Your Skin And The Aging Process

                                       The environment can be very harsh on your skin. How you care for it makes a big difference to maintaining overall good health. Learning about how to prevent and care for skin damage early on will save you a lot of time and money in the future.

How Cellular Aging Affects the Skin

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is referred to as the "current of life" or "molecular currency" as it is literally the energy transfer or power source that makes life itself possible in every living organism. This includes all cellular activity, DNA replication, regeneration and healing, collagen and elastin synthesis, neuro transmission, and of course, muscle contraction. As the skin is the largest organ of the body, it too requires massive amounts of ATP to thrive, regenerate, and renew itself.
Although many factors are associated with the aging process, ATP, or the lack thereof, is at the top of the pyramid (as defined when discovered by Karl Lohman in 1929 and supported by Fritz Lipman in 1941) as the primary energy transfer molecule of the human body. Having said this, preventative aging and improved health begins with creating environments that support and maximize the synthesis of ATP. This includes the foods and supplements that we eat, the professional skin care technology that we use, and the topical products that we apply to our skin.
The body uses ATP every day to function. Over time, less of it is produced and the skin suffers as a result. Taking preventative measures will help to revitalize the skin and preserve it through the years.
Benefits of Microcurrent Technology for ATP and Skin Restoration
Microcurrent technologies have been proven to encourage ATP production by as much as 500%. This stimulation in ATP synthesis is more significant than anything else known to date, making microcurrent the single most powerful tool to maximize ATP energy potential. Microcurrent is also known for its ability to sculpt or "re-educate" muscles of the face and body. This makes sense as the muscles themselves are completely dependent on ATP.

LED Light Technology and ATP

LED light therapy is a proven method for enhancing the synthesis of ATP. ATP energy facilitates many important functions to include the increase of elastin and collagen in the skin.
As ATP increases, so does the production of collagen and elastin, two essential elements for healthy skin. Because of this, LED light technology has become a leading treatment option in the skin care industry.

ATP Synthesis and Oxygen Technology

ATP is responsible for giving skin a youthful and glowing appearance. As it decreases, finding effective skin care treatments becomes increasingly important. Oxygen is often combined with other technologies to revitalize the skin by increasing the production of collagen, elastin, and ATP.
Note: LED, oxygen, and microcurrent technologies provide many healing properties. Due to their great benefits, they are the choice tools for surgeons for many pre- and post-op applications. Advantages include reduction of postoperative swelling, bruising, and discomfort by 50 percent.
