Abstract: Facial rejuvenation (FR) remains one of the most sought-after treatments in aesthetic medicine. This case series demonstrates FR using aiva® Re-Verse (Aiva Services Ltd., London, United Kingdom), a proprietary formulation combining hyper-dilute Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA); Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany), Plinest® (polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN); Mastelli Srl, Italy), and Profhilo® (stabilised hybrid cooperative complex of high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HA) 64 mg per 2 ml; IBSA Farmaceutici Italia, Lodi, Italy). Unlike traditional protocols where these compounds are administered individually and typically on different treatment dates, aiva® Re-Verse allows all three components to be reconstituted together via an aseptic closed Luer-to-Luer transfer system. The pre-mixed compound, which contains all three ingredients, was delivered simultaneously within each injection bolus in one treatment session. To date, no published data have reported on the efficacy of this trifecta administered as a unified formulation. Three female subjects aged 44, 57, and 59 (mean age: 53.3 years) underwent FR with aiva® Re-Verse. Outcomes were assessed six months later by the subjects and treating doctor using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). All cases showed a maximum improvement post-treatment on the GAIS, indicating a successful response to intervention. No adverse events, such as nodules, hypersensitivity reactions, and/or delayed complications, were observed. Treatment was well tolerated, producing global aesthetic improvements, including enhanced hydration, subtle volumisation, improved elasticity, and refined skin texture. This technique offers a streamlined, cost-effective, and minimally invasive alternative to multi-step rejuvenation procedures. The limitations of non-cross-linked HA in terms of diffusion and degradation suggest that future studies should explore mildly cross-linked alternatives in combination with PDRN and CaHA, which may offer improved tissue re-density, hydration retention, and overall clinical outcomes. These promising results warrant further investigation in larger cohorts with extended follow-up.
