Lasers are monochromatic which means they have a single-color wavelength. LEDs are inexpensive and easy to make and can be often be seen in electronic equipment as an ON and OFF indicator. Lasers meet scientific standards and achieve hair growth results that LEDs could never achieve LED light spreads out and doesn’t have the narrow focus and follicle penetration that medical grade lasers do, making it way less effective.

The quality of hair growth lasers is more important than the quantity of them. Theradome’s medical grade lasers deliver 5x more dosage than caps containing 200-300 lasers. Our proprietary VL680 lasers are made in the US at the superior wavelength of 680 nanometers. This means that we can get much deeper and stimulate the hair follicle 2.5x more than at 650 nm so you can achieve faster and much better results for keeping and growing your hair back.

Theradome hair growth lasers penetrate up to 5 mm into the scalp with cool lasers that deliver a continuous optimum dosage throughout each 20-minute treatment session.

No. If anything, it feels like a cat licking your face. Infusion gives a sandpaper feel accompanied by a tingle to the skin that only lasts for about 30-45 minutes after use.

If using professionally, change the tip for each client. Build this cost into your treatment costs.

Consider retailing the device to your client after providing your in-clinic Skin Wand service. Show your client how to clean the nano tip after the service and they get an added value bonus 3 sessions with the tip you used during the service.

With proper cleaning, the tips can be reused 3-4 times by the same person. Tips should not be shared by different people.

The Theradome is more convenient with its cordless, hands-free operation, and provides full scalp coverage. You can do other relaxed activities such as watching TV or read a book during your laser hair treatment.

Theradome lasers deliver at 680 nm penetrating deep into the scalp reaching the base of the hair follicles, depositing an energy dosage optimal for stimulation for a 20-minute laser hair growth treatment. Theradome lasers penetrate up to 5 mm into the scalp with cool lasers that continuously deliver the optimum dosage throughout each 20-minute treatment session.

A laser comb/brush provides far less coverage with lasers only delivering at 650 nm for less effective results and requires constant hand movement, not providing a constant and even dose. Theradome is 427x more powerful than the laser comb/brush.

Laser bands also provide far less coverage, having to move to a different position every 30 seconds. This can be tiring, inconvenient, and it prevents you from going about your day. Theradome is 57x more powerful than a laser band.

Yes. Do not use SWP Nano Infusion if you are currently going through cancer treatments, on Accutane (Isotretinoin) for acne, have active breakouts. Also, alternate days if you are on tretinoin/Retin A/Vitamin A treatments. By using this on alternating days you avoid over exfoliating the skin and possibly causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and irritation.

The purpose of the FDA 510(k) is to validate the safety and effectiveness of a medical device. In order to protect people from false claims and dangerous medical equipment, the United States requires rigorous testing that includes laboratory and clinical trials to prove both safety and effectiveness. Data derived from these studies, which must meet specific requirements, are submitted to the FDA via a 510(k) submission form for review and clearance to legally market the medical device.

Keeping a visual record is the easiest and most effective way of tracking your hair growth progress. Take photos of your hair before you begin your laser hair growth treatments and then at regular stages as you continue to use your Theradome.

Using the Skin Wand Pro Nano Infusion Pen, you are able to create microscopic channels in the skin. This process is pain free, blood free, and no downtime. You get all the benefits of microneedling without the adverse reactions.

The Theradome LH80 contains 80 proprietary lasers while the Theradome EVO LH40 contains 40 proprietary lasers. The lasers deliver at 680 nanometers, the optimal wavelength for the deepest penetration into the scalp of up to 5 mm into the hair follicle, ensuring optimal hair growth. It delivers maximum power by increasing its blood flow and allowing the nutrients your hair needs to stop hair loss, thicken existing hair, and promote new hair growth.

Two to Three times per week or consult with your esthetician.

The SWP Nano Infusion Pen can address a wide selection of skin conditions and concerns. It can fade hyperpigmentation, plump fine lines and wrinkles, smooth over skin tone and texture. It can even help refine acne scares and keep rosacea under control.

In Theradome clinical studies, ALL participants benefited from using the Theradome laser hair growth helmets and experienced one or more of the following:

1. A minimization and slowing down of hair loss,

2. A doubling of hair follicle size for existing hair,

3. New hair growth.

Speed 1 & 2 are best for brand new users or more sensitive skin. Level 3 can be used for more robust skin or for those who have been using the device for at least 3 weeks.

