Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic, meaning it draws and holds water from your body, so acts as a hydrator rather than filler. This makes it fantastic for those with tired, dull-looking skin, transforming it into firm and luminous skin. This effect takes place within 3-5 days of treatment.
Over the next few weeks collagen and elastin production is stimulated, producing a secondary effect of skin tightening. This is useful because levels of collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid in the skin rapidly drop from the age of 25, resulting in signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and lacklustre skin. It acts to reverse some of these changes. The maximum effect is usually seen 2 months after the second treatment.
