Aging skin at the cellular level appears marked by collagen fragmenting, inflammatory proteins, cross linked and
fibrotic tissue, poor cell configuration and cell differentiation, decreasing energy, among other signs, all of which can
be traced to DNA damage that has been ongoing.
The stimulation of natural skin repair functions is the predominant
approach to the reversal of the look of aging in skincare today. It is a fundamentally flawed idea that rapidly
depletes the skin.
At the other end of today's spectrum of conventional skincare are the protein based creams.
It is impossible for any protein, peptide, collagen, growth factor, enzyme or other large molecule constituent of our skin,
to be applied externally and thereby penetrate to skin the skin cells and become part of the metabolic process of the skin.
Large
molecules tend to collect on the surface and break down into smaller parts that can create the temporary look of erasing wrinkles.
This is a cosmetic and temporary use and not a solution to the underlying problem.
My treatment and product recommendations rely
on the metabolic model rather than the repair model to improve the look of aged skin. I seek to create a global
response that improves all aspects of skin functions, because it's not just the looks that are in need of help.
When the skin is fully functional, as it was when it was young, good looks follow. it is not the other way around which
is the practice of the repair model with an artificial, plasticine, even manikin look often the the outcome.
This
approach to reversing the look of aging points to the dermis and the epidermis and the junction of the two. The lipid,
BV-OSC, reduces blotches and pigment problems, rebuilds elasticity, increases resistance to sunlight damage and just all in
all the functions quite compatibly with the skin. It is a lipid form of vitamin C.
I chose treatments and
products that are well tolerated and works rapidly to restore cell integrity, reduce inflammatory protein formation, eliminate
fragmenting of collagen and improve the texture, feel and turgor of the skin.
