Anyone who spends a lot of time in the beauty world already knows about the many benefits of hyaluronic acid. For example, just 1 gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water. But what about hyaluronic acid capsules and their effect?
In general, the moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid are used, among other things, to give the skin new freshness and fullness. This is increasingly useful from the age of 25, as the body's own hyaluronic acid reserves slowly begin to diminish at this age. As a result, the skin retains less fluid, loses elasticity and shows the first wrinkles. Filler treatment is an extremely low-risk and effective way of counteracting this.
Hyaluronic acid intake - an effective trend?
An unpleasant side effect of the proven benefits of Hyaluron however, is that they virtually invite exaggerated or even false advertising promises. These include, among others:
- Exaggerated effect of hyaluronic creams: The fact that the supposed Effect of hyaluronic creams is too good to be true, was discussed in more detail in another article.
- Dangers of the hyaluron pen trend: The risks of the Hyaluron pens as a dangerous trend We cannot emphasize this often enough.
In recent years, hyaluronic acid capsules have become a new player in the world of hyaluronic acid.
Officially, they are considered a dietary supplement and the promise of hyaluronic acid capsules is simple: by taking hyaluronic acid capsules regularly, the skin becomes more supple and smoother and wrinkles disappear. This sounds quite plausible at first. After all, hyaluronic acid is also injected during a filler treatment to give the skin volume and eliminate wrinkles. It is therefore not unreasonable to expect the same effect to unfold with a different "ingestion method".
The problem: The wrinkle-fighting effect of hyaluronic acid capsules has not been proven. Although studies from Japan suggest that the regular intake of hyaluronic acid capsules can increase skin hydration, it cannot make wrinkles disappear. Due to the unproven effect, statements such as "maintaining good skin hydration" are even prohibited in advertising in the EU (source: verbraucherzentrale.de). As a result, claims regarding skin hydration are usually made in relation to the vitamins also contained in the capsules. If you read product descriptions carefully, you will quickly realize that they rarely advertise a positive, proven effect of the hyaluronic acid they contain.
Hyaluronic acid capsules and their effect - always remain critical and get the right information
It is not easy to find objective information on hyaluronic acid capsules and their effectiveness. For example, if you google "hyaluronic acid capsules effect", you will often find the following content:
- Article with an enlightening character: Although they discuss the general benefits of hyaluronic acid, they rarely address the supposed effect of the capsules.
- Use of affiliate links: Many of these articles contain so-called "affiliate links" that refer to specific products. This means that the author receives a commission every time a user clicks on one of these links.
Can we really expect an objective and critical assessment of the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid capsules?
Here, of course, you can ask yourself how objective Beauty2Go is, because after all, we also offer Hyaluron treatments on. The big difference is that we are transparent and honest about the effect and duration of action of 100 %:
- Evident effect: The effect of filler treatments with hyaluron is proven and clearly visible, in contrast to hyaluron capsules and hyaluron creams.
- Versatile applications: Whether to combat wrinkles, to inject the lips or for Hand rejuvenation - The effect of a filler treatment lasts for several months.
- Sustainability: Over time, the hyaluronic acid is broken down and the effect can be refreshed with a further treatment.
What is also clear, of course, is that a filler treatment is more expensive than hyaluronic creams or capsules. However, if you compare the actual effect and how long it lasts, then it is usually a sensible investment.
