What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid — also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate — is a gooey, slippery substance that your body produces naturally. Scientists have found hyaluronic acid throughout the body, especially in eyes, joints and skin.

How Hyaluronic acid is made?

Hyaluronic acid is often produced by fermenting certain types of bacteria. Rooster combs (the red, Mohawk-like growth on top of a rooster’s head and face) are also a common source.

What Is the treatment with Hyaluronic acid (fillers)?

Treatment with Hyaluronic acid is a type of non-surgical cosmetic procedure. Hyaluronic acid plumps up wrinkles, smooth lines and restore volume in your face. The Oculoplastic specialist injects these substances just under your skin.

People choose to get treatment with Hyaluronic acid to enhance their facial features or gain a more youthful appearance. This elective treatment usually takes less than half an hour, and recovery time is minimal. Results are seen right away and last months.

Why is used the treatment with Hyaluronic acid?

As you age, your body starts to lose collagen. Collagen is an important substance that exists all over your body, including in your skin, muscles, bones and connective tissues. Decreased amounts of collagen in your skin causes skin laxity (loose) and loss of volume. Skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity and starts to sag.
