Fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin
texture are commonly assumed to
be an inevitable result of aging. This
belief, however, is not accurate.
Most of these changes are caused
by a loss of collagen and elastin in
the skin due to cumulative sun exposure
and environmental damage. In fact,
90-95 % of perceived aging is due to sun
damage. Coupled with a decrease in
cellular turnover with age, the result is
dull, lax, and wrinkled skin.
Key Causes of Visible Signs of Aging:
- Loss of Collagen -
- Sun Damage -
- Loss of Elastin-
Did you know?
By the time someone is in their 60-70's,
they have lostas much as 40-60% of
the collagen in their dermis,
resulting in lost strength, volume
and wrinkles.
The Key to Addressing Aging Skin
Resurface the skin with key ingredients
like retinol and multiple targeted acids
and rejuvenate the skin with advanced
ingredients like growth factors,
hyaluronic acid, cycloastragenol and
antioxidants.
Pairing the right skin care along with skin
texture treatmentsfor additional
resurfacing to dramatically improve the
appearance of texture, fine lines and
wrinkles and minimize or prevent additional
future damage.
Key Ingredients to Combat Aging Skin:
Skin Resurfacing Acids
Exfoliating your skin with
resurfacing technologies
including Alpha Hydroxy
Acids (AHAs) like
glycolic acid, Beta Hydroxy Acids
(BHAs) like salicyclic acid
have been shown to assist the
cellular turnover process by
removing dry skin cells,
helping to thin our the upper
layer of the skin as well as support
production of new collagen
and elastin. Glycolic acid can also
hydrate the skin and enhance
collagen and elastin
production to create more volume.
Retinoids
Retinoids, like all trans-retinol,
stimulate collagen production and
thicken the dermis to reduce the
appearance of wrinkles but not all
retinoids are created equally.
The type of retinoid, the
concentration and the
manufacturing process directly
affect the efficacy and result
of the final product.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is essential for multiple
reasons! It is a powerful antioxidant
that helps prevent environmental
aging in the skin, predominantly
caused by sun exposure. The skin
also needs Vitamin C to continually
make collagen, to maintain
firmness and for overall growth
and repair for skin health.
Peptides & Growth Factors
Peptides and growth factors serve
as building blocks for
collagen and elastin in the skin.
They react to specific receptor
sites so they can trigger and signal
more effective skin functioning,
helping skin to act in a younger
way. They assist in correcting some
of thecellular behavior that has
occured as a result of aging and
therefore help with the skin's
healing and repair to build collagen
& elastin to improve skin's overall
quality including the skin's texture
and elasticity.
