What Is Stylage®?
Stylage®Stylage® is a non-surgical skin revitalization product developed by Laboratoires Vivacy, France. It combines non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid with mannitol, a potent antioxidant. This unique formulation deeply hydrates and restores elasticity, while protecting the hyaluronic acid from free-radical degradation — prolonging the duration of visible results.

The mannitol component neutralizes free radicals, protecting the injected hyaluronic acid from oxidative breakdown — extending the duration of hydration and helping skin stay supple, smooth, and resilient over time.
