Produced by the cells in our skin tissues since childhood to provide natural hydration, hyaluronic acid is a resource that becomes increasingly rare as we age. Fortunately, researchers have long since unravelled the mystery of extracting this molecule and synthesising it in the laboratory. Of all the techniques applied so far in the cosmetic industry, MD Codes stands out by far, an innovative method that is confused with the name of the most appreciated and famous plastic surgeon in Romania, Dr. Constantin Stan.
THE ROLE OF HYALURONIC ACID AND ITS USE IN THE AESTHETIC INDUSTRY
Naturally produced by the body, hyaluronic acid is a substance that is part of connective, epithelial and neural tissues. Specifically, the acid also known as hyaluronan can be found in the joints of bones, in the auricle, in the discs between vertebrae and in the structure of nerve tissue. The presence of this substance is very important for a better hydration, both at cellular and epidermal level. A single gram of hyaluronic acid can retain no less than six litres of water, which is equivalent to 70% of its own weight. Hyaluronic acid was discovered in 1934 by Karl Meyer, a physician and biochemist at Columbia University in the United States.
The powerful moisturizing effect of hyaluronic acid translates into the ability to replenish water reserves in the tissues and reduce further loss. The qualities of this substance recommend it to be used frequently in medical aesthetic treatments and in medical skin treatment procedures. Due to the fact that it is naturally produced by the skin and its easy and natural assimilation into the body without adverse effects, the aesthetic industry uses this substance widely. Hyaluronic acid is put at the service of beauty with precise regenerative and anti-ageing therapies, performed by injecting hyaluronic acid.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID
Obtained through a synthesis process in the laboratory, hyaluronic acid is used in creams, facial masks, serums and medical treatments to obtain a whole series of positive effects, proven over time. Specifically, on skin hydrated with this substance, wrinkles and folds have a strongly diminished appearance.
The texture of the skin is fine but firm and radiant. Moreover, the unique properties of hyaluronic acid make it a real shield against free radicals, with its powerful antioxidant effect.
Thus, among the advantages of hyaluronic acid administration are:
- cartilage lubrication, with shock-absorbing effect on joints;
- moisturising and hydrating the cornea and retina with the same effectiveness as natural eye fluids;
- rapid regeneration and healing of the skin in case of level II and III burns;
- repair of perforations in the tympanic membrane;
- treating respiratory problems through the effect of hyaluronic acid aerosols.
WHAT EFFECT HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS HAVE
As you get older, the natural features of your hair fade and the signs of ageing become more and more evident. Cells deep within the skin produce less acid, expression lines deepen and skin imperfections become more pronounced. The rejuvenating action that hyaluronic acid has on the skin is the greatest benefit that recommends it in beauty therapies. The easiest way to integrate this substance into your beauty routine is through hyaluronic acid ampoules and creams, which should not be missing from your beauty kit.
However, the most visible effects of hyaluronic acid action are seen after the injection, a treatment session lasting only a few minutes, but with results that are seen for 9-12 months, depending on the area chosen and the product used in the procedure. A very fine needle is used for the injection, but only after applying an anaesthetic cream to relieve the unpleasant stinging sensation. Although the area to which the procedure has been applied will become red, the effect will wear off quickly and the skin should not be swabbed or massaged on the day of treatment. The facial contour, cheeks and lips are reshaped following the session.
WHAT IS MD CODES AND HOW IT WORKS
Developed by Mauricio de Maio, MD, who has over 20 years of clinical experience, the MD Codes technique has its origins in a unique facial area classification system, introduced in 2010, which recommends injection at several strategic points. Thus, in addition to the option of possible surgery, the patient has the opportunity to choose an innovative injection method without adverse effects such as facial deformation or scarring. Using the filler-type beautifying procedure, the technique provides immediately noticeable volume and structure, without any of the drawbacks of traditional procedures.
In 2015, the MD Codes procedure was finalised, and today it takes to a new level the accuracy of the distribution of injection points across the face. Divided into 13 key areas and grouped according to the number of injections needed to reshape each of the landmarks, such as the eyebrow or cheekbone area, the MD Codes also contribute to a more natural, more natural-looking face. The concept can easily be summed up in three words: foundation, contour, refinement.
Recommended for all skin types, the MD Codes hyaluronic acid injection procedure is one of the most effective and least invasive treatments in aesthetic medicine, helping to rapidly restore tissue and stimulate natural collagen production.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that plays an essential role in the connective tissue, forming a matrix around cells. This substance is found in high concentrations in the joints, skin and eyes, and various forms of it are used in cosmetic treatments, for example injectable hyaluronic acid or hyaluronic acid serums. Injectable liquid facelift procedures use this substance to achieve a variety of beneficial effects on the skin.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid?
Generally in the body, hyaluronic acid contributes to the proper functioning of the joints, preventing pain and discomfort at this level. This substance retains water very well, making it important in the hydration process. It is therefore often used to treat dry eyes and is part of a variety of pharmaceutical preparations, such as moisturisers, lotions and face and body serums. On the skin, this molecule helps to heal wounds faster, reduce scarring and maintain optimal hydration and elasticity.
What are the effects of hyaluronic acid injection?
Hyaluronic acid injections help to fill wrinkles and fine lines, treat various types of scars, such as those caused by acne, and volumise the lips or various areas of the face and hands. Following a liquid facelift procedure with an injectable substance such as hyaluronic acid, your skin becomes firmer and smoother, and you enjoy hydrated skin and a rejuvenated appearance. Research has shown that injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin can stimulate natural collagen production.
