Long-term use of hyaluronic acid injections generally does not cause skin sagging. Hyaluronic acid fillers are primarily used to treat facial wrinkles and can be injected into deeper layers to correct skin depressions. The substance typically degrades after a period of time with virtually no residue, thus having minimal impact on skin sagging. Hyaluronic acid usually provides a lifting and firming effect and can effectively improve wrinkles when directly injected into the affected areas, resulting in tighter, more youthful-looking skin. Results are often visible immediately after injection.
