About
Hyaluronic
Acid
Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in all living organisms
and is a universal component of the spaces between the cells
of body tissues (extracellular space). It is a
mucopolysacharide that has an identical chemical structure
whether it is found in simple bacteria or in human beings.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) was first used commercially in
1942 when Endre Balazs applied for a patent to use it as a
substitute for egg white in bakery products. He went on to
become the leading expert on HA and made the majority of
discoveries concerning HA during the next 50 years.
Hyaluronic
Acid
plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication and
cellular function
In
the last two decades, the therapeutic and aesthetic uses of
hyaluronic acid have been extended to a number of areas,
including treatment of joint pain, use in fertility clinics,
and tissue augmentation. In the past few years, biotechnology
has been used to develop hyaluronic acid derivatives
with tailor-made molecular sizes, which will further increase
the potential applications of this remarkable molecule.
Hyaluronic Acid plays an important role in tissue
hydration, lubrication and cellular function, and it is able to
hold more water than any other natural substance. Its
unmatched hydrating properties result in increased smoothness,
softening and decreased wrinkles.
