Do doctors use Hyaluronic acid to help their patients?
The answer is yes. Most of the work has been done in the field of orthopedics, eye surgery and cosmetic surgery. Hyaluronic acid has been directly injected by needle (viscosupplementation) into the affected joint. This has yielded great results by immediately increasing the joint lubrication fluid and increasing the viscosity. It has been used in eye surgery as a replacement fluid in the eye. It has been applied topically to wounds or severe burns to promote skin growth and reduce scarring.
