Hyaluronic acid for the face: reviews of women and doctors

Recently, more and more popular are cosmetic products for the face, which include hyaluronic acid. It is added to all sorts of cosmetic products, such as a mask, balm, whey and, finally, a cream with hyaluronic acid. Reviews about such tools are more like a fairy tale than reality. So what's so special about this hyaluronic acid? And what is all her "magic"?

Features of the substance

In fact, hyaluronic acid is a special kind of polymer, mucopolysaccharide, which is contained in the human body. It is part of the connective and synovial tissues, found in the saliva, cartilage, bones and cornea of the eye. It is from hyaluronic acid that the quality of the joints depends, the strength of the bones and the sharpness of your vision. Therefore, in some cases doctors prescribe hyaluronic acid in tablets, the reviews of which are not always unambiguous.

Over time, polymer chains of hyaluronic acid molecules become shorter, which negatively affects the work of the whole organism as a whole. Particularly noticeable is the loss of hyaluronic acid in the skin. Being in deep layers of the epidermis, this substance keeps water molecules, which allows the skin to look soft, smooth and moist. One molecule of hyaluronic acid detains up to thousands of water molecules. As soon as the amount of acid begins to contract, the water leaves the body, and the skin begins to lose elasticity, becomes dry and flabby, wrinkles appear.

It is to stop moisture and prevent the appearance of the first age-related changes, cosmetologists are advised to use cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid in their composition.

Why is it needed?

Hyaluronic acid is most often used in age-related cosmetics designed for women over 30-35 years of age. On its basis, specialized creams and serums are produced, which should be used daily as primary care products. Despite the fact that in most cases, applied hyaluronic acid for the face, reviews about hand and foot creams are also mostly positive.

Cosmetics containing in its composition the substance in question, well removes inflammation, heals cuts and perfectly moisturizes the skin. Despite the fact that such funds are generally considered to be age-appropriate, there are products suitable for young skin. They help to heal pimples, have a powerful regenerating effect.

Application Features

Many women unreasonably believe that virtually all means aimed at maintaining skin tone have a similar effect, and therefore the way of their application is always the same. In fact, not everything is so straightforward. For example, collagen and hyaluronic acid, reviews of which contain similar information, have a completely different principle of action. And if the first tool is simply enough to distribute the skin, the second often requires a special approach.

Since hyaluronic acid is needed in order to retain moisture in the deep layers of the epidermis, the application of serum or cream can only be applied to damp skin. It is best to wipe the face with a toner or lotion before use, in the extreme case you can wash with plain water. The main thing that hyaluronic acid was where to "pull out" the liquid. Otherwise, you can achieve the opposite effect, having received instead of smooth and moisturized overdried skin.

Cosmetics with hyaluronic acid: reviews

As already mentioned, the substance in question is contained in a variety of different cosmetic products. Of particular popularity in recent years are gaining some lines of Korean cosmetics, which include this ingredient.

Among the medicines, "Libibridm" with hyaluronic acid is very popular. Reviews about it can be found both on the websites of pharmacy chains, and at numerous women's forums. The second product with a similar principle of action can be considered a drug "Merz" with hyaluronic acid (reviews also indicate its effectiveness). The concentration of hyaluronic acid in practically all the lines of chemist's cosmetics is very high, which indicates its direct effect on the skin. It is not recommended to use such remedies without special need.

If you do not want to eliminate age-related changes, but only to find a means that promotes quality hydration, then it's worth turning to Korean brands. "Tony Moli", "Mizon", "Holika Holik" and other Asian companies have filled the market with a number of cosmetic rulers containing products with hyaluronic acid, suitable for both mature and young skin. The special love of women from all over the world was earned by serums and masks. In this form, hyaluronic acid for the face, expert reviews assure, is best penetrated and absorbed in the deep layers of the skin. This is a very effective tool.

Another fashionable Asian novelty is the hyaluronic acid gel , the reviews of which are beginning to appear on the Internet. This agent has a lighter structure than a regular cream or lotion, absorbs faster, leaves no residue and can be applied locally.

