Ageing leads to changes in skin properties including morphology, physiology and mechanical properties. As a person ages all three of these layers go through considerable transformations but the most significant occur in the top two layers. The epidermal cells become thinner causing noticeable differences in transparency and moisture. Another essential portion of the skin is the extracellular matrix. This is primarily composed of proteoglycans called glycosaminoglycan. One of the most abundant glycosaminoglycans in the skin is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial and neural tissues. It is one of the chief components of the extracellular matrix contributing significantly to cell proliferation and migration. Commonly used in cosmetic formulations, hyaluronic acid readily binds moisture in the skin boosting moisturization and plumping the surrounding tissues. Injections of hyaluronic acid are commonly used today by plastic surgeons to temporarily fill and smooth wrinkles by adding volume under the skin.
