WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the body.Roughly 50% of HA In our body is found in the skin.
HA is vital in maintaining the skin layers & structure. It is hydrophilic which means it attracts and binds water, therefore keeping the skin hydrated & smooth.
Like collagen, hyaluronic acid production decreases in the body as we get older increasing the appearance of wrinkles.
The temporary Dermal Filler we use contains man made HA.Once injected into the skin it works alongside the body’s remaining proteins, collagen and elastin, rehydrating the skin giving it volume and a more youthful appearance.