Results have been observed in the following steps:

Step 1: (4 – 18 weeks) Minimizing hair loss by slowing it down.

Step 2: (18 – 26 weeks) Reversing miniaturization by thickening existing hair.

Step 3: (26 – 52 weeks) Renewing and growing new hair.

Individual results may vary based on several factors including your current stage of hair loss, current health, possible existence of underlying medical conditions, and your genetics.

The Skin Wand Pro was specifically designed to be used with the Hydra Bright and 24K Peptide serums. However, the Skin Wand Pro can be used to improve the efficacy of any serum/liquid-based homecare products.

Theradome's laser hair growth helmet is designed to effectively treat the earlier stages of hair loss, I-1 to II-2 for women and IIA to V for men. The Savin Scale for women and the Norwood Scale for men measure overall thinning and density. See the diagrams below to determine which stage best identifies your situation.

Once you achieve the desired results, we recommend a maintenance treatment schedule of two 20-minute sessions per week for the Theradome PRO LH80 and four 20-minute sessions per week for the Theradome EVO LH40. Laser hair therapy is similar to exercise – you have to integrate it in your lifestyle to continue enjoying the benefits.

Most Retinol products are prescribed for a 2 to 3 day a week usage. The Skin Wand Pro should be used on opposite days of the week. Consult your skin care professional.

The Theradome laser hair growth helmet is very simple to use! Follow these four steps.

1. Press the master switch to initiate treatment.

2. Place the helmet on your head and the treatment will begin automatically.

3. The helmet has a built-in speaker that will provide voice command updating you on the status of your treatment.

4. After 20 minutes, the Theradome will automatically turn off when the treatment is completed.

You can enjoy light activities during your treatment such as browsing the web, watching TV, or reading a book.

Possible side effects to Nano Infusion are but not limited to: - Redness - Sun sensitivity - Rough texture after 24 hrs - Tingly sensation directly after

Everyone! The Skin Wand Pro Nano Infusion Pen is safe for all skin types and tones.

The Theradome PRO LH80 is recommended for 20 minutes a day, 2x a week.

The Theradome EVO LH40 is recommended for 20 minutes a day, 4x a week.

The laser hair growth helmet can be used at any time. Maximize your laser phototherapy treatments by using your Theradome when your hair is damp (not wet) or towel-dried (not blow-dried) right after a shower so you can comb and expose the thinning areas in your scalp that might not be accessible when dry. Exposing those areas of your scalp will provide more light and dosage to those areas. You do not need to wet your hair every time.

When you are including the Skin Wand Pro Nano Infusion at-home pen to your regular homecare routine, it should only take you 5-10 minutes if you are concentrating on the full face. Time greatly reduces if you are concentrating on targeted areas, such as the eye area and/or lips

Treatments are cleared by the FDA for twice-a-week usage for the PRO LH80 and four times per week for the EVO LH40, and we recommend following this regimen. However, we have had patients that use our laser hair therapy helmets every day with absolutely no side effects and excellent results.

If you decide to go beyond our twice-a-week recommended usage, please allow 12 hours of rest in between each treatment.

You will see immediate results after just one use. These results will be improvement of texture and plumping of lips and/or fine lines. Permanent results and improvement in wrinkles will be seen as early as 3 weeks when used 3 times a week. Results may vary.

The Theradome VL680 proprietary lasers target the individual hair follicles to minimize hair loss by slowing it down, reversing miniaturization by thickening existing hair, and renewing and growing new hair.

Absolutely! Skin Wand Pro At-Home Nano Infusion Pen can be combined with treatments such as at-home microcurrent, LED Light Therapy, and even at-home HiFu treatments.

Laser phototherapy works on all skin types. While the Theradome is FDA cleared for Fitzpatrick Skin Types 1 – 4 (due to a limited number of subjects, data for skin types 5 and 6 is currently unavailable), we have had darker-skinned customers who have experienced great hair growth results with the Theradome.

Embark on a journey to uncover the captivating realm of nano infusion and the remarkable depth of its transformative tip! At a mere 0.15mm, the nano infusion tip wields a power that captivates the skin into a healing response, triggering a cascade of revitalization without the need for actual injury.

The Art of Controlled Inflammation

The .15mm depth of the nano infusion tip orchestrates a symphony of skin rejuvenation by simulating a healing response without inflicting injury. This depth artfully tricks the skin into believing it's injured, prompting the onset of controlled inflammation - a pivotal stage where the real magic unfolds.

