Beauty secret: Viscontour
| Dr. Virginia Stevens |  |
There's another specialty product that we have; that if I'm going to be on television, or say tomorrow The Travel Channel's coming to do their shoot and -- I'll give away the secret Viscontour, by the same people that make Sculptra.
Viscontour is hyaluronic acid that's packaged in little ampules, and it's really slick in that it's the same substance that's in your cells that attracts and binds moisture and makes the cells either plump, if you have the high hyaluronic acid, or not so plump, if you're aging and losing hyaluronic acid from your cells.
So if you put hyaluronic acid -- and I say "acid" because it's acid pH technically, but it's not very acidic so that it's a harsh acid, it's very gentle -- and put it on when you've got moisture on your face, like after a shower. So what you do is you use your Clarisonic skin cleansing brush to take all the debris off your face and you would lay down and put the Viscontour on your face.
And if you really want to really, really plump your skin up for like a special occasion or for a special event or for a photo shoot or whatever, you would use two ampules and let it sit on your skin, actually pool on your skin, and then wait for it to also get down into your neck.
It will sink into the pores, down into the dermis between the epidermal cells, and it will very much plump the skin out by around 30%, which is a lot. I mean, that's visible. Anything between 20 and 35% is visible to the naked eye. And it smooths the skin, plumps it out, makes it very radiant looking.
