Growth Factor Serum

Growth factors are natural proteins that are found in abundance in young healthy skins that are critical for rejuvenation. These proteins carry the signal relevant for growth, healing and the survival of cells in the body. When activate, they send commands such a to grow and divide, produce collagen and elastin and regulate and increase blood flow needed for repair. However, as we age, these aren’t as active in our bodies as it should be hence, such active ingredients can be found in our skin care products such as serum, gels and creams either bioengineered or from stem cells that can take cue from the surrounding tissues and speed up cell regeneration and rejuvenation process.

You may add such products to your skincare routine. Speak to a certified and experienced doctor for the best and most suitable product for yourself.

General guidelines

• apply on cleansed skin.
• Light tapping motion for better absorption
• avoid pairing with alpha-hydroxy acids or vitamin Cs as the acidity may override the growth factors.

Sometimes, growth factor serum can also be used with aesthetic procedures such as microneedling and laser skin resurfacing.

Depending on your product or treatment, patients who have used growth factor serum have seen an improvement in their skin texture and skin hydration. Overall, a positive outcome resulting in more youthful-looking skin.

Consult a doctor on your skin suitability.