Use in plastic surgery

In addition to the use of special cosmetic products at home, many women use intradermal injections to preserve the beauty and youth of the covers. And although hyaluronic acid now enjoys well-deserved love from numerous cosmetology concerns, it was originally created specifically for use in plastic surgery. Due to its natural composition, this substance is easily absorbed by the body, does not cause allergic reactions and rejection. Serums and gels based on acid are used to increase and change the shape of the lips, nose and face. On the nasolabial folds of hyaluronic acid, the reviews confirm this, it also has a beneficial effect, smoothing out wrinkles and tightening the skin.

This method of eliminating small flaws in appearance is becoming increasingly popular both in Russia and abroad. It is used not only by ordinary users, but also by stars of the first magnitude - Sharon Stone, Angelina Jolie and other public people. Hyaluronic acid - reviews, photo and video reports are excellent proof - copes well with all sorts of problems.

Most often in plastic surgery, hyaluronic acid is used in the form of serum or gel, which comes under the skin with the help of point microinjection. Those who decided on a similar procedure, it is worth remembering a few important things. First, do not trust your face with the first specialist you meet. Before you lie down on the medical table, you should carefully examine the reviews of all past clients of the clinic and see the photos of the master's works. Secondly, in order not to infect the infection during the operation itself, it is recommended to monitor the purity of the medical instruments. All injections are done only with new syringes, and the ampoule with the helium solution should be sealed and opened only in your presence. If after some time after the operation you feel discomfort or notice the appearance of an allergic reaction, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Fighting wrinkles

Additional introduction to the skin of hyaluronic acid is able to slow aging, activate regeneration, i.e. The process of cell division and renewal. After such procedures, the skin becomes more even, smooth, as if saturated with moisture from the inside. The superficial wrinkles disappear, and the deep folds become less pronounced. There are several types of procedures with hyaluronic acid, among which there are:

• Mesotherapy.
• Bioarmification.
• Hyaluronoplasty.

Mesotherapy, or biorevitalization of the face, is a multiple microinjection of a special substance created on the basis of hyaluronic acid, used to rejuvenate the skin. The purpose of this procedure is to moisturize and restore the elasticity of the covers. After a full course of injections, the dermal relief is leveled, wrinkles decrease, skin flabbiness and hyperpigmentation disappear.

Reinforcement is another well-known procedure with hyaluronic acid. Its main difference from reinforcement with gold threads is that in the latter case, the skin is allegedly stretched on a special frame, which prevents the appearance of wrinkles and wrinkles. In the first case, a special drug is injected into the subcutaneous layers with the help of a rather painful injection. Hyaluronic acid for the face (reviews of doctors include this information) in this case creates a kind of grid of lines that run along and perpendicular to skin tension. Being in the deep layers of the dermis, this grid stimulates the production of the body's own proteins - elastin and collagen, which are responsible for the elasticity and elasticity of tissues. In addition, hyaluronic acid groups around itself water molecules. Gradually, the skin becomes more elastic and taut.

The effect of this procedure increases over a period of 24 months and can persist for up to two years. Since facial hydration with hyaluronic acid not only supports the skin in tone, but also stimulates it to develop its own "internal framework," this procedure is considered an excellent alternative to surgical intervention. Such hyaluronic acid for the face, doctors' testimonials testify to this, does not cause complications and is suitable for almost all women. Negative reactions to this substance are extremely rare.

Nasolabial folds of hyaluronic acid (the reviews confirm this) are also smoothed by non-invasive methods. Such hardware procedures, which are performed without injections, are called face hyaluronoplasty. In this case, a special gel is applied to the skin, which, through the action of a laser, ultrasound or aquaphoresis penetrates into the deepest layers of the epidermis.

This procedure gives better results than conventional injections. This is because the serum with hyaluronic acid (the reviews prove it) is applied in a more relaxed atmosphere. The patient is not clamped during the procedure, but lies in a relaxed state, which makes it possible to carry out the skin treatment as carefully and accurately as possible.

After such an operation, there are no traces left, the skin instantly assumes a healthy and fit appearance, no additional recovery time is required. The course consists of about six to eight procedures, after which only a monthly visit to the clinic is required to maintain the effect.

