7 key technologies that will enhance any in-clinic treatment

ALLSKIN | MED is the professional skincare range from Cantabria Labs, dermatology experts and creators of research-driven brands and innovative, patented technologies with clinically proven results, designed to work in partnership with your in clinic treatments.

Our innovative Treatment Enhancement Plans were designed for use after a number of ablative and non-ablative procedures. There are three plans available, tailored to your individual needs & skincare goals – the Collagen Activation Plan, the Moisture Firm Plan, and the Complexion Perfector Plan.

Each one-month plan consists of straightforward regime of just a few products. Unique combinations of powerful ingredients in the plans address collagen and elastin breakdown, dryness and dehydration, and cell renewal.

Below we break down the core technologies in the different Treatment Enhancement Plans and how they complement your in-clinic treatments.

SCA PRO Growth Factors

SCA PRO is the hero technology in all three Treatment Enhancement Plans, thanks to its ability to promote skin rejuvenation and deliver potent antioxidant activity. Its ability to repair the skin reduces post-procedure downtime and helps improve the results of aesthetic treatments.

SCA Pro is derived from the purified and concentrated extract of the secretion of the mollusc Cryptomphalus aspersa. It features proteins with fibroblast growth factor activity, collagenase, anti-oxidants, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, and calcium. It is clinically proven to stimulate fibroblast migration and proliferation, increasing collagen production, reducing inflammation and strengthening the skin’s barrier.

In addition to speeding healing, SCA PRO growth factors reduce initial post-procedure erythema, irritation and burning sensation.

Potent and stabilized Vitamin C

We’ve all seen the benefits of this powerful antioxidant – it fights damage from free radicals, protects the skin from environmental stress factors, reduces pigmentation and evens the skin tone. This particular complex combines L-ascorbic acid with Ethyl ascorbic acid, making it more stable and better able to penetrate through the epidermis, where it converts to L-ascorbic acid. This allows for sustained release and prolonged anti-oxidant activity.

Moisture Complex

This unique combination of moisturisers delivers intense immediate as well as slow-release hydration. Hygroplex is a physiological moisturiser. It acts like skin’s natural moisture factor (NMF) and will reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) for 24 hours. Pentavitin works by forming an insoluble complex keratin. In low-humidity atmospheres, its hydrating effect can last up to three days.

The moisture complex also contains natural humectants such as urea, amino acids and allantoin to flood the skin with moisture, leaving it soft and glowing.

A core technology in all of our Treatment Enhancement Plans.

AHA Complex

This potent combination of glycolic, citric, lactic and shikimic acid includes an immediate and gradual release technology, which encourages exfoliation while minimising discomfort. It promotes healthy cell renewal to improve skin texture and leaves the complexion fresh, polished and radiant.

Antioxidants

Anti-oxidants neutralise damage from free radicals and repair skin DNA. The complex of antioxidants in the Treatment Enhancement range is made up of vitamin C, vitamin E and superoxide dismutase. In addition to easing oxidative stress, vitamin C brightens the skin and vitamin E provides extra defence against free radicals by reducing lipid peroxidation.

Niacinamide

A powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, niacinamide is a form of vitamin B and improves skin health by restoring the skin’s barrier and protecting against oxidative stress. It also brightens the complexion and evens out skin tone by reducing melanin synthesis that causes hyperpigmentation.

This ingredient is used within both the Complexion Perfector Plan & the Moisture Firm Plan.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid consists of naturally occurring molecules in our connective tissue. It is a powerful humectant that is capable of binding up to one thousand times its weight in water, which makes it an incredibly effective moisturiser. By including hyaluronic acid at high and low molecular weight, the Treatment Enhancements deliver both immediate and long-lasting hydration to plump the skin and reduce fine lines.

A core technology in all of our Treatment Enhancement Plans.

Hard-working ingredients deliver clinically proven results in the ALLSKIN | MED range of Treatment Enhancement Plans. By introducing one of these plans into your home-care regime you will be reducing downtime and improving your overall treatment results.

Not all clinics will offer the Treatment Enhancement Range, so make sure you find one who does, and ask them about it ahead of time so they can have it ready for you.
