Overview

Aging skin at the  cellular level appears marked by collagen fragmenting, inflammatory proteins, cross linked and fibrotic tissue, poor cell configuration and cell differentiation, decreasing energy, among other signs, all of which can be traced to DNA damage that has been ongoing. 
 
The stimulation of natural skin repair functions is the predominant approach to the reversal of the look of aging in skincare today.  It is a fundamentally flawed idea that rapidly depletes the skin.
 
At the other end of today's spectrum of conventional skincare are the protein based creams.  It is impossible for any protein, peptide, collagen, growth factor, enzyme or other large molecule constituent of our skin, to be applied externally and thereby penetrate to skin the skin cells and become part of the metabolic process of the skin.
 
Large molecules tend to collect on the surface and break down into smaller parts that can create the temporary look of erasing wrinkles.  This is a cosmetic and temporary use and not a solution to the underlying problem.
 
302 relies on the metabolic model rather than the repair model to improve the look of aged skin.  We seek to create a global response that improves all aspects of skin functions, because it's not just the looks  that are in need of help.  When the skin is fully functional, as it was when it was young, good looks follow.  it is not the other way around which is the practice of the repair model with an artificial, plasticene, even manikin look often the the outcome.
 
The 302 approach to reversing the look of aging points to the dermis and the epidermis and the junction of the two.  The lipid, BV-OSC, reduces blotches and pigment problems, rebuilds elasticity, increases resistance to sunlight damage and just all in all the functions quite compatibly with the skin.  It is a lipid form of vitamin C.
 
For the epidermis and epidermal/dermal junction the ingredient of choice is Avogin or avocation 302.  A truly remarkable discovery from a rain forest species of avocado.  Avogen is very well tolerated and works rapidly to restore cell integrity, reduce inflammatory protein formation, eliminate fragmenting of collagen and improve the texture, feel and turgor of the skin.

We recommend regimens that combine clinical procedures with advanced tropicals, a progressive introduction of higher potency products and procedures.  You will have better results through progressive increase in care intensity.
 
Microdermabrasion, micro-current and LED treatments are very effective in reducing the visible signs of aging.  Visit our pages for these treatments for more information.