Lip augmentation

Hyaluronic acid is used not only to maintain youthfulness and beauty of the skin, but also for a variety of other plastic surgeries. With the help of injections of this substance, you can change the face oval, fix the shape of the nose, and highlight the cheekbones. Since this acid is already present in the human body, the introduction of drugs on its basis does not cause rejection. The funds are easily absorbed and take the necessary forms. In addition, if using silicone fillers to change the result can be already only surgically, then hyaluronic acid itself gradually dissolves and is eliminated from the body.

Lips after hyaluronic acid, doctors' reviews are proof of this, they become more plump and voluminous. Before embarking on the operation itself, an experienced cosmetician must help determine the amount of gel to be injected, the desired form of future lips, and the cost of the entire operation. The procedure itself takes no more than 1.5-2 hours of time and does not require an additional recovery period. After it is held for two to three days, do not take hot food, smoke and kiss. To fix the result in some cases, a second visit to the cosmetologist is required in a half to two weeks.

The result of liposuction is based on hyaluronic acid for 6 to 12 months, which is another reason why this procedure is considered more sparing than other analogues. In case of failure to correct or completely change the shape of the lips will not be so problematic.

Home Use

Despite the fact that hyaluronic acid for the face (reviews indicate this) works best in the form of subcutaneous injections, you can get smooth and moistened covers at home. As already noted, there are many cosmetic companies that produce funds with this component.

The most effective and relatively cheap product for the restoration of natural protection and water balance of the skin is the Korean tissue mask with hyaluronic acid, the reviews of which literally exploded the Internet. Such a tool is in all the lines of Korean cosmetics, and the cost of one package can vary from 50 to 500 rubles.

Another way to tighten tired skin at home is hyaluronic acid in tablets. Reviews about this can not always be called unambiguous, but the result from such a tool is considered more prolonged than from creams, serums and masks.

If all kinds of gels and tablets do not cause much confidence, then return the skin to the old youth and beauty will help home recipes. Since hyaluronic acid is found in the connective tissues of animals (such as tendons and cartilages), with regular consumption of cold or meat jelly, very good results can be achieved.

Contraindications to use

Since hyaluronic acid is an important component of any living organism, there are no special contraindications to its use. It does not cause acute allergic reactions, is well absorbed by the body, and its excess is easily eliminated naturally.

An obstacle to the use of acid can serve only serious autoimmune diseases and disorders in the mechanism of homeostasis. It is also not recommended to use this product during pregnancy and lactation. Another contraindication to the use of acid for the face can serve as infectious diseases and serious disorders of the skin (burns, deep cuts and abrasions).

If we talk about the use of this substance in plastic surgery, then allergic reactions can have completely different reasons. So, hyaluronic acid for the eyes, the reviews note, can cause edema and other reactions due to improper storage and application of the gel.

In other cases, after face hyaluronoplasty, there are no risks whatsoever, long rehabilitation is not required, and the result is always predictable and successful. That is why Russian clinics offer a range of different procedures using hyaluronic acid. Its ubiquitous application helps to gradually move away from injections of Botox and silicone fillers, which in reality are the strongest toxins that cause allergic reactions and lead to unpredictable results.

Pros and cons

Pages of forums on the Internet are full of reviews about cosmetic procedures and preparations with hyaluronic acid. Reviews of professional cosmetologists, as well as ordinary ordinary users, are not always unambiguous. Let's try to understand what claims usually express to this tool.

If we talk about hyaluronic acid, which is used for plastic surgery, then most of the reviews are positive. Cosmetologists note the safety and hypoallergenicity of the procedure, and women talk about its effectiveness. Among the minuses are the high cost of services and the fragility of the result.

As for cosmetic products intended for daily skin care, here positive and negative reviews are divided equally. The same cream with hyaluronic acid, reviews about which on one site are positive, can cause a storm of resentment on another resource. Many customers note that the result of using the same remedy for different women can be absolutely unpredictable. It is necessary to emphasize separately that the problem sometimes consists also in incorrect application of a cosmetic.

The opinion of doctors regarding the means with hyaluronic acid is also ambiguous. Specialists say that using such cosmetics should be very cautious. With a large intake of acid from the outside, natural mechanisms of production of this substance may suffer. Then, after stopping the intake of hyaluronic acid, the skin on the face is noticeably spoiled.
