Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding substance naturally present in the skin. As a filler it is used for hollow cheeks, nose-to-mouth lines, lip volume and the jawline. That it can be dissolved with a specific enzyme if needed is an important safety feature.
Adding too much volume to one area of the face can upset its balance. That is why we start with less and, if needed, complete it at the two-week check-up.
