PURPOSE
The third step of the THERADERM Skin Renewal System is the OPC Reparative Gel. Being an antioxidant 20 times more effective than Vitamin C as a free radical scavenger makes OPC a remarkable development in reparative technology. OPC heals and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin while at the same time it is preventing further damage.
Water-soluble and with molecular structure small enough to penetrate and bind within the collagen helices allows OPC to actually assist the healing and repair process of skin collagen matrix. OPC binds to collagen, reinforcing it with cross-links that make collagen physiologically stable.
OPC also participates in the biosynthesis of new collagen by assisting Vitamin C. OPC Reparative Gel is completely oil-free.
THE OPC REPARATIVE GEL ACTS TO:
- Enhance the repair of damaged collagen and elastic fiber in the dermis layer
- Rejuvenate sun-damaged skin, and inhibit UVA and UVB radiation damage
- Capture and immobilize unstable or “harmful free radical” oxygen molecules that attack body cells
- Reverse the visible signs of agin
- Reduce epidermal inflammation that contributes to tissue damage
- Promote the growth of thicker, smoother skin
- minimize edema from capillary leakage
- Recharges “spent” Vitamin C and restores it to the active available pool of Vitamin C
