What is the definition or description of: hyaluronic acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sugar: Hyaluronic acid is a long chain polysaccharide, or sugar type of molecule. It is a naturally occurring substance that is a normal part of our body. It can be injected into the body to fill wrinkles. Our body eventually breaks the material down, so the effect is not permanent.
