Information about Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid Uses

Hyaluronic Acid is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, wrinkles and dry eyes.

How Hyaluronic Acid works

Hyaluronic Acid is natural polysaccharide (sugar). In bone disorders (osteoarthritis), it works by reducing friction in the joints and helps them work smoothly. Hyaluronic Acid also has an anti-aging effect. When injected into the skin (on the face most often), it works by hydrating the skin, enabling it to retain more water. This creates a filling/plumping effect and potentially fights wrinkles and other signs of aging. As an eye drop/cream/gel, it forms a thin, protective layer that helps to lock in moisture, preventing excessive evaporation of tears and maintaining a stable tear film.
