Description of the drug

The Italian company Regenyal Laboratories is the copyright holder of the Idea Bio-Expander brand. The product under this name is a gel based on hyaluronic acid. The substance is produced using a special technology that allows you to combine a stabilized base of different molecular weights and an unstabilized base of high purity with a minimum amount of BDDE binding agent. This allows you to achieve unique therapeutic effectiveness when using the product.

Bioexpander is classified as a sterile, monophasic substance of gel-like consistency, with increased density (HA content 25 mg/ml), good plasticity, and low viscosity. The product successfully combines the functions of a filler and a biorevitalizant. The drug is sold in sets of 3 syringes in a box (each volume is 1.1 ml). The kit is completed with a cannula (27G, 40 mm). Extrusion of the substance also allows the hypodermis to be treated using 30G needles.

Composition and properties of the drug BioExpander (Bio - Expander)

Filler, biorevitalizant BioExpander (Bio - Expander) is hyaluronic acid (HA) maximally purified from chemical impurities and unnecessary proteins, that is, which are not identical to the dermis. The resulting HA is one to one with the natural one present in human skin. For the body, such a HA behaves exactly the same as its native one, without causing rejection or other side effects.

The filler is produced using a unique technology, suggesting a synergistic effect from 3 types of HA:

Stabilized HA, weighing 1000 kDa and 2000 kDa;
HA is free, weighing 500 kDa;
HA built into a stabilized HA matrix. HA concentration 25 mg/ml

BioExpander (Bio - Expander) - a filler with a biorevitalization effect with an increasing effect, guarantees noticeable lifting and disappearance of wrinkles, and also restores the original volumes.

BioExpander is a filler that creates a supporting frame and activates the work of fibroblasts. The remodeling process is guaranteed to start at different levels. High elasticity coupled with low viscosity ensures easy introduction into the dermis with natural distribution in the tissues.

BioExpander (Bio - Expander) is a biorevitalizant and filler characterized by increased biointeractivity and safety. The effect of the filler on the dermis occurs only within physiological limits and the result looks natural.

Indications for procedures using BioExpander (Bio - Expander)

natural age-related loss of fatty tissue;
not moisturizing the skin enough to make it look fresh;
lack of a healthy complexion;
loss of natural facial contours;
decreased facial turgor (drooping eyelids, drooping corners of the eyes).

The result of using the drug BioExpander (Bio - Expander)

correction of perioral wrinkles, neck, décolleté and back of the hands;
absence of swelling and restoration of natural volume;
biorevitalization effect, that is, skin hydration and rejuvenation;
prolonged time of preservation of the biorevitalization effect;
the recovery process takes minimal time, since the procedure is minimally invasive and does not injure the dermis;
the filler distribution does not affect natural facial expressions;
the drug is administered without pain due to its low density and natural viscosity for the human dermis.

Contraindications to the use of biorevitalizant BioExpander (Bio - Expander)

infectious and inflammatory processes in the area of proposed correction;
dermal defects in the injection area;
breastfeeding and pregnancy;
undergoing chemical peeling or laser treatments less than 2 weeks ago.

Indications for use

Bioexpander is classified as a new generation of fillers intended for biorevolumetry. The substance is ideally distributed under the skin, replenishing the missing volume, stimulating natural processes responsible for tissue renewal and restoration. The skin receives three-dimensional support. Using the tool allows you to:

perform non-surgical tightening of weakened tissues;
create soft, natural volume;
even out skin texture (smooth out wrinkles, minimize folds);
strengthen, rejuvenate, improve the quality of skin structures.

Application

Aging is not only wrinkles; many micro- and macroscopic complex volumetric changes appear on the face. They are aggravated by bad habits, environmental factors, and the redistribution of subcutaneous fat weakens three-dimensional structural support.

Lips are a key aesthetic detail of the lower part of the face

They, symbolizing charm and sensuality, should be full, with moisturized, smooth skin. The appearance of lips also depends on the aging process: they lose fullness, become thinner and paler. Hyaluronic acid is an ideal filler for replenishing volume and creating an aesthetic appearance.

Puppet lines

One of the problems of the aging face is marionette lines, which appear due to the loss of structural support at the corners of the mouth. With their appearance, the face looks sad and aged. After the nasolabial fold, this is the area that worries women the most. The introduction of a bioexpander lifts sagging skin.

Chin

Restoring the definition of the chin is an important aspect of the overall aesthetic correction of the lower part of the face. Downward migration of cheek tissue, fat and bone resorption (dissolution) lead to unwanted emptiness and weakness of the skin in the middle part of the lower jaw, making aging obvious. Bioexpander is an excellent material for improving the contour of the cheeks, tightening aging tissues, and creating a youthful appearance.

