Facial vitamin C
What is facial vitamin C?
In this aesthetic medicine procedure, it consists of the administration of vitamin C directly into the skin by means of microinjections.
This procedure allows vitamin C to reach the deepest layers of the skin, enhancing its antioxidant and rejuvenating effects.
The injected vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen, improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin, reduces the appearance of spots and wrinkles, and provides a healthy and uniform shine to the face. This treatment is ideal for those seeking deep revitalization of the skin and visible and lasting results in improving its appearance and health.

The treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the extent of the treated area.
Immediately after the procedure, a soothing mask can be applied to reduce any possible redness or inflammation. The patient can resume their daily activities almost immediately, with specific instructions for post-treatment care to maximize benefits and ensure a quick recovery.

In the injected facial vitamin C procedure, a topical anesthetic cream is usually used to ensure patient comfort. This cream is applied in the areas to be treated approximately 20 to 30 minutes before the start of the procedure to numb the skin and minimize any discomfort during injections. Since the needles used are very thin and the injections are superficial, topical anesthetic cream is usually enough to provide a comfortable patient experience.
Recovery of the injected facial vitamin C procedure is quick and easy. Immediately after treatment, it is common to experience slight redness and, occasionally, slight inflammation in the injected areas, which usually disappear in a few hours to a couple of days.
It is recommended to avoid direct exposure to the sun and the use of irritating products on the skin during the first 24 hours. Patients can resume their daily activities almost immediately, with the sole recommendation to keep the skin hydrated and protected with sunscreen. The results, which include more luminous, firm and even skin, are visible in a few days and progressively improve.
