The second pair of twins who took part in our “Life Tested” project with the Galderma company are Olga and Anna. Which of them did Dr. Tatyana Tlatova from the Bicode clinic prescribe hyaluronic acid injections? We continue our “Life Tested” project, within the framework of which one of the two twins will undergo “tuning” using Restylane preparations using fillers and skin boosters based on hyaluronic acid. (You can see its conditions here, look at the first pair of twins who took part in our story - here.)
The next “brave twins” are Olga and Anna. Both are 38 years old.
Olga (in the photo on the left, with red hair (2 minutes older than Anna. “Two minutes is a huge time, simply decisive!” Olga laughs, “I always ended up being the eldest!”
The sisters did everything together. At first we studied together in the same class, then in the same group at the institute. Then they even worked at the same job - first Olga (well, of course, I was the first!), and when she quit - Anya.
They studied a completely unfeminine profession - mechanical engineering technology. They also work, not to say, in the “female” sector - in the field of banking IT. Both have two children. Olya has two girls, Anya has two boys.
And both are charming, cheerful girls. Both came to the Bikod clinic for their first consultation with Dr. Tatyana Tlatova with a determined attitude. Each was ready to give up the sweet fate of being injected by her sister:) “We read reviews about the method, the clinic, and the doctor, and realized how lucky we were that we saw an ad that they were looking for twins on BeautyInsider,” - said Olya.
Doctor Tlatova, having examined both of them, decided that she would work with her. “Both sisters look good,” she commented, “but Olya has more evidence. By “indications” I mean the depth of wrinkles and the general condition of the skin.”
When asked why, if the sisters are twins and their lifestyle is approximately the same, age shows up differently on their faces, Tatyana replied that yes, it happens, and this is not the first time in her practice. “Oddly enough, I deal with twins quite often. And even those who were very similar in childhood are still different in adulthood. Some have more active facial expressions, others were more successful and quickly found their own cosmetics that meet the needs of the skin... There can be a lot of reasons.”
In general, Olya had to prepare for the procedures, and Anya had to be happy for her sister :)
Healing period
Filler injections provoke hyperemia and swelling. It may take up to 3-5 hours for puncture sites to appear. After the anesthetic wears off, a feeling of discomfort (mild pain, feeling of fullness, stretching) may appear. Swelling and hemorrhages may appear. These are typical side effects of the procedure and resolve without treatment within 2–7 days.
To speed up the completion of the recovery period, prevent complications, and achieve the predicted result, the cosmetologist will warn you that restrictions must be observed. For the first 3–7 days it is prohibited:
- drink alcohol, smoke;
- use decorative cosmetics;
- sunbathe;
- go to the bathhouse, sauna, wash with hot water;
- swim in open water, visit the pool;
- perform skin treatments;
- engage in physical labor and sports.
It is recommended to adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle. It is advisable not to visit public places until injection wounds heal. On the first day, it is advisable to avoid washing your face and using any cosmetics. After the wounds have healed, standard skin care is acceptable.
The result of filling with Phyllex gels is visible after the substance is injected under the skin. The effect lasts from 6 to 12–18 months. After the problems return, the procedure is repeated.

Dr. Tatyana Tlatova offered Olya a choice - either to stretch out the “pleasure” for a long time, and inject skinboosters that improve the condition of the skin, and fillers that correct volumes and wrinkles, in several doses (and several days), or - to minimize the time spent, and in the first place procedure to do both. “It depends on the patient’s willingness to endure - or his willingness to spend time on the road twice instead of once,” Tatyana explained. “From a medical point of view, the simultaneous injection of fillers and skin boosters is a completely normal practice.”
Olya, as a busy and working person, chose the “all at once” option: “In any case, as far as I understand, I have 3-4 more visits to the clinic :) If something can be done at once, it’s better to do it!” After cleansing, the doctor applied Emla cream to Olya... ...and showed her the Restylane medications that would be administered:
And, in fact, she began to work. Olga’s biggest doubts were caused by the doctor’s proposal to inject a little filler into her lips. "Necessarily?" - she was scared.
This, as we know, is the most common fear among girls, who are afraid of the “Goldfish” image much more than wrinkles. Every time doctors have to explain that this is not at all necessary, that lip fillers do not always give such an effect, but only when the doctor follows the patient’s desire “I want lips like Jolie’s, and bigger, bigger!”
“Here we will only correct the shape and make the contour clearer,” Tatyana Tlatova reassured Olya. Looking ahead, let’s say that Olya was ultimately very pleased with this correction :)
Then the forehead area and bridge of the nose were worked on: Skin boosters were injected into the neck area - the drug Restylane Vital: Fillers were injected into the chin area: Fillers were also injected into the middle zone of the face. The nasolabial folds and temples were also corrected - where “chicken feet” usually form.
ART FILLER FINE LINES
Exposure to sunlight, nervous breakdowns and age-related changes - these factors, in combination and separately, lead to dullness and sagging of facial skin, and the premature appearance of wrinkles. The unique dynamic filler FINE LINES is intended for injections necessary for cosmetic correction associated with smoothing out small superficial wrinkles. FINE LINES, the filler is not limited to certain areas of the facial skin that are injected. The versatility of use of the drug is ensured by its production technology - TRI - HYAL Innovation, which made it possible to create a unique gel that includes 3 types of hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, differing in the length of the links, which individually give each component a specific effect.
