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.
