| What
a wrinkle is.
With time, exposure to the sun and other elements, skin components break down.
The skin loses structure and volume. Unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear.
Healthcare professionals now can correct wrinkles and facial folds, reversing
the signs of aging.
How wrinkles are corrected.
The appearance of wrinkles and facial folds can be smoothed by adding structure
and volume underneath and bringing sunken skin back up to the surface.
Generally, this is done by injecting materials into the skin, to achieve a
temporary effect. When administered by a trained healthcare professional, you
can be sure that the materials have been proven safe to use. One example is
hyaluronic acid.
 What
hyaluronic acid is.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural complex sugar found in all living cells, and
one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue matrix, along with
collagen and elastin.
HA
retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1000 times its weight. this
helps to attract and maintain water, hydrating your skin and increasing its
volume and density.
