What is Hyaluronic Acid

When it comes to hyaluronic acid, you may not know much about it, but if you are a person who pays attention to beauty and the plastic surgery industry, then you will definitely know that hyaluronic acid is actually one of the best beauty products. In fact, many celebrities also have their own beauty secrets through hyaluronic acid. In the eyes of many people, hyaluronic acid is the spokesperson for beauty.

Hyaluronic acid is only used for moisturizing and has been included in the ranks of wrinkle-removing plastic surgery materials. This plastic surgery technology uses non-animal stable hyaluronic acid cultivated by bacterial fermentation. By injecting hyaluronic acid as a filler into the dermis wrinkles and depressions, or areas that you want to plump up, it can achieve the effect of removing wrinkles and modifying the face. It can immediately remove wrinkles and change your appearance. Hyaluronic acid originally exists in the dermis of human skin in a colloidal form. It is responsible for storing moisture, increasing skin volume, and making the skin look plump, rich, and elastic. However, hyaluronic acid disappears with age, causing the skin to lose its ability to store water, gradually becoming dull and aged, and forming fine wrinkles. Thanks to the advancement of biotechnology, hyaluronic acid can be extracted from the connective tissue of vertebrates, such as combs, eyeballs, umbilical cords, cartilage, etc. In the past, hyaluronic acid was mostly extracted from animals, but now it is artificially synthesized to eliminate problems such as allergies and infections.

With the development of technology, hyaluronic acid is no longer just for injection and filling, and topical hyaluronic acid has been developed. This topical hyaluronic acid contains beauty ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, SOD, and cell growth factor particles. The users are no longer just those who want to remove wrinkles and enlarge their breasts. The users of topical hyaluronic acid can be those who love beauty, such as those with dark, rough, dull skin, wrinkles, and spots on their faces. In general, although topical hyaluronic acid has lost the cosmetic effect of traditional hyaluronic acid breast augmentation, it is suitable for more people.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the components of human dermis.

3 NotesEdit Usage

General hyaluronic acid stock skin care products provide a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and need to be used with toner or essence. When the skin is dry, if hyaluronic acid is used alone, it will not have a direct moisturizing effect. In fact, hyaluronic acid may absorb a large amount of moisture from the skin, which may make the skin drier after use.

So the correct way to use it is: after washing your face in the morning and evening, just apply the mixed hyaluronic acid product on your face, and then apply a moisturizing cream to lock in moisture. This will be more effective.

In the early 1980s, hyaluronic acid was applied to the skin to absorb a large amount of moisture. Regardless of humidity, climate, environment, or skin type, it has the same high water retention capacity. Therefore, for extremely dry skin or aging skin that is severely dehydrated, hyaluronic acid is an ideal and gentle moisturizing ingredient.

Injection precautions

1) Precautions before injection:

Before treatment, please keep your skin clean and remove any makeup and skin care products. It is recommended to use cleanser and astringent to cleanse the skin. Use cool water to cleanse so that the pores are closed. Patients are strongly advised not to take anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin) at least 3-4 days before treatment, as they may aggravate bleeding and swelling at the injection site.

2) Precautions after injection:

After the injection treatment, please keep your face relaxed and avoid making excessive facial expressions. Please avoid exposure to high heat environments (such as saunas, etc.) for at least two weeks after treatment, as this may cause the hyaluronic acid injected into the face to be quickly decomposed, thereby shortening the filling effect. Do not touch or massage the injection site.

3) Adverse reactions:

Inflammatory reactions may occur on the skin, usually accompanied by pain upon pressing, which may last for about a week. There may also be temporary swelling at the injection site. If any adverse reactions persist, please notify the injecting physician immediately.

4) Contraindications:

There is a high risk of swelling or bleeding if this product is injected in pregnant or lactating women, patients under the age of 18, people with locally inflamed or infected skin, or those taking anticoagulants. For example, taking aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is recommended that doctors ask patients whether they are allergic to hyaluronic acid and their medical history before injection.

