Bio-Remodelling Treatment for Improved Skin Quality, Hydration and Elasticity

If you’re seeking an all-over glow and rejuvenation rather than targeting individual wrinkles or adding volume, our bio-remodelling treatment might be your answer. This innovative injectable procedure uses a special form of hyaluronic acid, not to “fill” or sculpt, but to spread beneath the skin and bio-stimulate cellular renewal. Unlike traditional fillers, bio-remodelling injections (often dubbed skin booster treatments) are very fluid and diffuse, designed to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin:contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}. The outcome is improved skin texture, firmness, and radiance – essentially, better skin quality from the inside out.

One well-known example of this type of treatment is often referred to as an “injectable moisturizer” or by brand names overseas (which we avoid mentioning due to compliance). The product is injected just below the skin’s surface at key points of the face (or neck/hands), where it then disperses. Over the following weeks, you’ll notice your skin becoming more plump, smooth, and elastic. Fine crepey lines diminish, and the skin gains a youthful dewiness as hydration increases in the dermis.

Treatment Process

A typical bio-remodelling session involves a series of very small injections. For the face, we follow a standardized protocol of around 5 injection points on each side – these points are chosen to allow maximum spread of the product across the entire face. The needles are tiny, and we can apply numbing cream beforehand, though many patients find this treatment quite tolerable due to the superfine needles used. You might feel some mild stinging or a slight burning sensation briefly as the product is deposited – this is normal and passes quickly.

The procedure is quick, usually 15-20 minutes once numbed. After the injections, you will have small bumps (like mosquito bites) at each injection site. Don’t be alarmed – this is expected. These bumps are just the pools of the hyaluronic gel beneath the skin and will typically dissipate on their own within 12-24 hours as the product diffuses. We generally do not massage these bumps down, as the aim is for the product to slowly integrate on its own. There’s minimal downtime: aside from those temporary lumps and maybe some redness, you can resume normal activities. We just ask that you avoid touching or applying makeup to the bumps for the rest of the day to keep them clean.

Pre- and Post-Care

Before Treatment: Similar to other injections, avoid blood thinners and alcohol for a couple of days prior to reduce bruising risk. Ensure you’re well-hydrated; some anecdotal evidence suggests being hydrated can help the HA distribute nicely (after all, hyaluronic acid loves water!). No major special prep is needed. If you’re doing this ahead of a big event, plan it at least 2 weeks out – not because recovery is bad, but results build with time and you want any injection marks fully gone.

After Treatment: You’ll leave with small raised bumps on your skin. Do not massage them or try to push them down – they’re supposed to be there initially. They will usually flatten out by the next day. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or steamy hot showers for 24 hours, as excessive sweating or heat could conceivably make those bumps take longer to go down. Do not apply makeup for the rest of the day to avoid risk of irritation or infection at injection sites. Some patients like to gently apply a cold pack (not directly on injection points, but around them) if there’s any mild soreness or to reduce redness. However, most people find it a very easy recovery. We’ll provide you with any additional aftercare tips specific to your skin.

One important aspect: bio-remodelling is usually done as a series for best results. Typically, we perform 2 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. Some individuals benefit from a third session a month later for optimal improvement. After that initial series, the enhanced skin quality can last around 6-9 months, and many patients will do a maintenance session every 6-12 months to keep the glow going. We will tailor the plan to your skin’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from dermal fillers?
While both dermal fillers and bio-remodellers use hyaluronic acid, they differ in consistency, placement, and purpose. Dermal fillers are thicker gels injected to add volume or fill folds – for example, filling a deep wrinkle or augmenting a cheek. Bio-remodelling HA is very fluid and spreadable. It’s injected not to create volume in one spot, but to disperse through the skin layers, acting like an internal moisturizer. It doesn’t change the shape of your face or feature; instead, it improves the overall quality of the skin. Think of fillers as spot treatments and bio-remodelling as a whole-skin treatment. Another difference: bio-remodelling HA specifically triggers the skin’s own collagen and elastin production:contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}, so you get a biostimulatory effect combined with hydration.

What areas can be treated?
The most popular area is the face – to improve skin laxity and texture on the cheeks, lower face, etc. But we can also treat the neck (many people love this for crepey neck lines or just general neck rejuvenation) and the décolletage (upper chest) which often suffers sun damage and can develop fine lines. The hands are another area – the skin on the back of the hands thins with age, and bio-remodelling injections can help restore a more youthful appearance there too:contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}. Essentially, anywhere you have thin, lax, or dull skin, this treatment can be beneficial. Dr. Tokman will assess and discuss what’s appropriate for you.

How long do the results last?
Results develop gradually after each session. After the two initial sessions, most people see significant improvement for around 6 months or longer. Some report effects lasting even up to a year, especially after completing 2-3 sessions. However, because your skin will continue to age naturally, we recommend a maintenance session roughly every 6 months to a year. Think of it like a deep skin conditioning treatment – doing it periodically will keep your skin in top shape. If you discontinue after the initial treatments, your skin will slowly return to its baseline over time (though the extra collagen produced means you might retain some benefit even after a year).

Is it safe?
Yes, the product used is biocompatible hyaluronic acid – no synthetic chemicals or toxins. It’s generally very well tolerated. Because we’re injecting superficially, the main side effects tend to be mild and localized: small injection lumps, redness, maybe tiny bruises. Allergic reactions to pure hyaluronic acid are extremely rare (it’s a substance your body recognizes). There are no long-term complications, as the product fully metabolizes over time. One safety advantage is that, unlike filler which sits as a gel and carries a (small) risk of vessel occlusion, this runny HA is not likely to occlude a vessel because of how it’s injected (very superficially). Still, you are in medically trained hands in case of any issues. We’ve found this treatment to have a high safety profile and a high satisfaction rate.

What kind of results can I expect? Will it remove wrinkles?
The results are often described as a “healthy glow” or “airbrushed” quality to the skin. You can expect your skin to feel more hydrated and look more plump. Fine lines (like those fine crinkles) can diminish because the skin is better hydrated and has new collagen support. However, deep wrinkles or folds (like nasolabial folds) usually need fillers or other treatments – bio-remodelling isn’t a volumizer. Many patients notice their skin feels smoother and tighter, pores may appear smaller, and there’s a general radiance. It’s not going to change your features or give the dramatic effect of a filler in a specific area; rather, it subtly improves the entire canvas of your skin. Think of it as boosting the quality of your skin such that makeup sits nicer and you feel you might not even need as much makeup because your skin is naturally dewy.

Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
Anyone with signs of skin aging or quality concerns who wants a refresh without altering their face shape is a great candidate. Typically, from mid-30s onward, people start to notice a loss of skin elasticity and hydration – that’s a good time to start this treatment to slow the decline and even reverse some changes. It’s also popular in older age groups as a complement to fillers or other treatments, addressing the fine skin texture that other procedures might miss. Even younger patients in their late 20s can opt for it as a preventative boost or if they have very dry/dull skin. Since it’s not adding volume, there’s no risk of looking “overdone,” so it appeals to those who want very subtle, “nobody will know” improvements. During consultation, we’ll examine your skin and discuss if your goals match what bio-remodelling can offer.
