The use ofhyaluronic acid is wide and well known, we hear a lot about it, especially in the field of aesthetic medicine and anti-ageing products . So let's see what it is and what its many uses are.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that has a dual use: medical and aesthetic. At the aesthetic level, it can be used to correct wrinkles, crow's feet, sagging skin and other aesthetic imperfections. On a medical level, it can stimulate tissue regeneration and act as a cushion for joints.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the human body. It is found in high concentrations, especially in the fluids of the eyes and bones, and its purpose is tomoisturise and protect tissues. It is precisely this that gives our skin elasticity and resistance and keeps it moisturised and protected. unfortunately, hyaluronic acid tends to diminish with age, as it is prone to disappear with age, which is why blemishes and wrinkles begin to appear as we get older.It is no coincidence that it is found in many treatments for the skin and against its ageing. Moreover, the fact that it is almost free of contraindications increases its usefulness.

On an aesthetic level, hyaluronic acid has excellent properties that can be used to correct various types of blemishes and improve appearance.

Hyaluronic acid fillers on the face, precisely because of this substance's ability to moisturise and keep tissues elastic, are used in aesthetic medicine for subcutaneous infiltrations. In particular, to fill in wrinkles, raise cheekbones and make thin lips plumper. However, we must emphasise that the effects are not permanent and, in the long run, the product is reabsorbed.

Hyaluronic acid can also be used forbreast augmentation. In this case it has advantages over cosmetic surgery. Breast augmentation, in fact, is still an invasive operation, whereas the filler allows breast augmentation without surgery and with a more natural result. In this case too, hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body over time, and a new injection is then required.

In addition to correcting and 'smoothing' wrinkles, hyaluronic acid is also able to improve the quality of the skin in the case of both scars and dry skin. Thanks to its particularly moisturising effects, it is, for instance, very suitable during the summer months when, with the sun, the skin tends to lose moisture.

As we said at the beginning, hyaluronic acid is also used, with good results, to treat medical problems. For example, it is used, in the form of infiltrations, to treat arthrosis to alleviate pain and increase mobility.

Hyaluronic acid, besides in the form of injections and fillers to be done at specialised medical practices, is also found in other forms: creams, serums, supplements and even drinking hyaluronic acid.
