Hyaluronic Acid: Nature’s Best Moisturizer

Every so often the beauty industry reveals a new discovery that’s considered a game-changer. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one such development that has revolutionized how we treat aging skin. A natural sugar molecule we all have in our body, HA has the extraordinary ability to attract 1000 times its own weight in water. Replicated in a pharmaceutical setting, pure HA is 100% biocompatible with human tissue. When injected or applied topically to the skin it draws in moisture, helping to plump and hydrate the surrounding area. If you’re looking to add luster, elasticity and a beautiful glow to your complexion then consider HA as your next beauty treatment.

Juvederm Volite Skin Hydrators at Brockville MediSpa

Most people are familiar with HA in the form of dermal filler for enhancing lips and cheeks. A new type of HA treatment called Juvederm Volite works differently. It’s injected in tiny amounts all over the face (or other body area such as hands, the neck or decollete) to improve the skin’s appearance. In fact, it’s a powerful moisturizer that keeps your skin cells hydrated from the inside-out. Volite can give your complexion that beautiful dewy finish that you desire. More importantly, it can make your skin feel soft and supple, even during the cold winter months. This procedure has almost no downtime, and you can be back to your normal activities within a few hours. Another advantage is that you can see results almost immediately, and you can expect to enjoy your natural glow for up to nine months.

Topical Hyaluronic Acid Can Complement Volite Treatments

Waking up every morning to soft, hydrated skin is a beautiful feeling. Now you can enhance the experience even more with a lightweight HA gel such as Vivier’s Advanced Hydragel B5 Complex (available at Brockville Medispa). Why use a topical product as well? Simply stated, pure HA molecules instantly energize your complexion and help your skincare products function even better. There’s also a protective element thanks to pharmaceutical ingredients such as Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Topical HA skincare products can be incorporated as part of your daily beauty routine even if you haven’t decided on Volite treatments just yet.
