What is the difference between collagen and hyaluronic acid? What are the common manifestations?

Nowadays, injectable beauty has gradually become a trend, and more and more beauty-conscious women hope to improve their skin quality and facial appearance through injectable beauty methods. Among injectable materials, we often hear about collagen and hyaluronic acid, both of which have good cosmetic effects. So what is the difference between these two injection materials?

What is the difference between collagen and hyaluronic acid?

The most abundant area of ​​collagen is the skin, accounting for about 75% of the dermis. As people age, the rate of collagen loss in the body begins to accelerate. In addition, the sun's ultraviolet rays and the body's oxidation damage collagen, causing skin fibers to break, fat to atrophy, and sweat and sebaceous gland secretion to decrease. It usually manifests as loss of skin elasticity, sagging, thinning, aging, pigmentation and wrinkles. In particular, smokers' skin ages faster than non-smokers, and women lose collagen in their skin faster than men. So, collagen supports the skin like a [spring], keeping it elastic.

Hyaluronic acid is an important moisturizing element existing in the dermis of the skin. Its content will decrease with age, causing the skin to become dry, dehydrated and aging, and causing problems such as wrinkles, roughness, dullness and uneven skin tone. Topical application and smearing can only temporarily change the skin's epidermis and cannot act on the dermis. Therefore, hyaluronic acid is the most magical and effective moisturizing factor for wrinkle removal and anti-wrinkle, and is usually only suitable for cosmetic surgery. However, cosmetic surgery is expensive, has a short-lived effectiveness, and requires frequent surgeries to maintain the results. If you need more information, please consult our experts online.

It can be seen from this that if you only take collagen without taking hyaluronic acid at the same time, you cannot effectively keep your skin smooth and moist. Similarly, if you only take hyaluronic acid without taking collagen at the same time, you cannot effectively maintain your skin's elasticity. The two complement each other and taking them together can bring the greatest effect to your skin.

The above is the expert’s introduction. I believe you have already understood it. Experts from plastic surgery hospitals remind that although current medical cosmetic surgery technology is relatively mature, in order to better ensure the safety of the operation and the postoperative results, you must choose a regular cosmetic surgery hospital or institution for the operation.
