What is meant by stem cells?
e
Ap
pl
Here, every second to seventh cell is a stem cell. Outwardly indistinguishable from the other cells in the basal layer, they have a very special task to perform: the constant renewal and rejuvenation of the epidermis, since only these cells can divide to form new cells.
gy
Gra pe
Stem cells are special and very precious cells which are present in very small numbers in almost all types of tissue. Adult stem cells are also found in the outermost layer of human skin, the epidermis. They are called epidermal stem cells and are present in the deepest layer of the epidermis (the basal layer).

1. The source of youthful, beautiful skin lies in the stem cells. The stem cells in the epidermis ensure that skin cells are constantly renewed. UV radiation and natural aging weaken this renewal process. The skin is damaged and becomes thinner. The number and activity of the stem cells decrease. This leads to the formation of wrinkles.
2. To counteract skin aging it is vital to effectively protect and safeguard the vitality of the stem cells. This can be achieved by means of skinvision Stemcell Technology. This active substance complex of 100% plant-based apple, grape and alpine rose stem cells can sustainably stimulate the vitality of stem cells and extend their longevity.
3. Clinical studies have confirmed a reduction in wrinkles of up to 59%* (length, depth, volume). The skin appears youthfully firm, as if lifted. * Test Derma Consult

Products, Rationale & Treatment
Active Ingredients In addition to the future-orientated apple, grape and alpine rose stem cells, the skinvision range contains the following active ingredients:
Serilesine (hexapetide 10)
Lipomoist
Spring Sea Water
Macadamia Nut Oil (Macadamia Ternifoliae)
An active substance which has re-sculpturing and skin-firming properties. It increases density in slack skin, restoring tightness and firmness. Serilesine enhances cellular adhesion and promotes the connection between the dermis and the epidermis. This increased contact between the cells guarantees an improvement in the supply of nutrients to the skin. Skin density is boosted and the skin appears youthfully full.
This extract of red algae has a stabilising effect on the elastin structure in the skin, leaving it plumper and fresher in appearance.
The macadamia nut tree is a native of Eastern Australia. At the end of the 19th century, it was introduced to Hawaii and other sub-tropical countries. Today, Hawaii is the largest area of cultivation. Macadamia nut oil is extracted by means of cold pressing. It is a clear, odourless oil containing Vitamins A, B and E and many minerals, as well as a high content of unsaturated fatty acids (58% oleic acid, 20% palmitic acid). The 20% palmitic acid content is unusually high for a vegetable oil.
Platinum (Platinum Matrix-EM)
This complex increases DNA repair activity and protects against UV-induced skin damage. It regenerates the DNA of the cells and protects them from environmental and UV stress.
This pure, clear seawater comes from a natural reservoir on the Côte de Granit Rose in Brittany. Surround by granite formations and filtered through a thick layer of sand, it contains valuable minerals and trace elements. Sodium and potassium ions are eliminated by means of electro dialysis. The mineral content of seawater is almost identical to that of blood serum (e.g. zinc, magnesium and calcium). Its structure enables optimum absorption into the skin. Seawater improves the dermo-epidermal connection. This firms the skin and increases its water-binding capacity.
Macadamia nut oil absorbs rapidly into the skin, has a regenerative effect, regulates the cornification process and promotes metabolic processes.
This deep-acting, anti-aging active substance stimulates collagen I and III synthesis. It improves the elasticity and hydration of the skin and brings about an intensive reduction in wrinkles.
Eyeseryl™ (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5) This peptide has a draining effect and has been shown to reduce tear sacs in only 15 days. It smoothes the eye area and minimises dark circles. Eyeseryl™ prevents collagen from cross linking (glycation), one of the main causes of tear sacs. In the sensitive eye area elasticity is increased by around 30%. Eyeseryl™ has a stimulating and rejuvenating effect on the eye area, which has a tendency towards slackness with age.
Gatuline Expression – (Acmella Oleracea) The active ingredient Gatulene Expression is a plant-derived substance extracted from para cress. Indigenous to Brazil and Peru, this small medicinal plant targets and relaxes facial features thus leaving wrinkles looking noticeably smoother. Spilanthol reduces the intensity of muscle contractions, which minimizes mimicry lines. It is an effective alternative to botox injections.

Lipomoist is a highly-effective moisture factor with a constant delayed-action effect for lasting 24-hr skin hydration.
DNA Repair Complex
Jewel Mixture A mixture of jade, coral, amethyst, ruby, tourmaline and amber has a calming and harmonising effect on the skin. The skin has a more unified appearance and stress factors are positively impacted.
Pearl Extract Pearls not only look beautiful, they also make us beautiful owing to their anti-aging properties. They provide the skin with minerals and vital proteins, which the body produces less of as it ages. As a finely ground extract, pearls stimulate the blood circulation, give tired skin a fresh-looking shimmer and leave the skin looking more finely pored.
Optical Wrinkle Fillers vWhen applied, these tiny mineral pigments fill the fine lines and wrinkles in the skin, giving them a finer appearance through light diffusion. The skin also feels softer and suppler.
Grape Seed Oil Grape seed oil is a valuable cold-pressed oil extracted from grape pips. Grape seed oil is considered to be an oil with exceedingly antioxidative and cell-membrane protecting properties owing to the content of polyphenols (including the very effective procyanidin). It contains approximately 90% unsaturated fatty acids and around 70% essential linoleic acid. Further active substances are Vitamins A, C and E, as well as minerals and trace elements.
Almond Oil As a cosmetic ingredient almond oil is esteemed above all for its mildness. From baby’s skin to problem skin it serves as a basis or as an additive in cosmetics. Almonds contain vital substances such as the Vitamins A, B1 and B6. The mineral content is also generous: magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphor, sulphur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, fluoride and even traces of iodine are to be found.
Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) Shea butter, also known as “beurre de karité”, is extracted from the seeds of the shea nut, the fruit of the tree, which have a 45 – 60% fat content. Effect: ÂÂ Shea butter is an excellent natural fat with protecting and nourishing properties. ÂÂ It is a semi-solid wax with non-spreading properties and does not leave a greasy shine on the skin. ÂÂ Shea butter provides natural sun protection of factor 3.
SynColl Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 can stimulate inactive TGF beta (Transforming Growth Factor beta) in the skin thus increasing collagen production significantly. Collagen deficits are compensated, connective tissue is strengthened and the surface structure of the skin is smoothed.

