Healthy skin contains important components that keep it supple and young looking. One of these is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in all living cells that helps maintain skin volume by attracting and binding over 1000 times its weight in water. However, with time, sunlight and other factors, the hyaluronic acid in your skin diminishes, your skin loses volume and skin care becomes more difficult. At this point lines and wrinkles begin to appear faster.

Now you can temporarily replace your skin's lost hyaluronic acid using Hylaform® (hylan B gel). Hylaform is a dermal filler made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid that mimics the effects of natural hyaluronic acid. When injected just below the surface of the skin, Hylaform adds volume to the skin, smoothing unwanted lines and wrinkles.

Hylaform provides immediate, natural-looking results. Treatment and recovery usually take as little as one hour.

Hylaform can be used to smooth lines and wrinkles such as smile lines, marionette lines, the lines above your lip and frown lines between your eyes.

Over time, Hylaform gradually breaks down and is naturally reabsorbed by your body; therefore, your physician may recommend touch-up treatments two or three times a year to maintain optimal correction.
