What are the effects and side effects of hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a term that is often mentioned nowadays. It is actually a kind of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has many benefits to human skin, such as improving the skin's ability to retain water. In addition, many young people now have finer wrinkles on their faces. At this time, hyaluronic acid can be used to help solve the problem. However, the use of hyaluronic acid is very particular, and it is easy to cause side effects if used incorrectly.

Effects and side effects of hyaluronic acid:

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most well-known beauty products. It not only has strong moisturizing effects, but also has wrinkle-removing and skin-beautifying functions, and can also be used for filling and shaping. The reason why it is so beloved is that, unlike traditional plastic surgery, which involves bone cutting, it is not only painful but also has a long recovery period and extremely high risks. However, hyaluronic acid plastic surgery requires a short injection time and the effect is immediate. If you are not satisfied with something, you can restore it.

After talking about the effects, some people may ask, since hyaluronic acid is so powerful, does it have any side effects?

In fact, hyaluronic acid will generally cause temporary swelling, redness, and itching within a short period of time after injection, but this is all normal. Hyaluronic acid will be completely absorbed in the body in about 6-12 months and does not cause any harm to the body. Everyone's physical fitness and metabolic rate are different, so the specific maintenance time will also vary.

Hyaluronic acid itself has no effect on the body; its side effects come from injection techniques and dosage.

There are countless numbers of people who have failed in plastic surgery due to injections on the Internet. Facial paralysis caused by excessive injection volume, blood vessel blockage caused by improper injection techniques, etc. These are all bloody lessons. Therefore, when injecting hyaluronic acid, you must go to a regular hospital and choose a doctor with superb skills and many years of experience. Only in this way can we effectively avoid the side effects of hyaluronic acid injections.

Hyaluronic acid can only exert such a powerful effect when it exists inside the skin. That is, the higher the hyaluronic acid content in the body, the more supple the skin appears. This is also the reason why externally applied HA does not produce any "qualitative" change in the skin. More and more girls know how to inject hyaluronic acid to change problems such as dehydration, dullness, aging, and even plasticity, because the effect is more immediate.

Hyaluronic acid is divided into three basic categories: oral, topical and injection. As a professional in medical beauty, Brother Bird will mainly talk about the injection of hyaluronic acid today. After all, if you want the beauty brought by hyaluronic acid, you will have to go to the hospital to get a few injections. How can you do that without understanding the "enemy"? Don’t you all agree?

Extraction of HA

Here, I will introduce to you the four major methods of extracting hyaluronic acid, but one of them is still under development.

The first one: extract HA from animal tissues. What tissues? Hyaluronic acid is extracted from chicken combs, umbilical cords, vitreous humor, pig skin, etc. through a complex process of extraction, impurity removal, precipitation and graded separation. This method is expensive due to the rarity of the raw materials, and the average data is that a maximum of 2.4g of HA can be extracted from every 100g of vitreous humor (the tissue with the most hyaluronic acid), not to mention other tissues. Therefore, it is impossible to be widely and massively used in the field of skin care. If girls choose hyaluronic acid extracted by this method, they need to do a skin test. HA extracted from animal tissues has the property of causing skin allergies.
