What is a Hyaluronic Acid Injection?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your joints. It acts as a lubricant and shock absorber to help your knees move smoothly.
As we age or experience joint damage, the natural levels of hyaluronic acid in the knees decrease — leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced function.
This injection restores lubrication in the knee, allowing bones to glide more smoothly and reducing friction and pain.
How Does It Work?
-
A sterile gel-like solution (sodium hyaluronate) is injected directly into your knee joint
-
The solution mimics natural synovial fluid to improve joint movement
-
It helps cushion the joint, reduce inflammation, and delay the need for surgery
Most patients feel a noticeable improvement in pain and mobility within weeks, with effects lasting up to 6–12 months depending on the individual.

FAQ
How long do the effects of the injections last?
The duration varies by individual and treatment type. Hyaluronic acid injections typically provide relief for 6-12 months, while PRP therapy results can last 1-2 years. Many patients opt for periodic maintenance treatments.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We use topical anesthetics to numb the area before injection. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure, similar to a standard vaccination.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
We recommend taking it easy for 24-48 hours after the procedure. Most patients can return to light activities the next day and resume normal activities within a week, depending on the treatment and individual response.
