What should you know about Nip + Fab hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a water-binding substance found naturally in the body. In a serum or cream, it is applied to the skin and can make dry or tight skin feel more comfortable. It does not numb an injury, repair a torn tendon, or treat arthritis when used on the skin.

A product label may describe a cosmetic formulation, while an injection involves a sterile medical product placed into a specific area by a trained clinician. These uses should not be treated as interchangeable.

Follow the product directions, apply it to clean skin, and use a moisturiser afterward if the formula leaves your skin feeling tight. Test a small area first if your skin reacts easily, and stop if burning, swelling, or a persistent rash develops.

If you are considering treatment for joint pain, discuss the diagnosis, the target joint, and expected alternatives with a clinician. Learn more about the ingredient in [Hyaluronic Acid](/materials/hyaluronic-acid/) and the separate procedure in [Hyaluronic Acid Injection](/treatments/non-surgical-orthopedics/hyaluronic-acid-injection/).

Seek prompt medical advice for a hot, markedly swollen, or suddenly painful joint, or for inability to bear weight after an injury. For skin use, seek help for facial swelling, widespread hives, breathing difficulty, or symptoms that continue after stopping the product.

Ask whether your pain is coming from a joint, tendon, muscle, or skin problem; whether an injection is appropriate for the diagnosed condition; and what warning signs should change your plan.
