Hyaluronic acid treatments involve the application of hyaluronic acid in the form of mesotherapy. It is applied to the skin to restore moisture and enhance its elasticity. The effects of these injections, applied with very fine needles under the skin, become visible after approximately 2-3 months.
As we age, our skin loses its collagen, hyaluronic acid (a building block of collagen), and fat tissue. This leads to skin sagging, the formation of wrinkles, and deep lines. Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in keeping our skin youthful. While maintaining the skin's moisture, hyaluronic acid also stimulates collagen production, thereby enhancing skin firmness and vitality. Moreover, hyaluronic acid acts as an antioxidant, protecting our skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. Thus, hyaluronic acid contributes to delaying skin aging and supports skin rejuvenation (anti-aging).
Hyaluronic acid can be applied alone or can be enriched with succinic acid, amino acids, vitamins, brightening agents, and peptides before being injected beneath the skin. These molecules are chosen based on the skin's needs. The treatment yields excellent results for individuals who, besides wrinkles, also have skin redness, sensitivity, dryness, discoloration, and under-eye circles. The procedure is typically performed in 3-4 sessions with intervals of 2-3 weeks. It's recommended to have a course repeated annually.
For individuals in their 30s to 35s, when skin elasticity has not yet deteriorated, it's appropriate to start hyaluronic acid treatments primarily to maintain moisture and prevent potential wrinkle formation. However, for older individuals aiming to reduce wrinkles and strengthen the skin against damages caused by environmental factors like the sun, smoking, and air pollution, it's suitable to apply the treatment in 3-4 sessions every 15-20 days. To maintain the benefits, depending on the wear and tear of the skin, sessions should be repeated every 6 months to a year.
