What is IAL System
IAL System is a Fidia Farmaceutical drug for biorevitalization. This Italian company is a leader in the production of hyaluronic acid for medicine, including anti-aging cosmetology.
Preparations from the IAL line can be used for both contour plastic surgery and anti-aging procedures. The second option is more popular because it may include changing the shape of the lips.
Composition of the product
Products from Fidia Farmaceutical consist of hyaluronic acid. Depending on the type, it can be unstabilized (IAL System) or modified (IAL System version ACP). In the IAL System the acid concentration is 1.8%, in the Ial System ACP it is 2%.
How does the drug work?
Hyaluronic acid is found in the human body and is responsible for tissue elasticity. With age, its amount decreases, the skin becomes dry and tight, and wrinkles appear.
Biorevitalization is aimed at saturating the skin with hyaluronic acid. But IAL System does not simply replenish the amount of this substance in tissues. The rejuvenating effect is achieved by an intelligent method: regulating the production of hyaluronic acid by the body's cells. Therefore, IAL Systems are much more effective than fillers that simply fill wrinkles. This result can be achieved by an increased concentration of hyaluronic acid.
Biorevitalization course Ial System
A) Patients are under 30 years of age.
The course is carried out to increase skin turgor in people who abuse tanning, to prevent photoaging, before traveling to hot countries and 2 weeks after returning, as well as to correct premature wrinkles in patients with dry skin with sudden weight loss. This group uses Ial System monotherapy.
B) Age from 30-45 years.
The course is carried out with the aim of increasing skin turgor and elasticity, restoring its adaptive properties. And also during the rehabilitation period after chemical peels, laser rejuvenation, phototherapy. The primary course includes 2 Ial-System procedures, after 2 weeks Ial-System ACP, a month later - the second Ial-System ACP procedure. Maintenance course - Ial System ACP or Ial System every 4-5 months.
B) Age after 45 years.
The course is carried out with the aim of replenishing the deficiency of hyaluronic acid in the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts, and restoring microcirculation. The primary course includes 2 Ial System procedures once every 2 weeks, after 2 weeks - Ial-System ACP, after a month - again Ial System ACP. Repeated course - injections of Ial System ACP are carried out at intervals of 3-4 months. In patients with dry skin, the scheme of simultaneous administration of two drugs once a month has proven itself to be effective.
Line of biorevitalizants Ial System
The line of IAL preparations is available in the form of a gel in syringes.
Inside any package there should be a sticker indicating the volume of the syringe, name, expiration date, and batch number. The presence of such an insert guarantees that the product was purchased from an authorized dealer.
Product name | Description |
IAL System | The product contains hyaluronic acid in its natural form. Once in the body, it quickly begins to act and the result is noticeable within a few days. The effect will last up to three months. Typically used to prevent aging in patients under 30 years of age. Can be used as a preparatory agent before the introduction of more powerful drugs. Available in dosages of 1.1 and 0.6 ml. |
IAL System ACP | The abbreviation ASP means a special technology in which the molecules of hyaluronic acid are connected to each other in a special way, and the acid itself has an ester structure. Once in the body, the drug is first broken down and only then begins to act on the skin. The effect of using IAL System ACP is noticeable a month after the procedure, but it is more durable. |
IAL System DUO | Duo combines the features of the two previous products. It contains both natural hyaluronic acid and ester, so it acts both as a biorevitalizant and as a filler. The effect lasts up to 8 months without requiring additional correction. It is used primarily for plastic surgery: creating volume, correcting facial wrinkles and tear troughs. |
IAL-SYSTEM DUO

I injected the biorevolumetric drug Ial-system DUO into patients with local volume deficiency, namely for the correction of the zygomatic region, cheek-zygomatic region, temporal region, replenishing the volume deficit in the lower third of the face - the area of the labiomental fold, nasolabial fold, correction of the shape of the chin . Ial-system DUO can be introduced both into the deep layers of the pancreas and supraperiostally (for example, in the temporal region), using a 25 G cannula. It gives a natural correction result that lasts up to 6-8 months. The uniqueness of this drug lies in its composition: in addition to stabilized HA, which gives volume, Ial-system DUO contains HA-ACP ester, which has a pronounced and prolonged stimulating effect on the cells of the dermis and hypodermis, promoting the synthesis of collagen and its own hyaluronic acid, as well as accelerating maturation preadipocytes into mature adipose tissue cells (improving the quality of subcutaneous adipose tissue). This restructuring effect occurs both on the area of the injected drug and on neighboring anatomical areas due to the diffusion of unstabilized HA. As a result, there is a pronounced improvement in skin quality - color, turgor and elasticity.

I have injected Ial-System DUO into patients with volume deficits in the cheek-zygomatic region, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, mental fossa, and to restore volume in the lips. Cannula and needle insertion techniques were used. When administered, the gel is easily distributed in tissues. Patients were examined after one, two and three months. All patients noted a positive result both immediately after the procedure and a significant restoration of volume and improvement in skin quality over time.
They also noted the absence of swelling and pastiness after injection. The face looks natural, at the same time fresh and young. Thanks to the structure of the drug, produced using the unique MUCH technology, my patients and I received such excellent results.

