pharmacokinetics | absorption | Hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the skin. It is not absorbed systemically but remains localized at the injection site. | distribution | Hyaluronic acid diffuses within the injected area and is distributed throughout the tissue. | metabolism | Hyaluronic acid is metabolized by the body through gradual breakdown and absorption. | excretion | Hyaluronic acid is broken down by enzymes in the body and gradually eliminated, which usually takes several months or even years. In some cases it is removed by hyaluronidase injection. |