Unveiling the Inflammatory Stage's Secret

In the realm of controlled inflammation lies the essence of skin revitalization. It's during this stage that specialized cells swoop in, purging damaged and foreign tissue, while ushering in a rush of oxygenated blood to stimulate profound healing. This controlled inflammation, facilitated by the .15mm depth, sets the stage for a spellbinding transformation without the ordeal of bleeding and pain.

The Perfect Depth for Radiant Revitalization

The face, adorned with delicate, thin skin, finds its match in the .15mm depth of the nano infusion tip. This perfect depth, intricately tailored for the face's unique composition, sets the stage for a captivating journey of skin repair and revitalization, promising an enchanting experience like no other.

Embrace the Enchantment of Nano Infusion

In the realm of skincare, the .15mm depth of the nano infusion tip emerges as the epitome of enchantment. Unveiling the secrets of controlled inflammation and captivating the skin into a healing response, this depth promises a transformative experience, paving the way for radiant, revitalized skin like never before.

When it comes to the world of permanent makeup, understanding the intricate details of various techniques is crucial. Nano infusion, a cutting-edge skin treatment, has sparked interest among beauty enthusiasts, but its interaction with permanent makeup warrants careful consideration. Depth Matters: Nano Infusion and Permanent Makeup Permanent makeup (PMU) typically penetrates the skin to a depth of 1.5mm, a relatively shallow level. Conversely, nano infusion delves to a depth of 0.15mm, significantly shallower than PMU. This variance in depth can have a notable impact on the longevity of permanent makeup, particularly when brightening ingredients are involved. Fading Concerns: Why Caution is Key The shallow nature of nano infusion can accelerate the fading of permanent makeup, especially in areas such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. Brightening ingredients used in nano infusion treatments may further expedite the fading process. Since the skin has a remarkable ability to retain pigment from PMU, it's essential to avoid altering this natural process. Educating for Informed Choices By delving into the depths, quite literally, of nano infusion and its implications for permanent makeup, we gain insight into the potential effects of this innovative treatment. Armed with this knowledge, individuals can make informed decisions, safeguarding the integrity and longevity of their permanent makeup. In essence, while nano infusion offers exciting possibilities for skin enhancement, its influence on permanent makeup underscores the importance of thoughtful consideration and informed choices.

The Theradome PRO LH80 and Theradome EVO LH40 both weigh slightly less than 16 ounces (one pound) and are very comfortable to wear.

The Theradome is designed to fit 98% of the population. The other 2% are those with generally smaller heads. Along with your Theradome, we provide you with foam pads to ensure a comfortable fit during your Theradome laser hair treatments.

Note, the Skin Wand Pro tips are disposable pieces to the device and should not be shared with another individual and should be replaced after approximately 3 uses.

Ensuring the cleanliness of the Skin Wand Pro nano tip after each use is paramount for maintaining optimal hygiene and preventing the transfer of any residual bacteria. The recommendation to use Gold Dial soap for this purpose is rooted in its antibacterial properties and its long-standing reputation for reliable cleanliness. Here's why Gold Dial soap stands out as the go-to choice for cleaning Skin Wand Pro nano tips:

The Power of Antibacterial Gold Dial Soap

Gold Dial soap has been a staple recommended by tattoo artists for decades due to its simplicity and effectiveness. With its primary function being antibacterial, it offers a reliable solution for cleansing the nano tip, ensuring that no bacteria are transferred between uses.

Accessibility and Affordability

One of the key advantages of using Gold Dial soap for cleaning nano tips is its widespread availability. This antibacterial soap can be readily found in grocery stores, convenience stores, and various retail outlets, making it a convenient and accessible choice for maintaining hygiene after each use.

Proper Cleaning Instructions

To ensure thorough cleaning of the Skin Wand Pro nano tip using Gold Dial soap, the following steps can be followed (Also refer to Youtube Video):

1. Remove Tip from Device: Gently remove the nano tip from the Skin Wand Pro device.

2. Add Gold Dial Soap: Place a small amount of Gold Dial soap in the palm of your hand.

3. Expose Nano Plate: Use your other hand to push the spring of the tip, exposing the nano plate to the surface.

4. Apply Water and Soap: Allow water to lightly run down the palm of your hand with the soap.

5. Clean the Tip: In a circular motion, move the tip around the water and soap until the product inside the tip is thoroughly cleaned out.

