Chains of Hyaluronic Acid attract water, this increases soft tissue volume. Restylane® and Captique® are hyaluronic acids. Hyaluronic acid is part of the structure of normal, healthy skin.The role of hyaluronic acid is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding water, and to act as a cushioning agent. It diminishes with age. Adding Restylane® or Captique® adds structural volume similar to what is naturally found in the lips and skin.
