Last Spring I turned 49—and overall, I’m feeling great about it. I love to read about women feeling their best in their forties and beyond. As we grow into our age we start to feel more comfortable in our skin and that is so freeing! I feel like I have a lot to look forward to over the next decade. That said, I have begun to notice the inevitable changes in my skin that come with aging—the skin laxity and fine lines. In an effort to avoid an unnatural aesthetic that can come from the overuse of injectables, I set out to research the most cutting-edge non-invasive alternatives to botox and filler. Which is why I vigorously research skincare that will help me age gracefully, without injectables or fillers.

We all know the skincare chooses on the market today are numerous and overwhelming? How to choose. There is one category of products that is interesting and has the science backed research to prove it’s efficacy. That is stem cells.

Let’s get into it…

So what are stem cells and how are they used in skincare?

Stem cell technology can rapidly increase the growth of skin cells, dramatically improving elastin and density to help achieve skin that is healthier, more resilient and radiant.

The idea that stem cells can be harvested to fully reverse the effects of aging is the future of skincare.

I recently discovered CALECIM^® Professional, a cosmeceutical company (more on that later!) that uses stem cell technology in skincare and haircare products.

Why stem cells?

As we age, the number of stem cells in our body decreases, meaning we get less of their rejuvenating and reparative effects. The unique active ingredient in CALECIM’ Professional products effectively communicate with every layer of the skin to rejuvenate and renew. This is youth messaging technology, effective at:

• Increasing Glycoprotein production (such as Hyaluronic Acid) to increase skin fullness
• Mobilizing skin cells, so that they are encouraged to move in a specific direction, especially when there are wounds or traumas that need to be healed
• Activating skin cells to divide or instruct senescent cells to die, to restore epidermal cell turnover.

This is so regenerative, cutting-edge, and promising that it has the potential to reverse age the skin and regrow hair. By harnessing the power of tiny cellular messengers (which are literally how our cells communicate with each other).

PTT-6^®, CALECIM^®‘s patented active ingredient, is a complex mix of growth factors, proteins and exosomes derived from cord lining stem cells. 

The line you need

CALECIM PROFESSIONAL SERUM is my favorite. The Serum contains high concentrations of PTT-6 and is highly effective for use after aesthetic treatments like laser, skin needling or skin peels. It’s also effective to use every day as a skin booster. This serum calms, soothe and restores the skin while actively rejuvenating the skin to combat signs of aging.

I also enjoy the MULTI ACTION CREAM This is a thick moisturizer I use day and night, which is effective for mature skin that feels dry and aging. The Multi Action Cream works to lift and firm the skin and I apply it before my daily moisturizer and or over Retinol at night. With 50% growth factors, this cream helps with hydration and cellular regeneration.

I noticed amazing results in just 2 weeks, including smoother, more radiant skin and improved discoloration, however optimum results are usually seen within 90 days of use.

So, how well do they actually work?

Besides boosting the restoration process, Professional Serum is also deeply rejuvenative due to its high concentration of growth factors and exosomes. In-clinic modalities such as lasers, microneedling and chemical peels allow deeper penetration of these active ingredients, providing an unparalleled revitalization across many layers. PTT-6^®, CALECIM’s patented active ingredient, is a complex mix of growth factors, proteins and exosomes derived from cord lining stem cells.

CALECIM Professional Serum has the highest concentration of PTT-6^® in the CALECIM skincare range. These stem cell proteins are able to provide an optimal environment for the skin to recover by creating cellular communication messages that activate healing, epithelialization, and collagen synthesis.

What exactly does that mean for you, and why consider a cosmeceutical line? 

When it comes to skin, stem cells can be used to stimulate collagen production and cell turnover. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, and even out pigmentation for a smoother, brighter-looking you!

You can also supercharge your treatment by doing microneedling and laser procedures first, followed by utilzing this innovative line to restore and rejuvenate your skin.

I felt glowy and refreshed the first day, and with a clearer smoother complexion over the next week. Over the next month fine lines looked softer.

Better research, higher concentrations: EVIDENCE-BASED STEM CELL SKINCARE

I find this fascinating, and it definitely needs more education surrounding it, which is why I am talking about it today! When comparing the value of cosmeceuticals to over-the-counter beauty products, cosmeceuticals always hold up as the more favorable choice.

While commercial beauty brands spend large amounts on marketing and branding, cosmeceutical companies spend their budgets on research to develop more effective products. Cosmeceuticals also have a higher concentration of active ingredients, so one cosmeceutical product may actually have the potency of several ordinary creams or potions. Because of their high concentration of scientifically proven active ingredients, CALECIM^® Professional cosmeceuticals not only work faster, they also require smaller amounts to do the job. 

Here are the results you can experience:

• Reduction in the appearance of age-related pigment 
• Visibly makes skin appear firmer and more youthful 
• Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 
• Hydrates and nourishes skin 
• Increased collagen production 
• More radiant and even-toned complexion 
• Overall brightness and hydration 
• Reduction in redness and skin irritation 
• Reduction in pore size and texture

The data that cosmeceuticals can provide is evidence of the efficacy of the products. PTT-6^®, the patented and proprietary active ingredient found in all CALECIM^® products, is clinically validated to have these benefits for your skin:

– Increase skin density by 600%

– Increase the skin’s production of Hyaluronic Acid, the skin’s natural hydrator, by 83%

– Increase the skin’s production of Elastin, responsible for skin tautness and suppleness, by 56%

– Improve skin cell production by 42%

– Accelerate skin repair

For my own skincare goals—… I was honestly surprised at how much I could see the results immediately, and I love that it’s a easy option to naturally build collagen. I’m planning to continue with the line.
