Agingof your skin may be regarded as a
cellular process that is partially genetically determined, and partially
influenced by environmental factors (i.e. sun damage, air pollutants,
etc.). The most obvious changes in your skin due to aging include
wrinkling, laxity, dryness, and general thinning of the skin. Prominent
wrinkling is caused by the loss of dermal collagen content, and a
decreased rate of collagen production.
Decline in
the number of fibroblast cells results in less collagen production,
decreased concentration levels of growth factors, and thinner, wrinkled
skin. The rate of decline in fibroblast cell number and function is
increased by sun exposure, and recent studies have also shown that sun
damaged skin has 35% fewer blood capillaries than normal skin thus
is receiving less nutrients and oxygen than normal skin.
ReCapture Your Youthful Appearance with ReLuma:
Noticeable aging appears when the body's ability to maintain healthy
cells and repair mechanisms decline
Invitrx's Cytokine Core Technology uses the same cytokines that your
body already produces to supplement these declining processes
Cytokines and growth factors are protein or glycoprotein molecules
that signal cells to function at a healthier, younger level
In the case of Reluma, for example, cytokines and growth factors
stimulate skin cells to produce more collagen, elastin, and matrix
proteins that lead to smoother, younger, healthier looking skin
