Hyaluronic acid is a holy grail skincare product, known for its moisture-retaining properties. However, did you also know that it’s a key ingredient of most dermal fillers? We’re going to further explain what this miracle substance is and what its benefits are as a filler.
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a chain of sugar molecules. It’s found naturally in the human body, in places like the skin, joints and eyes, where it stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. It also helps skin to retain moisture and heal. Over time, we lose HA. As we age, we lose around 70% of our natural hyaluronic acid. Therefore, it makes sense to inject it and top up supplies as they are lost.
How Do HA Fillers Work?
Injecting a hyaluronic acid gel under the skin performs a few jobs. It restores lost volume and plumps up the areas where it’s applied. This can reduce the appearance of wrinkles as the skin has more support. Its moisture-retaining properties also give the skin a softer, more natural appearance.
Although most fillers are made with HA, that doesn’t mean they are all the same. In fact, there are over 160 dermal fillers available on the market today. Each one is tailored to target a specific concern, so it’s important that your injector knows their products well.
The Benefits Of Hyaluronic Acid Filler
The obvious benefit of choosing a hyaluronic acid filler is the immediate changes to your appearance. If you have concerns about wrinkles, these can be reduced almost instantaneously with one treatment. You can also increase the size of your lips, reshape the appearance of your nose and contour your face with fillers. In fact, there are so many cosmetic uses for filler nowadays that you could almost give yourself a full makeover!
As well as changing your appearance, HA filler also plumps and hydrates the skin, meaning that you’ll have a softer look.
