How Can Hyaluronic Acid Transform The Skin?

By Florence Goulbourne

Hyaluronic acid is potentially one of the most well-known substances in the aesthetics industry, and beyond. Hailed by skincare gurus for its exceptional moisturising abilities, hyaluronic acid is often the most talked-about ingredient in skincare. Take Seventy Hyal 2000, the Next Generation Skin Booster; formulated with a high molecular weight of hyaluronic acid, this skin booster creates a rejuvenated and glowing complexion when injected. Although hyaluronic acid is commonly used for facial applications, there is growing interest in its effectiveness and usefulness for body rejuvenation. This has raised questions about whether the results are as remarkable as those seen on the face. In this article, we discuss the science behind hyaluronic acid and its various uses beyond facial treatments. 

About Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body, plays a crucial role in keeping the skin hydrated and youthful. Found throughout the body where moisture is stored, it forms the foundation of the skin, constituting up to 55% sodium hyaluronate. Recognised for its impressive hydrating abilities, this gel-like molecule stands out for its unique talent to attract and retain water, ensuring optimal skin moisture and flexibility. For aesthetic practitioners, a deeper understanding of hyaluronic acid is essential to unlock its transformative potential for clients.

Skin boosters are designed to restore lost volume or moisture in specific areas, such as the cheeks, and can be used to define features like the jawline and lips. Acting as a humectant, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from its surroundings, making it an ideal ingredient for delivering deep hydration to the skin. Remarkably, it can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water. Beyond hydration, hyaluronic acid contributes to maintaining skin suppleness and elasticity. It supports soft tissue growth, prompting the body to stimulate collagen and elastin production. As we age, we lose about 1% of our hyaluronic acid stores annually after reaching 30. Mature skin produces less HA, resulting in crepey texture, visible lines, and volume loss. Environmental factors, like UV ray exposure, accelerate this reduction, leading patients to seek solutions such as skin boosters to reverse signs of ageing.

It’s interesting to note that to qualify as a cosmetic treatment, hyaluronic acid must undergo chemical modification to prevent decomposition. This process transforms it from a liquid into a gel by crosslinking hyaluronic acid polymer chains, enabling the molecules to fill wrinkles and maintain shape for enhanced longevity.

Hyaluronic Acid and Body Rejuvenation

In the context of body rejuvenation, hyaluronic acid takes on a multifaceted role. While it has long been a cornerstone in facial aesthetics, its application extends to diverse body areas plagued by concerns such as sagging skin, diminished volume, and the overall ageing process.

The use of hyaluronic acid through skin boosters, like Seventy Hyal 2000, becomes a powerful tool for body rejuvenation – especially to combat crepey and wrinkling skin. Administered with precision, skin boosters can work synergistically to stimulate collagen production, fostering enhanced skin elasticity and firmness. The deep hydration provided by hyaluronic acid acts as a catalyst for the skin’s natural regenerative processes, making it an invaluable asset in the pursuit of holistic body rejuvenation.

What sets hyaluronic acid apart is its ability to provide deep hydration, acting as a catalyst for the skin’s natural regenerative processes. When the skin lacks moisture, it can become dry, dull, and prone to wrinkles. By infusing the skin with moisture, hyaluronic acid helps to plump up the skin, filling in fine lines and wrinkles and giving the skin a more youthful appearance. In addition to its hydrating and anti-ageing properties, hyaluronic acid also has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing benefits. It can help to soothe and calm irritated skin, making it a valuable ingredient in products designed for ageing skin. Overall, the targeted application of hyaluronic acid in skincare is an effective way to support holistic body rejuvenation, resulting in healthier and more radiant-looking skin.

Exploring Applications Beyond The Face

The versatility of hyaluronic acid skin boosters becomes more evident when addressing specific body concerns. Aesthetic professionals can customise treatments for areas like the chest, abdomen, and more, tackling issues from ageing, sun exposure, and other lifestyle factors that clients often face. Some other body areas that can be treated with skin boosters include:

Décolletage

Combatting the signs of ageing on the décolletage requires a tailored approach. Skin boosters, especially Seventy Hyal 2000, can be precisely administered to address fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity in this delicate area, restoring a more youthful appearance. Practitioners need to take a bespoke approach to treat this area due to the delicacy of the skin – especially for mature patients. 

Hands

Hands, often overlooked in conventional aesthetics, are prone to volume loss and the development of prominent veins and tendons with age. Hyaluronic acid skin boosters offer a non-surgical solution to replenish lost volume, soften wrinkles, and rejuvenate the hands for a more youthful look.

Knees and Elbows

Skin boosters can be employed to address common concerns around the knees and elbows, areas prone to laxity and crepiness. By leveraging hyaluronic acid’s hydrating and collagen-stimulating properties, practitioners can help can sculpt and rejuvenate these often-neglected regions with a natural appearance.

The Takeaway

The transformative capabilities of skin boosters extend far beyond the face, offering a comprehensive approach to aesthetic enhancement. By understanding the science behind hyaluronic acid and embracing its diverse applications, we can help our clients to foster confidence and well-being across their entire physique.
