Hyaluronic Acid: Glycosaminoglycan for Medical and Cosmetic Use
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring linear polysaccharide composed of repeating disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. It is a major component of the extracellular matrix in connective tissues, synovial fluid, and the vitreous humor of the eye. HA is uniquely capable of retaining water — up to 1,000 times its own weight — which underpins its widespread use in dermal fillers, ophthalmic surgery, viscosupplementation, and skincare formulations.

Applications
In ophthalmology, sodium hyaluronate is used as a viscoelastic during cataract surgery and as the active component in artificial tear formulations. Intra-articular HA injections provide viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis of the knee. Cross-linked HA forms the basis of dermal filler products for facial volume restoration. In wound care, HA-based dressings promote healing by maintaining a moist environment. Cosmetic-grade HA in varying molecular weights (low, medium, high) is a core ingredient in hydrating serums and anti-aging formulations.
