Neova® by ProCyte
Why is Copper Important for Healthy Skin?
As we age, our skin thins, and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies become slower to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs – the cement that bonds tissue components together). We find ourselves exposed to free radicals through the sun’s UV rays, environmental factors such as pollution, cigarette smoke and alcohol. As a result, age spots appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin ability to retain moisture is diminished.
Scientific studies have clearly defined a role for copper in the regulation of growth, development, and function of the human body. Copper, the third most abundant trace mineral in the human body, following iron and zinc, is utilized by essentially every cell and organ.
Copper:
1. Plays a fundamental role in skin health, by helping restore the skin’s ability to repair itself.
2. Is an essential component of collagen and elastin production.
3. Works as an antioxidant to defend the skin against free radicals.
4. Is important in firming and increasing the density of the skin.
5. Is imperative for healthy skin.
Since Copper isn’t readily available to the skin in the foods we eat or the supplements we take, ProCyte developed a patented delivery system, known as GHK, enabling copper to get where it needs to within the skin’s surface. Clinical studies have demonstrated the many benefits of Neova’s GHK Copper Peptide Complex® including decreased skin blotchiness, decreased fine lines and wrinkles and an increase in skin firmness and tone, and overall appearance- all without irritation!
Not All Copper Peptide Products Yield the Same Results
Typically, other products claiming to contain copper peptides contain copper salts mixed with random peptide or proteins not specific GHK Copper Peptides. The GHK Copper Peptide Complex® allows our skin to recognize and absorb the copper so that it can be utilized in skin functions. Copper salts are generally irritating and not easily utilized by the body. If the ingredients label simple reads: copper peptide or copper salts, it is not true GHK Copper Peptide Complex®
Your doctor’s skin care program combines a medically directed program using Neova’s GHK Copper Peptide Complex® products, prescription and over-the counter topical, skin care and sun protection products. The goals of this program are to exfoliate dead skin cells, promote the growth of healthy new skin cells, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tones and correct evidence of sun damage. The Neova product line contains a complete array of products to allow for a comprehensive skin care regimen.
