Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is an organic substance found in the human body. There are high concentrations of hyaluronic acid in soft connective tissues and in the fluid surrounding the eyes as well as in some cartilage and joint fluids and skin tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a popular injection filler. People with arthritis experience pain relief when a doctor injects hyaluronic acid into aching joints. Brand names of hyaluronic acid are Captique, Esthélis, Elevess, Hylaform, Juvéderm, Perlane, Prevelle, Puragen and Restylane. Hyaluronic acid does not come from animals. Hyaluronic acid acts like an inflated cushion to support facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume or elasticity due to aging. It also brings water to the surface of skin to keep it looking fresh and supple. In the last few decades, scientists developed various synthetic forms of hyaluronic acid used to correct disorders in the fields of rheumatology, ophthalmology and wound repair. More recently, doctors are using synthetic forms of hyaluronic acid in face augmentation procedures.
