Not just for the face? Five exciting facts about hyaluronic acid

Many myths and rumors have surrounded the popular anti-aging agent hyaluronic acid for some time. Can this just smooth out wrinkles on the face? And is it really healthier for the body than the classic beauty Botox? Specialist Lisa Schultes from HNOmedic has about five surprising facts in an interview with the news agency spot on news.

Not as harmless as it sounds

“Most patients think that an injection of hyaluronic acid has no risks. However, this is wrong. During the injection, serious complications can occur. If it is injected incorrectly, for example into a container, this container can become blocked and this can lead to in decreased blood flow or death of the affected area.”

Something stays!

“Even if the injected hyaluronic acid is degraded over time by the body’s own enzymes, there are always small remnants, especially after repeated treatment due to teeth. For example, remnants of the material can still be found years after nose surgery if a rhinoplasty has been performed before hyaluronic acid fillers have been performed”.

Hyaluron binds water!

“You can take advantage of this property. After a hyaluronic acid treatment, you should always make sure to drink enough fluids, as this can increase the severity and duration of the effect.”

Not just something for the face

“The most well-known is probably the use of hyaluronic acid fillers to increase the volume of the lips and cheeks. But these fillers can do much more. Unbound or slightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid can also be used in other parts of the body, such as the backs of the hands or the neck, so that large areas are covered here to soften surface wrinkles.”

Not suitable for everyone

“Not everyone is suitable for a treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers. The injection leads to an increase in volume, but if the skin above it is already very pale, it may happen that the filler does not stay in place and a cosmetic result is not attractive due to the downfall The result is established. We therefore recommend that you seek detailed advice before treatment.”
