How Hyalgan Injection Works

Hyalgan Injection is the salt form of hyaluronic acid. In bone disorders (osteoarthritis), it works by reducing friction in the joints and helps them work smoothly. Hyalgan Injection also has an antiageing effect. When injected into the skin (on the face most often), it works by hydrating the skin, enabling it to retain more water. This creates a filling/plumping effect and potentially fights wrinkles and other signs of aging.
