Overview

Hyluronic Acid is present in every tissue of the body. It has many functions including stimulating the tissue’s water retention capabilities. Hyluronic Acid also helps to provide nutrients and remove waste from cells that do not have a direct blood supply. Additionally, Hyluronic Acid is found in the skin and in the synovial fluid in the joint cavities. Hyluronic acid is now used frequently by manufacturers in topical anti-aging creams. Many anti-aging and anti-wrinkle creams contain hyluronic acid as the major active ingredient in the cream, as it is said to be natural wrinkle filler and there is little or not chance of the body reacting badly with it. Injections of Hyluronic Acid are also available. Professionals who promote these injections of Hyluronic Acid say that it can improve the skin’s contour, reduce wrinkles and also help correct skin damage due to scarring.

Product Details

Many people choose to have Hyluronic Acid injections as a safer alternative to Botox. Hyluronic Acid injections are natural and are approved by the Food and Drugs Administration. However, approval as regards to safety does not necessarily mean approval as regards efficacy. Those that have these injections may experience redness and swelling for a week after. However, injections of Hyluronic Acid are not a permanent anti-aging solution. Even if the injections do manage to diminish your wrinkles, the Hyluronic Acid will eventually break down in your body and you will therefore need another treatment. Hyluronic Acid is also present in some chemical peels and, again, you can expect some soreness and swelling after the chemical peel.

There are a number of anti-aging face creams on the market, which contain Hyluronic Acid. There are also Hyluronic Acid supplements available which can be taken orally. However, some experts urge caution with these supplements as they say that we do not know what their long-term side effects are. Some users who have taken these supplements have reported skin rashes.

The Good

  • Hyluronic Acid Injections are approved by the Food and Drugs Administration.
  • A wide range of products containing Hyluronic Acid are available.
  • Anti-aging creams containing Hyluronic Acid can be ordered on line.

The Bad

  • Injections of Hyluronic Acid can cause swelling and redness.
  • We do not know what the long term effects of Hyluronic Acid Injections.
  • There is no actual concrete evidence that Hyluronic Acid in anti aging creams is effective.
  • Supplements of Hyluronic Acid may cause skin rashes.

The Bottom Line

It seems as if Hyluronic Acid injections may have a positive effect on your lines and wrinkles. Some may prefer these injections as a safer alternative to other injections available such as Botox, as Hyluronic Acid is deemed to be a natural substance. However the effect of Hyluronic injections does not last and we do not know what the long term effects are.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
