The Ultimate Illuminating Treatment
Advanced Skin Biomechanical Research
Uneven, hyper-pigmented zones in the skin are a direct result of the skin's ageing arising from an altered function of the melanin- producing pigment cells (melanocytes). Melanin synthesis has been studied extensively by SOTHYS scientists and the results have led to a better understanding of these highly complex biomechanical processes and the factors that affect melanin synthesis.
The actives of the [W.] Cosmeceutical Institute Treatment work by combining a ‘laser-like' exfoliation of the skin together with a unique ingredient, MSH-ControlTM which works "upstream" to help inhibit excessive melanin production in the epidermis.
It is essential that the [W.] Lightening Serum (home care product) be linked with a 5-10 treatment course of the professional strength [W.] Cosmeceutical Institute Treatment for the very best results in the overall reduction of excessive melanin staining in the skin.
Treatment Product Review
[W.] Cosmeceutical Institute Treatment acts in 5 essential phases:
- AHA/ bHA Preparation: The first phase exfoliates pigmented cells from the surface of the skin with a hydroxyl acid solution boosted with calming licorice extract.
- Papaya Instant Radiance Peel-Off Mask: Double exfoliating action of papaya enzymes and mechanical removal of dead skin cells reinforces the keratolytic action of the treatment while the lemon extract lightens the skin.
- Lightening Serum - pure Vit C: This serum creates an overall lightening effect and optimises the bioavailability of Vitamin C to the skin as a potent anti-oxidant and helps to inhibit excessive melanin production.
- Lightening Modelling Gel: A massage gel based on agarium (brown algae) helps to inhibit enzymes responsible for melanogenesis and softens and hydrates the epidermis at this phase of the treatment.
- Lightening Instant radiance cream: In this final phase a radiance cream with Camomile and white tea together with the MSH LighteningTM complex supports the skin and slows down the melanisation by helping to inhibit alpha-MSH.
