Stylage hydro by Vivacy Laboratories is a non-cross-linked injectable hyaluronic acid gel that improves skin hydration and elasticity. It is part of the mesotherapy protocol.

Composition :

Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid + Antioxidant * Mannitol 

Concentration = 14 mg/g

* All STYLAGE® products contain Mannitol, an antioxidant*, which protects the hyaluronic acid gel from free radicals (oxidative stress) generated during injections. It thus allows to delay its degradation.

Indication:

Hydration in the area of superficial dermis or epidermal junction

Preservation:

2°C to 25°C

Available in MAX version with low cross-linked hyaluronic acid. 

After careful observation of your face, the doctor will be able to determine the best Stylage treatment protocol for you. This product is available over the counter and does not require a prescription. However, it is essential to ask your doctor for advice. Mind that the injection of this product requires a technical medical gesture that must be performed by a doctor (doctor specialized in dermo aesthetics, dermatologist, plastic surgeon).

Stylage Hydro and Stylage Hydromax 2 very different products!

Stylage Hydro is a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, Stylage Hydromax is a crosslinked hyaluronic acid. They are not injected at the same level of the dermis, the Hydro Stylage is injected in the superficial dermis or at the dermal-epidermal junction. Hydromax Stylage is injected into the mid to deep dermis.

HYALURONIC ACID EXPERTS

VIVACY Laboratories are a French manufacturer specializing in the development, production and distribution of innovative injectable medical devices containing hyaluronic acid and antioxidants for aesthetic treatments.

BI-SOFT ® INJECTION TECHNOLOGY

In its constant quest for innovative excellence in the medical aesthetics market, VIVACY Laboratories have developed the Bi-SOFT ® injection technology, the new generation of patented injection systems.

SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY

To ensure total purity and homogeneity in the production of our hyaluronic acid gels, VIVACY's highly qualified experts carefully check each syringe before packing it.

STYLAGE (available with or without lidocaine) is an innovative range of single-phase cross-linked injectable fillers containing hyaluronic acid and antioxidants: mannitol or sorbitol. They are manufactured using VIVACY Laboratories' patented cutting-edge IPN-Like technology. (Except for STYLAGE Hydro and STYLAGE Hydromax, a non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel.)

HYALURONIC ACID: A “HYDRATION MOLECULE”

-       All VIVACY products are hyaluronic acid based. Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule present in the human body, especially in the skin and mucous membranes. It can store up to 1,000 times its weight in water, thus contributing to the hydration and toning of the treated tissues.

-       Hyaluronic acid has a short lifespan and is water soluble, which means that it must be stabilized before being injected into the skin. In order to do this, a special technical process called "cross-linking" is used to bind the hyaluronic acid molecules to obtain a cohesive hyaluronic acid gel for a smoothing, lifting and/or volumizing effect on the skin that will last for several months. The duration of the treatment depends on many factors, such as the patient's skin type and structure, age, lifestyle, the area treated, and the injection technique used by the practitioner.

-       From a clinical point of view, the main characteristics of the product sought by doctors are its ability to lift skin tissue, provide mechanical support and spread easily. To obtain these desired effects, the hyaluronic acid gel must have a unique combination of elasticity and viscosity. These specific viscosity and elasticity properties determine where the gel will be injected, allowing it to respond to the various mechanical constraints to which it will be subjected in the tissue.

Therefore, the interpenetration of the cross-linked hyaluronic acid networks:

- Optimises product rheology, in particular viscosity, to ensure good product injectability.

- Preserves the partial independence of the interpenetrating hyaluronic acid networks, while increasing the density of the chemical nodes.

- Ensures the cohesion of the hyaluronic acid gel and its single-phase properties.

MANNITOL AND SORBITOL, ANTIOXIDANT AGENTS

• During an intradermal injection, the invasive movement of the needle through the skin layers causes an inflammatory response and the production of free radicals. These free radicals are harmful to the hyaluronic acid molecules because they accelerate their degradation, leading to a faster degradation of the injected filler and a reduction in the duration of the correction effect. In order to protect the hyaluronic acid gel formulation during injection, VIVACY has incorporated antioxidants in its fillers: mannitol or sorbitol. These antioxidants act as active trappers against the most aggressive hydroxyl radicals generated during the injection process. As a result, they work to minimize the fast degradation of the injected hyaluronic acid gel.
