The chemistry of hyaluronic acid

​

Hyaluronan is a long chain of hyaluronic acid molecules. It is the water sponge of our body.

 

Hyaluronan is rapidly degraded by our enzymes. To delay its degradation, it must be crosslinked. That is, hyaluronan molecules must be attached next to each other.

 

According to the crosslinking of hyaluronan, the molecule is more or less fluid. A fluid hyaluronan will be used for intradermal filling. Thick hyaluronan will be used for subcutaneous filling.

​

Indications

​

• Rhinoplastie

• Lion's wrinkle

• Upper wrinkle of the nose

• Nasolabial folds

• Lip wrinkles

• Bitterness wrinkles

• Smile wrinkles

• Hem of lips

• Masculinity of men's facial contours

• Feminisation of women's facial contour

• Filling of the hollow cheeks

• Underlining of the angle of the jaw

​

The joint use of a high-end restorative cosmetic like La Maison Clayton Shagal, or PRP, allows the repair of damaged tissue. This synergy of treatments makes it possible to space the injections of hyaluronan very strongly.

 

The wrinkles usually treated are the lion's wrinkle, the nasolabial fold, the wrinkles around the mouth and the corners of the lips.

 

In the same way, for subcutaneous injections of hyaluronan fillers of hollow, it is possible to add PRP, to create tissue that will last after the disappearance of hyaluronan.