Excess skin folds on the chin look very unattractive. Filler solves this problem too.

The most common side effect is temporary pain, bruising, and redness. All these symptoms disappear within a few days.

Efficiency of use

The drug is classified as a universal anti-aging agent. The substance is indicated for use by patients of different ages (35–75 years), with different skin types and conditions. The result looks natural even on thin, dry, oily skin.

Bio expander is popular for:

elimination of ptotic sagging of eyelids, cheeks, oval;
fold adjustments;
filling wrinkles on the face and body;
volumization for lack of volume of cheekbones, lips, chin;
deep hydration, structural tissue rejuvenation.

Note! The versatile action of the substance allows you to observe a positive effect from the moment the procedure is performed until 12 months after the intervention.

Efficiency of Regenial Bio Expander

Bio-Expander is successfully used for contour correction in patients of a wide age range - the filler can be used in patients from 25 to 65 years old. Ideal for finely wrinkled aging, for patients with thin skin, for working in delicate areas. Course therapy is usually prescribed from the age of 30. It has an immediate lifting effect, which intensifies within 2-3 months after the procedure. The skin becomes moisturized, tightened, and elastic. The frequency of injections depends on skin type, physical condition, and age. Usually 3-5 sessions are performed. The effect of the procedure lasts 6-8 months, after which the course can be repeated.

Carrying out the procedure

Bioexpander and other REGENYAL biorevolumetrics are completely ready for injection under the skin. It is enough to open the syringe with the drug, connect a cannula or a standard thin needle. The cosmetologist must carry out these actions in front of the patient. Attempts to carry out the procedure independently are fraught with negative consequences.

The cosmetologist must conduct an information consultation before the intervention. The doctor finds out the possibility of performing the manipulation, decides on the drug, and selects a scheme of action. On the appointed day of the procedure, the cosmetologist performs:

Cleaning and disinfection of required areas.
Pain relief, as agreed with the patient.
Marking injection sites.
Treatment of planned areas using a cannula or thin needle. Treatment zones and the amount of the drug are determined individually.
Lightly massage the affected areas for better distribution of the drug.

The procedure takes from 15–20 minutes to 1–2 hours. The duration depends on the scale of processing. A single procedure or a series of 2-3 interventions with an interval of 3-6 weeks is possible.

Healing period

In most cases there is no rehabilitation period. The beauty of the face can be spoiled by swelling, bruising, and redness for 1–3 days. Tissue trauma when using a cannula is minimal. Puncture wounds are invisible and heal quickly. To obtain the expected results, the doctor will recommend adhering to the following restrictions:

refuse swimming pool, bathhouse, sunbathing, washing in hot water;
exclude from the diet alcohol, food, and drinks that retain moisture in the body;
be selective when performing skin care procedures (do not injure tissue, do standard massage, or use hardware);
be subject to physical stress.

Attention! No special skin care is required. You can use your usual cosmetic products. It is recommended to avoid decorative options for 1–2 days. Using REGENYAL cosmetics will help reveal and consolidate the positive effect.

The result of the procedure using the Bioexpander is noticeable immediately. The face acquires a youthful appearance: the skin is evened out and volume is restored. The first six months the effect is maximum, gradually intensifying. Stable retention of results is observed for up to 9–12 months. Then, you can repeat the procedure.

Result of bioreinforcement

Bio-expander saturates the deep layers of the skin with moisture, restoring its healthy appearance. After the filler is introduced, hyaluronic acid molecules remain in the deep layers of the dermis for 9-12 months, creating an additional framework for connective tissue; in addition, collagen fibers are formed around them. All together makes the skin denser, the contours of the neck clearer.

The metabolic rate in dermal cells increases, the production of elastin and collagen is activated. A small effect from the injections is visible immediately, but the final result should be assessed 2-3 weeks after the injections. After a year, bioreinforcement sessions can be repeated.

Neutralize the effect

The bioexpander consists of almost 100% hyaluronic acid. This makes it easier to correct and neutralize the result. The process is carried out using lidase, longidase.

To minimize the effect, it is enough to introduce microdoses of the substance into areas that require correction. Neutralization of the result is possible by injecting a sufficient amount of the drug.

A similar effect is observed when using physiotherapeutic effects with devices (microcurrents, darsonval). Visiting a steam room or working out in the gym have a similar effect.

Precautionary measures

To prevent complications, the doctor first identifies possible contraindications to the procedure:

hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid;
skin diseases at treatment sites;
acute course of chronic, occurrence of general diseases;
cardiovascular, somatic, endocrine pathologies of severe course;
malignant tumor processes;
autoimmune disorders;
period of pregnancy, lactation;
tendency to keloid scarring of tissue.

