Hyaluronic Acid Fountain-of-Youth for Your Skin
Drenching your skin with products that contain hyaluronic acid provides more than just moisture…it may be an elixir of youth! Today’s skincare clients understand that for a healthy complexion it is important to schedule routine visits to your skincare specialist – and just as important to include beneficial ingredients in your home regimen. There’s one ingredient that is found in both professional spa services and topical products used at home: hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a component of connective tissue that is found throughout the body, mainly in joints and lower layers of the skin. Its key function is to cushion and lubricate cells. In the skin’s dermis, it is found between skin cells, where it has a protective function and is involved in tissue repair. Hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient in anti-aging technology for skin care products. It is also the main ingredient in dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm, which help plump and add volume to the skin, to fill in fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, the body’s natural reserve of hyaluronic acid is depleted. This is one reason why skin can look visibly parched and crepey in later years. Spa treatments that use products with hyaluronic acid and other protein powers (such as phyto-peptides) can leave complexions looking and feeling younger and firmer. Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in the health of collagen, a protein that strengthens and supports the skin. This nutritious gel substance is needed to keep the collagen well lubricated and supported structurally in the dermis.
When we introduce our skin to the best ingredients available to refresh and rejuvenate, it is stimulated to repair and replenish itself.
The Power-Peptide Facial incorporates the potent Hydra Gel Serum that contains the acid necessary to work with the collagen, creating a perfect environment for the growth of new cells.
