Skincare Research Revolution Amatokin Skin Care Research Goes to Market



One of the goals of stem cell research is to find ways to repair damaged parts of the human body. So naturally, it was only a matter of time before stem cell technology extended to the skincare industry. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Amatokin for Anti-Aging," examines the claims that this breakthrough product will generate fresh, brand new skin cells, untouched by age, pollution, sunlight or other environmental stresses.

Voss Laboratories, the company that first introduced Amatokin to consumers, has spent 15 years researching this product. Developed in Russia at the Research and Production Center for Medical Biotechnology, the key ingredient in this high-tech emulsion, polypeptides #153, was initially designed to help heal the scarred skin of burn victims.



Polypeptide #153 takes advantage of underutilized adult stem cells and stimulates them to create new skin cells. So, it uses the body's stem cell reservoirs to actually replace aged and damaged skin with younger and healthier skin.



Exactly how does Amatokin translate stems cells into glowing, youthful skin Every cell in the body is derived from stem cells. When a stem cell divides, it can produce several other types of cells, including muscle cells, bone cells, brain cells or skin cells. The purpose of polypeptide #153 is to make stem cells divide into skin cells. If Amatokin's claims are accurate, dormant stem cells can be activated to completely rejuvenate your skin and yield remarkable results -- a radiant, wrinkle-free complexion.



Some products and procedures are very specific -- and limited -- in the skincare problems they treat. For example, a product might treat lines but not age spots; a procedure might treat discoloration, but not wrinkles. Amatokin, however, aims to address multiple skincare concerns. According to Voss Laboratories, the topical product significantly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration and other unpleasant signs of aging.



Specifically, Amatokin minimizes the look of lines for smoother skin and a more youthful appearance; it treats both fine and deep lines -- unlike some products or cosmetic procedures that only work on fine lines. Also, according to researcher Nathalie Chevreau, Ph.D., who works for Basic Research, which markets Amatokin, the product also lightens pigmentation to help with dark spots.



When it first premiered in Paris, Amatokin caused quite a stir and continues to create controversy among researchers who believe that the use of stem cell technology in cosmetics may minimize important medical research in this field. But many consumers eager to fight off unwelcome wrinkles are fascinated by the extraordinary possibilities that Amatokin offers.



Though years of past research have provided us with data on stem cells and regeneration, experts say that future studies are necessary to learn more about stem cell technology and its impact. Certain questions remain unanswered at this point.



Additionally, stem cells' ability to divide and form new cells is a concern. Like the expression "too much of a good thing," can cells over-divide And what could happen to us if they do After several divisions, one cell can become many cells. Such cell division run amok is basically the concept behind cancer, cautions Dr. Marmur.



Despite the controversy surrounding the product, Amatokin is certainly one of the first to use stem cell technology in pursuit of every woman's skincare goal -- younger skin.

Stretch Marks

Although eliminating stretch marks entirely is time consuming and often, not possible, there are numerous options available to aid in reducing their appearance on the skin. While medical procedures such as laser removal, dermabrasion or chemical peels come closest to eliminating almost all traces of stretch marks, these processes are often quite expensive and, are not suitable for all skin types. For a less expensive, more user friendly option, choose an over-the-counter lotion, cream or gel that contains ingredients known to aid in refining the appearance and texture of stretch marks. A few ingredients to look for are: alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), palmitoyl oligopeptide, glucosamine HCL, shea butter, cocoa butter, almond oil and vitamin E.



GABA

GABA is often found in anti-aging products -- in particular, products that treat lines, wrinkles and crow's feet. Some consider GABA products as alternatives to Botox, because they address lines and wrinkles without painful, expensive injections, writes family and health author Anne Marier. Essentially, Botox works by paralyzing muscles that cause wrinkles, and GABA works by relaxing nerves and muscles. However, Dr. Eppley cautions against comparing GABA directly to Botox, saying it's "a stretch."



DMAE

A precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, DMAE, short for dimethylaminoethanol, is an organic compound found to improve fine lines and wrinkles, dull or sallow skin and most impressively, sagging skin. In fact, DMAE may be the only compound to improve facial sagging. DMAE can be found in face and eye creams, serums and cleansers. Most people should see an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, along with firmer, less saggy skin. Though results won't be as dramatic as a surgical facelift, as mentioned above, research does suggest noticeable improvements.



Kinetin

Kinetin is used in anti-aging skincare products because of its ability to improve the appearance of mature and photodamaged skin. Studies have suggested kinetin is effective in improving hyperpigmentation, promoting an even skin tone, smoothing the skin's texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. By helping the skin retain up to 25 percent more moisture, kinetin also promotes a healthy and hydrated complexion.
