For many, it is no longer news that hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in the human body. In fact, up to 50% of the total produced by our body is found in the connective tissue of our skin, including cartilage and joints.
And we are not surprised because for a couple of years this natural substance has become popular in the world of aesthetic medicine and facial care to such an extent that we have all heard of it to a greater or lesser extent … but do we really know the work this active ingredient does? antiaging so well known?
Its main function is to retain the water particles that accumulate in our body, being able to absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water, and that is why it is known to many for its sponge effect. It provides resistance to the skin and prevents expression lines, while in the outer layers of the epidermis its purpose is mainly to maintain hydration.
When we reach 25-30 years of age, our body is no longer able to produce the same levels of hyaluronic acid and it is then that the first signs of aging become visible on our skin. This explains why it is so important to apply preventive care when approaching this age.
There are methods and natural remedies that can help you increase the production of this natural substance in your body, such as the consumption of tubers and vegetables rich in magnesium or zinc.
Another crucial factor to consider is hydration: hyaluronic acid requires the presence of water in your body, which means that if you are dehydrated it will not be able to perform its rejuvenating functions.
The good news is that this gel substance can also be applied with micro-injections into the skin, which help to even out lost hyaluronic acid levels. And this is not only in the world of cosmetics and aesthetic medicine, but this natural substance is applied and used in many other situations.
Best of all, being a natural substance, the body is able to absorb and assimilate it as its own, so that the results after injection are as natural as possible.
