Skin Care Ingredients & Facts – sh-Oligopeptide 1

/in , , /by
Sh-Oligopeptide-1 is a peptide also known as Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF). It stimulates the expression and growth of some of the most sophisticated epithelial cells found in mammalian biology called “Keratinocytes” that make up the epidermal layer of your skin. An Oligopeptide may be technically simpler than a polypeptide, (“oli” meaning “a few”, and “poly” meaning “many”) because it consists of fewer amino acids than a polypeptide. But oligopeptides can be capable of more or less sophisticated activities than polypeptides. It all depends on the combination of amino acids involved, the signalling potential that’s orchestrated, and the cells and organelles involved! Epidermal Growth Factor enables one of the most significant cascades of activity of all the growth factors because the barrier function of your skin is essential to your health, and even your life!

Sh-Oligopeptide 1 is a member of a group of peptides known as growth factors. Growth factors stimulate  cell division, growth, and differentiation. In epithelial cells like we find in your skin EGF is tone of the keys to cell turnover and your skin cycle.

By the way, epithelial cells are cells designed to form a protective barrier over various organs including your dermis. Heat, light, sensations, irritants, gases and even pathogens must cross this boundary in order to effect your bodily organs. Epithelial cells come in several shapes like: cubes, columns, hair like, irregular and and “squamous” (flat) in your skin. These amazing protective barriers, (liker the epidermal layer on top of your dermis that forms what we call your “skin”) can be just one cell thick around some organs or, like your epidermis, constructed of several layers.

When included as an ingredient in skincare products Sh-Oligopeptide-1, (Epidermal Growth Factor, or EGF) has been shown to accelerate wound healing and collagen production. It can also visibly reduce dark and brown spot, and even reduce acne breakouts by what is believed to be its contribution to the improvement of the epidermal barrier.

How May Procell Improve Active Acne Breakouts?

A double cleanse and a pass over the skin with a disinfectant means your clients skin is never cleaner than just before Procell Treatment. Then Procell’s microfilaments actively release clogged pores that may contain acne bacteria just waiting to cause a breakout. And application of Procell’s Microchannel Delivery Serum introduces interleukins known to be anti-bacterial.

Post care application of Procell’s MD Grade #1 Cellular Renewal Serum and #2 Healing Accelerator continue to protect against bacterial infection, while a new motivation for, and a better understanding of good care habits can lead to reduction, and even elimination of future acne breakouts.

Finally, a series of 6 or more treatments (once per month)  can result in better barrier function in the epidermis, increased blood supply, and better sebaceous gland behavior & better lymphatic drainage which can all contribute to preventing future breakouts.

Contact us or call Eight Hundred – 551-5582 to find out more about how Procell can improve the visible signs of premature aging.

POLY – LED Light Therapy

/in , /by

POLY uses red, blue, and infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) to treat various skincare concerns. LED can be used to treat acne, combat aging, and reduce inflammation. Since there are no ultraviolet rays being used, there is no risk of skin damage or burns.

POLY has a unique 5-panel LED head that contours around the treatment zone to get maximum efficacy. Each head is used for a specific purpose:

The red LED panels increase the production of collagen to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, reduce inflammation, and simulates blood flow.

For clients with acne, the blue LED attachment is used to reduce the amount of oil the skin produces and to kill acne causing bacteria to keep breakouts at a minimum.

Infrared LED is the longest wavelength POLY has to offer. This attachment heats the body’s tissues to increase blood flow. By doing so, the body will heal injuries quicker and can provide relief for conditions such as arthritis.

Treatments typically last between 15 and 20 minutes, but can be longer depending on treatment. POLY can also be integrated into other cosmetic treatments such as Microchanneling, IPL, microdermabrasion and many others to help get faster results!

The POLY Go is the hand-held version so you can get LED therapy without leaving the comfort of your home! POLY Go also has a red, blue, and infrared attachment so your whole family can get the treatment they need.
