What is Hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid therapy is a cosmetic non surgical technique used for facial augmentation. The therapy involves injections in the face to mask facial flaws. It is important to know that it is a substance very well tolerated by the human body. You do not have to be tested for an allergic reaction before being injected with it.

Hyaluronic acid is compatible with the human body because it is a substance that is found in every single organic living thing. Its main purpose is to act as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to skin cells.

It is most present in the human body in fluids around the eye area and in the joints. In fact, aside from its applications to cosmetic surgery, it is also often injected into joints to relieve rheumatism and other kinds of joint pain.

When injected, it acts like an inflated cushion to support facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume and elasticity due to aging and other causes. It is also hydrates the skin by bringing water to the surface which helps give it a refreshed and more youthful appearance.

Also termed dermal fillers by cosmetic surgeons, it is used to add volume to deflated or depressed areas in the skin.
