In the struggle to preserve youthful skin, many women resort to such a cosmetic procedure as biorevitalization. It promotes rejuvenation of the skin, fills the cells with life-giving moisture, and also restores the balance of hyaluronic acid in the tissues. However, being injectable, this procedure often proceeds with consequences such as the appearance of papules. What is it, how long do they last, whether it is necessary to consult a doctor at the same time, we will consider further.
What it is?
Biorevitalization - a process involving the introduction of hyaluronic acid under the skin through a syringe. Despite the fact that it is present in the epidermis, its concentration decreases over time. It is to combat the aging of the dermis and rid it of age spots that use this technique. The gel-like composition is administered by the papular method, forming subcutaneous vesicles at the same distance in the problem areas of the face.
Papules are those same cones with a solution that are visible after cosmetic intervention due to the small depth of administration of the drug.
They are not present with many other cosmetic procedures, but they are almost always visible after biorevitalization. They are not a pathology, as many patients are sure. This is a normal condition after administration of the solution.
They are formed by subcutaneous administration of hyaluronic acid using a thin needle. Moreover, as a rule, they are invisible immediately, but appear after some time in the form of characteristic reddish humps.They create more psychological discomfort than harm health. This is a skin reaction that usually goes away on its own without any accelerating catalyst.
What do they look like?
The appearance of the tubercles in each case may differ. In some patients, after the procedure, they resemble microscopic swelling of the skin of a light pink and even whitish color. It happens that they do not stand out against the general background. In other cases, the situation is exactly the opposite: they can be red and combined with uneven spots.
Sometimes papules in the healing process look like little bruises. This phenomenon is characteristic of thin skin in areas that are almost devoid of subcutaneous tissue. In general, these are bubbles with fluid, which may differ in the pitch between the punctures. Some of them can dissolve without a trace and a trace, others the next day turn red, and gradually become pale during absorption.
Where do they come from?
The opinion that this effect is associated with improper administration of the solution is erroneous. The drug, administered under the skin, is characterized by high density. Due to this, he can not resolve too quickly. During the injection itself, hyaluronic acid contributes to the creation of infiltrate in the deeper layers of the skin. In turn, it displaces the skin layers that lie above it, forming a tubercle.
Papular technique involves the introduction of the drug as close to the surface of the skin.
However, it is precisely from the angle of inclination that the microneedles can differ in size. This also depends on the specific area of the face, therefore, for example, in the décolleté zone, their diameter can be 3 mm, while in the paraorbital zone, tubercles with a diameter of 1 mm will appear.
And if the appearance of tubercles is considered the norm, their absence can talk about:
- violation of technology with the introduction of the drug too deep;
- low density solution, in which other ingredients are added to hyaluronic acid;
- excessive dryness and even dehydration of the skin of the face;
- high density and large thickness of the dermis.
The size of the papules may also depend on the composition of the biorevitalizant.
How many days do they hold?
As a rule, during the first few hours, the height of the papular tubercles increases to 30%. Only after that they gradually begin to resolve. The time of their resorption in each case is individual, since the reaction of the organism itself is different. Papules usually diverge within three days from the date of the cosmetic procedure.
This rule works with good skin condition and its ability to regenerate. However, there are cases when the rehabilitation period can take a week, or even more. Especially this nuance should be considered for owners of sensitive skin.
And the point here may lie in such factors:
- density of the skin itself;
- the thickness of the upper layer of the epidermis;
- cell moisture level;
- blood circulation activity;
- ability of lymph to circulate.
On average, papules pass completely in a week. The maximum possible period is 10 days. If, after its expiration, the papules do not decrease or dissolve for too long, this indicates the need to consult a doctor. A dermatologist is also needed when atypical skin recovery after biorevitalization is noted.
Why do not disappear?
There are times when the papules go too slowly.
They can hold for a long time for several reasons:
- due to an allergy to the drug or auxiliary agents in it;
- in view of the procedure contrary to the existing contraindication;
- due to injections in the joints of connective tissue;
- with improper administration of hyaluronic acid;
- from a poor-quality drug, which may be due to a violation of the rules for its storage;
- with insufficient distance between needle punctures;
- due to non-compliance with basic hygiene standards.
In addition, papules do not pass quickly in cases where the patient does not heed the recommendations of a specialist.
For example, during the rehabilitation period you can not use decorative cosmetics. Do not expose your skin to overheating or cooling. During this period, it is undesirable for a long time to be on the street.
Do I need to see a doctor?
In general, the first three days after the introduction of the solution there is no need for a visit to a specialist. However, if externally the papules not only do not decrease, but even increase, swelling, this is the first signal that the rehabilitation is not proceeding correctly. There are several signs worth paying attention to.
In addition to progressive swelling, these include:
- pain in the puncture sites with a microneedle;
- the appearance of watery bubbles in places of punctures;
- localization of facial redness;
- skin allergy;
- irritation and suppuration of papules.
None of these signs should be allowed to drift. This is not the norm for skin repair and requires immediate attention to a dermatologist.
How to speed up resorption?
After the anti-aging procedure, cosmetologists give the patient a series of recommendations. They are aimed at reducing skin rehabilitation time and accelerating the absorption of hyaluron by epidermal cells. Among other tips, you can identify the main ones.
