Procell PRO Cellular Renewal Serum and Healing Accelerator Serum Step 1 & Step 2
Procell PRO Cellular Renewal Serum and Healing Accelerator Serum Step 1 & Step 2 (30ml)
The ProCell Skin Care System is a complete, well-rounded, and comprehensive portfolio of ingredients that the skin requires and can utilize to maintain its ability to repair protect and defend the skin from everything that ages us. It is a simple to use, two-step, Serum and Accelerator combo that contains both water soluble actives and lipid soluble actives. Simplicity is what drives compliance, and compliance is what leads to beautiful, amazing, healthy results in skincare.
Whilst Procell’s Skin Care system is recommended to be used in conjunction with professional Microchanneling treatments it can also be used on an ongoing basis without having treatments as it is clinically proven to enhance skin appearance (texture, tone and elasticity) and provide protection against ongoing deleterious effects of aging.
“ProCell’s full line of serums contain a unique formulation of growth factors derived from stem cells found in human bone marrow. These growth factors are naturally anti-inflammatory, making them superior to other sources of growth factors such as adipose tissue stem cells or fibroblasts. ProCell’s growth-factor serums promote more youthful-appearing skin, and lead to quicker recovery times from procedures.”
Serum
The first step in the Procell Skin Care System is our Serum. Our Serum is a powerful, concentrated dose of water-soluble actives that flood the skin with the most anti-inflammatory and regenerative ingredients to prime the skin– optimizing the skin's ability to heal, regenerate, and produce quality types of collagen.
Growth Factors
The first ingredient key ingredient found in the Serum are recombinant (bioengineered) Growth Factors which are lab-produced proteins that present a more effective and consistent alternative to human or animal tissue as they produce a more precise, higher concentrated and more powerful serum— without the production of unnecessary inflammatory growth factors to filter out.
The body has an abundance of these growth factors in its youth, which is why it heals so well in its younger years. As the body ages, however, the amount of growth factors circulating the body declines which causes the body to heal less effectively. When these powerful protein molecules are applied topically, they instruct those skin cells to look and behave like they did in younger years. This process is anti-aging at its finest.
Niacinamide
Our next ingredient found in the Serum is Niacinamide– otherwise known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is an extremely powerful coenzyme that is involved in hundreds of biological pathways within the body. Its first activity is to increase the production of free fatty acids (otherwise known as Ceramides) within the skins barrier. These Ceramides are lipid molecules that help to protect the skin's top layer from water being released, ultimately dehydrating the skin. Free fatty acid production, including Ceramides, will keep the skin soft and supple.
An additional benefit caused by Niacinamide is the increase in protein synthesis or collagen it produces. Niacinamide has a unique ability to be involved in collagen production, allowing the skin to produce healthy, quality strands of collagen.
Finally, Niacinamide has the ability to reduce unwanted pigment in the skin by reducing the amount of melanin (the pigment granule found within the skin), from the cell that produces it (the melanocytes), to all the neighboring cells that presented at the surface of the skin, (the keratinocytes). Niacinamide has a wealth of benefits, and is found at a high, therapeutic dose in the Serum.
Carnosine
The next ingredient in the Serum is Carnosine. Carnosine is a unique botanical that has the ability to reduce anti-glycation end products. This is a body's ability for glucose or sugar molecules to attach to proteins, or in the case of skin, collagen molecules, allowing them to oxidize. This oxidation ultimately leads to lines and wrinkles. While Carnosine has the ability to reduce oxidation leading to a healthier environment within the skin, it also has a powerful antioxidant potential.
Swertia Chirata
Extracted from the leaves of an annual herb that is native to India, Swertia Chirata, uses the latest in stem cell technology to not only support the regeneration of skin cells, but also to help thicken and strengthen the epidermis for younger looking skin.
As we age, the production of keratinocytes, the skin cells that produce keratin as well as form a protective barrier against environmental toxins, slows, resulting in thinner, more fragile skin that’s less resistant to free radicals and more likely to show fine lines and wrinkles.
Swertia chirata – inspired by the latest technology in skin tissue research used to treat burn injuries - supports skin tone and texture by helping support the skin’s ability to manage the loss of keratinocytes while boosting production of additional keratinocytes, resulting in a thicker, stronger epidermis.
Regenerated skin cells result in surface skin that is less fragile and delicate, less likely to wrinkle and better able to manage free radicals, which damage skin cells and trigger wrinkles, dark spots and other signs of aging.
In clinical trials, Swertia chirata helped reduce the look of vertical wrinkles around the lips and reduced lipstick migration – which occurs when lipstick bleeds into fine lines surrounding the mouth.
Simmondsia Chinensis
Simmondsia chinensis, commonly known as Jojoba seed oil, is a valuable ingredient in skincare. It's a rich source of fatty acids and antioxidants, and its unique structure closely resembles human sebum, making it a highly effective moisturizer and emollient. Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn't clog pores, and is suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin.
Xylityl Sesquicaprylate
Xylityl Sesquicaprylate is a fascinating ingredient derived from the combination of xylitol and caprylic acid. Xylitol, a sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables, is commonly used as a sweetener. Caprylic acid, on the other hand, is a fatty acid derived from coconut oil and palm kernel oil. The history of Xylityl Sesquicaprylate in skincare is relatively recent, as the demand for multifunctional and naturally-derived ingredients has grown.
Xylityl Sesquicaprylate has antimicrobial properties, which means it helps to inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. It also acts as a humectant, drawing water into the skin and helping to keep it hydrated and helps to improve the appearance and feel of the skin making it softer, smoother, and more supple.
Xylityl Sesquicaprylate also has cleansing properties, which means it helps to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin ensuring that your skin is thoroughly cleaned without being stripped of its natural oils.
