Originally used solely for moisturizing, hyaluronic acid has now entered the realm of wrinkle reduction and cosmetic procedures. This technique utilizes non-animal, stable hyaluronic acid produced through bacterial fermentation. By injecting it as a filler into dermal folds, depressions, or areas requiring volume enhancement, it achieves wrinkle reduction and facial contouring, delivering immediate wrinkle elimination and facial rejuvenation.
Hyaluronic acid naturally exists as a gel-like substance within the dermal tissue of human skin. It functions to store moisture and increase skin volume, contributing to a plump, full, and elastic appearance.
However, hyaluronic acid diminishes with age, causing the skin to lose its water-retaining capacity. This leads to gradual dullness, aging, and the formation of fine wrinkles.Thanks to advances in biotechnology, hyaluronic acid can now be extracted from connective tissues of vertebrates, such as chicken combs, eyeballs, umbilical cords, and cartilage. While traditionally sourced from animals, synthetic versions eliminate concerns about allergies and infections.
