Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that hydrates the skin, providing volume and flexibility by attracting water, certain vitamins, and minerals.

As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, leading to skin aging, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.

Hyaluronic acid has multiple uses in facial aesthetics. One of its most well-known applications is as a dermal filler to smooth out wrinkles and facial lines, rejuvenating the skin.

Today, it is also used in younger patients to prevent aging by delaying the appearance of wrinkles and maintaining hydrated skin.
