The Role of Hyaluronic Acid
Disease description:
Lately, I've often heard people talking about hyaluronic acid, and some of my friends are using it as well. Since I don't know much about it, I'd like to ask: what exactly is hyaluronic acid used for?

In the field of aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is commonly used for filling wrinkles, improving facial contours, enhancing skin elasticity and luster, and treating symptoms such as dry eyes.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide substance in the human body, with excellent moisturizing properties. It helps the skin retain water, keeping it hydrated and smooth. For wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and crow's feet, injecting hyaluronic acid can fill and smooth out the wrinkles, restoring the skin's smoothness and achieving facial rejuvenation.
Additionally, hyaluronic acid can be used in shaping procedures such as lip augmentation and rhinoplasty, helping patients achieve more desirable facial contours. In the medical field, hyaluronic acid is also used in ophthalmic surgery and joint lubrication, demonstrating its diverse applications and potential. With its unique moisturizing, filling, and shaping functions, hyaluronic acid provides effective solutions for people's health and beauty.
Due to its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, hyaluronic acid has become a safe and effective non-surgical cosmetic treatment, widely used in anti-aging, contouring, and repair therapies. However, hyaluronic acid injections should still be administered by professional physicians to ensure effectiveness and safety.
