Since the first introduction of plant-derived stem cells for advanced skincare products, they have attained a valid place among other well-known and effective active ingredients, such as peptides, vitamins, and cell growth factors. In contrast to human epidermal stem cells, plant stem cells are totipotent and able to regenerate an entirely new plant.
Due to their multi-potential nature and ability to renew epidermal cells, stem cells play a particularly important role in skin regeneration and skin protection from UV-induced damage. Consequently, skincare products containing plant-derived stem cells help to induce human cell proliferation and protect against UV-induced cellular damage. Using innovative plant stem cell technology, we are able now to do various stem cell-rich botanical extractions and use various plants with different properties to target different skin needs.
One of the latest biotechnological methods focuses on the transient expression of high purity proteins. In vitro transcribed mRNA can be introduced to the leaves and translated into human protein by the natural plant expression system. The method is used to produce plant-derived synthetic proteins with a 95% similarity to human growth factors.
The other innovative technology has been using plant bio-factories to obtain refined botanical extracts from the plant stem cells. It can extract under certain conditions (stress control and others) the secondary cell metabolites such as lipids, sugars, antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, as well as cell signalling molecules including peptides and cell growth factors to release the full potential of the plants. The result is the production of safe and highly effective biotechnological stem cell lysates with various rejuvenating properties targeting different skin needs.
ESSEL aesthetic meso-cocktails are highly effective solutions based on plant-innovative biotechnology containing various stem cell lysates and secretomes rich with bioactive molecules, peptides, and plant-derived cell growth factors.
Aesthet Ageing Inhibitor meso-cocktail is a highly effective bio-stimulant containing plant-derived Epidermal Growth Factor (plant-EGF), a protein involved in the regeneration of the extra-cellular matrix and Botulinum-like peptide “BOT-XINE”, that has been shown to modulate muscle contraction and expression lines.
With the combination of the other powerful actives, the meso-cocktail boosts tissue regeneration and helps combat and prevent the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Aesthet Lumine Enhancer meso-cocktail is another professional meso solution that reduces pigmentation and dark spots on the skin. It contains a complex of a synthetic molecule BRIGHT-CHROM, an effective antioxidant, and lightening agent, that diminishes the activity of the human tyrosinase and melanin content, and Plasma Rich in Cell Factors™ (PRCF) from the Punica Granatum and Arabian Cotton plant extracts.
The synergic effect of the multi-step lightening actives helps to reduce the melanogenesis and minimise the appearance of the pigmented areas and spots.
Aesthet ReShape Transmuter meso-cocktail is a unique remodelling solution to liposculpture the facial and body contour by reducing fat and sagging while tightening and redefining the tissue. It contains Plasma Rich in Cell Factors™ (PRCF) from S Crassifolia Callus Lysate, which stimulates fat mobilization and regenerates the dermal fibres and Daucus Carota Sativa Root Cell Culture Lysate. UP-LIVITY synthetic tetra-peptide helps to stimulate collagen production, improve elastin fibres assembly, and skin inner cohesion.
Aesthet ReShape Transmuter enhances resistance against gravity and ageing and redefines facial and body firmness and elasticity.
The high purity of the biomolecules, which are considered to be the next generation of plant-derived stem cell factors in the meso-cocktails, ensures the high effectiveness and safety of these meso-solutions. The products are intended for usage for professional mesotherapy and recommended for aesthetic practitioners and aesthetic specialists.
