What is hyaluronic acid?
Is HA a natural substance?
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan component of the extracellular tissue of various human organs, present with the same composition in all living beings.
It is a polysaccharide found naturally in the dermis or skin, connective tissue and in synovial fluid.
The body of an adult individual has about 15 gm of hyaluronic acid, of which approximately 50% is located in the skin. Due to its viscoelastic properties, it’s the main substance found in the dermis.
It is therefore extremely compatible. Its ability to draw water assists in the hydration of the skin as well as provide tissue turgor.
Are the results permanent?
The beauty of these products is that they are resorbable, meaning that they are degraded by your own body over time and are therefore temporary.
Consequently, as you age and your face and tastes change, filler injections can be adapted to your needs.
Can you reject HA fillers?
It is possible to have an adverse reaction to any injectable. The beauty of HA fillers is that they are temporary and are dissolvable with an enzyme called hyaluronidase should the need arise.
Unlike permanent fillers, with HA fillers there’s no danger to having a permanent product in your face that your body can read as a foreign object and try to reject by creating lumps, which would require surgical removal.
