Hey! Jenna here from Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan. Bringing you a down to earth and get-to-the-point blog from the heart of the warehouse district.

Today I want to talk about all of the hype around Hyaluronic Acid. If you’re already a client of mine, you already know the benefits and have likely already implemented it into your daily skin care routine. I know that sometimes when people hear the world “acid” they want to run, but I promise acid doesn’t have to be a scary thing! Hyaluronic Acid is actually a natural acid that our skin already produces!

Having hyaluronic acid in your everyday skin care regime boasts many benefits such as:
 It boasts Collagen and Elastic production
 It is intensely moisturizing
 It is water soluble which means that our skin absorbs it efficiently and it doesn’t just sit on our
face.
 It helps aid in the recovery and healing of skin
 It is a great anti-aging tool as it helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and superficial
wrinkles.
 It is great for ALL skin types!

I have two different medical grades of Hyaluronic Acid that I use with all of my clients during their treatments. What I mean by that is I have a medical grade micronized hyaluronic acid that I use specifically for microneedling treatments. As I microneedle you I am also putting hyaluronic acid directly into your skin to help with the healing, collagen & elastin production and add intense moisturizer. I also have a more generic medical grade for less invasive treatments and as retail.

​Medical grade retail price is $75.00 and will last you anywhere from 3-6 months. You only need a about a dime size to efficiently cover your entire face.

Another hyaluronic acid treatment I have is the Silk Sheet Mask. I use these sheet masks on myself
weekly, as well on clients after microneedling, chemical peels or simply because I deem it necessary to add to their treatment and/or future treatments.

Hyaluronic Masks are $15.00 each. They are extremely saturated so even after you use the mask, there is about half an inch of hyaluronic acid in the package that you can use for the remainder of the week!
