Neova™ Therapy
Copper Peptide
Anti-Aging Technologies
Copper Peptide Skincare
Procyte Corporation has come up with a new
patented technology for anti-aging skincare. It's Neova™ Copper Peptide Therapy
utilizes the collagen and elastin promoting capabilities of copper to revive
dull, lifeless skin, remedy fine lines and wrinkles, and restore moisture and
firmness to the skin.
Oily Skin Care
Neova has come out with some new
formulations made specifically for oily skin. Our favorite, the Neova
Illuminating Mask is a silica-based mask that absorbs oil better than
traditional clay-based masks without clogging pores. Used on a consistent basis,
overall oiliness in the skin is reduced.
Sensitive Skin SkinCare
Neova 's newest line of products are
formulated with delicate and sensitive skin types in mind. With things like
antioxidant-rich green tea and algae extract , sensitive skin feels calm and
refreshed.
Copper and the Skin
As we age, our bodies become slower to produce collagen,
elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAG's - the cement that bonds tissue components
together). Scientific studies have demonstrated that copper plays a vital role
in skin health; copper is a powerful collagen and elastin promoter and plays an
antioxidative role in the body, it is important in the production of GAG's, and
copper-dependant enzymes increase the benefits of natural tissue building
processes.
This means that skin will firm, smooth, and soften - and
studies have shown that it does it in less time than most other anti-aging
therapies.

NEW!
Neova
C-Protection Creme
-Neova-C
contains a revolutionary formula that contains 10% L-ascorbic acid in a stable,
water-free environment for maximum stability. The vitamin-C begines to act when
Neova-C comes in contact with moisture in the skin for maximum effectiveness and
optimal results. Do not mix with the Neova Copper formulas - the L-Ascorbic acid
will deactivate the delivery vehicle in the copper peptide. Use in the morning
and use the Neova Copper peptide formulations at night - or alternate them every
other day.
The
Neova™ Body
Therapy is a light, non-greasy copper peptide lotion, enriched with
vitamin E and squalane, is ideal for anyone concerned about minimizing the signs
of aging on dry, highly exposed areas such as hands, arms, and decolletage. By
helping to retain vital moisture, the lotion soothes and softens severely dry
skin.
The
Neova™
Cuticle Therapy is a rich, emollient, containing copper peptide, aloe,
glycerin, vitamins, and botanical extracts, helps heal and soften rough, ragged
cuticles, leaving your hands rejuvenated.
The
Neova™
Illuminating Mask -For oily skin only. This mask utilizes the ultra
absorption capabilities of fumed silica to absorb five times its weight in oil.
Absorbs oil deep within the pores while glycerin attract and binds water to the
skin. Within two weeks a significant reduction of skin oiliness will result. Try
now at our special introductory price!
Neova Therapies for Sensitive Skin
The
Neova™ Soothing Milk Cleanser is a light, non-greasy lotion cleanser
that leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean without dryness. Completely removes
makeup and debris, and unlike other cream cleansers, there is no greasy film
left on the skin.
The
Neova™
Calming Green Tea Serum Two powerful forms of green tea, rich in
antioxidants, are blended with calming licorice root to visibly relieve signs of
irritation and sensitivity. Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that is also
valued for its ability to calm sensitive skin. In addition this soothing formula
blends extracts of kola, mate, and guarana to help reduce signs of sensitivity,
irritation, and redness. This hydrating serum aids the skin's natural,
protective barrier function while counteracting surface inflammation that leads
to aging. Recommended for sensitive or visibly irritated skin, sunburned skin
and acne-prone skin where redness is common.
The
Neova™
Gentle Purifying Mask - An intensely soothing mask that gently purifies
the skin. A blend of botanical oils moisturize while cleansing impurities from
sensitive skin. Two forms of licorice are combined with green tea to calm
irriated, sensitive skin. Sensitive and dry complexions are normalized; skin
feels clean and smooth.

This NEW product from Neova contains their patented GHK Copper Peptide
Complex™ in an elegant cream base with SPF-15 protection for daytime use. Helps
improve the appearance of wrinkles while protecting your skin from the sun!x
Copper peptides work both as an antioxidant as well as helping stimulate
fibroblast activity, resulting in collagen production. This helps rebuild those
broken fibers that result in sagging wrinkling skin.
Perfect for anyone with sensitive skin concerns or rosacea looking for
rejuvenation options.
Use this during the daytime with the Neova Eye Therapy and at night, use Neova
Night Therapy with their Eye Therapy for ideal results.

COPPER PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGY
Copper is an element essential to a number of physiologic processes in the
human body, yet has not enjoyed the same degree of consumer understanding as
iron and zinc. The presence of copper in living tissues has been known for more
than 200 years. Early medicinal applications of copper typically involved
treatment of painful joints and muscles using copper bracelets, or
copper-containing ointments. Scientific studies have clearly defined a role for
copper in the regulation of growth, development, and function of the human body.
Less than 1 mg of copper is available in the typical daily American diet.
Through a complicated series of exchanges, copper finds its way into the blood
system, bound primarily to ceruloplasmin. Copper is utilized by essentially
every cell; resulting in the intracellular formation of copper-dependent enzymes
- including cytochrome c oxidase (energy production) and superoxide dismutase (antioxidation).
Copper is also essential for other enzymes including lysyl oxidase (crosslinking
of elastin and collagen) and dopamine beta hydroxylase (catecholamine
formation). In the 1970's, scientists isolated a sequence of amino acids (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine;
GHK) in human serum that bound copper, and used that initial piece of
information to build a peptide copper-based technology with implications in
anti-aging and tissue repair processes.
Not all copper is the same! Recent studies have shown that
copper salts and GHK peptide added separately did not stimulate collagen
synthesis. (12) ProCyte’s patented complexation of the GHK
peptide to copper has been a dynamic breakthrough in copper therapeutics.
Through careful formulation and clinical guidance, ProCyte has been able to
develop a number of innovative GHK Copper Peptide products to treat a wide range
of conditions. ProCyte conducted and published a number of wound healing
clinical studies showing the benefits of GHK-Cu (Iamin®, Prezatide Copper
Acetate). (3,4) The activities of the compound
were supported by research studies showing positive effects on collagen
deposition (5), tensile strength (6),
angiogenesis (7), and SOD activity. (8)
Published studies on hair growth using a different copper peptide compound
demonstrated the positive influence of copper on hair follicle cycle regulation.
(9) More recent studies have demonstrated GHK copper’s positive
impact in diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (11)
Utilizing the knowledge that copper peptides provide an essential function
relative to tissue repair and skin health, it is ProCyte's goal to provide the
clinician with safe and effective products to enhance the healing outcome of
cosmetic surgery and hair transplant procedures, leading to a more effective
procedure and improved results. The GraftCyte® System, Complex Cu3®
and Iamin® family of products incorporate both the science of copper peptides,
and the known benefits of moist wound healing. (10)
The Neova® line of anti-aging products provides GHK Copper Peptide Complex™
in cosmetically elegant formulations for daily skin care.
ProCyte continues to explore new applications for copper peptide complexes
bringing new innovation to physicians and consumers to help improve outcomes and
quality of life.