6. Air Dry: Release the spring and allow the tip to air dry completely before the next use.
   

By adhering to these cleaning instructions and utilizing the antibacterial prowess of Gold Dial soap, users can ensure that the Skin Wand Pro nano tips remain impeccably clean, promoting a hygienic and safe skincare experience.

Watch this short video on how to charge the Skin Wand Pro

There are two ways of charging the Theradome battery?

1. Fully charge the device and then use it without charging it until it runs out of battery.

2. Or put the helmet back on the charger after every treatment.

There are about 4-9 treatments per charge for the Theradome PRO LH80 and about 6-12 treatments per charge for the Theradome EVO LH40. How you want to charge your Theradome laser hair growth helmet is up to you.

The hair growth lasers in the Theradome are red, part of the visible spectrum of light, and will not cause damage to the eyes. Since the lasers are very bright, a three-step safety system has been implemented that prevents laser light from accidentally shining into your eyes. If you intentionally defeat this system, the lasers will still cause no harm, but we do not recommend staring into your Theradome for any reason.

The electrical products are UL-Listed, manufactured in compliance with U.S. standards, and can operate with electrical outlets between 100 – 240 V (50 Hz / 60 Hz).

Theradome lasers last about 18,000 treatments, and Theradome batteries last about 3 to 5 years depending on usage. Replacement batteries are available for purchase.

They are 100% medical grade silicone, the same type that is used in treating scars and burns. There are no allergy causing additives or adhesives used in the manufacturing process. They are not transdermal and therefore do not penetrate your skin.

The pads are to be worn on clean dry skin with absolutely no product or lotions underneath. Using lotions can interfere with the adhesive quality of the pads and can also cause rashes and reactions. Night sweats, hot flashes and perspiration can interfere with the adhesive quality of the pads as well. If you are experiencing this, wipe the skin with witch hazel and allow to dry prior to applying the pad.

Our pads are designed to be worn while you sleep. The best results are from a prolonged period of use — about 7-8 hours. The results can also depend on the type of pad being used, since some areas of the body are more susceptible to wrinkles than others. For example, when using Decollette Pads, you should see results overnight and the results last longer as you do not recreate the wrinkle-causing position right away (usually sleeping on your side). For wrinkles around your mouth, you will see longer lasting results after about two weeks of wearing the pads.

Typically, the pads are worn at bedtime. It is preferred to have 7-8 hours at a time applied to your skin. However, the pads can be used during the daytime as well.

All pads, except for our Eye Pads last 30 days or 30 applications depending on usage. After this period, the pads will lose their adhesive properties and need to be replaced. Eye Pads last a minimum of 15 applications.

They should be washed occasionally to remove skin cells and any debris. Wash with non-moisturizing soap and warm water. Then air dry on the plastic tray that's included with the pads. Place the pads with their sticky side down and return to the package as soon as they are dry.

Store them sticky side down on the plastic tray included in the packaging. Place that tray back in the package and store in a place that does not attract lint, dirt, dust, etc. A drawer would be fine.

7-8 hours of application will give you the best results.

SilcSkin pads are 100% medical grade silicone. This is the same grade and quality of silicone that is used in treating scars and burns, and also for C-section scars. The molecules of the silicone are too large to enter your system and are not transdermal. SilcSkin pads however have not been tested on women through their pregnancy. Individual results may vary. Please consult your doctor to determine whether silicone pads are safe for your use.

Yes, peptides have a natural odor. The amino acids that make up the peptide sequence also have a distinctive scent. These characteristic smells can increase with exposure to environmental conditions such as light, heat, or other products. Although still effective, these peptides can carry a more potent scent or slight color variation. It is important to keep your peptides away from extreme conditions such as a hot vehicle.

Rosacea is a vascular condition where blood vessels are proliferating too close to the skin’s surface.

Rejuvenator helps to re-establish a corrected/optimal epidermal thickness which is important in two ways.

1. Capillaries are extremely visible in thin-skinned individuals

2. An overly thick or thin epidermis may play a role in triggering angiogenesis (blood vessel development)

Whether the cause is defense or inflammation, vascularity is never desired by the client. The key is obtaining the optimum protective barrier and underlying dermal health.

PEPTI–pro-col Another goal with clients with rosacea is to have the proper balance of structural components. Collagen is one of these components.

