Hyaluronic Acid-the acid everyone needs

Who doesn’t want plump and youthful looking skin?

Ways to use hyaluronic acid:

  • In a serum

  • In a moisturizer

  • In a pill form

  • Facial treatment

Hyaluronic acid was once used in the burn center to treat burn victims. Research showed that not only did the burn victims heal twice as fast as others who did not use HA. BUT- the skin around the burns that was also being treated appeared more plump and youthful. Today, HA is one of the most sought after skin care products.

Facts:

The most powerful humectant (aka, moisture binding molecule) that keeps skin hydrated.

  1. HA is used in lip filler! Bring on the juicy lips (hehe)

  2. Dermatologist recommend HA for thinning hair, dry scalp and increasing hair strand thickness

  3. Some physicians inject HA for pain relief -usually knee pain

  4. HA maximizes the bodies collagen levels by keeping collagen synthesis up

  5. HA keeps skin supple by retaining the skins moisture

  6. Just like lotion helps “hydrate” our skin, HA is a barrier for our skin…preventing moisture loss through our day to day activities