Observations of patients to whom I injected Bio-expander for a year and a half and Ial-System DUO for six months allowed me to judge the fairly wide possibilities of their use. Thus, Bio-expander, with its extreme plasticity and spreadability, behaves perfectly on skin with a reduced amount of subcutaneous fat, while significantly changing the turgor and elasticity of the skin, making it lighter. The effect of biorevitalization, in parallel with the delicate correction of volume deficiency, is observed in all patients, which is a very attractive addition to filling. The best results were observed in patients with the fine-wrinkled type of aging and “tired face” aging, as well as in young patients with local volume deficiency. The properties of the drug - to spread evenly and moisturize for a long time - make it very attractive for injection into fatty tissue on the body. Hands, earlobes, décolleté, skin above the knees, and inner thighs, when injected with a small amount of filler, significantly increase their turgor and elasticity. Ial-System DUO, with its higher viscosity, is injected deeper and is attractive for volume correction with simultaneous biorevitalization in the middle third of the face. The farther from the procedure, the brighter the effect of improving skin quality! After six months, the filling effect becomes better due to increased turgor and elasticity of the skin in nearby areas. Injections into the lower third of the face in patients with thick skin are also possible. Bio-expander and Ial-System DUO were enthusiastically received by patients and open up additional possibilities in injection contouring.
Marina Viktorovna Rusova
Dermatocosmetologist, trainer
Bio-expander and Ial-System DUO are truly a new class of drugs for restoring lost volumes! They fully correspond to scientific views on involutional processes that occur in subcutaneous fat tissue as one of the components of the skin. Unstabilized hyaluronic acid, introduced into the PFA as part of these preparations, realizes its biointeractivity, correcting age-related changes in this layer as well. As a result, both the specialist and the patient see the result immediately, and after 2-3 weeks the effect of improving quality is additionally realized and does not provoke swelling in the injection areas. When working, the preparations have good extrusion, are plastic and are perfectly distributed in tissues, which allows you to recreate soft and natural volumes and contours and avoid the “made face” phenomenon.