PEPTI-repair Vascularity can be initiated from injury. Repair’s goal is to aid in a proper repair cycle. Repairing correctly could help the body recognize that over vascularization would not be necessary as the skin has successfully healed.

It doesn’t work that way. It’s not a percentage difference. However, you could say if ultra is the max, medium is about half and mild is about a third of medium.

PEPTI-tone can be used on the entire face unlike Botox (spot specific) because it is not Botox nor even a toxin.

• The issues we see with Botox are muscle atrophy and a general change in morphology.

• When treating site-specific with Botox, we are concerned about changes in other portions of the face that must occur to relieve forces across the skin. This is seen when a wrinkle in one area of the face is treated and disappears, but then re-appears as new wrinkles in other areas.

• The goal of peptides that work in the area of muscle modulation is to compete with micro-muscle contraction, as to not atrophy entirely or block messages, but to contract when voluntary and necessary. It is only the involuntary constant contraction we are targeting.

• Peptides give the benefit of still being able to contract a muscle group without atrophy. It is not necessary to be site specific with PEPTI-tone.

PEPTI-pro-col is designed to be a programmer for the proper regeneration of collagen during the normal cellular collagen regeneration.

PEPTI-correct Hp is designed to chelate metals in the skin.

Neither will exfoliate or act as a “peel.” A peel is a “Stratum Corneum Disrupter” requiring high to moderate levels of acid or base. Some peels are so aggressive they dissolve the skin. Alternatively, one can use a light peel, with low concentrations to ‘assist the system’ to self-exfoliate by breaking desmosome bonds.

Chelation is the process of sequestering metals. Many substances chelate to a greater or lesser degree. The formula is adaptive and specifically designed to remove iron and iron complexes, which appear as pigmented blotches. Chelators also sequester metals (iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, mercury, manganese) from dark-colored lipids.

Sometimes hyper-pigmentation can be misdiagnosed and be associated with scarring (disorganized collagen) instead of overproduction of melanin.

When collagen synthesizes correctly, and scared skin is remodeling, there may be some reduction in what looks like hyperpigmentation. We formulate PEPTI-pro-col with .1-1.9% partially neutralized Salicylic Acid.

PEPTI-nano mask is not just a uniform solid medium; it contains millions of microfiber in an aqueous environment. The nanofibers help to redirect the light through the mask and deliver it to the skin’s surface, instead of scattering around when using the LED itself.

Some LED manufacturers say they don’t want anything on the face except clean, dry skin.

Depending on the wavelength and the intensity of the LED light source, some machines are designed to remove the dead cell and intend to stimulate the cell regeneration. In that case, there is no need to use any medium between the skin and the light source.

Most LED machines on the market are giving lower intensity light to the skin for more cosmetic purposes. The LED is often used in combination with topical serums during LED procedures; with the serum serving the same goal of redirecting the light to the skin surface.

We currently don’t have any studies that show skin condition after use the LED with nano mask, because there are so many different LED machines out there with different attachments.

You may occasionally see crystals due to the high concentration of peptides; evaporation, temperature, and/or atmospheric pressure. The solution is still effective.

The sequence of the amino acids that makes up the peptide is what’s important.

• One sequence may lift, while another may tone or repair, even though they contain similar or even identical ingredients.

• An effective way to look at peptides is to visualize each amino acid as a letter in our alphabet.

  • These letters make up words, and these words convey unique messages to the skin.

  • Let’s look at a peptide made with four amino acids.

  • We will designate each amino acid with a letter: T-I-L-F.

  • TILF has no meaning for you

  • Now, re-arrange the letters to L-I-F-T, and you have a message that you understand

Although the ingredients are identical, the results are substantially different.

5% lactic + collagen is a leave-on, self-neutralizing, mild peel. It is used once per week, after cleansing. Other products may be applied 20 minutes after use.

Key ingredients include

• Soluble Collagen: Supports the resistance and elasticity of the skin

• Lactic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that stimulates collagen production, is an exfoliant and anti-microbial

Lactic Acid is derived from sour milk and is much milder on the skin versus glycolic and salicylic peels. Sensitive-skinned individuals tolerate this peel well.

5% lactic + collagen Lactic helps eliminate germs, toxins, and dead cells. The peeling process is very similar to how glycolic acid works.

Stop using Retin A products for at least two weeks before applying the 5% lactic + collagen peel. Retin A makes the skin very sensitive to the sun and other products.

