NuGene Skin Care System - General Introduction

NuGene Skin Care System

NuGene Skin Care System Dramatic Transformation with Cosmeceutical Formulation - Introduction

NuGene is a revolutionary skin care line setting new performance standards for skin care. Decades of laboratory research have produced true breakthroughs in molecular and cellular biotechnology, technology you can now find in NuGene, technology that works by giving the scientists at NuGene the unprecedented power to produce, isolate and add a biologically active amount of naturally occurring proteins to NuGene. These proteins are called ‘growth factors,’ and currently as of May 2007, NuGene is the only skin line which has biologically active concentration of them.

These biologically active ingredients mean NuGene can do what others can’t. It can actually regenerate and repair cells, and impede aging skin. With these growth factors, NuGene fights your aging at the cellular level. It even promotes cellular regeneration. The result is the world’s first scientifically effective skin care program – one that helps your skin to stay young, look radiant, and feel velvety soft.

What are Growth Factors?

Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins capable of stimulating cellular growth. They are made by a variety of cells, including skin cells. Each growth factor has a unique function. For example. EGF increases the proliferation of fibroblast, which synthesizes collagen and elastin and IGF – 1 increases the synthesis of hyaluronic acid. The overall effect of these growth factors is an in crease in skin elasticity and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Why use Growth Factors in NuGene Skin Care System?

Human skin is a living organ which performs dynamic activities such as growth, repair, and maintenance. Even though our skin requires growth factors as key modulators of skin cell metabolism and function, their expression level deceases with aging process. This slows skin’s renewal rate and diminishes its ability too defend itself. But if aged or damaged skin is nourished with other growth factors – like those in NuGene – its elasticity, plasticity and overall beauty will improve because of its accelerated rejuvenation process. Essentially, NuGene helps your skin take care of itself like it did when you were much younger.

Are NuGene Skin Care Products Safe?

The Human Growth Factors are completely safe. They are 100% identical to human proteins: therefore no allergy reaction is expected from topical application. NuGene skin care products have been clinically proven to be safe.

What else is in NuGene Skin Care System?

Along with the breakthrough growth factors, NuGene also includes anti–oxidants that protect you against free radicals and UV rays, both major factors in aging skin. NuGene also has multi – vitamins, amino acids and minerals to support the youthful texture of the skin, along with moisturizing ingredients to help it hydrate.

Who should use NuGene Skin Care System?

NuGene skin care system is beneficial for both young and mature skins. These products are designed to prevent the aging of the skin and even reverse the signs of aging for both men and women. NuGene is for anyone who wants to improve the health and appearance of their skin.

Are Growth Factors the same as the Growth Hormone?

No, they are not. Growth hormone is a single protein made by the pituitary gland and released into the blood stream. The main function of the growth hormone is to stimulate the growth of musculoskeletal tissue. This hormone is critical during the childhood and puberty and its severe deficiency results in dwarfism. In contrast, growth factors are a family of proteins that are produced in small amount by a variety of cells. They usually act in their microenvironment and on the neighboring cells. They stimulate the proliferation and protein synthesis in their target cells.

What is the Science Behind NuGene?

1- Human GROWTH factors: NuGene is the first brand in skin care products, which uses a variety of Human Growth Factors in its products in biologically active concentrations.

2- Mass production of growth factors: Using cutting edge science of molecular biology, we were able to mass-produce a variety of Human Growth Factors. With patented technology, we achieved an exceptionally high yield rate and superior quality. This purification technique allowed us to use effective doses of these growth factors in out skin care system.

3- Nano-capsulation: Nano-capsulation is a unique technology in which the growth factors (the active ingredients) are embedded within a sphere. The outer layer of this sphere consists of components similar to those found in cell membrane. This would dramatically enhance the penetration of growth factors into the skin cells. Furthermore, it will prevent the growth factors from becoming degraded by proteases present in the mixture.

Genetic-based Synthesis of Growth Factors:

Using recombinant DNA technology, human growth factors are manufactured by transformed bacteria. Using a patented technology in bacterial secretion system and novel methods in purifying the growth factors, we have been able to increase the yield and enhance the quality of the recombinant growth factors significantly. This allowed us to add the purified growth factors to the NuGene skin care system in biologically meaningful quantities.

Chemical Syntheses of Peptides:

Peptides are mad of individual amino acids that are linked together with peptide bond. Through our extensive research, we have discovered a number of peptides which mimic the function of the naturally produced growth factors in the human body.
The advantage of using peptides over growth factors is their stability in a skin care formula. In NuGene skin care system we incorporate a combination of growth factors and peptides to achieve the maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Trans-dermal delivery system using nano-capsulation:

One of the biggest challenges of the skin care science is the delivery of the active ingredients to the skin. In NuGene, we overcame this obstacle by using breakthrough nano-capsule technology. NuGene all-important growth factors are embedded within tiny capsules. The advantages of these nano-capsules are two-fold: the microscopic capsules improve the penetration of the growth factors to the skin and protect them from damage by other ingredients in the skin care product.
