Hyaluronic acid, the molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water, occurs naturally in our body but levels starts to deplete after the age of 26 years. Given that hydrated skin means plumper skin, losses in hyaluronic acid contribute to visible ageing – which is where Volite does the magic by providing dermal hydration. It is administered via a number of injections just into the superficial skin, using a very fine needle. Usually topical anaesthetic will be used in advance to make the treatment more comfortable.
