What is hyaluronic acid?

Hello, this is MY Beauty Clinic.
Commonly seen in cosmetic treatmentsHyaluronic acid injections。So, what exactly is hyaluronic acid?

 
Hyaluronic acid is a moisturizing and hydrating component found in the human body that can hold 6L of water per gram.

It is a highly viscous substance that is found throughout the human body, including the epidermis, dermis, cartilage, and vitreous body of the eye.

It is said that hyaluronic acid decreases rapidly from the 40s, and by the 60s, it is about half of what it was in the 20s.

 

Hyaluronic Acid Injection

Hyaluronic acid injections are considered to be an effective treatment for wrinkles and sagging caused by muscle and bone atrophy with age.

As mentioned above, hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally present in the body, so it can be said to be safe. However, it is also easily absorbed, so if it is absorbed immediately after injection, you cannot expect any improvement effects on wrinkles or sagging.

Therefore, the hyaluronic acid used in beauty clinics is processed to have a structure that is difficult to absorb by linking hyaluronic acid to each other in order to maintain its effect. This is called “cross-linking”.

The durability and use of hyaluronic acid will change depending on the cross-linking method.