Application of “Ial System” in different age categories
The production of hyaluronic acid by cells decreases after 25 years. It is from this age that experts recommend undergoing a biorevitalization session with the IAL System.
- From 25 to 30 years of age, the procedure is needed to prevent premature aging, increase skin tone and remove early wrinkles.
- From 30 to 45 years, periodic biorevitalization slows down skin aging and helps it function normally by saturating it with hyaluronic acid.
- After 45 years, the procedure is used to smooth out existing wrinkles and increase the elasticity of the skin. Biorevitalization is also relevant for those who have already tried other cosmetic procedures (peelings, resurfacing). It speeds up the rehabilitation period and prolongs the resulting effect.
IAL System preparations - composition and effects on the skin
The hyaluronic acid included in the IAL System preparations is of biosynthetic origin, and “auto-cross-link” technology is used to obtain it. The non-animal origin of hyaluron, meaning the absence of protein components, ensures that injection formulations are hypoallergenic and fully compatible with human skin. Sodium chloride and water are used as auxiliary ingredients. The drugs are packaged in disposable syringes of a special design (with a stop) and equipped with two sterile needles of different sizes.
Unlike its analogues, the IAL System not only promotes deep hydration of the skin, but also recreates the internal framework (matrix) of the skin, in which cells are able to move freely, divide and produce their own collagen fibers. We can say that IAL System has a special stimulating effect - not depleting, but mobilizing the internal reserves of the skin . After injections, the transformation and strengthening of cellular structures begins, the skin receives the necessary amount of moisture, and blood microcirculation improves. As a result, the face becomes fresh and looks much younger than before the injections. After 3-4 procedures, you can expect the effect to last for up to six months.
And the effect of IAL-System injections - customer reviews convince us of this - is not only aesthetic (tight and elastic skin without wrinkles), but also therapeutic , because the improvement in appearance occurs due to the formation of new collagen fibers and maintaining the skin's production of its own hyaluronic acid.
Administration technique
According to the official instructions, the drug is injected to a depth of up to 2 mm at an angle of up to 45⁰, depending on the thickness of the skin.
The injection technique is determined by the doctor based on his experience, area of exposure, and skin condition. Typically, microinjections are used to treat the neck, décolleté and arms. In this case, the needle is injected at an angle of about 40⁰ at a distance of 1 mm, then the doctor injects a small amount of the drug and a small papule appears on the skin. By the end of the procedure, the swelling almost disappears, remaining noticeable around the eyes, since the layer of subcutaneous tissue in this area is very thin. After completing the injections, the doctor massages the treated area for 10 minutes to distribute the drug evenly.
To correct deep wrinkles, a linear technique is used, in which the needle is inserted along its entire length parallel to the skin. In this case, the drug is injected in the form of a line and creates support, lifting the epidermis and smoothing out wrinkles.
IAL System and IAL System ACP can be used separately, but are usually combined. Their complex is called the “gold standard of biorevitalization.” This technique, created by Fidia Farmaceutical specialists, consists of two stages. At the first stage, a basic course of 1-3 procedures using the IAL System is carried out. The body is saturated with hyaluronic acid. To consolidate the effect, in the second stage the skin is treated with IAL System ACP, as a result the effect is more pronounced and lasts longer.
Principle of action and correction zones
IAL-system biorevitalizants are produced by a pharmaceutical company (Italy), which specializes in the research, development and production of pharmaceuticals and medical products for dermatology, cosmetology and rheumatology; Ial System includes hyaluronic acid.
The products are ISO 9002 registered and all stages of their production are carried out in compliance with GMP requirements. The drugs are produced in the form of sterile, viscous gels, in disposable syringes with a volume of 1.1, 1 or 0.6 ml. Inside the packaging of each product of the company there is a sticker indicating the volume of the syringe, the expiration date of the cosmetic product, its name and batch number. It is pasted into the client’s card, which allows a person to verify at any time that the doctor used a certified product to perform the procedure. Ial System biorevitalizants have the same properties as natural hyaluronic acid, only they have increased resistance to hyaluronidase due to internal esterification of the molecules of the active component. Gels enhance the processes of natural skin regeneration and increase the speed of its recovery after chemical peeling.
When administered intradermally, a two-stage breakdown of hyaluronic acid occurs:
- at the first stage, it goes through the process of hydrolysis (cleavage of ester bonds) and release of native molecules of the active component;
- at the second stage, enzymatic breakdown of these substances occurs and the formation of biologically active fragments of different molecular weights, which interact with cellular receptors, stimulate the work of fibroblasts and increase the synthesis of natural glycosaminoglycans of the skin (collagen, elastin).
Ial System gels are used to correct age-related changes in the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, shoulders, back of the hands and inner thighs.
Side effects
Biorevitalization is an intervention that violates the integrity of the skin, so side effects may be observed after it:
- swelling at puncture sites;
- unpleasant and painful sensations;
- swelling of the face;
- bruises.
All side problems disappear without additional actions. Swelling and swelling will go away in a few days, bruises may take a week to heal.
To prevent infection and shorten the recovery period, you should refrain from visiting solariums, saunas, baths, swimming pools and other places with elevated temperatures. Touching the skin and applying cosmetics is prohibited in the first couple of days.
Patient reviews about IAL System biorevitalization
Tamara, 47 years old, Ulyanovsk:
I have read positive reviews from patients and cosmetologists, but my opinion is rather negative. I didn’t get any stunning results, although the procedure costs quite a bit. The wrinkles have smoothed out a little and the skin is not so dry, but the same can be achieved by buying a good cream with a lifting effect, and it will be more profitable for the money.
Lydia, 56 years old, Moscow:
I was afraid that at my age no procedures would help, but biorevitalization with the IAL System even saved me from deep wrinkles! Expensive, of course, but I don’t regret it, the effect is amazing!
Marina, 42 years old, Novosibirsk:
In my case, the effect was noticeable, although it lasted six months. The skin tightened and the crow's feet around the eyes disappeared. I wouldn’t risk giving advice, AilSystem is still expensive, and more than one procedure is needed.
Answers on questions
Why can’t Yal System be used before age 25?
Up to 25 years, cells themselves successfully produce hyaluronic acid, and its introduction during the procedure can disrupt processes in the body and accelerate aging.
How many procedures are needed to achieve maximum effect?
Depends on the condition of the skin and the result you want to achieve. In the most difficult cases - at least 4.
What is the interval between treatments?
From a month to two.

IAL System series of drugs
The family of biorevitalizants is represented by three products, which differ from each other in the concentration of hyaluronic acid and its type (it can be stabilized and unstabilized). Two of the three products in this line are used within the framework of one unified cosmetic program “Gold Standard of Biorevitalization”.
IAL-system
– a sterile gel preparation based on unstabilized hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 18 mg/ml and sodium chloride. Biorevitalization with this product is recommended for patients with dry and atonic skin of the face, neck and back of the hands. Ial System restores skin turgor, protects it from the harmful effects of free radicals, improves blood microcirculation, and normalizes complexion. The drug is injected to a depth of one millimeter (into the superficial layers of the epidermis). The effect of its use lasts 3-5 months.
IAL-system ACP
– a biorevitalizant that contains esterified (stabilized) hyaluronic acid at a concentration of 20 mg/ml. Used to correct deep wrinkles and skin folds on the face, neck and décolleté, smooth out the relief and turgor of the skin, prevent photoaging and prepare for aggressive cosmetic procedures. It is injected into the depth of the papillary dermis. The effect of biorevitalization IAL-system ACP lasts 6-8 months.
IAL-system DUO
– a preparation based on hyaluronic acid stabilized in two different ways (by intramolecular ester bonds and using BDDE). The concentration of the main substance in the gel is 25 mg/ml. The drug has a dense structure, so it is used to replenish the volume of soft tissues in the cheeks, cheekbones, nasolabial folds, forehead, back of the hands and neck. The gel is injected into the upper layers of the skin, the result of the procedure lasts 8-10 months (depending on the individual characteristics of the body).
