HYALURONIDASE
TO TREAT HA EXCESSES
Philippe Deprez and Evgenyia Ranneva discuss the problems that
can arise following treatments using hyaluronic acid, and how
hyaluronidase can work to rectify the problem
aBsTraCT
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that specifically dissolves hyaluronic acid polymers. In the past it has been largely
used for undoing cellulitis fibrosis and more recently, for dissolving hyaluronic acid filler excesses of granulo-
mas. The use of hyaluronidase is very simple and comprises the injection of a sterile dissolution of the hyaluro-
nidase powder directly inside the problem area to be treated.
An allergy test is absolutely essential before every injection session, since hyaluronidase is an enzyme, an ex-
ogenous protein. Results can be seen very quickly and are definitive.

■ Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used specifically to treat hyaluronic acid and filler excesses

RRS® SILISORG
Increase hyaluran synthase 2 gene expression
Introduction
Organic silicium has been use for decades in mesotherapy procedures. Although its beneficial properties for the skin have
been widely observed, poor scientific documentations describing the molecular mechanisms involved can be found.
Summary
An in vitro assay has been performed on RRS® SILISORG for efficacy assessment on human fibroblast. Cell proliferation
following the exposure to the actives in particular conditions has been evaluated.
RRS® SILISORG Is able to increase hyaluran synthase 2 gene* expression 26 times (corresponding to a 2400% increase).
* HAS2 in human is responsible of the majority of High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid synthesis.
Among the three HAS proteins present in human, HAS2 is the only one essential for life.
Hyaluronan synthase 2 protects skin fibroblasts against apoptosis induced by environmental stress.

Replicates 3 0,2 mg/ml 1 mg/ml Human insulin 50µg/ml
Conclusion
RRS SILISORG capability to renew extracellular hyaluronic acid content is suggested by its capacity to induce high levels
of HAS2 in vitro.

RRS® HA INJECTABLE
Increase syntesis of collagen & elastin
Introduction
RRS® HA INJECTABLE is an innovative skin booster, Medical device Class III. In order to clarify the molecular mechanisms,
two in vitro assays were performed.
Summary
An in vitro test has been done on RRS® HA INJECTABLE for efficacy assessment on human fibroblast. Cell proliferation
following the exposure to the actives in particular conditions has been evaluated.
RRS® HA INJECTABLE is able to increase collagen type 1 transcript* 10 times and elastin transcript** 14 times in hu-
man fibroblast following an incubation period of 48 hours at a dose of 1 mg/ml.
* Collagen type 1 is the main protein constituent of skin dermis and is responsible for skin thickness.
It is mainly synthetized by dermal fibroblast.
** Elastin in the other hand is the key protein of skin elastic fibres and therefore skin elasticity.

Atrofillin®: SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ABOUT PGC-1α
“Combined with the regulation of expression, the elevated number of posttranslational modifications on PGC-
1α allow for a powerful and flexible system of regulation. These modifications can occur in concert or in a
mutually exclusive manner. Some modifications will influence the ability of others to take place or to affect
PGC-1α function. The presence of a specific pattern of posttranslational modifications on PGC-1α protein can
direct PGC-1α toward a precise set of transcriptional targets as a reaction to energy needs and tissue-specific
conditions that drive these posttranscriptional modifications”
Fernandez-Marcos PJ, Auwerx J. Am J. Clin Nutr. 2011 Apr;93(4)
”Aging is also associated with a lower renewal of mitochondria. This is mainly due to the lack of reactivity of
proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) in old animals. PGC-1α acts as a master
regulator of energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis and recent evidence shows that it interacts with
p53 and telomerase. The promotion of mitochondriogenesis is critical to prevent aging.”
