Wrinkle filling - hyaluronic acid

PROCEDURE:

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in human's skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is responsible for the right skin moisture and firmness as well as for the volume of subcutaneous tissue. With ageing skin gradually exhausts its natural deposits of hyaluronic acid. The skin loses support, becomes dry and slack, wrinkles and lines appear on the face.
