hüaluronaani

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan or sodium hyaluronate, is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the human body. Its primary function is to lubricate joints and moisturize skin. Hyaluronic acid molecules are capable of attracting and retaining large amounts of water, which contributes to hydration and volume. In the skin, it plays a crucial role in maintaining its structure, elasticity, and suppleness.

Hyaluronic acid is widely used in cosmetic and dermatological products due to its humectant properties. It is a common ingredient in moisturizers, serums, and fillers, aimed at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by plumping the skin. It is also utilized in ophthalmology for treating dry eye syndrome and in joint injections to alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis.

The production of hyaluronic acid in the body can decrease with age, leading to reduced skin hydration and joint lubrication. This decline has spurred research and development into synthetic and biotechnologically produced hyaluronic acid for therapeutic and cosmetic applications. It is generally considered safe for topical use and injection, with minimal side effects reported.
