Naturally present in the skin, HA is found in most tissues of the human body such as skin and cartilage. The average adult human body contains 7 to 8 g of HA, approximately half of which is found in the skin, where it plays a vital role in maintaining normal skin structure and function.



Skin components are collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Skin care treatments using collagen have existed for many years and the products offered are continuously improving. HA ( Hyaluronic Acid) is a natural substance that is plentiful in our bodies when we are born. HA occurs naturally in the deeper layers of our skin (the dermis). It helps to keep skin smooth and "plump" through its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. HA also supports the formation and maintenance of collagen, an important connective tissue. Collagen degradation is believed to cause a decrease in skin tone and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid gel can be injected into the skin to fill-up facial lines and wrinkles, or it can be used for lip enhancement.

Hylaform gel is a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid, very similar to that found naturally in the body. HA supplementation puts back in what is naturally lost to restore radiance and youth. HA occurs throughout the body in abundant amounts in many of the places people with hereditary connective tissue disorders have problems such as joints, heart valves and eyes. Hyaluronic acid abnormalities are a common thread in connective tissue disorders. HA makes up 80% of the human eye - it is present in the vitreous humor of the eye and assists in vision. HA is a shock absorber to the retina thus helping to prevent trauma to the eye. The effects of Hylaform injections last for about four to six months, at which point further treatment will be needed or the effects diminish.

Anti-aging products that use Hyaluronic Acid. Essential HA components to the cell level where it can work persuasive, whilst still moisturizing the skin and reducing wrinkles. Anti-aging providing moisture to the inner layers of the epidermis. Skin starts to lose its elasticity and lines and wrinkles appear. HA plays a critical role in the rapid repair of wounds and other skin conditions. It is due to the slowing down of cell mitosis, crucial aspect of alveolate repair and regeneration. There are two types of HA anti-aging products:

* Those that are applied externally in cream form

* Those that are taken as a health supplement and work internally, providing moisture to the inner layers of the epidermis. By reaching the corium layers of the epidermis, you penetrate, like no topical application is able to. This provides essential HA components to the cell level where it can work effectively, whilst still moisturizing the skin and reducing wrinkles.

Potential side effects

Side effects are mild in nature. The most common side effects include temporary redness, swelling and bruising that may last up to 3 to 5 days.

Immediate and long-lasting results up to 6 months for lines and folds, and 1 to 2 years for the mid-face have been achieved in clinical studies.
