Hyaluronic acid, your best friend
Hyaluronic acid, a powerhouse against skin aging
Our bodies are made up of 80 percent water, and for that exact reason hyaluronic acid is so essential. Just 1 gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water. Because of this, hyaluronic acid has become a no-brainer when it comes to filling wrinkles and adding or enhancing volume in certain areas of the face.
Is hyaluronic acid safe?
Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, it is completely safe to use. Another added benefit is that our body naturally breaks it down. Hyaluronic acid fillers are gradually absorbed by the body over an average period of 6 to 9 months.
Quick dissolving of a filler
Why do fillers break down after 6 to 12 months?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is present in our body for a short period of time, within 4 days our body breaks down hyaluronic acid under the influence of certain enzymes.
To allow you to enjoy the benefits of the hyaluronic acid for longer, fillers are processed to make the product last longer. The manufacturer does this by adding so-called crosslinkers. This not only increases the lifespan but also the hardness of the filler for a greater ability to give volume and lift. The added crosslinkers block the access of the enzymes, which are out to dissolve the hyaluronic acid.
Unfortunately, adding crosslinkers doesn't just have advantages. Processing filler with crosslinkers can be harmful to our health in certain forms and certain quantities. Crosslinkers should therefore be added as little as possible. It is therefore very important that manufacturers use the correct, approved crosslinkers and in the right quantities.
We still hear people say that they feel fillers dissolve too quickly, but now you know there’s a reason for it.
