When hyaluronic acid was first developed, it was used solely for skin hydration. Today, it has expanded into applications like wrinkle reduction and cosmetic procedures.
This cosmetic technique utilizes non-animal, stable hyaluronic acid produced through bacterial fermentation. Injected as a filler into dermal wrinkles, depressions, or areas requiring volume enhancement, it achieves wrinkle reduction and facial contouring. Results are immediate, offering instant wrinkle elimination and facial rejuvenation.
Hyaluronic acid naturally exists in a gel-like form within the dermal tissue of human skin. It is responsible for storing moisture and increasing skin volume, giving the skin 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.
With advances in biotechnology, the sources from which hyaluronic acid can be extracted have expanded significantly.such as from chicken combs, eyeballs, umbilical cords, or cartilage tissue. While historically sourced primarily from animals, hyaluronic acid is now often synthetically produced, eliminating concerns about allergies and infections.
Skincare Benefits
Naturally present in the skin, hyaluronic acid helps draw moisture from both internal sources and the skin's surface while enhancing the skin's long-term hydration retention.When hydrated, hyaluronic acid maintains elastic fibers and collagen in a moist environment, imparting skin elasticity.
However, skin hyaluronic acid begins diminishing after age 25. By age 30, only 65% of childhood levels remain, dropping to 25% by age 60. As hyaluronic acid diminishes, skin moisture evaporates, losing elasticity and radiance. Over time, this leads to wrinkles and aging.
Moisturization and barrier protection are two crucial indicators for skin care. For superior, high-quality hyaluronic acid, its formulation must organically combine both macromolecular and low-molecular components. Macromolecular hyaluronic acid (ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of daltons) cannot penetrate the skin but forms a breathable film on its surface. This film keeps the skin smooth and hydrated while blocking external bacteria, dust, and UV rays, shielding the skin from damage.
Small-molecule hyaluronic acid (such as nano-hyaluronic acid HA800 with a molecular weight as low as 1000, or OCO small molecules that easily penetrate the skin) possesses anti-inflammatory properties, inhibits bacterial growth, and maintains skin clarity. It penetrates the skin to synthesize endogenous large-molecule hyaluronic acid, achieving hydration. It provides an optimal environment for cell proliferation and differentiation, directly promoting cell growth, differentiation, reconstruction, and repair.
