Skin Rejuvenation & Revitalisation with Restylane Vital or Teosyal Meso As we age, the quality of our skin changes – collagen and elastin fibres degrade and our cells become less efficient at producing a substance called Hyaluronic acid. Restylane Vital™ and Teosyal Meso counter the effects of sun damage and provides deep dermal hydration. It improves skin elasticity, making the skin look hydrated and feel smooth to the touch.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) intensive skin hydration and rejuvenation As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin diminishes, as the skin cells lose their ability to produce hyaluronic acid. This can be demonstrated by squeezing the skin between the fingers. In young people, the skin rapidly restores itself to its original volume. However, as we get older, the ability of the skin to restore itself is reduced. The reduction in volume of hyaluronic acid plays an important role in the development of wrinkles. Approximately 56% of the hyaluronic acid concentration in the body is found in the dermis (middle layer) of the skin. The elastic properties of hyaluronic acid offer resistance to compression, so that the skin protects underlying structures from damage. At the same time, hyaluronic acid allows the collagen fibres to move easily through the interstitial substance.
What is Restylane Vital and Teosyal Meso and how do they work? Restylane is an injectable form of hyaluronic acid specially formulated for skin hydration. Hyaluronic acid such as Teosyal Meso and Restylane Vital can retain 500 times its own volume in water, plump out the skin and intensively hydrate it from within. This hydrating property not only helps the skin to look and feel firmer, but also aids in the transport of essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells. It is targeted at a broad range of treatment areas, helping to hydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face, neck, décolletage (the area between the neck and breasts) and hands. Teosyal Meso and Restylane Vital are two different brand names of hylauronic acid that we use to help provide deep hydration of the skin resulting in a plumper, firmer and younger looking complexion.

What Are the Risks and Complications? Millions of injections using hyaluronic acid have now been performed in people around the world. After treatment some common injection related reactions might occur. These include transient redness, swelling, discomfort, itching, bruising or discolouration at the injection site. Typically resolution is spontaneous, within one or two days after injection into the skin.
How soon will I see the results and how long the effect lasts? The course of treatment typically includes two to three build-up injections at 14-day intervals followed by a booster injection after three to six months. As hyaluronic acid is completely broken down within the skin over a period of months, eventually leaving no trace of the filler, further top ups may be required every 6 months or so. Clinical studies have shown that three sessions of treatment with either Teosyal Meso or Restylane Vital injections achieve the desired result in nearly ALL cases. 80% of people were also still satisfied with the result three months after treatment. . Teosyal Meso and Restylane Vital are excellent products for restoring and maintaining the balance of hyaluronic acid in the skin helping to intensively hydrate and plump out the skin resulting in a smoother, firmer, less wrinkled complexion.
