It has many functions, from giving the skin elasticity to lubricating joints. Hyaluronic acid can bind large amounts of water.

Hyaluronc Acids can be used to revitalise the skin, smooth wrinkles or enhance your facial contours or lips. The results can be seen instantly – and as the treatment is non-surgical.
The treatment is always commenced with a consultation to ascertain which filler will suit your needs best. A medical history form will be obtained and pain relief discussed. Every person has different preferences and sensitivity. Some of the fillers have anaesthetics built in, depending on which area you will have treated you will also have a choice of anaesthetic cream, dental block or ice.
