Over time, the quality of your skin changes with the ageing process. Collagen and elastic fibres disintegrate and the spread and function of the body’s own hyaluronic acid changes. This results in drier, thinner, rougher skin with less rebound.
You can look after your skin by adding hyaluronic acid through injections under the skin surface. The hyaluronic acid restores the water balance and improves the structure, plumpness and elasticity of the skin.

It has many functions, from giving the skin elasticity and providing our skin with volume, therefore giving it a youthful appearance.
