Xelarederm
What is the Xela Rederm treatment
Xela Rederm is a treatment through small injections in the skin to help increase hydration, smooth texture, and improve skin firmness.
The formula combines hyaluronic acid (HA) 1.8% and sodium succinate, a derivative of succinic acid. This treatment can be considered when your skin still feels dry, looks dull, or fine lines start to show even though you use skincare.
What concerns can it address
- Dry skin or skin that feels low on moisture.
- Dull skin that looks tired.
- Fine lines, especially ones that look clearer when the skin is dry.
- Skin texture that is less smooth.
- Skin firmness that has started to decrease.
- Uneven skin tone, as part of a complete care plan.
How does it work
HA helps bind water so the skin is more hydrated. Sodium succinate completes the formula to support the process of improving skin quality. The goal is skin that feels more hydrated, looks fresher, and has smoother texture gradually.
Who is it for
Men and women with dry, dull skin, fine lines, or mild loss of firmness. The doctor will examine you first. The procedure will be postponed if the injection area has an infection or inflammation. Any history of allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and medication use needs to be shared during the consultation.
How long is the procedure and recovery
The procedure takes about 45-60 minutes, not including preparation. Small bumps, redness, or mild swelling can happen for about 1-3 days or longer depending on the patient’s skin response. If bruising appears, it usually fades in 7 – 14 days. Light activity can generally be resumed after the procedure. If you have an important event, allow a gap of at least 2 weeks.
How many times is it needed
As an initial plan, 3 sessions about 2 weeks apart can be used as a guide:
- Session 1: week 0.
- Session 2: week 2.
- Session 3: week 4.
When do results start to show
- About 1–2 weeks: early changes in skin hydration and freshness can start to be felt.
- About 4–8 weeks from the first session: a reasonable time to evaluate changes in texture and fine lines after the initial series.
These numbers are estimated evaluation times, not a guarantee of results. Swelling right after the injection should also not be taken as the final result.
