It won’t come as a surprise if you have already heard about Hyaluronic Acid. What is it? This substance has become a very popular ingredient in current skincare products and treatments.
It also has its roots dig deep in the famous HydraFacial Treatment at our Downtown Toronto spa.
Now, the name might throw you off but keep your grounds because even though the name indicates, Hyaluronic Acid is not an acid in its literal sense.
It belongs to the family of humectants, which are substances with the ability to draw and hold water. This remarkable ability that comes from this family is what makes it an excellent product to plump up your skin.
Let’s explore it in detail.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
In-depth studies have classified this ingredient as a sugar molecule found naturally in one’s body. It beholds a gel-like consistency and texture that helps skin plump and keeps eyeballs in shape.
They say ageing is a cruel reality and it is true. As we age, along with other important proteins the Hyaluronic Acid in our body also tends to decrease.
This decrease itself develops wrinkles and sagging. This also makes skin dry with the loss of natural moisture.
The Pairing of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid pairs well with retinol, peels, and vitamins. You will find all these ingredients expertly used in our Yorkville HydraFacial Treatment provided at our Toronto Spa.
Why is it Essential for Skin?
As mentioned above, this substance comes with an exceptional power to draw and hold water. Proven research has shown that it can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
Our skin needs this ingredient to stay hydrated and plump. Moreover, it is an excellent fighter for wrinkles.
Sure our body naturally produces molecules of Hyaluronic Acid but as we age the rate of it decreases significantly. Not only that but the amount produced is relatively small than to what our skin required.

How to Use It?
When using Hyaluronic Acid always make sure to use the right product. Many types of this ingredient come with large weight molecules that are harder to penetrate deeply into the skin. Hence, such products are not very effective when it comes to making a difference in skin’s appearance.
If it doesn’t penetrate, it will just adhere to the skin surface without working its magic. For this reason, we recommend using a product with lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid.
The deeper it penetrates the more effective result it will yield.
Another factor that you need to be cautious about while applying hyaluronic acid to your skin is the fact that if used incorrectly it will very much make your skin dehydrated.
The great dermatologists and practitioners at Glow Bright Med Spa in Toronto recommend and ensure to apply the product on slightly damped skin.
Use a heavy moisturizer to safely trap the hyaluronic acid and water to give your skin a beautiful glow and plump.
