I'm fairly new to cp..using cp serum now for 8 weeks and starting to see anti aging effects. But curious in my reading on scar removal..how cps bring up covered up scar damage as remodeling takes place. Does it do the same for wrinkles? I must admit I am see some fine lines on my cheek...but I'm not alarmed because other aspects of my skin is looking younger. Will they go away as I proceed..never noticed them before.

Scars and wrinkles are not the same but have many similar characteristics. Both have hardened collagen that needs to be removed and replaced.

Our basic Skin Biology products such as Trireduction and Super Cop work best for scars when used in conjunction with hydroxy acids, abrasion, and needling.

Our newer Skin Signals products are designed more for wrinkle reduction and skin tightening.

These are general starting instructions for rebuilding skin. But everyone's skin is different, so it may take some experimenting to find what works best for yourself.

The process of rebuilding skin with our method is slow, but not irritating. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and skin lesions is much slower. But even very strong Retin-A takes about 2 years to reduce major wrinkles at the price of chronic redness and irritation.

Also, most people have buried skin damage unde relatively good-looking skin. This will slowly emerge and your skin many look worse for a time. Look at http://www.reverseskinaging.co...ied-skin-damage.html

Look at http://www.reverseskinaging.com/pictures.html and http://reverseskinaging.com/nasolabial.html and read the comments.

For your face.....

Our serums work best on oily skin areas like the T-Zone and the creams are best for drier skin areas. The fastest actions are on general skin tone and "glow".

The best results for reducing appearance of wrinkles and pores and skin tightening that we hear from our clients are:

1. Use a very mild cleanser such our Gentle Clean. Do not over cleanse your skin. Use biological oils such as squalane or emu oil to remove make up.

2. Our Serums are best on sensitive skin or oily outbreak-prone skin. Our creams work best of dryer skin areas. Sebum Be Gone helps reduce excess facial sebum.

3.In the morning, use CP Serum in the morning followed by Emu Oil-S for Skin. Start with 2 drops of each daily for your face and increase the amount slowly. If your skin feels oily, blot off the excess oil with a tissue. Later you might change to Super CP Serum.

4. For your eyes, read http://store.reverseskinaging....s.asp?ProductCode=26 This is a difficult area but it can be rebuilt and the skin around the eyes tightened.

5. At night, you might alternate Exfol Cream or our new LacSal Cream and Protect & Restore #3 - a high retinol cream. If you have problems with blemishes, then use Retinol-free P&R#2.

6. Many women also use Super Cop at night, but you should use the other products before you move to this very strong product.

7. The Day Cover can be used for protection when outside.

8. SRCPs and retinoic acid applied together often work very well and gives a stronger action than SRCPs alone.

9. You may also benefit from our newer Skin Signals products that are designed to improve skin elasticity and firmness, and use copper bound to peptides from elastin and collagen. See the Skin Signals Solution - http://www.skinbiology.com/skinsignals.html and Skin Signals Cream - http://store.reverseskinaging....asp?ProductCode=5600

10. Daily supplements of 1 gram Vitamin C and 1 gram MSM also help rebuild skin proteins. 1 gram of Flaxseed Oil, Borage Oil or Primrose Oil, which contains high levels of gamma linolenic acid, helps some people with chronic inflammation.

11. Stress inhibits skin renewal and skin repair by increasing blood cortisol. Stress also shortens your telomeres and your life. Taking 50 to 100 mgs daily of DHEA for a few months may help block the cortisol effect and stimulate skin repair.

12. Regular aerobic exercise floods more blood into the skin and speeds skin repair and scar reduction. Vigorous exercise also lengthens your telomeres which in turn helps your skin health.

13. Microdermabrasion cloths (cost about $10) often help remove older skin.

14. Skin needle rollers also can help skin remodeling. But do not use them more than every 1 or 2 weeks. Be certain to effectively wash the rollers after use and sterilize it before further use.

Dr. Pickart,

Nothing worth while is ever fast or easy -- and copper peptides are no exception....This I have learned from your detailed response. It is very much appreciated.

I long ago tried cp serum from another
cosmetic company. It seemed odd and foreign to me and the product was not explained. I
abandoned the strange blue liquid for more
mainstream products. Recently, I am glad to have learned of your website and have tried cp again. My skin is pretty good already...and the reason I KNOW this is working is that a small white bump (sort of mole like) that has been on my cheek for my adult life is now
getting smaller and smaller everyday. I also
have another in the crease of my nose that is doing the same. It is truly amazing...and
really wonderful for those with scaring...that the appearance can be reversed. Long process or not.
Thanks for your body of work and for making affordable products that deliver.

Hi Summer Rose.

Yes, Scars and Wrinkles can both surface. CP's remove skin damage period, so its not surprising both can surface since they are damage.

For me Acids work better at improving Scar tissue and Micro Cloths at removing lines.

Just have to experiment to see what type of exfoliation works best for you.

Maxx...thanks.. I'd love it if just my clarsonic could do the exfoliation part. HA's make my skin red..but I'll do what I must. I also have a microfiber washcloth I just purchased. Thanks for the help.
