The French cosmetic house Pierre Fabre, using extensive research experience, has created an innovative therapeutic monophasic gel for contour correction Glytone. This is a hyaluronic filler produced using BioActiPolyMatrix technology (BAMT), which increases the stability of HA. Glytone not only rejuvenates, it “works every day”, strengthening and moisturizing the skin. Despite its delicacy, the drug at the same time provides effective correction. Let's try to figure out how it is similar to its analogues and how it differs from them.
Glytone: ANALOGUES
- the most appropriate analogue is Stylage, which, like Glyton, contains mannitol, but all preparations based on monophasic stabilized hyaluronic acid - Belotero, Teosyal, CRM, Princess, Reneall, etc. can be classified as similar
Glytone 1: characteristics and results of application
Glytone 1 contains unstabilized hyaluronic acid (14 mg/ml) and 34 mg/ml magnetol, as well as glycerin and phosphate buffer.
The drug is used for biorevitalization, so it can be used at any age, usually from 25 years. Glytone 1 is administered over several months (the amount is determined by a cosmetologist) every 30 days, and provides the following effect:
- light skin lifting;
- smoothing out minor wrinkles;
- moisturizing and improving skin condition;
- restoration of elasticity and turgor;
- narrowing of pores;
- improvement of complexion.
The drug is injected into the skin of the face, as well as the neck and décolleté.
The skin rejuvenation effect lasts for three months.
The price of one procedure in Moscow and St. Petersburg, depending on the cosmetic clinic, ranges from 11,000 rubles per 1 ml, which is enough for one rejuvenation session.
Glytone: about the drug
Glytone series preparations are designed for comfortable, atraumatic correction of wrinkles. The composition of the drug optimally combines hyaluronic acid and 6-hydric alcohol mannitol, which inhibits the process of acid destruction, due to which the long-lasting effect is maintained.
Glytone fillers simultaneously perform the following tasks:
1. It corrects wrinkles of varying severity and restores volume
2. Glyton starts the process of formation of new collagen, while simultaneously inhibiting the destruction of its own collagen fibers. Consequently, the skin is tightened, and the result is maintained even after the expiration date; 3. Mannitol contained in the drug does not allow hyaluronic acid to disintegrate, which ensures that there is no effect of volume “falling” in the first days after correction, and also allows you to maintain long-term activity of the drug (up to 24 months). The hyaluronic acid used in the gels is produced according to strict European quality standards, and the filler has also passed all the stages of control that currently exist for similar preparations. The above measures are a guarantee of the safety and highest quality of the product. Glytone eliminates the need for preliminary allergy tests and is completely biodegradable, leaving no traces. Due to their plasticity, the gels do not require intensive kneading at the end of the procedure, which significantly reduces the risk of hematomas.
Features of Glytone fillers include the presence of unstabilized hyaluronic acid in the composition, which provides a biorevitalization effect in the area of drug administration, which is an additional powerful factor in neocollagenogenesis.
Glytone 2: characteristics, injection zones and results

Filler composition
Elasticity and viscosity in ideal proportions are the hallmark of Glytone. Filler components:
- hyaluronic acid (hereinafter HA) with a density of 20-24 mg/ml;
- mannitol (6-hydroxy alcohol);
- cross-linking agent (in this case butanediol diglycidyl ether).
The concentration of stabilized HA in Glyton fillers depends on the labeling of the drug. The biorevitalizant from this line contains only 14 mg/ml of unstabilized HA. The role of mannitol is to preserve HA and prevent its premature destruction or biodegradation. The concentration of cross-linking agent in Glytone maintains the viscosity required for a particular type of correction.
The balanced composition of Glytone Professional fillers guarantees a harmonious restoration of the microvolume of the skin and its smoothing. Therefore, their use is indicated not only when the first more or less pronounced signs of aging appear, but also in the correction of scars, to eliminate age spots, post-acne scars, etc.

The above-described drugs are contraindicated in patients with individual intolerance to the components, during pregnancy, lactation, as well as during exacerbation of chronic diseases, with any infectious diseases. The procedure should not be performed if inflammatory processes occur.

In any case, before performing an injection, you should consult a doctor and contact only specialists.

Glytone: reviews
Most patients are very satisfied with the injections of this drug, some note faster absorption of the drug than stated. It is worth remembering that this may be due to both individual characteristics of local immunity and metabolism, and to procedures, for example, if a patient undergoes a course of hardware procedures after the introduction of a filler, and the field where Glytone is located is affected by the procedure, Don't be surprised that it will resolve faster. This is true for procedures that increase local blood circulation, especially those accompanied by heating. If you want to combine filler injections with hardware techniques without compromising the duration of its presence in the tissues, you can consider options for contour preparations based on polycaprolactone - Ellance.
Mechanism of action and indications for use
Glytone is a line of innovative multifunctional drugs that are designed for non-traumatic correction of age-related changes in the face. The preparations in this line are monophasic hydrogels, which include stabilized cross-linking agent (BBDE) and native (non-stabilized) hyaluronic acid and mannitol (sexahydric alcohol).
Mannitol performs the properties of an antioxidant, thereby stopping the process of enzymatic destruction of hyaluronic acid, and the combination of its two fractions in one preparation - native and stabilized - allows for the process of internal regeneration of the extracellular matrix and the prevention of skin aging.
The combination of mannitol and two fractions of hyaluronic acid allows you to use Glytone to fill wrinkles of varying depths, model the shape of the face, stimulate metabolic processes in the dermis (therapeutic effect) and correct scars.

How is the procedure performed?
Stage 1: Pain relief. Anesthesia is always performed, except in cases where the patient himself refuses local anesthesia. For this, several products can be used, such as Emla cream or Light Dip. The analgesic (pain-relieving) effect of the drugs develops 30 minutes after application.
Stage 2: Administration of the drug. The technique for administering the drug depends on the density of the gel, its purpose, the type of cosmetic defects on the client’s skin (linear wrinkles, lack of subcutaneous tissue, etc.). Sometimes injection techniques are combined. The video below shows the procedure for introducing the gel into the lower eyelid area.
Stage 3: Completion of the procedure. According to the recommendations of the manufacturer Glyton, after completing the injections, a light tissue massage is allowed to evenly distribute the gel in the tissues.
You should not wash your face or apply medications or cosmetics, so as not to provoke the development of an allergic reaction and not to introduce infection into the injection wounds. The only thing that can be done is to treat the injection sites with an antiseptic.
