What Are Growth Factors For Skin and What Can They Do For You?

    Growth factors are proteins that help to support the foundation of our skin by stimulating cellular growth. It is common knowledge that collagen, one of the main structural proteins that gives skin its full and youthful look, depletes as we age. Growth factors, when applied to the skin promote a cascade of cellular changes and growth leading to increased collagen production which in turn leads to softening of fine lines and wrinkles.

    At Florida Skin Center our skin care line SkinMedica includes TNS Essential Serum. TNS stands for Tissue Nutrient Solution, and this formulation contains over 110 of the growth factors knows to influence collagen formation. This product improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and texture. TNS Essential Serum also contains antioxidants that help to protect the skin from free radicals that can decrease the skins ability to naturally repair itself.
