What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin, joints and connective tissues. It plays an essential role in the hydration and firmness of the skin. With age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, which can lead to the formation of wrinkles , sagging skin and loss of volume in the face. Hyaluronic acid injections restore this substance and provide immediate and natural results .
