TGF Beta-1 is a form of cytokine technology that is believed to act as a cellular mediator by signaling certain cellular activities that are necessary for maintaining the appearance of youthful, healthy skin.
One distinguished medical researcher, in media interviews, has referred to TGF Beta-1 as being essential for the normal production of collagen and elastin. He also believes that TGF Beta-1 may be the answer to keeping skin young indefinitely.
Researchers became intrigued with transforming growth factors when it was discovered that life saving surgery performed in-utero on fetuses during the first five months after conception, left no scars.
Apparently after five months gestation, the body seals wounds up more rapidly but in a more haphazard manner, producing a visible and often extremely unsightly mark.
Injecting non-fetal wounds with solutions containing the correct balance of growth factors has been shown to produce scar-free results.
Unfortunately, at this time, the quantity and cost of these growth factors makes its use in this manner almost impossible.
However, further research demonstrated tremendous value for TGF Beta-1 in its ability to signal certain actions causing enhanced skin functioning when applied topically.
Studies at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Cornell Medical College and Jefferson Medical College have shown that TGF Beta-1 stimulates significant collagen and elastin production as well as giving supplemental support to healing factors enabling wounds to heal markedly faster.
Anti-inflammatory factors also appear to be beneficially affected.
Collective scientific opinion views TGF Beta-1 as a major tool in helping to reverse the visible signs of aging.
Jan Marini's Transformation products are designed to reverse skin sensitivity, visible signs of aging, damaged skin changes and to help prevent broken capillaries.
The line of advanced hydrators includes Transformation Cream, Transformation Serum and Transformation Eye Cream.