True or false identification

Injection wrinkle removal is a medical beauty project, and beauty salons do not have the qualifications to provide injections. However, some unscrupulous businesses, driven by profit, still open injection projects even though they are not qualified. In order to maximize their profits, they use counterfeit and shoddy products to impersonate approved regular products, causing great physical pain and mental stress to consumers. The CCTV television platform calls on everyone to treat injectable beauty scientifically, and teaches everyone on the spot several simple and convenient methods to distinguish between real and fake hyaluronic acid: First, look at the packaging. Many counterfeit hyaluronic acid packaging is very irregular. Some are produced in Italy, some are produced in France, and the origins are varied. In fact, there are only three types of hyaluronic acid approved by China: one is Yiwan, one is Restylane, and the other is Yimei. If consumers are not sure about packaging identification, there is another way, which is to log on to the website of the State Food and Drug Administration and check the product batch number. Hyaluronic acid introduced through formal channels is registered on the website, so you can find out with a simple check. Secondly, looking at the solvent state, the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid is very small and it is water-based. It feels very delicate when rubbed and slowly becomes clean and disappears after rubbing a few times. However, the particles of Amazing are obviously larger and jelly-like, and it is difficult to disappear quickly after solidification. Silicone is an oily agent and feels oily when rubbed. Finally, look at the size of the needle. The molecular weight of silicone oil is very large, so its needle is very thick. If the needle is too thin, the silicone oil cannot be pushed out; and the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid is very small, so the needle used is also very small.

There are generally five types of micro-plastic surgery injectable filling materials sold on the market that are easily confused with hyaluronic acid, including: Amazing (or Ingelfar), silicone oil, paraffin oil, cellulose, and collagen. There is a simple way to identify Amazing - some "hyaluronic acid" containing Amazing is mostly sold in beauty salons and some unqualified plastic surgeons bring their own products to beauty salons to inject into the customers. One gets an injection in a beauty salon, and the temporal area shows swelling after the injection, which is a symptom of Amazing. The streets are full of fake hyaluronic acid and collagen, and the criminals have won the favor of some low-spending beauty seekers with low prices, but they are deceived. So good identification is needed. Identification steps:

Step 1: Squeeze a drop of gel from the syringe and place it on a piece of white paper. If there is oil infiltration and diffusion, then this thing is definitely not hyaluronic acid, it must be silicone oil, or paraffin oil or something like that. This material is something that is clearly prohibited from use by law.

Step 2: If a water infiltration halo is formed and diffuses, it may be hyaluronic acid, Amazing (or Ingelfar), cellulose or collagen. At this time, further identification is needed! The identification method is: take a drop of hyaluronic acid and place it on the left palm, then touch it repeatedly with the index finger of your right hand. After a few minutes, when most of the water has evaporated, you can feel it with your fingers or observe it with the naked eye. You can see that there are sand-like crystal particles in the remaining residue. There is nothing else. This is cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which can be basically confirmed to be real hyaluronic acid and can be used.

The third identification method: Place the extruded product on a flat glass plate and observe it the next day. As a result, after the water evaporated overnight, the tangible components remaining on the glass plate were analyzed. If these residues are visible components, like piled-up "ice sand" particles, they must be hyaluronic acid. If it is a "rice-crusted, opaque scab, it is usually omeprazole; if it is a soft, light yellow film, it is usually cellulose. If it is a non-volatile oil, it must be silicone oil or paraffin oil. If nothing remains in the end, it is likely to be non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid!

The fourth identification method: To identify whether the solid component is hyaluronic acid, you can use the enzymatic hydrolysis experiment method. The procedure is: place the solid particles into a container containing hyaluronidase in a 45-degree constant temperature water bath. Generally, the solid particles can be degraded in about 2 hours. If it doesn't degrade, it's definitely not hyaluronic acid.

Target Group

Low nose: The nose bridge is low and flat, and the whole face lacks three-dimensionality.

Saddle nose: The bridge of the nose and cartilage are mostly concave, and the nose tip is upward, shaped like a saddle.

Straight nose: The height of the nose bridge is acceptable, but the shape is straight and lacks the proper tapered feeling.

Wavy nose: The central axis of the nasal dorsum is not complete and smooth.

Nostril lying horizontally: The nostril is in the shape of "八", and the nose wings are wide and flat.

Drooping nose: The nose tip is drooping, and the highest point of the nose is located on the dorsum of the nose.

Low nose root: Low nose root, short nose body, disproportionate nose

The above is a brief introduction to hyaluronic acid. To put it bluntly, hyaluronic acid is actually a beauty product. However, whether this beauty product is effective or not depends on how you use it. If the experts are sure, it can be said that this is a very good way for you to get the best beauty.
