Our bodies naturally produce hyaluronic acid, a ‘wonder’ substance that has the ability to retain water in our skin. As we age, our production of hyaluronic acid slows dramatically and the skin loses its ability to store moisture. In doing so, the dermis loses its firmness and thickness, making us look older and tired. Hyaluronic acid has the incredible ability to attract and store moisture in the skin, helping skin to look smooth, hydrated and supple, blurring imperfections.
Fortunately, and while you can’t replenish the same amount of hyaluronic acid that we produce, there are options to help restore the skin’s need for hyaluronic acid so that we can keep it beautiful and youthful. The most effective solution is injected hyaluronic acid, not only to help reverse the signs of aging, but also to prevent them early on.
What are hyaluronic acid injectable procedures?Hyaluronic acid injectable procedures are a very popular option to reduce the appearance of facial lines resulting from aging, excessive exposure to sunlight factors or environmental pollution. The fillers that are used in consultations, such as Juvederm, are made with hyaluronic acid, as we said earlier: a substance naturally found in the connective tissues of the body. Once injected, they have the ability to replenish skin that has lost volume or elasticity during the aging process. Hyaluronic acid injectable procedures treat wrinkles from the inside out, making the skin appear younger and rejuvenated. In addition, it helps maintain or restore moisture, adds volume to the skin and stimulates the growth of new collagen cells.What is hyaluronic acid used for in aesthetic medicine?This type of filler is used for creases and facial wrinkles that appear over time. The most common hyaluronic acid injectable procedures are:
- lip augmentation;
- cheekbone augmentation;
- chin correction;
- dark circles removal;
- contouring of the temples;
- wrinkle treatment.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid injectable procedures?One of the biggest benefits of hyaluronic acid injectable procedures is that because our bodies produce this component naturally, there is no risk of allergic reaction. In addition, hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm provide immediate results. Upon leaving the consultation, the patient can immediately notice excellent results that improve as the days go by. One of the most attractive features of hyaluronic acid fillers is that the results last from 6 to 12 months, depending on the degree of cross-linking of the product used. In addition, hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible.What results can you expect?Hyaluronic acid injectable procedures are done in consultation and usually take a few minutes, depending on whether you are working on one area, several or the entire face. Natural injectable procedures are minimally invasive, meaning you can expect little or no downtime. Hyaluronic acid injectable procedures help to:
- Hydrate the skin;
- achieving the desired volume;
- stimulating new collagen cells;
- smoothing fine lines.
