Aging is a somewhat complex process. Although aging skin is an inevitability for those lucky enough to live a long life, premature aging is something that is not actually necessary. Hyaluronic acid fillers offer a safe and effective means of correcting fine lines and wrinkles that can leave you looking older than you actually feel.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a water-loving substance that occurs naturally within your own body. One of the leading causes of wrinkles is a loss of facial volume caused by a hyaluronic acid deficiency that develops when your body begins producing less of this important substance, and it begins breaking down more readily.
In order to understand the importance of hyaluronic acid in the maintenance of healthy, youthful skin, it’s important to first understand its role in the body. Hyaluronic acid is found in abundance in your eyes, joints, and skin. This special substance is like a magnet for water. It creates a gel-like texture that serves as a type of inner gel insert within your joints to cushion them from harsh impacts. In your skin, hyaluronic acid creates hydration and volume. Its age-related loss leads to thinner skin that is more susceptible to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
How Can a Filler Treatment Help You?
Although your natural hyaluronic acid levels may have fallen due to aging, we can help you restore them. We can add hyaluronic acid in the form of a type of gel that can be injected into your face to restore its levels back to when you were younger. Once injected, hyaluronic acid fillers soak up moisture and volumize your skin to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.
There are a great many hyaluronic acid fillers on the market, and each product is somewhat different in its hyaluronic acid concentration and other added ingredients. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers are known for offering long-lasting results that look very natural.
