How is hyaluronic acid used in cosmetology

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most requested cosmetology products nowadays. It has been popular for several decades and it has unique properties in fading skin care. Moreover, hyaluronic acid is a natural structural component of human body and has no contraindications to its synthetic supplementing.

How does hyaluronic acid work

85% of human body consists of connective tissue, which can be represented in liquid (intra-articular, cerebrospinal fluids, blood, lymph), gel (cartilaginous tissues, vitreous body, subcutaneous water), solid (bones) forms. Most of the connective tissue exists in epidermis.

The structure of connective tissue consists of collagen and elastin, and also complex molecular compounds of proteins and amino acids. The most important molecule in these compounds is a molecule of hyaluronic acid. The major part of hyaluronic acid in epidermis is contained in horny layer, the rest part supports collagen and elastin fibers and stimulates their development. This feature as well as the ability to bind and keep up to 500 water molecules in subcutaneous layer, helps to keep skin firm and elastic, and to prevent its fading and wrinkles formation.

Why is it necessary to supply the lack of hyaluronic acid in the skin

Every day as a result of metabolism there break up and recover up to 70% of total amount of hyaluronic acid in human body. The following factors affect the predominance of its recovery over break down and vice versa:

• aging changes;
• intensity and duration of exposure to ultraviolet radiation;
• balanced and rational nutrition;
• consumption of nicotine and alcohol;
• stressful situations;
• internal organs diseases;
• intake of certain medications, etc.

All these factors affect the hyaluronic acid synthesis. Negative influence and slowdown of metabolism processes decrease the amount of this substance and cause its concentration in the deeper skin layers, thus dehydrating the top level of epidermis. As a result of it, the skin becomes fragile and there appear wrinkles.

How to make up hyaluronic acid deficiency

There are two ways to make up the lack of hyaluronic acid:

• injectional;
• injection-free.

Also, it is possible to take food supplements with hyaluronic acid.

Injectional procedures are also known as “beauty shots”, and there exist different ways of hyaluronic acid introduction.

The most affordable and low-budget way to make up the lack of this substance is to use creams with hyaluronic acid. The effect from injections is more apparent, but it stays for a short period, only several weeks, and then the procedure needs to be repeated. Such a kind of skin rejuvenation may be very expensive. The application of creams might be less effective, but it forms long-lasting positive result.
