SkinMedica and Growth Factor Technology

If you’re looking for groundbreaking scientifically based skincare products that slow the aging process by healing the skin from within, then you’ll want to try SkinMedica.

Established in 1999, SkinMedica began the development of growth factor technology just one year later in 2000 with a patent that proved to be revolutionary in age defense science.

It wasn’t long before SkinMedica and growth factor technology became synonymous.

What Is Growth Factor Technology?

To explain growth factor technology, it helps to understand first what growth factors are. Simply put, they are naturally occurring proteins produced in human, animal, and even plant skin cells.

Also known as cytokines, these proteins are responsible for keeping skin cells healthy, alive, and thriving. They also serve to communicate messages between other cells to promote growth and healing. Unfortunately, as we age, the production of cytokines declines.

There are ways to boost production though. Skincare experts and scientists have taken to the lab to cultivate growth factor proteins. When formulated properly, as they are in SkinMedica products, they boost the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan. And this is growth factor technology.

SkinMedica and Growth Factor Technology

From 2008 – 2013, SkinMedica was doing groundbreaking work with growth factor technology. They created an all-in-one skin rejuvenating treatment by combining serums and complexes with antioxidants, peptides, and other specialty ingredients. They also introduced a highly effective topical retinol product that renews skin to lessen the appearance of fine lines.

Then in 2011, they established a special clinic where cosmetic chemists and scientists could focus on developing innovative new products through clinical research studies. In the following years, they continued this science-based innovation by focusing on pre-clinical studies to comprehend complex biological systems. All of this to ensure that they stayed up with the latest information to keep developing revolutionary and high-quality products.

Continuing to Blaze a Trail

Over the past ten years, SkinMedica has forged ahead in the science of skincare with a clinical research site and laboratories. They upped the ante in sun protection with the creation of a revolutionary sunscreen that offers protection from both UV and infrared rays while simultaneously supporting the skin’s ability to restore itself.

They were also pivotal in understanding the importance of hyaluronic acid (HA) and its effect on overall skin health. This understanding helped them develop a product that provides immediate smoothing in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while supporting the skin’s ability to replenish HA. Further scientific advances from there included the development of a pigment correcting serum for a variety of skin types and ethnicities.

Finally, with the recent launch of the only growth factor product proven to address sagging skin, SkinMedica demonstrates the next-generation in growth factor innovation.

Given SkinMedica’s commitment to growth factor technology and top-of-the-line skincare products, one can only imagine where they’ll go from here.
