Hyaluronic Acid Joint Injections (OSTENIL®)

OSTEOARTHRITIS and PAIN

Joint pain and stiffness due to OSTEOARTHRITIS can have such a negative impact on our lives. Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear in the joint.

Traditionally steroid/cortisone injections have been used to help relieve these symptoms but recent MEDICAL EVIDENCE now suggests that hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are MORE EFFECTIVE

SYNOVIAL JOINTS

The SURFACES of synovial joints are covered with a layer of SYNOVIAL FLUID that SEPARATES, LUBRICATES and PROTECTS the joint cartilage from wear and tear. The most important component of synovial fluid is HA. When there is osteoarthritis in a joint, the HA level is LOW, meaning less LUBRICATION and PROTECTION – leading to pain and progression of the wear and tear.

OSTENIL® PLUS

OSTENIL® PLUS is a solution containing HA that has been developed specifically for the treatment of osteoarthritis. It can be injected into the KNEE, or any other SYNOVIAL JOINT(shoulder, hip, fingers, toes) to decrease pain and stiffness.

Great news – the HA joint injection OSTENIL® PLUS is now available at SkinGenius

How does OSTENIL® PLUS work?

By injecting OSTENIL® PLUS into the JOINT SPACE, the HA SYNOVIAL FLUID barrier is restored and can help DECREASE PAIN and STIFFNESS in the joint.

Treatment with OSTENIL® PLUS

These injections are usually performed by an orthopaedic surgeon in a hospital clinic following a referral by your GP. It is unlikely you will notice any benefits straight away, but you should gradually begin to feel a reduction in pain and stiffness over the following FEW WEEKS, which is likely to continue for upto NINE months.

How much does it cost?

A single ostenil joint injection = £200 (including the consultation price)

Two joints = £380 (including consultation)

Smaller joint (fingers/toes) = £125
