Do doctors use Hyaluronic acid to treat their patients?
The answer is yes. Hyaluronic acid has been directly injected by needle into the affected joints. This has yielded great results by immediately increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid and restoring proper lubrication and cushioning. More work has been done in the field of orthopedics, cosmetic and eye surgery. It has been used in eye surgery as a replacement fluid in the eye. Applied topically to wounds and severe burns, can promote rapid healing and reduce scarring.
