Hyaluronic Acid (HA) — you’ve seen the word or acronym tossed around or may have noticed it while researching skin care products. 

Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance found throughout the body, in our skin and connective tissues. It has an amazing ability to attract and hold large amounts of moisture which helps keep joints lubricated and skin supple. Because HA able to retain moisture, it keeps skin stable and constantly renewed which is what gives it such strong anti-aging properties.

[/av_heading] [av_textblock size=’15’ font_color=” color=”]

All skin is composed of Collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. Collagen is the structural framework of the skin, giving it strength and resiliency. Hyaluronic Acid is woven in between collagen fibers — it binds water giving skin a plump, hydrated, smooth youthful appearance.

As we age, the skin’s ability to produce Hyaluronic Acid unfortunately decreases. Its production starts to decline in our 20s and the decline accelerates in our 40s. As a result, skin becomes less pliable, losing its plump, dewy appearance.

Some Hyaluronic Acid products are designed to sit on top of the skin, filling in small lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother look. Others are designed to penetrate deep into the skin to actually add HA into the collagen framework and truly create plumper looking skin. 

Facial fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm are made of Hyaluronic Acid and designed to add volume and structure under the surface of the skin. These treatments can add increased volume to the face and lips and decrease the fine lines and wrinkles and can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler used.
