Korea uses Hyaluronic Acid to Improve Acne Scars

 A study was conducted in Korea which included 30 individuals between the ages of 11-30 with moderate to deep acne scars.  The participants were evaluated for efficacy and potency of Hyaluronic Acid using sub-dermal minimal surgery technology. They were given three sessions, with four-week gaps between each session. They were advised to report on side-effects including pain and improvements of scars if any. At the end of the three-month period, twenty percent of  participants had 75% improvement in scars, sixty percent noticed 50 – 75% improvement, whereas, twenty percent noticed 25 – 50% improvement. There was spot bleeding during the procedure but it came down within 48 hours. Besides this, there were no other side effects reported.



Another recent study involving 12 individuals using Hyaluronic Acid for acne scars was carried out. Most of them saw an immediate difference in moderate to severe scars and did not report any side effects besides spot bleeding and edema. These studies offer encouraging results and prove Hyaluronic Acid is indeed an option for eliminating acne scars, without adverse side-effects that are common with other procedures like chemical peels. The scar reduction was attributed to the volume-adding properties of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is said to help with tissue regeneration and collagen production. Furthermore, the procedure chosen helped with improving skin tone and texture. However, the efficacy is decided based on the type of acne scar and the individual in question. A dermatologist would be the ideal person to comment or suggest if Hyaluronic Acid is suitable for an individual.

Acne scars are very common and can be quite depressing for youngsters and teens. We all have acne at some point, though scars leave unpleasant souvenirs. Scars can be mild to obvious discoloration, superficial or deeper scar, and more often, don’t seem to fade away with time. Scars can be more bothering when they are visible in areas such as our faces. There have been many advances for reducing or eliminating the appearance of scars, and perhaps Hyaluronic Acid is the latest trend.

Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in our bodies and is most concentrated in the fluids that lubricate our joints and eyes. Hyaluronic Acid is now synthesized in laboratories or taken from rooster combs for deployment in treatment and cosmetic procedures. Hyaluronic Acid is available in injections, supplements and is also added to several cosmetic products.

List of Sodium Hyaluronate Applications

Image
 Sodium hyaluronate gel is a kind of glycosaminoglycan, which is widely used in biomedicine, biomaterials, functional foods, and cosmetics.   Sodium hyaluronate has been discovered for nearly 80 years. As early as 1934, Meyer and Palmer isolated a polysaccharide containing uronic acid and hexosamine from the hyaloid body. In a physiological neutral environment, hyaluronic acid is a polyanion. In 1985, Balazs and others suggested that the term hyaluronan be used to unify the name of the substance on the grounds that the substance is essentially a carbohydrate and should be named according to the naming rules of glycosaminoglycan. "Hyaluronan" has been widely used to cover any state of hyaluronic acid and its salt (hyaluronate), usually translated as "hyaluronic acid", abbreviated as HA. At present, HA products are usually referred to as "Sodium Hyaluronate Injection", and the HA product is called sodium hyaluronate gel. As early as the late 1970s, the Uni...

Advancing Eye Surgery with Hyaluronic Acid

The eyes are extremely complex objects within the human body, and therefore eye surgeries are very difficult to perform; hyaluronic acid helps to make the process a lot easier. Your eyes require a very specific set of circumstances to operate at optimal capacity. For example, they need to be lubricated all the time to be able to turn around quickly and efficiently. They also need to be filled with a liquid to maintain an optimal internal environment. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for a lot of this - without hyaluronic acid, everything starts to break down. Hyaluronic acid is the main lubricant and a very important component of the jelly-like substance within the eye. Due to its natural uses in maintaining proper eye functionality, HA is being used to improve eye surgery outcomes. The eyes contain even more hyaluronic acid than your joints, which signifies that the compound has a heavy role to play in their normal functioning. Experts have researched the effects of using a variety...