It is important to note that it would not be suggested to combine any strong peel or exfoliating procedure with each other. You may combine PEPTI 5% lactic + collagen with an enzymatic pumpkin peel in a professional setting as the percentage of lactic acid is low.

Mild or Medium Rejuvenator, PEPTI-repair, PEPTI–pro-col in that order of effectiveness, but not order of application to the skin.

No, it does not contain bleaching agents, peroxides, hypochlorites, or percarbonates.

1: Sequesters free metal radicals

2: Inhibits/moderates pigment production

3: Sequesters and removes Lipofuscin

*Lipofuscin is the product of the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and is symptomatic of membrane damage, sun damage, or damage to mitochondria and lysosomes. In addition to substantial amounts of lipid content, lipofuscin is known to contain sugars and metals, including aluminum, iron, copper, zinc, and mercury.

No, this formula does not affect a woman’s’ hormonal system or balance.

There are several chelators, which have multi-functionality.

• Several are organic acids, which are natural metal chelators, which also inhibit/moderate melanocytes production of pigmentation.

• There is also peptide chelators and inhibitors specific for removal of Lipofuscin. As you realize, Lipofuscin is predominant in age spots, sun damaged skin, and mechanically damaged skin (ancient contusions areas).

No, there are no sun sensitivities with the PEPTI-correct Hp.

Two different processes can cause Hyperpigmentation.

• One being an overproduction of pigment

• The other being a slow breakdown or degradation (metabolism) of the pigment created.

The characteristic of a chelating agent is to bind to metals.

• Certain metal molecules can stabilize melanin (the pigment molecule) in the skin. If you chelate these metals and make them unavailable to melanin, the pigmentation becomes easier to break down or metabolize.

• This creates an environment allowing the skin to accomplish its natural goal of creating melanin when necessary and then breaking it down as it naturally would.

A quorum is a minimum number required to meet a threshold. If a quorum is not reached, bacteria will not divide as quickly or defend itself as quorum signaling justifies proper supplies and support are present in the immediate environment for a higher chance of survival.

If you can interrupt these signals, you are confusing bacteria to hold off on growth, as they perceive their environment as hostile due to a lack of necessary quorum signals from surrounding ‘allies’ (other bacteria).

Bacterial Studies

Some of the best-known examples of quorum sensing (signaling) come from studies of bacteria. Bacteria use quorum sensing to coordinate certain behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence, reproduction, and antibiotic resistance, based on the local density of the bacterial population.

• Quorum sensing can occur within a single bacterial species as well as between diverse species and can regulate a host of different processes, in essence, serving as

  • a simple indicator of population density or

  • the diffusion rate of the cell’s immediate environment

• A variety of different molecules can be used as signals. Typical classes of signaling molecules:

  • Oligopeptides in Gram-positive bacteria

  • N-Acyl Homoserine Lactones (AHL) in Gram-negative bacteria

  • Autoinducers (signaling molecules) known as autoinducer-2 (AI-2) in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria

We do not currently supply a product specifically for whiteheads.

• The Rejuvenator series helps support proper skin function, health, and provides beneficial nutrients. This support could, in turn, improve the rate at which the skin recovers.

• PEPTI-a.c.n.e. and PEPTI-repair may also be beneficial to your client’s PEPTI-a.c.n.e. has peptides that act like the natural antimicrobial peptides found on the surface of the skin. Often, when you increase skin’s defenses, you dramatically reduce the production and appearance of whiteheads.

• PEPTI-repair contains peptide messengers that are related to the healing messages also found naturally on skin during an injury. When the skin repairs and heals at an optimum rate, it reduces irritation time.

Breakout-prone skin begins to see visible improvement in weeks 2-3. Clients will still notice problem areas, but not as often. In future weeks, clients will feel congestion, but it never surfaces. From week three on, the skin begins to heal itself and re-establish its defensive systems. As the weeks pass, breakouts erupt less frequently.

Application: Apply PEPTI-a.c.n.e. twice a day. It is best used and works synergistically with Rejuvenator. The Rejuvenator product is a key item in any spa-treatment that helps provide vital nutrients and peptide messengers to support a healthy metabolism. Therefore, you are helping skin fight back with AMPs (antimicrobial peptides) while rejuvenating new healthy cells to come to the skin’s surface (helps speed up the purging process substantially); allowing the professional to provide a two-prong attack on these types of skin concerns.

