What is Hyaluronic Acid (HA)?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance produced in the body. It is mainly used in skincare for its hydrating and plumping properties. It helps maintain the moisture in the skin. A single drop of HA can help the skin hold up to 6 liters of water which is excellent for keeping your skin hydrated for longer.

Why use HA for Skincare?

Skin Moisturizer: It is a valuable ingredient in keeping the skin moisturized.

Improve Skin Texture: Hyaluronic serum can make the skin texture smoother.

Anti-aging Effect: Our skin naturally loses its HA levels as we age, which can cause the skin to have wrinkles and fine lines. Using products with Hyaluronic acid can plump up the skin and reduce wrinkles.

Improve skin texture: Hyaluronic serum can improve skin elasticity and smoothness and give it a healthy glow.

Soothing Effect: Hyaluronic acid can provide much-needed hydration and heal the skin from within, soothing and reducing skin irritation and redness

Non-irritant: It is gentle for all skin types and sensitive skin.

What skin care treatments use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Serum?

It is beneficial to know that many aesthetic products may contain HA. These may include:

Serums: Hyaluronic acid serums are highly concentrated lightweight skincare products that promote hydration and collagen production. An effective solution for skin problems like dryness and aging.

Moisturizers: These skincare products combine the hydration and moisture-locking capabilities of HA and the nourishing & protective properties of moisturizers. Some potential benefits of using a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid include increased hydration, improved skin texture, elimination of fine lines and wrinkles, brightening, and skin protection.

Facial Treatments: Hyaluronic Acid Facials provide many benefits for the skin. Here are some examples of facials that use hyaluronic acid as a popular ingredient:

  • Moisturizing / Hydrating Facials: Typically use hyaluronic serum and hydrating masks. These facials provide hydration and moisture retention.
  • Rejuvenating / Anti-aging Facials: This includes the application of hyaluronic serum, chemical peel, and facial massage designed to slow aging, brighten the skin, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Collagen-boosting Facials: This facial treatment includes hyaluronic serum combined with ultrasound or derma pen to boost collagen production. It works deep within the dermis to halt the aging process and improve the appearance and texture of the skin.

Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers with HA help hydrate and plump the skin, and aid in contouring and adding volume to the skin.
