ADD Detail

Sodium Hyaluronate
MF: C28H44N2NaO23+     MW: 799.6 Da
1. Moisturizing : Water Bridge Formation between Water Molecule to HA by Anionic Charge.
2. Volume Effect :  Synthesis Extracellular Skin Matrix Molecules
3. Tension : Epidermal cell interactions with the surrounding environment
4. Soothing :  Anti-inflammation and the Angiogenesis process
저분자 HA의 경우 표피를 투과하여 보습, 소염, 진피의 기질형성, 콜라겐 합성 유도 등의 용도.
고분자 HA의 경우 각질 층 외부에서 보습, 장력, 피부톤 개선 등의 용도
**** Mesotherpy로 고분자 HA를 진피에 전달하는 경우에는 고분자 HA 효과를 진피에서 볼 수 있다.( SKIN BOOSTER ) ****
*** HA Dermal Filler:  697k~1,058kDa, G’ 137Pa~177Pa( Cross Linked HA : 211 ~ 420 Pa), Mixture of Cross-Linked and Noncrosslinked HA,(Restylene Skin Booster)

Skin Permeability
Low Molecular HA :  ~500k Da  : Can pass Stratum Cornea(~300k Da).
Medium Molecular HA : 500k Da ~1,000k Da : Hard to pass Stratum Cornea.
High Molecular HA : 1,000k Da~ : Very Hard to Pass Stratum Cornea.
