Get Rid of Age Spots

By: Ms. Beatiful

With aging, all skin cells begin to produce excess amounts of free radicals--unstable oxygen molecules that, under ideal circumstances, are removed by naturally occurring antioxidants within the skin's cells. In aging skin cells, antioxidants are in short supply. The free radicals generated are left unchecked and cause damage to cell membranes, proteins, and DNA.

These free radicals eventually break down a protein substance in connective tissue (collagen) and release chemicals that cause inflammation in the skin. It is a combination of these cellular and molecular events that leads to skin aging, Age Spots and the formation of wrinkles, the AAD says.

As we get older, two components of our skin--collagen and elastin--degenerate, setting the stage for the appearance of wrinkles, Age Spots, creases, folds, and furrows. The breakdown of these components, accelerated by sun exposure and gravity, results in the sagging skin of old age, age spots, and many more problems.

The biggest breakthrough in anti-aging medicine in years are protein –like substances in our bodies called peptides and neuropeptides. Peptides are compounds consisting of two or more amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), chained together by what is called a peptide bond.

Neuropeptides are peptides released by neurons (brain cells) as intercellular messengers. Some neuropeptides function as neurotransmitters, and others function as hormones. Peptides and neuropeptides, like many substances in our bodies can work both for and against us. They were first known as endorphins.

Scientists now know that neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, and hormones have a vast cellular communications system. The brain signals the thymus, the thymus gland signals the skin and the skin talks back to the brain. This trio controls every aspect of our bodies, using neuropeptides as their messengers.

Every messenger has a recipient for its message. These recipients are known as receptor sites.
The message delivered at the receptor site depends upon the particular neuropeptide, neurotransmitter, or hormone making the call.

The Jeneuvia Wrinkle and Age Reversing Treatments use three different peptides that work together to address some of the main causes of aging:

* free-radical damage
* Changes in fat content of skin
* Changes in skin collagen
* Dehydration
* Inflammation
* Degradation of the elastin polypeptides and
* Certain disorders in the packing of the lipid matrix of the skin.

The two primary wrinkle reducing peptides used in Jeneuvia Wrinkle and Age Reversing Treatment are ACETYL OCTAPEPTIDE-3 (a wrinkle reducing Peptide trade named SNAP-8 which is approximately 30% more active than its older parent peptide Argireline*) and PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-5 (a wrinkle reducing Peptide trade named SYN-COLL).

These two peptides are among the newest generation of patented wrinkle reducing peptides. Details of the clinical studies involving each of these peptides may be read in this glossary of ingredients under the subject titles of SNAP 8 and SYN-COLL. The peptide manufacturers recommended effective % volume of ACETYL OCTAPEPTIDE-3 is 3%-10%. Clinical study results from the manufacturer were the results of a cream having 10% Acetyl Octapeptide-3.
