alastin skincare Flashcards
1
Q
what is the trihex technology in some of alastins skincare
A
trihex is a blend of active peptides that works to remove aged collagen and elastin form the ecm, while rebuilding new healthy collagen and elastin. with daily maintenance the skin is replenished for a more youthful appearance
2
Q
what enzyme in trihex technology is responsible for the breakdown of gelatin/aged, damaged collagen and elastin in the ECM
A
mmp2 enzyme, trihex technology increases of this enzyme while decreasing mmp1 which is responsible for the breaking down of healthy collagen
3
Q
a new category of products designed to be synergistic with…
A
procedures
4
Q
what is alastin known for
A
to use pre/post procedure as well as for daily use to restore and maintain healthy, youthful skin
5
Q
what 3 products are alastin free of
A
paraben, crulety, and gluten free
6
Q
where is the extracellular matrix
A
the underlying dermis within all tissues and organs. filling the spaces between cells and binds cells and tissue together
7
Q
what is the ECM help do
A
allows cells to communicate with one another
8
Q
as we age what happens to the ECM
A
collagen and elastin begin to break down due to internal and external factors, making it harder for cells to communicate within the ecm.
9
Q
when the ecm ages what happens to our skin
A
decrease in collagen and elastin means fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and volume loss
10
Q
what produces healthy collagen and elastin
A
the fibroblasts
11
Q
what is the job of fibroblasts
A
fibroblasts on collagen and elastin spread out to produce healthy collagen and elastin.
12
Q
what is the #1 cell to produce elastin and collagen
A
fibroblasts
13
Q
as we age what happens to the fibroblasts
A
they become sleepy which get in the way of their purpose
14
Q
what does collagen do in terms of the skin
A
collagen fibers spread horizontally, when evenly spread/distributed, these fibers produce the “plump” foundation visible on skin
15
Q
what is the analogy of collagen
A
collagen is the cushioning of the mattress, as we age the collagen begins to break down accumulating in the ecm as sticky gelatin like substance. when this happens the healthy cell to cell communication is being blocked and takes up space in the ECM for new collagen to grow
16
Q
what does elastin do in terms of the skin
A
elastin fibers spread vertically, when healthy, and extend up to dermal-epidermal junction, they provide skin its elasticity or “snap back”
17
Q
what is the analogy for elastin
A
elastin is the springs of the mattress. it gives flexibility and bounce to the skin but as we age they break down resulting in loss of firmness and elasticity
18
Q
when do we make majority of our elastin and when does collagen formation start to slow down
A
majority of our elastin is made early in our life and collagen production slows down tremendously at age 40
19
Q
what are the “garden” steps in trihex technology
A
- clear the weeds
- plant the seeds
- fertilize and water
20
Q
what is “clear the weeds”
A
trihex assists to remove broken down collagen and elastin from ECM prior to procedure
21
Q
what is “plant the seeds”
A
pretreat 2weeks prior to procedure. assists in speeding up removal of old and stimulating growth of new as well as decrease downtime
22
Q
what is “fertilize and grow”
A
continued maintenance for smooth and resiliant skin
23
Q
what is the main goal of regenerating skin nectar
A
supports and strengthens the skin to enhance aesthetic procedure outcomes
24

28
how should skin nectar be applied
1-2 pumps morning and evening to treated area 1 week prior and post procedure
29
why do we pretreat with skin nectar for energy based treatments
to help clear the ecm and prepare skinned for new collagen and elastin (prime the canvas)
30
what is the goal of restorative skin complex
formulated to help combat all visible signs of aging, from dullness to volume loss, to brighten the complexion and lift the skin for a more youthful glow
31
what is the restorative skin complex for
anti aging
32

all skin types, thinning skin, volume loss, sun damaged skin
34
what are the ingredients in restorative skin complex
trihex technology
niacinimide/phytoene/phytofluence
silver mushroom
hexapeptide 38 and l- ornithine
35
as we age we lose
volume in our faces due to the decline of mature fat cells
36
in restorative skin complex what is the purpose of acetylene hexapeptide
stimulates PGC1 to trigger adipocyte cell to begin storing lipids, making the cell mature= adding volume back to cell
37
in restorative skin complex what is the purpose of L-ornithine
allows for more triglycerides, fatty acids, to be stored by the adipocytes and inhibits the breakdown of adipocytes = provides more volume to the skin due to the prevention of breakdown
38
if a patient is on nectar following treatment what do we want to transition them to
restorative skin complex once skin is healed. this allows patient to maintain healthy skin cell communication.
39

42
how to apply transform body treatment
post treatment 2-3 pumps morning and night to treatment areas
or daily for maintenance
43
what process is accelerated by transform body treatment
autophagy- process that helps remove damaged and destroyed fat cells
44
what is autophagy
a process by our own body that plays a key role in ability to detoxify, repair, and regenerate itself
45
what is the autophagy process
1. lipid droplets are very large and need to be broken down into smaller pieces
2. these fat cells are introduced to an enzyme containing vesicles called lysosomes
3. once inside the lysosome, they are broken down into smaller pieces-fatty acids- that can be easily digested by the body clean up cell the macrophage
46
what are the ingredients in transform body treatment
trihex technology
linseed and plantain leaf
tetra peptide 2 and dill extract

47
what ingredient aids transform body treatment in the autophagy process
hexapeptide 11 because it accelerates autophagy (natural detoxification and repair process) and can interact with subcutaneous fat= more lysosomes can be broken down
