The effects and hazards of hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is currently the most common cosmetic filler. Many beauty salons recommend that people inject hyaluronic acid because it makes people look more beautiful after injection. Hyaluronic acid can modify and improve the facial features of the human body to a certain extent, and is often used on the bridge of the nose and chin. However, before injecting hyaluronic acid, you must understand whether the injection institution is formal and whether it has disinfection equipment. Let’s take a closer look at the effects and hazards of hyaluronic acid.

The main function of hyaluronic acid

Increase skin elasticity

Oral hyaluronic acid means that you can take an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid while supplementing collagen through food. After washing, hyaluronic acid will increase the absorption and utilization rate of collagen, increase the synthesis of collagen under the skin, and increase skin elasticity.

Moisture Retention and Locking

Hyaluronic acid is used in a large number of cosmetics. Although the content is limited, its moisture-locking function still exists. Hyaluronic acid molecules are small and some of them can penetrate into the skin, increasing the skin's ability to lock in moisture.

Injection application

The injection of hyaluronic acid was initially used mainly for breast augmentation, but in recent years it has been used more for removing wrinkles, plumping lips, rhinoplasty, forehead augmentation, filling dents, etc.

Of course, hyaluronic acid can also be used externally. It is suitable for dull, rough, lusterless, and pigmented skin.

The dangers of hyaluronic acid injection

Injecting hyaluronic acid can make the skin reach a very good state, thereby increasing inner self-confidence, but the hyaluronic acid that is popular in the beauty industry is banned by the State Food and Drug Administration and is also harmful to the body:

1. There are risks.

Although hyaluronic acid injections do not require surgical intervention, the effects vary from person to person due to different skin types and ages. As a micro-plastic surgery, injecting hyaluronic acid also has the risk of failure, so it must be done with caution.

2. Dependency

Hyaluronic acid has the magical effect of making people beautiful and restoring youth, but because people are always dissatisfied, long-term injections of hyaluronic acid will create a serious sense of dependence. They will no longer be able to accept their original imperfect selves, so they will become more and more obsessed and unable to extricate themselves.

3. It is difficult to distinguish true from false

Due to the popularity of hyaluronic acid, many people outside the industry are not familiar with the composition and form of hyaluronic acid. It is easy to believe other people's sweet words and ruin your skin. There are many unlicensed or privately run beauty salons on the market that offer hyaluronic acid injections, but in fact, we have no way of knowing how they obtain hyaluronic acid, so we must be cautious.
