One of the foundations of firm and well-hydrated skin is hyaluronic acid, which decreases with age. In aesthetic medicine, it is used to improve hydration, smooth wrinkles, and shape selected areas of the face.
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that occurs naturally in the human body. It is a fundamental component of the skin, responsible for maintaining proper hydration and firmness. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid gradually decreases, which causes the skin to lose its firmness and smoothness, becoming lax and rough. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine offers a way to replenish it and help preserve a youthful appearance.
Hyaluronic acid occurs in a non-cross-linked form, which is the natural form found in the body. This structure retains the ability to bind water molecules, which is why it delivers excellent results in skin hydration and firmness improvement. Cross-linking hyaluronic acid, that is, increasing its density, allows it to remain at the injection site for longer, making it ideal as a filler/implant.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to reduce wrinkles, enhance the lips, or reshape the nose. These treatments are highly effective and provide immediate results. However, they need to be repeated from time to time, because hyaluronic acid is completely resorbed after approximately one year. This is both a disadvantage and an advantage, as treatments using this substance are fully reversible over time.
Modern, well-established hyaluronic acid preparations used in our Clinic, supported by clinical studies, have a high safety profile, which allows them to be safely applied to almost all areas of the skin of the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other parts of the body.
