Aging and cutaneous tone

According to Le Bozec and Belaich , cutaneous aging is characterized by the deterioration of the cutaneous coating, resulting from years of accumulation of progressive modifications of its different constituents.

Today , we are able to distinguish that this deterioration process is caused by two mechanism:

•  inevitable intrinsic aging changes that are especially found on photo-protected areas,

•  aging caused by environmental factors, the first being the actinic factor that occurs on photo-exposed areas, where one could take preventive measures.

Indeed , these two processes have different clinical demonstrations and different cellular, biological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms.

If , during the aging process, all the structures of skin are altered, some fundamental changes prevail in the dermis.

It is the functional attack on the fibroblast and the interstitium that seems to have the most important role in the development of cutaneous aging. The intrinsic and actinic aging processes are both characterized by a decrease in the normal and therefore functional elastic fibers.

•  The structural modifications, at the dermal level, include alterations of elastic fibers and collagen, modifications of fibroblasts, such as their depletion, the reduction and loss of cohesion with the interstitium ; and other modifications, such as the alteration of the microcirculation which decreases and becomes disorganized.

•  The mechanical properties of skin : skin can be considered like a visco-elastic material which is not linear, nor homogeneous. There are numerous methods used to explore the extensibility and the elasticity of skin . These two parameters characterize skin aging by showing its resistance to the distortion and its capacity to regain its initial state after distortion.

The tonometry measures the extensibity of skin in a perpendicular plane to its surface. It consists in progressively applying a constant traction at the skin's surface and measuring the distortion on it. It uses the suction of the skin to evaluate the vertical extensibility(cutometer).

Definition / composition

FIRMIDERM LS 9120 is an original, patented active ingredient, consisting of a synergistic combination of plant substances. It was especially developed to bring tensor, firming and astringent effects to the skin.

Main components:

FIRMIDERM LS 9120 is composed of substances and plant extracts from three plants,one of which being from a new patented exotic origin :

•  Terminalia catappa (Combretaceae Leaves) Polyphenols

•  Sambucus nigra L. (Caprifoliaceae Flowers) Polyphenols, and Flavonoids

•  Quercus lusitanica (Fagaceae Walnut) Polyphenols

Skin benefits

Thanks to the synergistic effect of its botanical extracts,rish with polyphenols and flavonoids, FIRMIDERM LS 9120 :

•  reinforces the skin elasticity and tonicity , while reducing cutaneous hyperlaxity.

•  provides and anti-aging action by tissular structuring effect and encourages the improvement of microcirculation.

Cosmetic use

FIRMIDERM LS 9120 is recommend for facial and body care, as well as make-up treatment :

•  facial care : in anti-aging,anti-wrinkle,tonifying,firming and eye contour products. FIRMIDERM LS 9120 can be formulated in tonic lotions,gels,serums, day and night emulsions.

•  body care : in firming , tonifying and restructuring products. FIRMIDERM LS 9120 can be used in products for the bust,neck,body (legs).

•  make-up FIRMIDERM LS 9120 can be used in make ups, foundations.
