The fine art of hyaluronic acid

It’s the word on everyone’s lips. Hyaluronic acid, a sugar synthesized by the body, has become the alpha and omega of the beauty industry due to its anti-aging benefits for the skin. Long used in traditional medicine (ophthalmology, urology, general medicine, etc.), it is now at the heart of the formidable technologies that have made BioScience GmbH internationally known, particularly with the launch of HYAcorp in 2006.

From body to science

Although hyaluronic acid is completely natural, it only remains in human body tissues for a short time due to free radical enzymatic degradation and metabolism. Hyaluronic acid is artificially modified by cross-linking to form a polymeric hydrogel that is more resistant to degradation and biocompatible. “The body accepts it as part of itself, unlike silicone or other foreign substances.explains D^r: Anthony Calmon. From a synthetic and chemical point of view, the doctor notes that artificial hyaluronic acid, in the form of a gel used in injections, will have different viscoelastic properties, depending on the application you want to get.

Extremely liquid, it is used in mesotherapy to moisturize the skin. Slightly denser, it acts similarly skin booster In subcutaneous microinjections, it will be possible to sculpt fixed areas, such as the chin and cheekbones, while maintaining some flexibility to follow facial expressions, while still being very firm. Naturally moisturizing hyaluronic acid also has plumping properties on the buttocks or calves, and rejuvenating properties on the hands, for example.

Precautionary principles

A medical procedure on its own, hyaluronic acid injections, however, require some precautions to use, of which BioScience is a valuable relay for healthcare professionals. So as D advises^r: Antoni Calmo, it is important to ask what type of hyaluronic acid is being used and note the desired result, without hesitating to ask the practitioner as many questions as possible to ensure the desired effect. The product used must have the CE mark, as this guarantees sterilization and traceability in accordance with European legislation through the many controls required for its marketing… Choose your doctor carefully, checking that he works with an experienced doctor (and not a cosmetologist or cosmetologist from): esthetician), registered with the Council of the Order, having an excellent knowledge of anatomy and trained in the use of the product.

The doctor should give as much information as possible to the patient, warn him about possible side effects after treatment or even study his condition and his medical history. He must also respect the rules of hygiene and asepsis during the intervention and monitor the patient downstream for several weeks. Finally, in case to touch (retouch), certain precautions must be taken in terms of the time and quantity of injected product (which must remain minimal) to achieve the desired result and minimize the risks. Your doctor will be able to refer you. “For example, it is absolutely inadvisable to inject more than the maximum amount recommended by the laboratory in one to fifteen days.”confirmed by D^r: Anthony Calmon. Patience, then… and caution.
