How does it work?
We deliver a customized "cocktail" of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the target areas. This potent blend deeply hydrates, repairs the skin structure, and stimulates collagen production to reverse the signs of aging from the inside out.

Biorevitalization is an innovative treatment designed to restore the skin’s moisture balance and trigger its natural rejuvenation processes. The procedure involves delivering high-quality hyaluronic acid—the key component responsible for skin hydration and elasticity—directly into the deeper layers of the dermis.
Key Benefits:

• Deep Hydration: The treatment saturates the skin with hyaluronic acid, which locks moisture within the cells to ensure optimal hydration levels.
• Improved Skin Texture: Biorevitalization enhances skin density and elasticity, leaving your complexion smooth, firm, and supple.
• Cellular Regeneration: By stimulating cell turnover and boosting metabolism, the treatment effectively slows down the aging process.
• Comprehensive Solutions: It successfully targets age-related changes, dullness, fine lines, loss of firmness, and chronic dryness.

How It Works
During the session, hyaluronic acid is administered via micro-injections into the deep layers of the dermis. Working at a cellular level, it restores the skin’s natural water balance and repairs damaged tissues. The result is a visibly fresher, deeply hydrated, and lifted appearance.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Biorevitalization is ideal for those looking to restore freshness and elasticity, or for anyone noticing the first signs of aging. It is highly effective as both a preventative measure and a recovery treatment after intense environmental exposure (sun damage, harsh climates, or stress).

Polynucleotides: Advanced Recovery for Rosacea-Prone Skin
Polynucleotides are biologically active substances that stimulate cellular repair, enhance microcirculation, and strengthen blood vessel walls. These unique properties make polynucleotide injections a highly effective treatment for rosacea, as they actively reduce redness, calm inflammation, and reinforce the vascular network.
Key Benefits of Polynucleotide Injections for Rosacea:

• Vascular Health Improvement: Polynucleotides stimulate vascular regeneration, helping to strengthen capillaries, reduce fragility, and prevent further dilation.
• Anti-Inflammatory Action: These injections effectively minimize inflammatory processes within the skin—a crucial factor in managing rosacea, which is often characterized by chronic inflammation.
• Skin Soothing & Restoration: By accelerating cellular repair and boosting circulation, the treatment speeds up the healing process, diminishes redness, and significantly improves overall skin appearance.

Conclusion:
Polynucleotide injections are a powerful component of a comprehensive approach to treating rosacea, particularly when addressing visible vascular networks and active inflammation. This treatment not only alleviates symptoms but also fundamentally improves the long-term health and resilience of the skin.