*Please note that these products do not treat acne, as acne is classified as a disease. We believe if you support the skin with the proper peptides and nutrients that it can properly heal and defend itself.

Some peptides do require carriers, whether they are liposomal or chaperone molecules, while other peptides will penetrate a cell without any help at all. Peptides can activate cells in many different ways.

• Some peptides must penetrate the cell membrane to act in the cytoplasm (inside the cell) or organelles within the cells

• Others are only meant to bind to receptors on the cell surface

• Some peptides can create a reaction in the extracellular matrix (outside of the cell) that will, in turn, produce an outcome from the cell.

• There is a class of peptides known as carrier peptides! New treatments are utilizing cell-penetrating peptides to carry other molecules (that cannot penetrate) into the cells.

Each peptide has a specific destination. Viktoria De’Ann employs only the correct tools necessary to deliver each peptide to the correct cellular target. For instance, Rejuvenator utilizes phosphatidylcholine a phospholipid, while some of our other treatments use carrier molecules.

Below you will find full-text public links to help understand some of the terminologies discussed above.

The shelf-life of unopened products is one year except for our masks. Opened products have been given a 6-month shelf-life. The variance depends upon whether the product is left open, heated such as from being left in a car, cross-contaminated with other products, or touching of dropper tip to the skin or another surface, etc. All of these situations can significantly reduce shelf-life after opening.

After exfoliation procedures, we recommend nano-mask and PEPTI-repair for soothing sensitive skin. Due to heightened sensitivity, we suggest waiting 24 hours before application of Rejuvenator.

Neutral Cleanser or Gel Cleanser

Each bottle of peptides contains a little over a month’s worth of product.

• There are approximately 20 drops per milliliter.

• In a 1 oz bottle, which is approximately 30 milliliters, there are about 600 drops.

• Two applications per day of 10 drops would provide a 30-day supply.

• 5-8 drops is a standard application that should provide more than a 30-day supply.

The premise of the single application of the peptides is built on the foundation that peptides are messages. When you apply peptides to the skin, there is a flux or transport of a molecule, in this case, a peptide, to the desired cell. When the peptides reach this location, there is a message conveyed whether it be for repair, collagen production, cellular turnover, etc.

Each outcome is based on an individual unique peptide message.

Analogy -Compare cocktailing of peptides to delivering a speech to a large audience

During a mass communication, different cells (or different people in the large audience) grasp only one or two of the many messages delivered.

• This is due to the volume in which the people heard the message.

• The cells have a protection mechanism built into them to ignore “quiet” messages.

• If a specific concentration or threshold of a message isn’t met, the cell does not respond or has very little response.

We see this quite often in ‘peptide’ products on the market today. Even those that may have sound science do not meet the proper threshold, and therefore minimal results are seen. Luckily, peptides are a very potent molecule otherwise no results would be seen in this case.

With Viktoria De’Ann peptides, you see results, which means that the threshold is being met.

• If you apply one peptide, wait a few minutes and then apply the next, the first peptide has begun its transit to the target location with the following peptide a short distance behind.

• This allows a specific concentration to reach the cells, at one particular point with maximum intensity, giving optimal results.

If you combine peptides, (cocktail) they are all competing at the same time through the same channel to reach the target cell. The concentration of our peptides will still allow for results when cocktailing. However, we believe in always seeking the optimum effect.

The type of peel and the skin’s sensitivity level are key factors to consider when adding peptides. In general, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours after a peel before using our peptides. For more aggressive peels, the wait time should be at least a week and when the sensitivity of the skin subsides.

We use many different active ingredients to help fight glycation and to help with inflammation caused by the process.

• Some of these include co-enzymes (vitamins) such as B3, B5, B6

• Others are extracts and co-enzymes to help with inflamed skin such as tocopherols, allantoin, olive, and green tea extracts.

• The first product we recommend is It comes in three strengths; Mild for sensitive skin, Medium for Normal, and Ultra for healthy skin.

  • It is always recommended to start with Mild or Medium.

  • Rejuvenator contains many of the co-enzymes necessary for fighting glycation along with other actives to help with inflammation.

  • The secondary and possibly most important reason for using Rejuvenator is that you are providing most of the necessary nutrients to create a healthy environment and therefore healthy skin. When our skin is healthy, it is more prepared to metabolize and fix molecules of this destructive nature.

