Why Epigenetics Matters When Studying Skin Ageing

mesoestetic®’s new anti-ageing skincare line, age element®, has arrived.

Did you know that anti-ageing treatments are the most requested treatments in clinics?

It’s with this knowledge that skincare brands remain eager to tap into the best possible research available around the functionality of the skin. Of particular interest, is the process through which the skin ages. A loss of luminosity and volume, lack of tone and definition, and the development of fine lines and wrinkles are the most understood signs of skin ageing.

Both genomes and exposomes matter when considering how skin ages. In other words, both internal and external factors play their part. While genetics are known to influence skin health, it’s been found that more than 80% of skin ageing is actually caused by environmental conditions, lifestyle and emotions.

This is where the study of epigenetics is so vital. Research into the field of epigenetics is lauded internationally. It’s through such research that scientists have discovered how changes in one’s epigenetics can impact how the skin ages.

Spanish cosmeceutical brand mesoestetic® is at the forefront of R&D into the field of epigenetics. The medical-grade skincare company has devised a patented solution – the [meso]epigen system™ – designed to decode markers of skin ageing. With this innovative, patented ingredient, the age element® range was born.

Combining three, targeted product lines, age element® is mesoestetic®’s new hero anti-ageing range. Built on the study of epigenetics, each line is designed to tackle key signs of skin ageing via brightening solutions, firming solutions, and anti-wrinkle solutions. Products from each line are designed to be mixed-and-matched to allow users to target a variety of personal signs of ageing.

In-clinic, the age element treatment is customised to the client and offered in five phases:

Phase 1 – Diagnosis: analyses the variables involved in the skin ageing process, and defines a customised protocol for each client.

Phase 2 – Preparation: hygiene and make-up removal phase.

Phase 3 – Stimulation: phase of renewal to enhance epidermal regeneration and optimise penetration of the active ingredients applied subsequently.

Phase 4 – Activation: customised contribution phase based on the degree of ageing and visible signs of age in the skin. Visibly enhances radiance and firmness. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and provides visible density. Boosters include brightening booster, firming booster, anti-wrinkle booster and redensifying booter.

Phase 5 – Boosting: customised boosting phase in the form of two mask options to provide extra supplement active ingredients to those used in the activation phase. Masks include crystal fiber mask and instant firming mask.

The take-home product line-up is designed to enhance the anti-ageing benefits of the weekly, in-clinic treatments but can also be applied as a stand-alone homecare regime.

Professional Beauty’s Online Editor, Hannah Gay trialled the mesoestetic® age element® brightening concentrate: “I was immediately drawn to this product for its distinctive melon colour and gel-like consistency. As a 30 year-old, I am most concerned with loss of brightness in my skin. Implementing a gentle, yet efficacious serum into my routine is an ideal anti-ageing strategy. This makes another of many mesoestetic® products I look forward to using, and benefiting from, long-term.”
