Growth Factors and Why They Are Essential in Skin Rejuvenation



Growth factors play a vital role in maintaining firmness and elasticity in your skin. Daily use of skin care products containing growth factors are known to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and improve skin tone and texture. It is important to realize, however, that not all growth factors have the same benefits.

Growth factors are natural substances made by skin cells to maintain healthy skin. They are responsible for supporting the repair of damaged skin, and provide firmness and elasticity to the skin while helping to maintain skin’s protective functions. Growth factors are wonderful for aging and sun damaged skin. Aging skin produces less growth factors naturally than youthful skin. That is why growth factors are essential in skin care products as we age.

There have been several clinical studies that have highlighted the benefits of topically applied growth factor products showing improvements in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, texture and discoloration. Results can be seen in as little as 6-12 weeks when used twice a day. What’s even more exciting is that combining growth factors with antioxidants will show results even sooner.

New to Canada but Volite has been used in Europe since 2017 with amazing results. Unlike traditional fillers, Volite is an injectable Hyaluronic acid that actually improves skin quality by activating the fibroblasts to promote new collagen and ealstin formulation. The result….hydrated, healthy glowing skin! Volite is injected into the middle layers of the dermis across many sites to nourish your skin from the inside out. Its Hyaluronic acid formula, the molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water and occurs naturally in your body, results in overall better skin quality as it visibly improves elasticity and hydration as well as the appearance of fine lines. It’s the perfect choice for those who want to improve their overall skin quality, as it visibly improves elasticity and hydration, as well as the appearance of fine lines.Volite will help you achieve more hydrated skin to smooth away fine lines and rough textures, more elastic skin that’s smoother and softer because it boosts collagen production and more radiant skin because it’s more nourished from the inside out.Book your complimentary consultation today!

The answer is YES! Gentle exfoliation can remove dirt and debris left behind after even the most efficient cleansing. It also sloughs off dead skin cells allowing all your products with active ingredients to penetrate the healthy skin tissue instead of coating your dead skin cells. However, not all exfoliants are created equally. It is important to use an exfoliant with the right shape and type of bead. We love the ZO exfoliants as they have the perfect sphere beads that do not tear or gauge the skin. The exfoliating polish instantly smoothes the skin and gently dissolves oil, and removes dulling, clogging skin cells. It replenishes hydration and healthy lipids to brighten the skin. This exfoliatant is great for all skin types. The dual action scrub sloughs away skin-clogging skin cells. It also dissolves and removes excess oils and destroys acne-causing bacteria while still replenishing hydration and reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals. It is great for oilier skin but also can be used by anyone.Book your complimentary consultation to find out which exfoliant is right for you!