A second product to recommend would be PEPTI-repair. Although not as loaded with co-enzymes and extracts PEPTI-repair’s active is a repairing PEPTIDE released by skin cells when damaged. The release of this peptide initiates many of the natural repair mechanisms necessary for the skin to recognize damaging glycation molecules as well as address the inflammation caused by glycation.

Although plant-based peptides are peptides, they are not the natural messages utilized by the human body. The peptide codes are not the same. Although the code or sequence may be 60-70% similar, the other 30% of the sequence makes it unique.

If we represented this peptide messaging with a sentence the difference could be easily seen, for example:

Plant peptide (in plant) for Growth factor reads Cells, please divide.

Plant peptide (in human) for Growth factor reads Cels, plese okyide.

The message looks similar, but the 30% difference changes the message and makes it unrecognizable by the skin.

Dependent upon the manufacturer of the device, the thickness of the client’s skin, and other variable factors such as state regulations and needle depth, it may or may not be advisable to apply Viktoria De’ann Peptides during your needling treatment.

Cosmetics and cosmeceuticals are not approved to be used on open wounds.

All pharmaceutical grade L – forms of amino acids are biologically active by definition. Viktoria De’Ann utilizes our unique sequence of formulizations to synthesize these amino acids into specific peptide messengers that become biologically active within the body.

Peptides produce biological responses beneficial to the skin. Unlike topical moisturizers, peptides target the growth (Dermal) areas of the skin. As these cells mature, they produce a result (change) on the outer layers of the skin (epidermis). What is great about Viktoria Deann’s peptides is that results can be cumulative when working with the living cells of the dermis, meaning your skin never plateaus. In essence you are moving the client’s skin from a state of unhealthiness to one of optimum health, from the inside out. This allows them to actually see how beautiful their healthy skin can be.

Peptides go to work immediately within the skin so with many of our products, results are visible within minutes. This is especially the case when concentrated peptide products are combined with professional treatments. With Pepti-Lift and Pepti-Tone, results can be noticed the first time a client receives a treatment. The benefit to using Viktoria De’Ann peptides is that results are cumulative and easily noticed. A client will come back for treatment with their skin moving forward each consecutive visit.

What makes the peptides that VD offers so appealing is the ability to customize your treatment to the client’s needs. This is accomplished by offering serum treatment peptides. Each peptide offers a unique result that can be layered for a customizable treatment. Typically, our treatment serums are applied during your treatment phase. No matter what modality you use, whether a machine such as LED, Microcurrent, dermabrasion, or after a massage facial, the serums are easily applied, and a moisturizer may be applied right over the serums. It is important to note that Viktoria De’ann Cosmeceuticals were formulated on the premise of keeping the ingredients simple. One will notice in the serum peptides (PEPTI-series) it is kept to just the amino acids which make up the active peptide. In our cleansers and moisturizers, only those ingredients which are vital and beneficial to the skin were incorporated. This was to ensure the proper amount of each ingredient could be formulated to produce a clinical product.

After cleansing, apply desired serum peptides (PEPTI-) followed by any cream-based peptide product (Rejuvenator). Then moisturize with Collagen Gel, Day or Night Moisturizer. Generally, a thinnest to thickest approach is followed for order of application.

If you have received a peel, microdermabrasion or any other form of professional exfoliation, it is recommended to stop use of any peels including Lactic+Collagen serum for 7-14 days. Depending on your sensitivity to the peel, caution should be taken when using the Rejuvenator series. It is suggested that when you use Rejuvenator, you begin with Mild. Pepti-Repair is an excellent treatment to heal and repair post exfoliating treatments.

You can layer your peptides to formulate a customized treatment. This allows you to actually target the results you are looking for on your client’s skin. Professionals have reported that they experience the best results when they –lift before they –tone and also –lift or –tone before collagen stimulation (PEPTI-pro-col) or –repair. Many professionals choose to use all of the PEPTI-serums during a client’s treatments. When layering we suggest applying each serum and allow to penetrate for 1-2 minutes before applying the next. Some professionals have also reported phenomenal results from “cocktailing” their serums however for optimal results we suggest layering.

A vitamin C serum should be applied after the treatment phase (i.e., after serums). A standard home regimen would be as follows: cleanse, treat (Lift/Tone/Pro-Col/Repair/Rejuvenator/Eye Serum), moisturize. The C serum would be placed after the treatment products but before the moisturizing phase. The determination of where a product fits into the regimen is decided by its viscosity (thickness). The treatment phase typically follows a lower to higher viscosity application.
