Skin Bio Revitalisation & Biostimulation

So-called ‘’refresh injection’’ are a constant appointment for many women and men who want to take care of their appearance and slow down the signs of aging by restoring freshness and radiance to the skin.

How does biostimulation work? It is a mesotherapy that through micro-injections with fine needles that have the same thickness of a hair, tiny droplets of poly-revitalising solution are delivered into the skin. The delivery of these active ingredients directly where they are needed makes biostimulation a formidable treatment.

There are several ways to biostimulate and thus rejuvenate the skin: through needles, lasers or radiofrequency machines, but the most widely used method is the injection form.

Among the various treatments available, one of the most in vogue is skin biostimulation or bio-revitalisation, which today constitutes the indispensable element of any aesthetic medicine programme.

Let's look in detail at what the active ingredients are and what they are used for :

Hyaluronic acid: this is a sugar naturally present in the intercellular matrix of the dermis, i.e. in the liquid that bathes and holds skin cells together. We use non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, very fluid molecules that have the ability to draw in water and thus moisturize the skin itself without volumising it.
Essential minerals (sodium, chlorine, potassium) are indispensable for all cellular activities and must be continually replenished for proper functioning of our body. As the skin is very exposed to air pollution, sunlight and temperature variations that can lead to widespread loss of liquids and mineral salts, it is particularly in need of constant replenishment to keep it in good condition.

Amino Acids: In the skin, there are two essential proteins present in the intracellular matrix: collagen and elastin. Collagen gives firmness to the skin while elastin gives it elasticity. During the course of our lives, all the proteins in our bodies are continuously destroyed and rebuilt, and this important turnover also takes place in the skin. In order to maintain the production of these two proteins, it is important that the building blocks for their construction, i.e. amino acids, are never missing.
Vitamins and coenzymes: Vitamins are the molecules that make all the metabolic processes we mentioned above possible, coenzymes are mostly derived from vitamins, the latter are mostly taken in with the diet and are converted by the body into coenzymes. Dietary deficiencies and a stressful lifestyle can cause vitamin and coenzyme deficiencies, which in turn cascade through all the metabolic processes of organs including the skin. It is extremely important to provide the right amount of vitamins and coenzymes directly where they are needed in order to keep the skin in the best possible condition.
Antioxidants: these are those who fight the formation of free radicals. But what are free radicals? In a nutshell, they are dirty, damaged molecules that can damage cells and structural proteins

The short-term effect is maximum hydration: ability to retain water in the skin, visible from the very first treatments, resulting in smoother features.

Long term-effects: increased production of collagen by the fibroblasts, which are stimulated to reach ideal concentrations of this substance approximately 80 to 90 days after the first infiltration

Technique

Post-treatment

A slight redness may occur on the treated area, which disappears after a few hours. Rarely there is bruising, which in any case resolves spontaneously within 24-48 hours. Immediately after the treatment it is already possible to use make-up.
Skin Boosters are usually done as a series of 3-4 initial treatments every 4 weeks, then every 6 months.
Depending on the patient's needs, Dr Combi identifies a specific revitalisation programme using various injection techniques in order to achieve an improvement in the tone of the facial areas but also of the neck, décolleté and hands.
The most evident results can be seen by using the most complete 'long acting tissue bio-revitalisation programme', which COMBInes different types of treatment from biostimulation with hyaluronic acid, to chemical peeling, to cosmetics and dietary supplementation with which to achieve in-depth skin tissue restoration.
