Why hyaluronic acid is so successful

What is hyaluronic acid in aesthetic medicine?

Hyaluronic acid is a macromolecule naturally produced by the skin. It is this macromolecule that maintains the skin and gives it volume. Synthetic hyaluronic acid can be injected for aesthetic medicine purposes. Perfectly biocompatible and hypoallergenic, hyaluronic acid is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for restoring volume, filling wrinkles and stimulating collagen production.

What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid injections for the skin?

Hyaluronic acid offers many benefits, which can be summed up in its two main categories:

• Cross-linked hyaluronic acid. This type is fairly thick and viscous. Thanks to its texture, it has a volumising effect and can be used to fill wrinkles and redefine facial features when they begin to sag.
• Hyaluronic acid with little or no cross-linking. More fluid, it is easily assimilated by the skin. Rather than restoring volume, it has a powerful trophic effect. Once injected, it deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. It stimulates the skin and induces neocollagenesis: the skin then produces more collagen and regenerates, giving a brighter, healthier complexion.

What explains the success of hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is very popular for many reasons. It is an entirely natural product, so allergic reactions are rare and there are few contraindications. Injections give effective, immediate results, with minimal side effects.

Finally, this treatment is perfectly compatible with other aesthetic medical treatments, such as Botox injections, mesotherapy or LED treatment. Results are optimised and the beauty of your skin is assured.

Hyaluronic acid can be used on several areas of the face

The success of hyaluronic acid is also due to the wide range of indications for injections, which can be performed on many areas of the face, including:

• The nose. This is medical rhinoplasty, which can correct a hooked nose or a nasal bridge that is too thin.
• Dark circles. As the fat between the orbital bone and the lower eyelid disappears very quickly, hyaluronic acid fills this hollow.
• The chin. If your chin is receding or forming a “double chin”, medical genioplasty can build it up to enhance your profile and reshape your jawline.
• The forehead. If the forehead is flat, hyaluronic acid can give it a rounder shape.
• The cheekbones, when they sag under the effect of ageing skin.
• The facial oval. When it has become inverted, injections can restore it and give you a rejuvenated look.

Hyaluronic acid can also be injected into several areas of the face at the same time. Different injection techniques are available, such as profiloplasty or MD Codes.

A discreet, natural look thanks to hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid has the advantage of being very discreet. The doctor’s expertise makes it possible to choose the type and quantity of acid required for a natural result, without excess volume. The injections also leave few marks, such as temporary bruising. There is no need to avoid social life, and the treatment leaves no scars.

Hyaluronic acid is reversible

The effects of hyaluronic acid are also temporary, lasting several months. So if you are worried about the permanence of cosmetic surgery, injections are a highly effective alternative for rejuvenating your skin.
