How does hyaluronic acid affect lips?
Hyaluronic acid - It is an integral part of the human body. It is part of the epithelium, tissue, skin, etc. Every day we lose the third part hyaluronate and develop it again. With age, the body loses its ability to regenerate acid in the same amount. Therefore, the skin begins to age, dryness and wrinkles appear.
Beauticians have come up with a way to make up for the lack of a substance, thereby stopping the aging process - to enter from the outside. Hyaluronic acid fills wrinkles and plays a role filler.
Due to the fact that this cosmetic product is safe for health, it is also used for lips. Injections increase and correct the shape, as well as fill in wrinkles and cracks in aging skin.
To enlarge the lips, a gel is used, which is injected. A microdose of acid is injected into a specific area, which is evenly distributed in a given area.
In the procedure for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid, there are a number the benefits:
- The injected acid is identical to that produced by the body. In the last century, hyaluronate was obtained from fish and cocks. Now, experts have found a simple way to produce the substance artificially, while not losing beneficial substances.
- Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture. It is believed that one molecule of a substance is able to accumulate in itself up to a thousand water molecules. Therefore, this is one of the best way to moisturize the skin of the lips.
- This substance has properties that accelerate the process of tissue regeneration. A positive effect is observed not only in the lips, but also beyond. The healing process of wounds, scars and traces of acne is accelerated.
Despite the great benefits of hyaluronic acid treatments, an undesirable reaction can also occur.
Complications after injection with hyaluronic acid occur due to poor hygiene during the procedure, misunderstanding between the master and the client, as well as improper care after the increase.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a good, experienced specialist, as well as listen to his recommendations as much as possible.
