Hyaluronic acid has firmly secured its place among wrinkle removal
products. Specifically, hyaluronic acid is now commonly being considered
for use alongside botox, collagen and fat injections in the fight against
wrinkles. Moreover, hyaluronic acid products tend to last longer than its
competition.
For nearly 10 years, Botox injections have been used to treat fines
lines and wrinkles in the face. While Botox has few side effects, the
desired anti-wrinkle effects only last three to six months. Collagen, a
natural protein, has been used for over 25 years. Like Botox, however, the
effects are short-term and the process needs to be repeated within three
to four months. Another anti-wrinkle procedure, fat transfer, occurs when
fat is removed from one part of the body via liposuction and used to fill
in wrinkles. This is obviously a more involved procedure. Regardless, the
results are not permanent, as losses of facial subcutaneous fat are a
natural part of the aging process.
Hyaluronic acid, while not yet FDA approved, has been successfully used
in Canada in Europe. It has gained respect for its non-invasive nature,
and endurance versus Botox and collagen. In fact, Hyaluronic acid results
tend to last up to six to nine months. Like Botox and collagen, Hyaluronic
acid studies show a low frequency of allergic reaction.
The benefits of hyaluronic acid have resulted in its increased use
among both men and women. According to the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery, in 2004 the total number of Hyaluronic acid facial
injections procedures in the U.S. increased nearly 100 times from the
prior year, from 9,635 Hyaluronic acid injections in 2003 to 882,469
injections in 2004.
