​Hyaluronic acid is the key to instantly plumping fine lines and making skin look glowy. It can be found in everything from serums to sheet masks and even injectables—but what exactly is it?

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar found naturally in our skin that holds water and helps keep it hydrated and plump. Just like collagen and elastin, the amount of naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid in our bodies decreases as we get older.

When used in skin care products like creams and serums, hyaluronic acid brings moisture to the surface of your skin. Because of its ability to draw and hold water, it can be used in your skin care regimen to continually keep skin moisturized and dewy looking throughout the day.

​​Exfoliation is the removal of dry/dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and is one of the most important aspects of your home skincare routine for face and body. Exfoliation not only helps many skin problems, it also increases blood circulation, which in turn helps you to achieve healthy and glowing skin.

Cold weather, too much sun exposure and the natural aging process can cause skin to look dull. Add this beneficial scrub to your skin regiment and see the difference.

Does it seem like some of your skincare products are reading more like a food label these days? With ingredients like enzymes, vitamins, probiotics, soy and more, the line between food and personal care is becoming blurry. The question is, do these ingredients do anything for your skin?

While there are many types of facials, enzyme facials have become very popular. Enzymes have two primary uses in skin care,  for exfoliation and anti-inflammation. Certain enzymes are effective exfoliants and can be a gentler option than other methods such as scrubs and microdermabrasion. The upper layer of your skin is mostly made of dead skin cells containing keratin protein. The enzymes work by specifically breaking down the keratin protein, resulting in smoother skin.

Our exclusive Enzyme Facial Treatment is designed to energize the skin cells with a unique rejuvenating enzyme process. The Enzyme Facial Treatment uses a blend of digestive enzymes, fruit acids, resorcinol, hydroxyacetic acid, herbal extracts and distillates. Call for your FREE cosmetic consultation and find out more about Enzyme Facials. $59 dollars now through August 15th.

Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a skin-rejuvenating procedure in which tiny needles create punctures in the top layer of skin with the goal of improving overall texture and appearance. Once an old-school beauty treatment, microneedling is making a comeback among both the skincare-obsessed and A-listers alike.

The treatment works well and is long-lasting which is why some use it proactively to combat wrinkles and fine lines as they first appear. Another noticeable benefit of microneelding is that It can help reduce pore size and improve texture adding a more even tone to the skin. By promoting collagen growth, microneedling may help reverse signs of aging (such as fine lines), fade acne scars, and make skin look refreshed.

Until the end of May Orland Park Plastic Surgery is running a special on Microneedling - $199. Call for your FREE cosmetic consultation and see how microneedling can improve the look of your skin.
