But, regardless of the fact that you can find it in almost every product, in creams, serums, face masks, milk and body lotions, and even in hair shampoo, there is an important difference that you should know before you decide on the product or an aesthetic treatment to give your skin the best solution that gives maximum results – a natural look, radiant skin without signs of aging and a flawless, radiant complexion.

If you want beautiful, healthy, radiant, toned, rejuvenated and supple skin, hyaluronic acid and hyaluronic acid are an indispensable ingredient, so we want to tell you why. That is, how does hyaluronic work, what is it used for, what is the difference between hyaluronic acid in facial care products and hyaluronic fillers and which hyaluronic really “does” its job.

It’s time to get the most out of your skin and get it in the best condition ever! And it all starts with the right information about the ingredients, then adequate home care with products that suit your skin type and needs, and then professional treatments with hyaluronic fillers that erase the years and restore the natural, rejuvenated look you love every day when you look in the mirror! So let’s start!

Hyaluron (hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic fillers) is a natural substance present in our body. We can vividly imagine hyaluronan as a sponge that absorbs water, since only 1 g of hyaluronan binds an incredible 6 liters of water. Consequently, as you can guess, the key role of hyaluronan is in the hydration of our body, especially the skin. But the story doesn’t end there, not only does hyaluronan bind a large amount of water in our skin, it creates an invisible, protective film applied to the surface of the skin that prevents water from evaporating from our skin, i.e. dehydration and dryness of the skin. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, the skin looks hydrated, plump and healthy.

In addition to hydration, hyaluronic acid achieves other beneficial effects for our skin. Hyaluron reduces inflammation, and since according to new studies chronic and mild inflammation is responsible for accelerated aging, hyaluron is a valuable substance for preserving youthful skin. They sound great, don’t they? And now add to all the benefits of hyaluronan and its role in stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin, as well as the ability to stimulate skin renewal. We believe that you now better understand why hyaluronan is called a magical substance in aesthetic medicine.

Although today we will talk about the beneficial effects of hyaluronan on the skin, we cannot leave out its important role in our body. Hyaluron is a key substance in our joints, so its replacement eliminates pain and increases mobility. Hyaluron also has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, where taken in the form of a drink, it relieves heartburn and reflux disease. It is important to mention the beneficial effect of hyaluronic acid application in dry eye, wound healing, bladder disease, etc.

As we have already mentioned, hyaluronic acid is an integral part of our skin, and collagen, elastin and hyaluronan are the most responsible for its healthy, radiant, firm and toned appearance, in addition to other cellular segments. These three substances make our skin elastic, tight, hydrated and smooth, without wrinkles, lost volume or freshness.
Hyaluronic acid plays a key role, because it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin within the skin. However, the amount of hyaluronan, as well as collagen and elastin, begins to decrease already after the age of twenty-five.

Through this process, our skin loses its elasticity, moisture, smoothness and radiance, first fine lines appear around the eyes, around the lips ( nasolabial folds), wrinkles on the forehead and over time they become longer, deeper and more noticeable. The skin loses its tone and volume and begins to “hang”, the dark circles become more pronounced and sunken, and the lips become thinner.

That’s why it’s very important to replace the disappearing hyaluronan, in order to slow down aging and keep the skin looking youthful.

Depending on whether hyaluronic is applied to the face in the form of a cream/serum or as part of professional treatments when hyaluronic fillers are injected, the effects also differ. Hyaluron applied to the skin attracts water molecules, hydrates the skin and restores volume to thin and dry skin. However, regular use of local products with an adequate concentration of hyaluronic acid, in addition to hydration, also contributes to skin rejuvenation and reducing the visibility of fine lines. As we have already mentioned, the anti-aging effect of hyaluronan is achieved by reducing inflammation, hydration and stimulation of the collagen synthesis process.

When it comes to treatments with hyaluronic fillers, hyaluronic is applied directly to wrinkles, fills them, and thanks to its regenerative properties, restores the skin and slows down aging. With hyaluronic fillers, we can compensate for volume in areas where it disappears with aging, such as the cheekbones, the part of the cheeks around the dark circles and the tear troughs. In this way, we restore the rested and young appearance of the facial skin with hyaluronan. Hyaluronic treatments have many other benefits, and you can read more about them here.

This is a very common question that young girls ask us, because it is believed that hyaluronic acid is intended for more mature skin as an anti-aging ingredient. But, as you can conclude yourself from our text so far – we have hyaluronan inside our body from birth, but we lose it as we age, so its replacement is necessary already after the age of twenty-five, especially if dry skin is involved.

Hyaluron-based creams or serums are the best way to keep your skin hydrated, elastic and fresh for as long as possible.

There are several different hyaluronic acids. Hyaluron of large and small molecules. The difference is that the large molecules reach the surface layer of the skin and collect water just below the surface and create an invisible protective film that prevents water from evaporating, which together gives the skin a clear appearance. Thanks to their size, small molecules have the ability to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, in places where wrinkles and aging occur, reduce the depth of wrinkles, renew the skin and slow down aging.

Conclusion: It is very important that when choosing skin care products, you choose those that have both molecules in order to provide your skin with complete hydration, both superficially and deeply! Pay attention to the labels on the products, because it is usual that serums have smaller molecules and therefore penetrate deeper, while creams have larger molecules that act on the surface. While sometimes both products have both!

The answer is simple – it does all three things simultaneously! It hydrates intensively, has an anti-inflammatory effect, promotes cellular healing, which is why it is often used in other branches of medicine, such as rheumatology. It also soothes the skin, so it is often used for sensitive and hypersensitive skin.

Hyaluronic fillers are hyaluronic acid products in gel form that are injected directly into the skin and subcutaneous tissue with thin needles. In this way, they change or correct the appearance of the part of the face on which they are used.

It is important to know that hyaluronic fillers are medical devices and that the application intervention with hyaluronic fillers must be performed by a specialist doctor with experience, as well as that the products used must be of proven and highest quality. In addition to the application of hyaluronic acid in the water of dermal fillers, a very popular method is biorevitalization of the face with hyaluronic acid , when it is applied along the entire face for hydration and regeneration of the skin.