The procedure is not performed on persons under the age of majority. It is recommended to start getting acquainted with Bioexpander at the age of 30–35 years. It is not advisable to perform the procedure if the patient is not feeling well. It is recommended to postpone the intervention from the peak of menstruation to more favorable days.

Various violations carried out by a doctor or a patient can lead to complications:

tissue necrosis;
the appearance of compactions;
extensive swelling, bruising, redness;
inflammatory process;
disruption of blood supply to tissues;
numbness of areas;
allergic manifestations.

Important! The appearance of symptoms indicates the need to consult a doctor. The cosmetologist selects the appropriate treatment, minimizing the development of unpleasant consequences.

Features of the procedure and price of “Bioexpander”

Plastic surgery offers to restore the contours of the neck and face by introducing 3D mesothreads made of precious metals (gold or platinum). A therapeutic alternative that is safe for the body is delicate bioreinforcement with an Italian product based on hyaluronic acid. Compared to surgical correction, reinforcement with Bioexpander:

carried out without incisions, therefore less traumatic;
eliminates the risk of postoperative complications;
provides high biocompatibility: the body does not reject the material;
requires a short rehabilitation period (3-5 days).

Each milliliter of Bioexpander filler contains 25 mg of a solution of two types of hyaluronic acid.
These are stabilized molecules synthesized from raw materials of non-animal origin, connected into chains using the “slow cross-linking” method. They provide instant saturation of fabrics with moisture. Thanks to the combined composition, Bio-expander is evenly distributed in the deep layers of the dermis, simultaneously strengthening and revitalizing the skin. Injection filler has its own characteristics:

Before injections, the skin is cleaned with an antiseptic and lubricated with a local anesthetic.
The injections are made by a cosmetologist, having previously divided the correction area into separate sections.
The “Bioexpander” is injected with a syringe equipped with a microcannula. This ensures the most accurate dosage at each point.
For uniform distribution in the deep layers of the skin, the injection sites are lightly massaged.
The price of the Bioexpander reinforcement procedure is comparable to the cost of introducing less modern fillers, and is 5-10 times less than surgical reinforcement.

Indications and contraindications

"Bioexpander" is designed for patients over 35 years of age, indications for its use:

age-related sagging of the oval of the face, contours of the neck, earlobes;
deep wrinkles;
decreased skin elasticity;
age-related dehydration of the dermis

Before starting sessions, you must consult with a cosmetologist. He will test the tolerability of the drug, select an anesthetic, and eliminate contraindications:

pregnancy, breastfeeding;
allergy to hyaluronic acid;
skin damage at the sites of upcoming injections (wounds, sun and thermal burns, ulcers);
chronic diseases in the acute phase;
skin diseases;
diabetes mellitus of two types;
less than 2 weeks after chemical or laser peeling.

If there are no contraindications, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. To get a pronounced effect, you need to complete a course of 1-3 sessions with a month's pause between them.

Pros and cons of the drug

A clear advantage of Bioexpander is the unique composition of the product. The combination of different types of hyaluronic acid allows you to achieve natural results with maximum efficiency. The drug has good plasticity and low viscosity, which allows the substance to be successfully manipulated. Bioexpander has the properties of a filler and biorevitalizant, which provides the skin with comprehensive care and stable lifting.

The disadvantage of Bioexpander is that the drug is classified as an anti-aging drug. It is not recommended to use filler in patients under 25 years of age. With the help of the drug it will not be possible to achieve significant volumization; the effect of the substance is natural. The result of the procedure lasts 6–12 months. The duration of action is individual. Some patients have to repeat the procedure frequently.

Opinion of cosmetologists

Doctors use different fillers in their work. Bioexpander is famous as an easy-to-use, soft product. Using the substance, cosmetologists often treat delicate areas, obtaining a natural result. Doctors rarely manage to achieve full volumizing effectiveness with the Bioexpander.

The cosmetologist does not expect significant results from the Bioexpander.

The cosmetologist calls the product mild and does not hope to solve problems with its help.

A cosmetologist offers patients a Bioexpander, but is afraid of side effects.

Reviews from doctors and patients

I have been working with the bioexpander for more than a year. An excellent product for vector lifting, correction of nasolabial lips and facial contours. Restores a “swollen” face, replenishes the deficiency of subcutaneous fatty tissue. The lifting effect and biorevitalization are noticeable immediately. Konstantin, cosmetologist-dermatologist

Barbara

There were few reviews about the drug, but I decided to listen to the doctor’s advice. The result is pleasing: the nasolabial lips are filled, a clear oval face with pronounced cheekbones. The condition of my skin did not improve in one day, but I can see the difference.

Elena

I have used fillers before, but my skin did not have such a healthy state after them.
