Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): The Next Big Thing in Anti-Aging

An Introduction to Epidermal Growth Factor

These days, it seems that pretty much everyone is pursuing the latest and most promising anti-aging products and therapies, from filler injections to major surgery. However, you can also put your own body’s natural processes to work on the problem — with a little help from a naturally-occurring substance called epidermal growth factor, or EGF.

What EGF Does for the Body

Epidermal growth factor belongs to the larger family of naturally-occurring growth factors produced by the human body. These proteins, also known as cytokines, serve as chemical messengers, influencing cell growth and repair while also regulating the body’s responses to inflammation and pain. The body manufactures many different kinds of cytokines, including lymphokines, monokines, chemokines, and interleukines. EGF focuses on triggering and supporting healthy levels of epidermal skin cell reproduction, affecting cellular growth and behavior by binding to receptors on the cells’ surfaces.

The Key to Younger-Looking Skin?

Until someone invents a way to go back in time, EGF may offer the next-best way to rejuvenate your skin at the cellular level. That’s because topical products containing EGF can help you produce more collagen and elastin, the proteins so essential for giving skin its flexibility, tightness, and springiness. It does this by stimulating the specialized cells (known as fibroblasts) that normally make these proteins. In other words, it gives your skin more of what it needs to become (or remain) firm and youthful looking, instead of wrinkling and sagging, by helping your skin maintain its structural integrity. Regular use of an EGF product can therefore help you banish bags under your eyes, fine lines, and other signs of age.

EGF has other virtues as well. For instance, tts ability to help regulate inflammation and other process can reduce annoying cosmetic issues such as facial redness (a common problem among rosacea sufferers), hyperpigmentation (the result of too much melanin in a particular area of skin), and enlarged pores related sun damage or acne.

How Did EGF as a Skin Treatment Come About?

While we’ve already noted that EGF has always played a role in skin health and elasticity through its natural production by the body, the use of EGF as a skin treatment only got its start in 1986, when EGF’s role in these processes was first identified. A three-month study of women ages 29 to 75 found that EGF can reduce wrinkles, redness, and the effects of sun damage on the skin. Since then, an increasing number of skin care companies have made a point of including EGF and various cytokines in their topical creams and lotions. Some clinics also apply these products in office procedures that include special devices that infuse the EGF right into the skin.

Originally, EGF products always derived their epidermal growth factor from human skin cells. However, today’s world of EGF products often make use of plant-based EGF, which works just as effectively to renew and repair the skin.

How to Revitalize Aging Skin

Wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines are all common complaints when it comes to aging skin. If you’re experiencing these signs of aging, however, you don’t have to simply accept them! In fact, there are a number of treatments and other things you can try to revitalize your aging skin and restore its youthful, vibrant appearance.

Consider Lightwave Topical Light Infusion

Topical Light Infusion (TLi) treatments have been taking the skincare world by storm, especially among those who have been experiencing dull and aging skin. Specifically, ABI Dermaceuticals‘ TLi Retinol Revitalizing Treatment is designed to invigorate skin by infusing Vitamin A into the layers of the skin. This, in turn, has been shown to increase cell turnover and assist in collagen production. The end result? A reduction in the appearance of find lines and wrinkles—as well as a more vibrant and youthful complexion.

Understanding Lightwave Topical Light Infusion Treatment

How does our Lightwave TLi work, anyway? First, the skin must be properly cleansed so that all makeup, debris, and dirt is removed. From there, exfoliation using a scrub may be recommended for particularly damaged or dry skin.

Next, protective eyewear is donned and LED red light therapy is administered to the skin for a minimum of 10 minutes. The purpose of this is to increase blood flow to the area, which will optimize the results of the treatment.

From there, the topical serum is applied to the skin and massages around the face, starting with the forehead and working down towards the chin. After 1-2 minutes (to allow the serum to penetrate the skin), the topical cream is applied in the same manner. Finally, protective eyewear is donned once again and a 30-minute light therapy treatment is administered.

How Topical Light Infusion Works

As treated skin is exposed to LED light, the wavelengths from the light help the topicals reach deep into the different layers of the skin. This allows the skin to absorb these ingredients (including Vitamin A), resulting in noticeable results with just one treatment session. Many patients will notice an improvement in overall skin tone and texture, as well as a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Other Tips to Protect Aging Skin

In addition to considering treatments such as ABI’s Lightwave TLi, there are other measures you can take to revitalize and protect aging skin. One of the most important things you can do is to make sure your skin is adequately protected from the sun by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Likewise, staying properly hydrated can also keep skin looking its best. As a general rule, you should aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day.

Best Blemish and Oil Control Treatment For Topical Light Infusion!

Person with Acne on Cheek

The world of beauty and wellness has experienced major evolution and innovation in recent years. The introduction of revolutionary processes such as Topical Light infusion (TLi) has helped to bridge the gap between our patient’s cosmetic goals and our ability to consistently achieve those goals and desired results. With new skincare protocols on the horizon, now is a fantastic time to become familiar with these trending skincare solutions.

Here at Lightwave Therapy, we believe in not just the power of Topical Light Infusion as a therapeutic process, but also in the power, confidence and strength that this cutting edge skincare routine can offer our clientele.

What IS Topical Light Infusion?

Topical Light Infusion (TLi) is where LED light therapy and skin infusion topicals blend together to provide benefits to our skin. Our goal at Lightwave Therapy  is to combine our award-winning ABI skincare topical products with our Lightwave LED Therapy to provide actionable results that beauty enthusiasts can enjoy. The process is not just safe and simple, it is easy as well!