The texture of the dynamic ART filler FINE LINES is very smooth, which contributes to its uniform and painless distribution over the entire area of the problem area of the facial skin.
The advantage of using the drug is its absolute compatibility and easy susceptibility of the drug by the body, the visible and long-term effect of the drug. With all this, the ergonomic, easy-to-use syringe makes the drug injection procedure comfortable and painless.
Depending on certain characteristics of the body, the filler is contraindicated in the presence of an allergic reaction to certain components of the injected gel, with identified autoimmune diseases, with high fever and heart disease, during pregnancy, breastfeeding and infectious diseases.
Immediately before the start of contouring, the patient signs an agreement to use the drug.
What's happening
Olya endured everything stoically. After the procedure, she looked very cheerful: And here’s what she told us after: “It wasn’t easy to withstand, but, on the whole, it was tolerable. The most painful area is the lips. The next day there was some swelling and bruising. But those, you know, pinpoint ones that turned yellow on the 3rd day and did not turn purple-black. In general, it didn’t look at all like the consequences of a family fight :) It was quite possible to go outside. Even going to work. It's OK. But I see the result now. The skin condition is clearly better. The wrinkles around the eyes seem to have already disappeared. Nasolabial folds and forehead wrinkles are noticeably reduced. And in general, the skin is so... radiant, or something. Usually in winter she is gray and sad, but here she is so cheerful, one might say, young. In general, I’m looking forward to my next visit to the clinic - completely without fear, with complete confidence in the doctor. The doctor is wonderful. I wonder how this will all end? What will I look like by the end of the experiment?.. And won’t Anya stop greeting me? :))”
Comment by Dr. Tatyana Tlatova: “To get lasting results from skinboosters, the procedure must be repeated 3-4 times. It’s also better to inject fillers not the whole dose at once, but gradually. I’m glad that Olga even likes the first result: when the patient is satisfied and trusts, the result is even better.”
We continue the “Life Tested” project, and will soon tell you about the third pair of twins. We will also follow the story of Zina and Maria and Olga and Anna.
We would like to thank the Bicode clinic, Dr. Tatyana Tlatova and the Galderma company for their assistance in preparing the material. The cost of the procedure using Restylane Vital skin boosters and Restylane fillers can be clarified by calling the Bicode clinic.
ART FILLER LIPS
Part of the IPSEN line of ART fillers, LIPS filler is used mainly to correct the contour, fill wrinkles, moisturize the skin and improve the appearance of lips that have undergone undesirable changes due to recurrent and external influences. ART filler LIPS is a monophasic gel, the action of which is aimed at obtaining a sustainable effect while adding moisture, volume and expressiveness to the lips. The ability of hyaluronic acid to retain and accumulate moisture leads to the filling of skin voids, which contributes to deep subcutaneous hydration and, accordingly, smoothing of the relief of the dermis.
Since the filler is a high-quality drug, has hyperallergenic properties and provides a long-lasting and sustainable result of the procedure, LIPS today is one of the leaders among drugs for specific purposes.
The absence of side effects and comfort during injections have made LIPS ART filler popular among more than 90% of users.
Patient reviews
Patients are not aware of Phillex drugs. Even if cosmetologists offer the use of the gel line, patients doubt it and most often choose more well-known products. There is no widespread use of the substance in our country. There are no positive or negative reviews about the use of fillers from the line.
The cosmetologist offers the patient Phillex, but it is not possible to obtain recommendations for those who used the products.
Elimination, minimization of the effect
If necessary, eliminate or minimize the effect after the introduction of Phillex gels, this is easy to do. It is enough to perform a subcutaneous injection into the area of the unsuccessful area with a drug that has hyaluronidase activity.
The correction is performed only by a doctor. This will allow you to achieve an optimal result without complications. With the help of a course of physiotherapy, regular visits to the steam room, and increased physical activity, you can get a similar effect over a longer period.
Precautionary measures
There are a number of restrictions for the procedure. The doctor collects information about the client's health status. If necessary, consultation with specialized specialists is possible.

Important point! Despite the safety of the drug and compliance with high international quality standards, there are risks of developing side effects. You should consult a doctor if discomfort increases after the healing period.
Side effects:
- granulomas, compactions;
- painful sensitivity;
- swelling;
- hematomas;
- inflammatory process;
- tissue scarring;
- facial asymmetry.
The risks of side effects can be reduced by following all medical recommendations. It is also important to choose a qualified specialist and read people’s reviews. Following the technique will help avoid negative consequences.
Advantages and disadvantages
The obvious advantages of Phillex fillers are the innovative technologies at the heart of the drug. The gels are easy to work with, the substances have a safe, prolonged effect. Patients often trust products made in Europe.
The disadvantage of Phyllex drugs is the weak marketing policy: the products are little known and have not gained popularity. Despite the obvious advantages, less advanced, but well-developed analogues are more popular.
