There is a Gentler Way!
By Anna Margolina

But what if we could restore those "rubber bands" that pull the skin back when it is younger? If we could do this, not only would we manage to eliminate loose and sagging skin, but we would achieve overall improvement in its appearance, making it smooth, supple and elastic.

There are two kinds of proteins that make the skin resilient, firm and elastic. They are called collagen and elastin. Collagen molecules look like long spirals that form a supportive net within the skin. They make the skin firm, smooth and resilient. Elastin molecules look like short squat coils. They just sit there, doing nothing, but their power becomes apparent when the skin is pulled or pinched. Yes, it is elastin coils that act like rubber bands pulling the skin back.

So you see, both collagen and elastin are required to keep your skin firm and elastic. However, it is easier to stimulate collagen synthesis than it is with elastin. This is why when the skin starts to sag, most methods of rejuvenation fail to restore its elasticity.
Another problem is excessive skin. When flaps and folds form, the skin becomes stretched. Unless you surgically cut the excess skin, those flaps and folds remain.

Strength Ratings

All of our copper peptides have a relative strength rating from 1 to 28. One indicates the weakest, and twenty-eight is the strongest. It should be noted that a 2 is twice as strong as a one, a 3 is thrice as strong as a one, and so on.

However, even our product rated as "1" is stronger than our competitors' strongest products. So please don't automatically assume that our strongest product is the one that you need. Everyone's skin is different. For certain areas, clients may find that they actually may only need something rated a 1 or 2.For a personalized skin consultation to learn about which products would be best for your individual skin type, we welcome you to contact us directly or submit a request on our consultation page.
