Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

By Dr. Ali Ghahary

As we age, the elasticity and collagen in our body depletes, thus causing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness in the skin’s appearance.

Aging first begins in our mid to late 20s and advances over the years due to the skin’s physiological changes, resulting in a combination of bone loss, collagen loss, elastin loss and fat loss.

There are also some other very specific factors that will accelerate the aging process such as smoking, stress, dramatic changes in weight, and exposure to extremely hot or extremely cold climates.

While growing older is inevitable, there has been much progress made in terms of slowing down the aging process, with many different options now available.

Certain facial creams have been promoted as containing elastin – however, these creams do little in terms of reversing the effects of aging.

For individuals who are serious about looking to enhance their appearance and elude the look of aging in a safe and effective manner, Dr. Ali Ghahary offers patients the option of using cosmetic fillers, which are becoming a top choice amongst Canadians seeking to fight against aging.

One type of cosmetic filler shown to be most effective in slowing down the aging process is Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that typically occurs naturally within our bodies and is found underneath the layers of the skin.

However, as we age, the Hyaluronic Acid in our bodies diminishes over time, leaving your skin feeling and looking dull as a result.

Cosmetic fillers containing Hyaluronic Acid will help to restore the skin’s smoothness by retaining moisture, and can even increase the skin’s elasticity by as much as 30%, brightening your overall appearance and leaving you looking and feeling great.

But that’s not all! Cosmetic enhancements aren’t the only benefits of Hyaluronic Acid. It also works well as a great anti-inflammatory agent, particularly in individuals suffering from arthritis, with some reporting a decrease in their joint pain by as much as 60% thanks to Hyaluronic Acid injections.
