From hyaluronic acid fillers to hyaluronic acid skin care products, this naturally occurring substance is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after ingredients in the beauty industry. But why? What are the real benefits of hyaluronic acid for your skin? Hyaluronic acid can help keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated, refreshed, and healthy. In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the many ways hyaluronic acid can help keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated, refreshed, and healthy. So don’t worry, just be hydrated!
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
topical vs injectABLE
HA fillers help replace lost volume as we age. These filler injectable treatments provide an immediate lifting and tightening effect that can last up to two years. Most filler is composed of hyaluronic acid, that wears off safely over time. When injected into areas where the skin has become thin or wrinkled, it helps retain moisture and give your complexion a more youthful appearance. The most common areas to be injected with a HA filler is the lips, lower face and cheek area.
However, if you don’t want to go the invasive route, you can also try incorporating hyaluronic acid into your daily skin care routine. Topical HA is NOT going to be as effective and immediate as filler, but it will help with skin hydration and plumpness. When applied topically (as a serum or cream) HA can increase skin hydration levels. By increasing moisture levels, this plumps the surface of our skin helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. There are many great HA topical skin care products, but one of our favorite’s is SkinMedica’s HA5.
Both topical and injectable hyaluronic acids are becoming increasing more popular treatments. They are being used together to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and giving your skin an instant glow.
why use at home and in office?
You are going to see immediate results with your filler treatment in office, with the filler instantly plumping those deep creases or adding instant volume to those hollow areas. We need to help maintain those results by treating your skin topically at home. HA helps keep skin hydrated and looking healthy. Unlike some other ingredients in skin care products that can irritate the skin and create reactions, HA is already found in your own body and safe for almost any skin type. Therefore, we think it is best to do both, in office and at home HA treatments. With regular use, HA can make a huge difference in improving the overall health and appearance of your skin!
