Hyaluronic Acid is a molecule naturally produced by your body to keep you moisturized and lubricated. Hyaluronic Acid is mostly found in your skin but can be in the connective tissues and the eyes. As a powerful humectant, it supports the healthy function of the skin which relies on adequate hydration levels.
As we age, the natural aging process, smoke, pollution, and exposure to the sun can decrease your Hyaluronic Acid in your skin. Lack of moisture is one of the main culprits of aging skin, it is a must-have in repairing your skin's moisture barrier. Lower levels of Hyaluronic acid can cause the skin to loose its reflective properties from light bouncing off hydrated skin. This gooey substance can draw moisture from the air, retain moisture up to 1000 its weight. 1 gram of Hyaluronic Acid holds up to 6 Liters of water.
Promotes healthier, supple skin
Creates a protecting barrier for the skin.
HA hydrates the skin giving a reflective properties from the light bouncing the skin.
Absorbs quickly into the skin
Helps wounds heal faster by regulating inflammation levels
antibacterial properties
HA is a form of GAG (glycosaminoglycan) which supports the collagen and elastin cells.
works well with Vitamin C, Vitamin B5
Some studies show that a lower weight molecular HA will help support the skin's synthesis of its own HA reserves by better absorption.
How Do Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Peptide Serums Improve Treatment Outcomes?
Low Molecular Weight (< 5 kDa)
By replenishing Hyaluronic messengers, it helps to visibly delay the appearance of aging sign.
The increased permeability of Low molecular weight HA plays an important role in tissue regeneration by maintaining the extra-cellular environment's integrity and balance.
Skin Concerns:
Restorative aging
Reparative Rejuvenation
Medium Molecular Weight (200-400 kDa)
Helps reduce the appearance of irritated, damaged skin. Medium molecular weight Hyaluronic Acids can mimic natural occurring Hyaluronic Acid by acting as signaling molecules interacting with the cells surface receptors and regulators during skin's reparative or proliferation process.
Skin Concerns:
Sun Damage
Scarring
Barrier Repair
Healing
High Molecular Weight (>1000 kDa)
Ultimate hydrator that soothes and calms the skin while reducing the appearance of redness and irritation, delivering long term intense hydration for smooth radiant skin.
Skin Concerns:
Post-procedure for intense soothing
Calming
Hydration
