What Are Growth Factors?
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cellular functions, including cell growth, proliferation, and healing. In skincare, they help repair damaged skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. My chosen brand to use in-clinic is AnteAGE.
Why AnteAGE?
AnteAGE is a leader in growth factor technology, utilizing human bone marrow stem cells, known for their potent anti-inflammatory and healing properties. This unique approach promotes natural skin rejuvenation while minimizing irritation and downtime, making it suitable for all skin types. AnteAGE’s growth factors are sourced from bone marrow stem cells, which produce anti-inflammatory cytokines, leading to a balanced and effective healing response. This makes them ideal for use in conjunction with procedures like Microneedling which intentionally create controlled micro-injuries to stimulate rejuvenation. By integrating AnteAGE into these treatments, you not only maximize results but also minimize recovery time, enabling you to enjoy radiant, youthful skin faster than ever before.
How AnteAGE Complements Advanced Skin Treatments
Microneedling + AnteAGE Growth Factors
Microneedling involves creating micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production. When paired with AnteAGE Growth Factors:
Enhanced Healing: The growth factors accelerate the skin's healing process, reducing redness and downtime.
Boosted Collagen Production: The combination enhances collagen synthesis, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.
Improved Absorption: Microneedling increases the absorption of growth factors, maximizing their efficacy.
Recommended Frequency: Once a month for 3–6 sessions, depending on individual skin concerns.
RF Microneedling (Dermaforce) + Growth Factors
RF Microneedling takes traditional microneedling to the next level by incorporating radiofrequency energy, which heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. When combined with AnteAGE:
Accelerated Tissue Remodeling: The growth factors enhance the skin’s regenerative process, leading to faster and more noticeable results.
Enhanced Firmness and Elasticity: The added stimulation from RF, combined with the collagen-boosting properties of growth factors, results in tighter, more lifted skin.
Reduced Inflammation: AnteAGE’s anti-inflammatory profile helps minimize post-treatment redness and swelling.
Recommended Frequency: Every 4–6 weeks for 3–4 sessions.
Chemical Peels + AnteAGE Growth Factors
Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting new cell turnover. Pairing them with AnteAGE Growth Factors offers:
Faster Recovery: Growth factors accelerate the healing process, reducing peeling time and discomfort.
Enhanced Skin Renewal: The combination boosts cellular regeneration, enhancing the overall texture and tone of the skin.
Reduced Risk of Hyperpigmentation: By calming inflammation, growth factors minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Recommended Frequency: Every 4–6 weeks, depending on the peel's intensity and skin type.
Expected Results:
Smoother Texture and Even Tone
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Enhanced Firmness and Elasticity
Aftercare:
Follow a consistent bespoke skincare routine. You will have an Alumier and/or Obagi plan provided to you via email. You can purchase through the online portals or directly from me in-clinic.
Sun protection should always be applied no matter what the weather. Newly rejuvenated skin (especially post-microneedled skin) requires extra protection to support it during the wound healing stage. Ensure its a physical, broad spectrum SPF
Schedule your maintenance sessions as advised. This is VITAL in ensuring your results remain 'topped up'.
