How Visial Injection works
Visial 1% Injection is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body that acts like a gel or barrier under the skin. By breaking down this barrier, Visial 1% Injection temporarily increases the permeability of the tissue, allowing fluids, medications, or contrast agents to spread and be absorbed more easily. This helps in faster hydration, better dispersion of injected drugs, and improved resorption of imaging agents, making treatments and diagnostic procedures more effective. In simple terms, it opens up the tissue to help things move and absorb more quickly.
