Beginning at age 20 our skin produces less hyaluronic acid, decreasing to 50% by age 50. Hyaluronic acid is a key component in skin health and function. Hyaluronic acid binds 1000 times its own weight in water and causes increased production of Aquaporin-3, both critical to skin hydration. Increased skin collagen density and extracellular matrix is noted after treatment and lasts for over 6 months.
Hydration contributes to the overall condition of the skin, affecting the surface texture, colour, ability to reflect light and physiological properties.
Skin appearance is a major determinant of how others perceive us, it reflects our health, well being and apparent age. Skin quality has been shown to substantially impact emotional health, quality of life, self-perception, and interactions with others.
