, **, are you curious why freeze-dried powder can maintain its magical effect for a long time? The answer is probably hidden in the "star ingredient"-hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin and has a strong ability to absorb water and moisturize. In freeze-dried powder, high concentrations of hyaluronic acid are locked in by freeze-drying technology. Moisture and activity allow it to be preserved in a dry and stable environment. When you use these restored freeze-dried powders, you can obtain significant cosmetic effects of efficiently replenishing water, improving skin quality, and smoothing fine lines. Understanding the core role of hyaluronic acid in freeze-dried powder can reveal the scientific secrets behind these beautiful products.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid, with the chemical name of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), is a high-molecular mucopolysaccharide naturally occurring in human skin, connective tissue and eyes. Its main function is to store water and maintain the moisture and elasticity of tissues. In the skin, hyaluronic acid can absorb hundreds of times its own weight of water, so it is known as the "natural moisturizer of the skin."

在医美领域，通过将高纯度的玻尿酸提取后制成注射产品，用于填充皱纹、丰唇、塑形等，这就是我们常说的“玻尿酸填充”。

How does hyaluronic acid work?

The reason why hyaluronic acid can become a filler is mainly due to its excellentwater-absorbentanda biocompatible。

1. water-absorbent: Hyaluronic acid contains a large number of hydrophilic groups in its molecular structure, which can absorb and lock in moisture, restoring fullness to skin or tissue.

2. a biocompatible: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. It will hardly cause rejection after injection and is highly safe.

3. reversibility: If you are not satisfied with the effect, you can dissolve hyaluronic acid by injecting a dissolving enzyme (such as hyaluronidase) to achieve "reversible filling".

Types and choices of hyaluronic acid

There are many types of hyaluronic acid products on the market, mainly based onmolecular weightandcrosslinking techniqueClassification:

1. molecular weight：

• Polymer hyaluronic acid: It is mainly used for deep filling, such as facial contour shaping (chin augmentation, nose augmentation), and it lasts for a long time.

• Medium-molecular hyaluronic acid: Suitable for moderate filling, such as filling of decree lines and tear grooves, and maintaining it for a moderate time.

• Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: Mainly used for filling lips and fine lines. It has soft texture, quick absorption and short maintenance time.

• The higher the degree of crosslinking, the stronger the stability of hyaluronic acid and the longer it lasts, but the texture may be hard.

• Products with a lower degree of crosslinking are softer and more natural and suitable for fine areas.

Common sites for hyaluronic acid injection

1. 面部填充：

• 隆鼻：改善鼻梁低平、鼻头塌陷等问题。

• Enriching chin: Improve chin contour and improve double chin.

• Lips: Expand lips and fade lip lines to create a full lip shape.

• Dharma lines, tear grooves: Filling can make facial lines smoother.

Effect and maintenance time of hyaluronic acid injection

The maintenance time of hyaluronic acid varies depending on factors such as product type, injection site, and personal constitution:

• short-term effects: Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid usually lasts for 3-6 months.

• medium-term effects: Medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid lasts for 6-12 months.

• long-term effects: High-molecular hyaluronic acid can last for 1-2 years or more.

It should be noted that as the number of injections increases, the maintenance time may gradually shorten.

Precautions for hyaluronic acid injection

1. Choose regular products: Be sure to choose regular hyaluronic acid products certified by the State Food and Drug Administration and avoid using "three no" products.

2. Choose a professional doctor: Hyaluronic acid injection is a medical activity and must be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon.

3. 术前沟通: Fully communicate with your doctor to clarify the injection site, dose and expected effect.

4. 术后护理：

• Avoid pressing or rubbing the injection site.

• Avoid strenuous exercise and high temperature environments (such as sauna, sun exposure).

• Avoid spicy stimulation and alcohol intake in your diet.

Side effects and risks of hyaluronic acid

Although hyaluronic acid is safe, the following side effects may still occur:

1. common reactions: Local redness, swelling, pain, and bruises after injection usually relieve within 1-3 days.

2. 过敏反应: Very few people are allergic to hyaluronic acid components, which manifest as rashes, itching, etc.

3. 感染风险: Improper operation or lax disinfection may lead to infection.

4. 血管栓塞: Misentering a blood vessel during injection may cause serious complications, which requires careful operation by the doctor.

The difference between hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin

很多人对玻尿酸和肉毒素混淆,其实两者是完全不同的产品：

• 玻尿酸: Filling products are mainly used to "fill" wrinkles and shape.

• 肉毒素: Relaxation products are mainly used to "relax" muscles and reduce dynamic wrinkles (such as head wrinkles).

The two can be used together for better results.

Common misunderstandings about hyaluronic acid injection

1. the more expensive the better

   Product prices are related to brand, purity, and cross-linking technology, but the more expensive the better, and need to be selected according to your own needs.

2. links was proposed

   Hyaluronic acid is a metabolizable substance that will be absorbed by the body over time and cannot be maintained permanently.

3. The effect was immediate after the injection

   Recovery takes a certain period of time after injection, and the effect usually gradually appears after 1-2 weeks.

As an "evergreen tree" in the medical beauty industry, hyaluronic acid has won the favor of many people who love beauty due to its safe, natural and reversible characteristics. Beauty is never achieved overnight. Choosing regular products, professional doctors, and scientific nursing is the key to achieving the ideal effect.
