Patient’s Guide to Injectable Moisturising Treatment: An In-Depth Review
What is This Injectable Moisturising Treatment?
This non-surgical skin treatment uses concentrated hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that hydrates the skin and supports elasticity. As ageing reduces this compound, it results in dryness and sagging skin. This treatment works by injecting pure hyaluronic acid, which spreads evenly under the skin to boost hydration and collagen production. This results in smoother, firmer skin with a natural glow and minimal downtime.
What Sets This Treatment Apart?
This injectable contains a mixture of low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid molecules. The low molecular weight hyaluronic acid promotes biomodelling and reduces inflammation, whereas the high molecular weight hyaluronic acid promotes better elasticity and support.
It stands out due to its high concentration of ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, which bio-stimulates skin remodelling. It deeply hydrates and promotes collagen and elastin production without adding volume, resulting in natural, widespread improvements.
It is effective in addressing skin laxity, delivering smoother, tighter skin. Typically, two sessions spaced four weeks apart show visible improvements, though additional sessions may be recommended based on individual needs.
Combining This Treatment with Other Procedures
This injectable is a versatile treatment that can be combined with various cosmetic procedures to maximise skin rejuvenation.
Dermal Fillers: This treatment improves skin hydration and elasticity, while fillers restore volume to targeted areas. This approach improves overall skin texture and structure.
Neuromodulators: When paired with neuromodulator injections, this treatment hydrates and firms the skin while reducing lines and wrinkles. This combination addresses both skin texture and muscle-related wrinkles.
Microneedling: It boosts the hydration and collagen stimulation effects of microneedling, helping to improve skin smoothness and texture.
Thread Lifts: It provides hydration and firmness to areas treated with thread lifts, supporting both immediate and ongoing lifting effects.
Expected Results and Duration of Effects
Most patients notice improvements within 2 to 4 weeks of the first session, with smoother, firmer, and more hydrated skin. Optimal results are typically seen after the second session, usually scheduled 4 weeks later. The effects can last around 6 to 9 months, with maintenance sessions recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on individual needs.

Side Effects and Considerations
This injectable is generally safe, but some common side effects include mild redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites, usually resolving within a few days.
