9.1.What is hyaluronic acid?

Naturally present in the skin, hyaluronic acid maintains its hydration levels and contributes to its tone. It is a potent moisturising agent with a capacity to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The amount of hyaluronic acid in the dermis gradually decreases with age. As a result, the skin becomes dry and fragile and the first wrinkles appear. When it is injected into the dermis.

    9.2.What can hyaluronic acid correct and improve?

It can be used to:
- Fill fine lines, moderately marked wrinkles and deep wrinkles
- Repair skin creases
- Resculpt the cheekbones and soften the contours of the face
- Increase and reshape lip volume and contour, at the same time moisturising lips and eliminating fine lines around them
- Revitalise and intensively rehydrate
- Prevent the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, even in the most delicate areas, such as the neck or neckline
- Fill all zones of the face (periocular zone, crow's feet, tear troughs, cheeks, etc.) that have hollowed out.

    9.3.What happens during a hyaluronic acid injection session and how long does it last?

Depending on the product injected, the session lasts an average of 20 minutes (injection of a zone + massage of the zone injected)
During the injection session, your doctor will inject you with Hyaluronic Acid in gel form using a syringe. The injection is shallow, only penetrating a few millimetres.
