Scientists tested if poking tiny amounts of a skin jelly (hyaluronic acid) under the skin with a special stamp-like tool could make dry skin feel better.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

Getting a shot of hyaluronic acid through a tiny stamp-like device on your skin seems safe — no serious side effects showed up in people who tried it for 12 weeks.
Using a tiny needle stamp to inject a skin-friendly substance called hyaluronic acid under the skin can make dry, aging skin much more hydrated after 12 weeks—better than using a fake treatment—and might be a good non-surgery way to fight dry skin as you get older.
Putting hyaluronic acid under the skin with a special stamp-like tool doesn’t make skin bouncier than using a fake treatment, which means how moist your skin is and how elastic it is might be two separate things.
When you inject hyaluronic acid just under the skin, it makes your skin feel more hydrated, bouncier, and smoother—and scientists use this as a gold standard to see if taking hyaluronic acid pills does anything similar.
