Overview
Bio-remodelling uses a highly concentrated, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, injected at a few precise points on the face or body. It is not used to fill wrinkles or add volume. The product spreads through the skin, hydrates it and stimulates collagen and elastin production, with the aim of improving firmness and elasticity in skin that has started to sag.

Frequently asked questions
Is bio-remodelling a filler?
No. It does not add volume or change the contours of the face. It works on skin quality, meaning hydration, firmness and elasticity. It can complement a filler treatment but does not replace one.
How many sessions are needed?
The first course is 2 sessions 30 days apart. A maintenance session is then usually offered every 6 to 12 months, depending on how your skin responds.
When will I see the effects?
The effect builds gradually as collagen production gets under way. The result is assessed one month after each session.
What happens afterwards?
Pain, warmth, redness or swelling may appear at the injection points. These reactions settle on their own within a short time, and ice can ease them. You can return to your usual activities, protecting the area with high-factor sunscreen for 3 to 5 days.
Who should not have this treatment?
Bio-remodelling is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or on inflamed skin. It should not be done at the same time as laser resurfacing or a medium or deep peel. Tell the doctor at the consultation about any history of herpes or anticoagulant treatment.
