You’ve surely heard about the component, but… did you know that there are several types of hyaluronic acid? 🤔
You probably already knew about it, but still, we decided to write you an article about it.
Do you know why?
Because we want you to be as informed as possible.
So, get comfortable below that we are going to tell you about each of these types of acid, based on their density.
Also, you are going to be able to know their areas of application and have the basics you need to go to your next consultation with all your doubts solved 🔥.
What is hyaluronic acid used for?
Hyaluronic acid is the leading treatment in aesthetic medicine, helping you to fight the signs of aging.
This component is a molecule that your body produces naturally and its main function is to keep skin tissues, cartilage and joints hydrated and healthy.
Over the years, you lose the density of this hyaluronic acid, which causes a loss of elasticity in your skin. As a result, wrinkles appear and the face becomes flaccid 😫.
Thanks to hyaluronic acid fillers you can combat these signs and generate collagen of the highest quality.
How many types of hyaluronic acid are there?
There are different types of hyaluronic acid. Each of them has a specific density and composition for each area to be treated.
However, it is important to note that there are many properties and characteristics that differentiate one type of hyaluronic acid from another. For this article we have divided them according to their density.
Thanks to this, you will know the usefulness of each one of them.
Types of hyaluronic acid for the nose
For the nose the best hyaluronic acid is the one with a high density.
These acids are more cross-linked. Therefore, they are firm and dense, seeking to mimic the consistency of bone to project and create new volume, making it more than ideal for the nose ✅
The best treatment to achieve this is rhinomodeling and the results can last you up to 1 year.
Types of hyaluronic acid for lips
Among the types of hyaluronic acid that exist, those of intermediate density are the best for the lips, being more elastic and moldable.
The texture of these acids is like plasticine and they are ideal for dynamic volumizing, as they are best incorporated in areas of high mobility.
For that reason, if you want to apply hyaluronic acid to your lips 👉 make sure it is of intermediate density.
In addition, like rhinomodeling, you can wear your lip design for up to 1 year.
Types of hyaluronic acid for dark circles
To correct dark circles under the eyes, there is nothing better than low density acids.
These acids are softer, i.e. they are like an oil. For this reason, they can be very well integrated into the tissue without excessively volumizing.
This makes it possible to correct superficial lines that don’t require a lot of volume, such as dark circles 🙌.
Other application areas according to density
As you could notice in previous paragraphs, hyaluronic acids can be classified according to their density and each one specializes in a specific area.
Next, we are going to mention the types of density that exist and the places where they can be applied ⬇️
✅ High density
In addition to the nose, this type of acid is perfect for areas such as the cheekbone, chin and jaw arch. This is because more volume needs to be created to achieve the desired results.
✅ Medium density
Being a moldable acid, it becomes the choice of choice for areas such as the cheek, creases and, of course, the lips.
✅ Low density
Like the previous one, these types of hyaluronic acid are perfect for those areas where not much volume is needed.
For example, it can also be applied on the lips in case you want something more subtle.
Similarly, it can be placed in areas such as the barcode (upper lip). This way, you can get a lighter result.
✅ Very low density
These types of hyaluronic acid have a water-like consistency. Therefore, they are only used to moisturize the skin without adding volume.
This makes it the ideal acid for redensifying the skin of the face, neck and décolleté.
So, for very light touch-ups, low density hyaluronic acid is your best choice.
How do I know which type of hyaluronic acid I am going to receive?
Before starting any treatment it is important that you clarify all your doubts with the doctor who will perform the procedure.
Also, knowing the types of hyaluronic acid will help you understand why the same type can’ t be used in different areas 🙅.
That’s why we customize your treatment based on your needs 📝 and the results you want.
So, if you are thinking of having your glow up before the end of the year, ask for your assessment and we will attend to you right away 😍
