FAQs

Yes, all  Hyaluronic Acid Injections  require an appointment. Simply call our clinic or send through your referral via our appointment request form, and our friendly Booking Team will arrange a convenient appointment and provide any preparation instructions you may need before your visit.

A Hyaluronic Acid Injection is a sterile, gel-like product containing purified hyaluronan (sodium hyaluronate), a natural substance found in joint tissues and fluid. It acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, helping joints move smoothly. In osteoarthritis, cartilage wears down and hyaluronan levels decrease, reducing joint function. Hyaluronic Acid Injections help supplement this loss to support joint movement.

  • Relieves Joint Pain: Helps reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections are delivered over three sessions, spaced two weeks apart. At each appointment, you will receive a CT-guided Hyaluronic Acid Injection directly into the affected joint, administered in a sterile clinical setting. Maximum benefits are typically observed after completing all three injections, with relief lasting up to six months.

A member of our clinical team will explain the procedure and answer any questions before you begin. During the procedure:

  • CT imaging is used to accurately guide needle placement
  • The injection or treatment is performed quickly and with minimal discomfort
  • Most procedures are completed within a short timeframe


You may feel a brief sting from the local anaesthetic or mild pressure during the injection. In some cases, there may be a short-lived increase in pain when treating nerve-related conditions, which usually settles quickly.

After the procedure, the radiologist will prepare a report for your referring doctor.
