Stem Cells for Youthful Skin

Stem Cells for Youthful Skin

     Your skin’s capacity to replace dead skin cells with new ones is important to maintaining youthful-looking skin. This process of continuous self-renewal is governed by epidermal stem cells.  As we age, stem cell activity dramatically declines and the skin’s capacity for self-renewal diminishes.  Stem cells from plants grown in the high mountain regions of Europe may protect the skin from environmental stress and damage by activating epidermal skin cell activity.

     These plants grow where they have to endure high altitudes, extreme cold, dry air, and high levels of ultra-violet radiation.  The ability of these plants to withstand harsh environments prompted researchers to investigate using these plants as a source of protection for human skin cells.  Researchers found that applying selected plant stem cell extracts to the skin offers protection to the epidermal stem cells; which in turn prolongs cell life and enhances cell function.  These newly activated skin cells may then engage in their important functions of manufacturing proteins, collagen, and lipids needed to repair damaged skin, and help maintain skin elasticity.

     Skin care products are only effective if they are absorbed into the skin. Many cheap skin care products are missing key ingredients that allow the active ingredients to penetrate into the skin.  Micro needling is a new way to increase absorption of skin care products, and Stem Cell serum in particular. This is the same technology as is used in collagen induction therapy or CIT. At Alternatives you may purchase a medical roller for use at home, which increases the absorption of Stem Cell Serum and other recommended products by up to 80%!
