AlphaScience

Ultra Firm Face and Neck Sculpting Concentrate from AlphaScience defends the skin against collagen carbamylation –a process similar to glycation that has an even stronger implication on skin ageing. The formula features 2% shiitake complex to boost collagen synthesis and help reduce collagen deterioration, 2% L-glutamine complex peptide to reduce wrinkles and improve skin density; and 2% genistein, an isoflavone which balances skin oestrogen levels and minimises the glycation process.

Dr Ophelia Veraitch

Consultant dermatologist Dr Ophelia Veraitch has created a range of prescription skin and hair care products for her patients after starting to compound medical-grade products for them on an individual basis. After patients answer a medical questionnaire, the products are freshly made in Dr Veraitch’s London lab. The range includes ten skincare products (day and night serums) for acne, anti-ageing, anti-redness and brightening, as well as two eye serums. There are also hair vitamins and growth elixirs.

iS Clinical

isClinical is bringing its home-use Active Peel System to the UK. The two-step system, suitable for all skin types, works to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pore size, while resurfacing the skin to improve tone, texture and smoothness, supporting collagen and elastin production. Step one of the treatment provides controlled exfoliation with mixed fruit acid extracts, salix alba bark extract (a source of salicylic acid) and sugarcane extract; while step two hydrates and rejuvenates the skin with copper tripeptide growth factor and extremozymes.

Bio Therapeutic

Designed for use alongside in-clinic technologies such as ultrasonic and microdermabrasion, new bt-cocktail ampoules use botanical technology, with ingredients harvested from lab-grown moss, one of Earth’s most resilient plants. Utilising a blend of adenosine triphosphate and ATP precursors, the formula helps skin recharge and gives a wide spectrum of antioxidant protection against both extrinsic and intrinsic ageing triggers. The product comes in sterile glass ampoules for optimum potency.

Part of the Croma Princess portfolio, the new thread stimulates collagen for skin rejuvenation while also providing reinforcement and lifting. Designed for advanced PDO thread users who want to offer their patients a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation, the thread is produced using a press-sculpting method (without heat treatment), giving stronger fixation and lifting with extra moulded stimulation.
