Is collagen better or hyaluronic acid better?
There is no difference between good and bad, we should choose according to the actual situation. Hyaluronic acid and collagen are both cosmetic methods used to fill wrinkles and make up for facial defects. There is no difference between the two. As for the choice of plastic surgery, it depends on your skin. If the skin is dry, with fine lines and dry lines, it is recommended to choose hyaluronic acid that can enhance water locking and moisturizing; If you want to repair damaged skin, you can inject collagen. Next, the difference between collagen and hyaluronic acid is introduced. Beauty seekers can choose the appropriate injection method according to their own actual situation and the differences between them.
Different components
Collagen: Collagen is a biopolymer protein, which is the main component of animal connective tissue.
Hyaluronic acid: The basic structure is a large polysaccharide consisting of two disaccharide units, D- glucuronic acid and N- acetylglucosamine. It is a naturally occurring substance in tissues. Unlike other mucopolysaccharides, it does not contain sulfur.
Different efficacy
Hyaluronic acid and collagen are used to fight aging and make up for facial defects. The differences are as follows:
Collagen: It mainly supports the skin and is suitable for aging, sagging and damaged skin.
Hyaluronic acid: Helps keep skin moist and lubricious. Its transparent molecules can carry more than 500 times of water, which is suitable for dry skin lacking water.
Different principles
Collagen: After collagen is injected into subcutaneous tissue, it will interact with elastic fibers to form reticular support, providing stable and powerful support for dermis, enhancing skin elasticity and increasing tissue capacity. It is a good filling wrinkle removal material.
Hyaluronic acid: after subcutaneous injection of hyaluronic acid, collagen fibers, elastic fibers and other cell bodies can be completely embedded to form a structural matrix with both elastic and viscous characteristics. At the same time, hyaluronic acid can absorb more than 500 times its own volume of water, thus making the skin plump and elastic and achieving the effect of wrinkle removal.
Side effects of collagen
1, causing fat accumulation and obesity: collagen can nourish the skin, keep the skin elastic and not rough, but if you take collagen extracted from pigs and cows, because they contain a lot of fat, you will easily get fat. Therefore, it is recommended to take fish collagen, which does not contain fat and will not lead to obesity.
2. Unqualified products can cause allergies: Unqualified collagen may cause allergies and erythema. In this case, the drug should be stopped at the first time.
3, there will be a rebound after injection: collagen injection is popular now, but the collagen injected into the cortex is well absorbed by the skin, but the cosmetic effect only lasts for half a year to 1 year. After the effect, it will accelerate aging.
4. It is recommended that pregnant women do not take it: Because pregnant women need high protection, they should pay attention to taking any nutritional products, so it is also recommended not to take collagen.
Side effects of hyaluronic acid
Does injection of hyaluronic acid have any side effects? Although the side effects are not great, it is better to follow the laws of nature. People themselves will age with time. It is suggested to eat more foods containing collagen, which can increase the elasticity of skin and prevent aging. It is ok to inject occasionally, but don't inject often (personal advice). Taking good care of the skin, eating more fruits and vegetables and properly hydrating can also achieve the effect of skin rejuvenation.
Arterial embolism, fibrosis and granulation tissue, local redness, swelling and pain, local hematoma and infection, anxiety and foreign body sensation of patients.
Local redness. Local redness is a common phenomenon after rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid, and physiological redness will disappear within 1-2 days. If it doesn't disappear in 3 days, you should go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment.
Local swelling. Hyaluronic acid will cause swelling after rhinoplasty, which will disappear in 1-2 days. If the swelling lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.
Local congestion. When injecting hyaluronic acid, if the needle touches tiny capillaries, there will be subcutaneous congestion, that is, bruising. In general, the bruising will gradually disappear within 1-2 weeks. Take ACMETEA orally as soon as possible to minimize rejection and side effects and help the skin recover as soon as possible. ?
Pigmentation. Generally speaking, pigmentation may occur if the injection is too shallow or if you don't pay attention to sun protection.
Infection. Infection is rare, which may be due to inadequate disinfection during operation or improper postoperative care. Once an infection occurs, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time and deal with it as soon as possible.
Oral administration of ACMETEA before and after operation can minimize rejection and side effects, and ensure the effectiveness and safety of hyaluronic acid. In addition, to ensure the safety of rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid, it is necessary to identify whether hyaluronic acid is genuine or not.
