Where this comes from

Abstract

Injectable synthetic hyaluronic acid is biodegradable and biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid. Soft tissue augmentation with this product does not require prior skin testing and provides robust augmentation. Its ability to attract and maintain significant amounts of water accounts for the volume and duration of correction that persists until the stabilized gel is completely metabolized.