During the healing period of the skin:
- you can not visit the bathhouse, sauna, solarium, so as not to provoke a stressful skin condition;
- if you need to go outside in the heat, you need to apply the agent with a UV filter pointwise;
- you need to drink plenty of fluids, especially when the temperature around rises;
- a delicate massage will help remove the papules, which is permissible already a day after the injection of the solution (you can only massage the distance between the punctures);
- antihistamines will help to cope with mild allergies (strictly as prescribed by the doctor);
- excluded any peeling measures, including scrubs;
- Do not comb the skin or rub it;
- sleep with the face up to prevent it from touching the pillow;
- you can not use foundation or powder;
- any physical activity, including training, is unacceptable;
- alcohol in any form is prohibited (for at least 4 days);
- it is necessary to use an antiseptic, applying it to the skin of the face with delicate movements without pressing on the tubercles.
In addition, you need to understand that you can not put pressure on the papules.
They won’t pass from this, but you can add skin problems. Using the indentation method, you cannot remove a medicine that is slowly absorbed by the body. Sometimes especially worrying patients, cosmetologists suggest a procedure for instant removal of papules.
It involves the introduction of a solution, the main component of which is hyaluronidase. Indeed, the effect will be immediate: the papules will instantly disappear. However, with them the effect of rejuvenation will also be negated. Therefore, the conducted biorevitalization will be useless. This is explained by the fact that the introduced enzyme instantly cleaves hyaluronic acid.
This method is used in extreme cases, when the papules do not pass at all. It allows you to restore the skin condition before biorevitalization. Sometimes, patients use pharmacy ointments to speed up resorption. They are able to relieve inflammation, reduce the severity of facial swelling, and improve blood flow.
Prevention
Often, women after the introduction of hyaluronic acid resort to masks. Of course, this will reduce puffiness, but doing it right after the procedure is not only undesirable, but also harmful. Despite the fact that in general they are not contraindicated, they can not be done during the first day. It is necessary to enable the skin to respond to the drug administered without additional therapy.
On the second or third day, you can prepare a soothing mask. To do this, it is not at all necessary to contact the salon, because it is not difficult to purchase the necessary components today. You can prepare the product from an ampoule of aloe vera juice, 2 ml of chlorhexidine bigluconate and Troxevasin. Obtained by mixing the mass is applied to the face and after 20 minutes removed with a cotton swab.
If holding such a mask seems unacceptable, you can use instead of it a fabric with impregnation in the form of herbal remedies. For example, an option with aloe vera, algae and even placenta extract is suitable. If desired, you can choose a combined type of mask. However, before buying it, it is better to consult a cosmetologist.
It is important to consider the papules themselves. Before injecting the drug under the skin of the face, you need to do a test for the injected substance. If he shows excessive skin sensitivity, the procedure will be impossible. Usually, in this case, the cosmetologist suggests replacing the solution with an analog or a cocktail.
Sometimes, instead of biorevitalization, it is better to perform a hardware cosmetic technique.
What else to consider?
While the skin heals, touching it is undesirable. It is advisable not to allow this when dressing and undressing, you can not sleep, covered with a blanket with his head. In addition, it is worth forgetting about the masking of papules, because this can stretch the time of rehabilitation of epidermal cells. You can not wash your face for a day or two, it is worth protecting your face from the negative effects of the wind.
If possible, when going out, it is necessary to wear a hat to protect the skin from negative weather factors. Smokers should quit smoking until the skin is completely restored. You should not prescribe yourself any drugs in order to accelerate the healing of the dermis. In addition, women who decide on this procedure need to choose the right day based on their menstrual cycle.
This is due to the fact that the hormonal background of a woman has a noticeable effect on the ability of the walls of small vessels to the permeability of the solution. The speed of the rehabilitation process, as well as the level of pain during piercing the skin and the introduction of hyaluronic acid, depends on this. The best time is considered to be the first few days after the end of menstruation. In order to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, specialists usually recommend that women take Ascorutin within 10 days.
Skin healing time may also depend on age. As a rule, the younger it is, the easier it adapts to the injected solution and absorbs it faster. Usually, doctors do not recommend resorting to a rejuvenating procedure for up to 25-30 years. It is believed that up to this age, hyaluronic acid is independently produced in the required amount, therefore there is no need to oversaturate the body with it.
Papules may indicate the presence of contraindications to the procedure. You can not resort to biorevitalization in such cases as the presence of cancer, diabetes mellitus, malfunctions of the cardiovascular and circulatory systems. In addition, you cannot inject hyaluronic fluid into the skin of pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Beauty is beauty, but in this case, complications are possible that affect the health of not only the mother, but also the baby.
Reviews

According to popular belief, in the process of absorption, they create discomfort in the form of itching. However, this factor indicates that rehabilitation is proceeding correctly.
Women notice that the skin quickly returns to normalbut if there are any diseases, this can cause a long rehabilitation period.

Many women who have resorted to this procedure note that after it, the appearance of the skin resembles hives or multiple mosquito bites.
Experts point to the fact that the duration of healing of the dermis does not indicate its thoroughness, but also about the existing complications. This is important to understand, as ignoring the problem can lead to big problems. They emphasize that the papules may go unevenly, so you should not be afraid that some cones disappear faster than others. It can be not only blood flow, but also lymph flow at the injection site. Usually longer papules stay in the neck and eye area.