Active Ingredients
Ceramides
Co-Enzyme Q10
Allantoin
Ceramides are the main constituent of the lipid layers, which act as a moisture barrier in the corneous layer of the skin.
Co-Enzyme Q10 was discovered in 1956. Dr. Karl Folker and his research colleagues at the University of Texas were the first scientists to realise the vital significance of Q10 for the respiration and energy production of human cells. Without Q10 there would be no energy, or rather no human cell would be able to carry out its function in the body.
Allantoin is a derivative of urea and is extracted from beetroot, the roots of black salsify and comfrey, horse chestnut bark, maple, wheat germ and rice.
The corneous layer: this is made up of eight to fifteen layers of flattened, dead corneous cells, which adhere to each other firmly. Shortly before cornification the living cells produce various lipids, known as barrier lipids. They are pressed together to form the lipid layers which then encapsulate the cells in the corneous layer. The lipid layers act like mortar in a brick wall, simultaneously holding and protecting the corneous cells. Ceramides are parts of these lipid layers. They are unusually large and act like bridges between the adjoining lipid layers. The efficiency of the barrier-forming lipid layers can be impacted in a number of ways. The consequences are greater skin aging, wrinkles and loss of elasticity in the tissue. Effect: ÂÂ Improvement of the corneous layer ÂÂ Regulation of moisture loss ÂÂ Stimulation of the corneous layer’s barrier function ÂÂ Prevention of transepidermal water loss in the skin
Soy Isoflavones Highly concentrated soy isoflavones significantly increase the thickness of the skin, which thins with age, and the dermis and epidermis are regenerated from the inside. Phyto oestrogens contained in soy isoflavones have many functions. In particular they counteract the dwindling production of collagen and elastin. For tighter, firmer skin.

The mitochondria are the energy producing power plants of the cells. Q10 is a constituent of the mitochondria. These sub units of the cell body are responsible for the production of some 95% of the energy necessary to live. Q10 performs its function from the membranes of the mitochondria: the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), pure energy, needed for all the vital processes in the cell. As a carrier for energy production in the cells, Q10 has the following functions: ÂÂ Stimulation of cell metabolism ÂÂ Promotion of cell regeneration ÂÂ Stimulation of all bodily processes ÂÂ Positive effect on the heart and immune system
Panthenol D-Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex and a component of co-enzyme A. It is present in all living cells. Pro vitamin D-Panthenol has good moisture retaining properties and promotes skin regeneration. Effect: ÂÂ Regenerative properties ÂÂ Anti-inflammatory properties ÂÂ Soothing effect on sunburn ÂÂ Moisture giving properties ÂÂ Alleviation of rough, cracked skin
Notes
Effect: ÂÂ Anti-inflammatory, mildly antiseptic properties ÂÂ Acceleration of healing process ÂÂ Good skin compatibility makes it ideal for turning rough, cracked skin smooth and supple again.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) This fat-soluble vitamin is present in all vegetable oils and fats and has good skincare properties. Results gained in studies using skincare products containing Vitamin E have shown a positive effect on facial wrinkles and lines and also on skin surface structure showing signs of climatic stress and after repeated UV radiation. Effect: ÂÂ Protects the cell membrane against free radicals (highly reactive oxygen compounds) of various origin, especially environmental stress ÂÂ Regenerative properties ÂÂ Easily absorbed by the skin ÂÂ Positive effect on water-binding capacity of the skin ÂÂ Antioxidant (prevents oils from turning rancid), also a much-used preserving agent.
Saxifrage, Chinese scutellaria, mulberry and grape A plant-based combination of efficacious anti-aging active substances. Rich in flavones and isoflavones. Age-induced skin discolouration is reduced, pores appear finer and the skin has a smoothened, even appearance.

Multi Zone Lifting Massage
The Multi Zone Lifting Massage even restructures facial zones where a lifting effect is difficult to achieve. The result: Wrinkles and tear sacs are reduced and the perfect ‘V form’ is restored to the facial contour.
A change occurring in only one of the skin’s layers can have a negative impact on the firmness and hence the youthfulness of the entire skin. To maintain the complex firmness of the skin achieving an effect in all the layers of the skin is ideal. The facial muscles are attached to the skin via a special system of fibres thus enabling our many-faceted mimicry. Over-activity of certain muscles can make the face look harder and older.
Before treatment Facial contour has no clear definition
After treatment The face now has a V contour
All the massage techniques used in the Multi Zone Lifting Massage are carried out purposely with pressure in an upwards direction and often diagonally to the musculature. This boosts the special V lifting effect of the massage. The facial contours are redefined.
