01.01.2021

Hyaluronic acid is commonly called the "elixir of youth" because of its wide use in cosmetics. However, hyaluronic acid is also used in medicine to treat many diseases, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, liver and eye diseases.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body in the form of the sodium salt (sodium hyaluronate). It is found in the highest concentration in the skin, in synovial fluid and in the vitreous humor of the eye. Hyaluronic acid is also a component of body fluids and connective tissue. It is also a building block of blood vessel walls.

The main function of hyaluronic acid is water binding. Every day, about 30% of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the body, breaks down and is replaced by new acid molecules. However, with age, its amount gradually decreases, which causes the degeneration of the tissues in which it is located. That is why hyaluronic acid deficiencies are more and more often supplemented by providing it from the outside in the form of injections, tablets or creams.

Wrinkles are a natural condition at a certain age, which does not mean that you have to accept it. Nowadays, you can get rid of them in an equally natural way, using just hyaluronic acid. Its main political task is to bind water. One acid molecule can retain up to 250 water molecules, thanks to which the skin is properly moisturized, firm and supple. Thanks to the achievements of aesthetic medicine, we can fill these gaps.

Hyaluronic acid preparations administered to the deeper layers of the skin are a natural filler. You can use them to enlarge your lips, reduce wrinkles, fill face collapses, nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the lips, chin cavities, drooping cheeks or sunken temples. It is also ideal for eliminating flaccidity of the earlobe, lions wrinkles, horizontal forehead wrinkles, chin shaping, correction and shaping of the nose, correction of drooping corners of the lips, filling in wrinkles around the eye, and other such treatments.

The treatment consists of injecting the preparation in the right area and at the right depth for it. The use of hyaluronic acid as fillers are aimed at increasing the volume, modeling the face or cheeks oval.

Hyaluronic acid is well tolerated by the body and the results of the treatments are immediate. After 10-12 months, the preparation is naturally broken down by enzymes, therefore, to maintain the effects, treatments should be repeated. The advantage of this treatment is that despite the absorption of the preparation, a significant improvement in skin quality is visible, through the regeneration of intercellular structures, improvement of elasticity and its tone. The hyaluronic acid preparation is injected with a very thin needle or microchannel. The procedure takes place after prior anesthesia, but this is not necessary because the procedure is not very painful. The treatment lasts up to a maximum of 30 minutes, and the effects do not have to wait long, they are visible immediately after the procedure.
