Where is hyaluronic acid found?
It is unlikely that in cosmetics, as well as cosmetic injectable preparations, there is such a popular drug as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is directly related to the synthesis of collagen and elastin, it is this component that is directly responsible for the level of skin hydration. Hyaluronic acid is synthesized naturally in the body. This synthesis occurs most actively, of course, in childhood, as well as at a young age. As a rule, the appearance of the first signs of aging is associated precisely with violations of the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which inevitably occur over time. The process is characterized by dry skin, the appearance of wrinkles.
That is why there is a need to constantly replenish the reserves of hyaluronic acid with age. This can be done in many ways: some prefer, for example, drinking hyaluronic acid. But the easiest way to do this is through injections.
Hyaluronic acid in cosmetology: features
In modern cosmetology, many different methods are used, but fillers (wrinkle fillers), contouring, mesotherapy and biorevitalization are most often used. Biorevitalization, of them, can be called the most popular, with a minimum of contraindications. This procedure is a micro-injection with "hyaluron", which is aimed at moisturizing the skin and stimulating the production of its own acid, collagen and elastin. Biorevitalization is excellent for any type of aging, it moisturizes the skin, makes the skin tone healthier, and improves turgor. In general, the mesotherapy mentioned above works in the same direction, but it is necessary in cases where the signs of aging are more pronounced.
Biorevitalization is done all over the face, on the neck, in the décolleté area, on the hands and in places of obvious dehydration. The skin after it looks moisturized, elastic and smooth, without sagging and premature wrinkles. Biorevitalization is done in courses of three procedures, after which maintenance therapy is required every 3-4 months.
No less actively, hyaluronic acid is used as a filler, a filler not only for wrinkles, but also for lips. In fact, hyaluronic acid is used not only to increase the lips, but also to moisturize them: this effect is noticeable even when literally half a milliliter of the drug is used. However, many women are allergic to the injectable, so they have to resort to creams, or the use of hyaluronic acid inside.
How to replenish the supply of hyaluronic acid in the body without injections?
First, you can start taking a special preparation of hyaluronic acid meant to be drunk. Secondly, hyaluronic acid is found in some foods, and by adjusting your diet in their favor, you may well replenish the reserves of hyaluronic acid in the body. Hyaluronic acid is found in broth, jelly, grapes, tofu, soy milk, and natural red wine. It is best to take red, it is this type of wine that is an excellent antioxidant. And be sure to take the grapes with the skin.
In addition to the above products, potatoes, beets, seafood are also rich in hyaluronic acid, stewed and baked beef, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers are suitable.
In general, all of the above products can be attributed to healthy foods, so such a correction of the diet will have a positive effect on both the condition of the skin and your well-being in general. But if this is not enough, then it still makes sense to turn to drinking hyaluronic acid and injections.
