Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid It is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and belongs to the glycosaminoglycan group. It is found, amongst other places, in the skin, connective tissue, joints and the vitreous humour of the eye. Its most important property is its ability to bind water, which helps to maintain an appropriate level of skin hydration, firmness and elasticity.

In aesthetic medicine hyaluronic acid It is used, amongst other things, to improve skin hydration and quality, contour the face and restore lost tissue volume. Products based on it differ, amongst other things, in their degree of cross-linking, which allows their properties to be tailored to a specific application.

One of the popular uses is lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid. The treatment can be used not only to increase lip volume, but also to improve their proportions, define their contour and correct minor asymmetries.

The effects of hyaluronic acid depend on the type of product, the site of administration and individual physiological characteristics. As this substance is naturally present in the body, hyaluronic acid is widely used in aesthetic medicine procedures.
