Have you ever wondered why hyaluronic acid has become a “must-have” in beauty routines? It is a very powerful active ingredient when it comes to retaining moisture, which is why it shines so brightly in the world of cosmetics and facial beauty treatments. But beyond being a trendy component, do you know what it is, what benefits it provides and why it has become an essential component?
In this article we reveal all the secrets of hyaluronic acid and its great virtues for your skin.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our body (in joints, cartilage and skin), which is why it is usually well tolerated, without causing skin irritation or rejection. One of its main properties is that it is a humectant, which means that it has the ability to absorb water and helps to maintain and retain hydration in the skin. This factor is what makes it so attractive for facial creams and treatment formulas, as it makes skin look more hydrated, smoother and softer.
Benefits of hyaluronic acid
As it is present in our body, it is a very compatible and effective ingredient.
Among its main advantages, in addition to boosting hydration, it helps to:
– Smooth the surface.
– Provide a protective layer that helps the skin retain moisture.
– Improve skin elasticity.
Thanks to these features, your face will look smoother and rejuvenated, and fine lines will be softened.
Every skin is different, so it is important to find the right formula to suit your needs. It can be used on dry or combination skin that needs extra hydration. However, it can also be used on oily skin. Though oily skin may already have an greasy feel to it, this may be due to dehydration caused by a lack of water. In this case, hyaluronic acid will help to balance the skin as it is a light molecule that does not worsen its oily tendency.
Although, as we said, hyaluronic acid is an element that we have naturally in our body, its levels decrease over time. As a result, our skin may look dehydrated, making fine lines and wrinkles more visible, with a rough and dull texture. For this reason, it is advisable to have a treatment that boosts its properties in order to look redensified skin for a longer period of time.
Hyaluronic acid facial treatments in Andorra
Andorra Health Destination works with partner clinics that offer hyaluronic acid treatments. If you want to provide your face, or other parts of your body, with a boost of hydration, on our website you will find the care and clinics that work with this active ingredient. However, to make it easier for you, we have listed the treatments available to our partners below.
Quantum Clinic Glow Treatment
If you want to take care of your face, removing the tired and dull appearance of the skin, and preventing ageing and the appearance of wrinkles, we recommend this treatment which is carried out in 4 phases:
– It starts with a facial cleansing using Aquapeel, an electroporation technique that helps the products penetrate the skin and which, through microcurrents, tightens the skin and regenerates its elasticity.
– It continues with a radiofrequency session to reduce the small wrinkles of the skin. This technique is considered a mini-lift. After the first session, the first results are already visible.
– The next session is a facial mesotherapy, where vitamins and hyaluronic acid are injected into the dermis.
– It is finished with LED therapy which regenerates the collagen fibres of the skin.
This treatment is carried out at the Quantum Clinic in Andorra, located in Escaldes-Engordany. It has a team of professionals specialised in aesthetic medicine techniques that take care of both face and body. Book your Glow treatment and show off your rejuvenated skin.
