Hyaluronic acid (HA) has become the dominant biomaterial in injectable soft tissue augmentation, with millions of treatments performed annually worldwide. As a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, native HA possesses exceptional biocompatibility, hygroscopicity, and viscoelastic properties. However, in its unmodified state, HA is rapidly degraded in vivo by endogenous hyaluronidases and reactive oxygen species, with a tissue half-life measured in hours to days. [1,2]
To overcome this limitation and create materials suitable for lasting soft tissue correction, HA must be chemically cross-linked. This process transforms a fluid polysaccharide solution into a structured hydrogel with tuneable mechanical and biological properties. The chemistry of cross-linking is, in many respects, the defining step that determines how a dermal filler will perform in the hands of a clinician and in the tissues of a patient. [2,3]
On January 29, 2026, during IMCAS World Congress in Paris, HTL Biotechnology hosted its first scientific session dedicated to the future of regenerative and aesthetic medicine.
Bringing together experts from industry and clinical practice, the session explored how advanced biopolymers are helping shift aesthetic medicine toward a more regenerative approach, focused on skin quality, tissue repair, and long-term biological function.