In this article, we hope to educate prospective clients as to what they can expect from a TLi Blemish and Oil Control treatment.

TLi Blemish and Oil Control Mask

Struggling with congested or oily skin can lead to breakouts, blackheads, and inflammation. When our skincare routine feels like it is failing us, we can get back in control with the ABI Dermaceuticals TLi Blemish and Oil Control Treatment. This multi-step process incorporates Lightwave Therapy in conjunction with popular ABI topicals.

Let’s break down the TLi Blemish and Oil Control Treatment into four simple steps.

  1. Prepare Your Skin— When we utilize the TLi Blemish and Oil Control mask, we advise to first prep the skin. This is a simple task accomplished with the ABI Corrective Wash, formulated to gently cleanse without stripping the skin of natural oils. This will ensure all excess oil, make-up, dirt, and debris has been removed.
  2. Apply Blemish and Oil Mask — Once we have prepared the skin with the ABI Corrective Wash, we can begin applying the Blemish and Oil Mask. Applied through a syringe, the mask can be brushed on or applied with your fingers. A thin layer should begin at your forehead before working its way down, covering your entire targeted area until the mask syringe is empty.
  3. Lightwave Therapy LED— At this point, it is time to place the Lightwave Therapy LED panel directly overtop the targeted face + neck areas. The LED lights will activate the TLi treatment, remaining lit for 20 minutes as the mask embarks upon its process.
  4. Post Care Treatment— After the light has shut off, it is time to cleanse the skin of the remaining mask. Use our ABI Corrective Mist to remove the final traces of the mask. Next, apply a dime size amount of the ABI Treatment Gel to any active blemishes. Allow the product to penetrate.  Apply ABI’s Oil-Free Moisturizer to the entire treatment area to help protect the skin’s natural moisture factor.  Finally, always finish a treatment with ABI’s SHADE SPF 28 Sunscreen.

Key Advantages: Reduce Inflammation, Reduce Excess Oil, Target Skin Blemishes, Detoxify.

We have designed our TLi Blemish and Oil Control Mask to work as both a single-use treatment and as part of a well-rounded routine. Traditionally, we advocate for our clients to begin with just two Blemish and Oil Treatments in their first week before changing to a single mask every two months while symptoms persist.

How to Use Skin Care Products with Your Light Therapy

image of light therapy

Topical Light Infusion (TLi) is one of the only known light-based infusion systems available on the cosmetic market, today. Designed around light-based facial infusion technology, this cosmetic service is similar yet markedly different from traditional LED light therapy.

A Topical Light Infusion treatment plan is built around the application of specific topicals to the skin. Light is then placed overtop these topicals where they are then activated and infused into the lower layers of skin without ablation or injections.

Topical Light Infusions work by:

  • Formulated Topicals Applied to Treatment Area
  • Topicals Infused into Skin by Pulses of Light
  • Light Activation Allows Optimized Delivery of Topicals
  • Active Ingredients Improve Overall Skin Conditions

Light therapy is often used to treat a wide range of potential conditions, from wrinkles to sagging skin and everything in between. Now light therapy can be combined with Topical Light Infusion for a more complete treatment. These treatments are safe, simple, and easy to understand. Most combined treatments last for just 30 minutes, allowing an additional 20 minutes for pre-and-post care.

ABI Dermaceuticals has produced a line of products meant specifically for use through the Topical Light Infusion methodology. Let’s explore these products to learn how to incorporate them into our own light therapy routines.

Optimize Your Light Therapy with ABI Dermaceuticals

Topical Light Infusions offer an exciting and flexible approach to treating many of the most common skin conditions and disorders. Whether we are looking to visibly brighten our skin, or we want to enjoy a collagen-boosting mask, the team at ABI Dermaceuticals has a product to meet your needs.

Let’s take a look at how to incorporate a few of the most popular ABI Dermaceuticals products into your Topical Light Infusion therapy.

  1. Prepare with an Exfoliating Enzyme Wash

Begin every Topical Light Infusion treatment by resetting and exfoliating your skin with ABI’s Exfoliating Enzyme Wash. This product features papaya and pineapple enzymes that break down keratin found within dead skin cells, removing and dissolving lifeless skin while providing nourishment along the way.

  1. Incorporate TLi Wrinkle Repair

Topical Light Infusion allows for the treatment of many different conditions and skin concerns. From plumping your skin with collagen-boosting masks to fighting signs of premature aging through the TLi Wrinkle Repair Treatment, this step in the process is based on our skincare goal.

Let’s highlight TLi Wrinkle Repair to showcase how this effective infusion treatment works.

  • Rejuvenating Ingredients — vitamin C is one of the driving forces behind this revitalizing serum, though it isn’t alone. C-Mate, Algae Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin B5 work together to deliver hydrating and soothing benefits where your skin needs it most.
  • Two-Step Treatment — Immediately after applying the Wrinkle Repair Serum to the top layer of skin, the Wrinkle Repair Cream is applied to the treatment area. Then an illuminated, pulsing TLi LED Panel is placed over the topicals for up to 21 minutes.
  1. Apply Hydrating Recovery Gel

Upon finishing the anti-wrinkle treatment, apply the ABI Hydrating Recovery Gel to promote nourishment and hydration to your skin while neutralizing free radicals.

  1. Always Finish a LIGHTWAVE Treatment with Sunscreen

ABI’s Sensible Sunscreen SHADE SPF 28 has a fragrance-free formula designed to provide superior sun protection without causing any congestion or irritating sensitive skin. An ample amount should be applied at the end of any facial or procedure performed.
