Today, my timeless beauties, we’re heading straight into new-generation aesthetics! 💋
Hyaluronic acid — miracle molecule or just smoke and mirrors?
A little stopover in Greece: Hyalos means “glassy,” because this acid was first isolated from the vitreous humor in cow’s eyes (yes yes, really!).
And uronic… no, nothing to do with a tiny monkey — it actually comes from uronic acid, which is one of its components.
This superstar molecule has some incredible powers: it holds onto water (thank you, hygroscopic properties), it’s viscoelastic (meaning flexible and bouncy), and it’s antioxidant.
It plays a key role in several cellular processes: inflammation, immunity, wound healing, and even the creation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis).
So no, it’s not a “miracle” — but it is a brilliant molecule, and our skin’s very best friend.
We already have it under our skin… But what is its role?
In a context relating to our skin, the role of hyaluronic acid is to achieve hydration through its viscoelasticity and its ability to capture water. More simply, it is therefore responsible for the plumpness of our skin and the freshness of our complexion.
Used for filling wrinkles and loss of facial volume, hyaluronic acid can be used by injection or by application of creams. If injections are desired, then the hyaluronic acid present in the injection solution has undergone cross-linking. This means that in order to increase the life of the hyaluronic acid, the molecules will be united with one other. The product can then remain longer in your dermis (between 6 and 12 months).
We therefore agree on the fact that this acid is a moisturizer and can renew tightness and elasticity. But still, caution is the key word, as any injection is not without its dangers!
Let’s talk about the risks — openly and without filters.
Even though the product is naturally present in our bodies, an injection is still a medical procedure.
Redness, swelling, small bruises or inflammatory reactions can appear. In rare cases, more serious complications may occur.
So the danger doesn’t come from the product itself, but from the person injecting it.
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatories, or smoking just before the injection.
And above all, choose a qualified and recognised professional.
If someone offers to inject hyaluronic acid into your breasts, run the other way!
It can interfere with breast cancer screening and make clinical breast examination more difficult.
Focus on recent abuses and scandals.
Social networks have exploded with testimonies about underground injections. Some “beauty influencers” have truly paid the price…
Luna Skye, for example, developed a severe infection after receiving “HYAcorp” injections outside of any medical setting.
Excessive doses, questionable hygiene conditions, and zero medical follow-up… The result: sepsis, hospitalizations, and a long battle to recover.
Since then, several complaints have been filed against fake injectors for “fraud and illegal practice of medicine.”
Even the SNCPRE (The French National Union of Plastic Surgery) is sounding the alarm.
And let’s remember Article 35 of the French Public Health Code:
“A doctor must provide the person they are treating with honest, clear and relevant information about their condition and the care proposed, and ensure that they fully understand it.”
Our 2025 beauty advice:
My timeless beauties, the natural look is making a comeback!
The trends of 2025 are all about light injections, deep hydration, and above all, respecting the face.
The “Snapchat-inflated” effect is out — it’s time for “fresh skin” and soft contours.
So yes to hyaluronic acid, but no to excess and false promises.
Your beauty does not come from a syringe — it comes from the balance between care, health, and confidence.
Take good care of yourselves, my timeless beauties… and steer clear of the scams! 💉✨
