Some women get hyaluronic acid injections several times a year to stay young and beautiful longer. Others know absolutely nothing about such procedures. There is a third category. These are ladies who suffered because of improperly performed “beauty injections”.
Miracle hyaluronic acid
Trends in aesthetic medicine change very quickly because beauty requirements are very changeable. Today, many cosmetics contain hyaluronic acid. It is found in creams, serums and other tubes and jars with rejuvenating compounds. In the human body, this substance is produced by connective tissue cells called fibroblasts. It is absolutely the same for all inhabitants of the planet, regardless of gender, age or race. The acid does not have a species affiliation. And it also has an amazing quality – it attracts water. One “grip” molecule of hyaluronic acid can hold up to 10 thousand water molecules. This process directly depends on the age of the person. The younger the woman, the more effectively the fibroblasts work, maintaining good skin condition. If you compare the skin of a baby and an old person, the result will be “on the face”. In older people, fibroblasts get tired, produce less hyaluronic acid, as a result of which the skin becomes drier. Dry skin is a sure sign of aging.
Methods to combat skin aging
The first signs of aging appear on the face in the form of crow's feet near the eyes, then wrinkles between the eyebrows and nasolabial folds appear, the corners of the mouth drop. There are several methods for eliminating these problems. Today, official aesthetic medicine uses injection techniques divided into two large groups: mesotherapy and contour plastic surgery. Mesotherapy is small pricks with a needle over the entire surface of the skin, through which liquid hyaluronic acid is injected. This procedure is aimed at improving the condition of the skin. The face becomes fresher, acquires a healthy color, small wrinkles disappear. Mesotherapy is powerless in the fight against deep wrinkles; contour plastic surgery of the face is needed here. What is it? Special microimplants without a shell (fillers) filled with concentrated hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin much deeper than with mesotherapy. With this procedure, you can smooth out very deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds, as well as lift the corners of the mouth. The effect is noticeable literally in half an hour, but you will have to pay a lot for it. The cost of one syringe ranges from 100 to 200 euros, depending on the manufacturer. Such facial correction is determined individually for each woman. As a rule, the procedure is periodically repeated, since hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, which gradually dissolves and breaks down. Fillers remain under the skin from 6 months to 1.5 years. Everything depends on the quality and concentration of hyaluronic acid, as well as the intensity of metabolic processes in the woman's body. Mesotherapy is considered a safe procedure. After it, small bruises sometimes remain, but they quickly disappear. But contour plastic surgery is already a kind of art that requires certain skills and knowledge of anatomy from a specialist. After such an impact, large bruises may appear, even skin necrosis is possible. Incorrect placement of the filler leads to facial asymmetry. For contour plastic surgery, it is important to choose an experienced specialist in order to minimize all risks and get the desired result.
Alternative to injections
The most accessible cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid are creams. They are effective only with systematic use. You should not expect the same result from them as from injections, because the superficial layers of the skin serve to prevent anything from getting deep. Hyaluronic acid, which is part of the cream, fluid or serum, affects only the upper layer – the epidermis. With regular use, the skin becomes lighter, smoother, small expression wrinkles disappear. This effect lasts as long as the cosmetic product is used. If you stop applying the cream, the skin returns “to its original position” in two weeks. Mesotherapy, contour plastic surgery or cosmetics? Which of the three options to choose? The whole secret of success is to constantly take care of yourself. Creams with hyaluronic acid are the most accessible and harmless way to maintain beauty and prolong youth.
