Who Benefits from Hyaluronic Acid?

Unlike other forms of skin care or surgery, almost everyone can benefit from hyaluronic acid. Because it is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body, even those with allergies or severe sensitivities to other products often tolerate hyaluronic acid without incident. However, the gentle yet extremely effective results have made HA one of the most popular – and fastest growing – beauty secrets used by upscale salons and dermatologists around the world.

Other candidates for hyaluronic acid include:

Surgical Candidates. Persons contemplating the surgical removal of lines and wrinkles may be well advised to try hyaluronic acid first. Not only is it more gentle and less likely to involve pain or other side effects, but it conditions and rejuvenates the basic matrix of the skin itself. DERMAdoctor’s Faux Fillment Instant line filler is the first hyaluronic acid topical capable of delivering temporary filler action without the use of painful injections. Faux Fillment contains microencapsulated molecules of ionically charged hyaluronic acid and fulvic acid that combine upon application to “supercharge” the HA, causing it to penetrate deeper into the skin and temporarily restore significant volume which smoothes wrinkles, lines, depressed scars and skin creases. Results with Faux Fillment typically last twenty-four to thirty-six hours. If the name seems familiar, chances are you have seen this fabulous product reviewed in Redbook, Women’s Day and Instyle Weddings.

Allergies or Sensitivities. Persons that are allergic to other injections – including the notorious side effects associated with bovine injections – often respond quite favorably to the use of topical or supplements that contain hyaluronic acid.

Aging Skin. Nearly everyone above the age of 40 is likely to have noticed a slight sagging or other skin tone problems associated with the loss of collagen. This is the first stage of tissue breakdown due to the loss of the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid. Supplementing with VitaMedica HA+A replenishes the storage of HA and reduces sagging that leads to wrinkles while providing complete protection with the VitaMedica HA +A Serum.

Scars or Inflammatory Damage. In addition to the ability to retain fluid, hyaluronic acid actually assists in nourishing the skin and removing damaged cells – both critical components in reducing the appearance of scars and other skin irregularities associated with inflammatory damage.

How to Buy Hyaluronic Acid

Purchasing HA is easier than ever thanks to a wide variety of products specially formulated for every need. The three major considerations to keep in mind include purity and potency. Don’t be mislead by inferior products that simply add hyaluronic acid to an existing formula; some contain as little as 1 percent simply in order to claim the product contains HA. Insist upon quality products that provide the right types and amounts of complementary ingredients to enhance your complete beauty regiment.

Purity. Hyaluronic acid supplements and topical applications should contain only the highest quality ingredients without the use of harsh fillers, dyes or other known irritants. Because HA is especially prized by those with sensitive skin, avoid any products that contain known allergens by reviewing the ingredient list prior to purchase. If you aren’t sure, simply take the time to contact DERMAdoctor’s customer care team for more information about any product.

Potency. Hyaluronic acid products vary by potency with a range from as little as 1 percent (in inferior products) to well over 75 percent. While it is important to purchase a HA product that contains enough to get real results, more isn’t always better – instead, purchase the right product for your skin type. For example, DERMAdoctor’s complete line of hyaluronic acid products are designed with every type of skin care in mind including:

• Kinerase HydraBoost – intensive treatment to rehydrate stressed, dry skin. With over 25 percent hyaluronic acid combined with a patented Kinetin ingredient that work together to form a “moisture magnet”.
• Peter Thomas Roth VIZ – 1000 – One of the most concentrated forumulations of hyaluronic acid available on the market, VIZ 1000 contains a concentrated 75 percent HA that keeps skin hydrated all day and night. Able to attract 1,000 times its weight in water, it is the ultimate topical application for dry damaged skin.
• Cellex – C Hydra 5 B-Complex – This oil-free clear gel combined the benefits of hyaluronic acid with the healing properties of vitamin B for maximum nourishment. Restore that youthful glow and nurture your skin in only three to six weeks. Great for all skin types and gentle enough for daily use.
• Viscontour Topical Hyaluronic Acid Serum – An excellent choice for those with sensitive skin, Viscontour Serum contains no animal proteins, preservatives or fragrances that can irritate skin. Oil free and non-invasive it is a simple yet convenient way to rehydrate and nourish skin.
