Hyaluronic acid generally functions to hydrate and moisturize the skin, and can also be used for filling or cosmetic procedures. Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, comes in small, medium, and large molecular sizes. Small-molecule hyaluronic acid primarily provides hydration and moisture retention, effectively improving dry skin. Medium-molecule hyaluronic acid is typically used for fillers, such as filling nasolabial folds or tear troughs, yielding good results. Large-molecule hyaluronic acid is mainly used in cosmetic整形 procedures, such as nose augmentation or chin enhancement, and it is important to choose a high-quality product for these applications.
