Skinprint Announces Breakthough

 Anti-Aging Plant Stem Cell

Technology

Malus Domestica Plant Stem Cells

Skinprint has identified brand new plant stem cell technology for the improvement of the look and feel of skin. These stem cells are derived form a cultivar of the Uttwiler Spatlauber apple.   The human epidermis contains skin stem cells at the epidermal-dermal junction in the skin. These cells determine longevity of the skin cells and are responsible for the rejuvenation of the skin. These stem cells are also sensitive to existing environment conditions like UV light.

Skinprint’s new Skinprint Stem Cell Serum activates and protects skin stem cells and delays cell senescence (terminal aging of skin cells).  In addition:

  • Results show protection of skin stem cells against UV-radiation

  • Increased activity of skin stem cells

  • decrease senescence markers in fibroblasts

  • reduction of skin fine lines and wrinkles

  • skin rejuvenation

  • combats chronological aging of the skin

Skinprint is offering this exciting new leading edge technology to its affiliated spas first and then will roll out the products nationally.  Skinprint was founded in 2002 and is growing rapidly in the US, Canada and Asia.

SKINPRINT APPLIES FOR PATENT ON PRE/POST LASER TREATMENTS

April 25th, 2008 Rmanzo Posted in Home No Comments »

Skinprint has completed clinical research identifying methodology and skin treatment products to enhance the efficacy and comfort of laser treatments.

Measuring specific hydration levels in the stratum corneum with a corneometer as well as barrier function via TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss) is critical in understanding optimal laser procedure outcomes.  There are specific ranges of stratum corneum hydration and barrier function levels (trans-epidermal water loss) which lead to less pain, better ablation, enhanced remodeling as well as shorter healing times when employing laser procedures on skin.

Once these measurements are taken and the need for improvement is identified before the laser treatment, a customized facial is performed to improve the skin before the procedure.  Then the patient will use a pre and post regimen.  The pre-regimen consists of a light foaming cleanser and a pre-laser lotion containing sodium lactate, a specific blend of occlusive and humectant moisturizing ingredients and liposomal ursolic acid to strengthen the skin barrier.

The post-regimen includes a post-laser light foaming cleanser to enhance corneocyte removal without damaging barrier and either a lotion or an ointment consisting of highly occlusive moisturizers, alpha bisabolol, allantoin and a standardized avenanthramide concentration.  This combination suppresses histamine reactions and limits the inflammation reaction post laser procedures

It’s All About Exfoliation

February 26th, 2008 Rmanzo Posted in Home No Comments »

 
You constantly hear about the new latest procedures in medical spa settings from microdermabrasions, lasers and chemical peels yet it is quite confusing. Many medical spa services including the ones mentioned above simply work on the principle of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This allows a new skin surface to be revealed which is smoother, clearer and more even toned. It is simply a question of how many layers removed, how much pain is involved and recovery time in the specific procedure.

Microdermabrasion can remove up to 3-5 microns and is fairly pain free yet doesn’t provide a significant effect in one procedure.  Chemical peels can be quite effective and can go quite deep (up to 50 microns) but can be painful.  Recovery time can be from 1 - 20 days depending on the type of peel obtained.  Microlaser peels are popular now and are quite effective and can go up to 150 microns deep with fractionalization.  The down time can be relatively short for the amount of skin removed.

Remember, one of the aspects of obtaining great skin is the removal of the appropriate level of dead skin.  Feel free to consult with Skinprint or your Skinprint affiliated spa to receive expert advise on what is best for you.

The very effecting marketing folks from the large cosmetic companies continue to categorize skin care products as oily, dry or The very effecting marketing folks from the large cosmetic companies continue to categorize skin care products as oily, dry or combination skin.

Idebenone

July 15th, 2007 Rmanzo Posted in Home, Latest Industry News No Comments »

There’s a lot interest in Idebenone lately through the marketing of some new cosmetic lines.  Idebenone is an anitoxidant ingredient that is present in a few products on the market.  It’s job is to “scavenge” or neutralized free radicals in the skin.  Free radicals are those nasty little molecules that can cause the break down of collagen, elastin, lipids and other good things in the skin.  While all this is a good thing….
