Powerful Peptides Neuro Blocker = Botox like Results & Reorganizes Aging Dermal Cells Every cell needs protein to maintain its life. Peptides are the building blocks of protein and are contained in every living thing. Peptides can be found as hormones, enzymes, antibiotics, and receptors. Peptides are easier to reproduce synthetically than a protein due to their size. This allows better penetration but can also initiate irritation. Irritation is Too much irritation to the skin causes aging. This has been found to be true with numerous people over-using exfoliants as anti-aging measures. More is not better when using an abundance of retinol and AHA s. Your age management must be balanced balance. Lira Clinical s philosophy is: Peel with Heal, a balanced and healthy approach to age management.

Peptides stimulate keratin growth Strengthen keratin for better lash retention TM (Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1) Stimulates hair bulb proliferation Allows for better hair shaft retention Results seen in as little as 2 weeks 20
Plant stem cells (PSC) are the plants foundation cells. They are located in the bulb, root or stem of the plant also known as the meristem. They are the origin of the plant s vitality supplying precursor cells forming various plant tissues and organs. These cells also aid in repair and regeneration. PSCs create new cells to grow or replace specialized tissues. You can see PSCs at work when you place a bulb or stem in water. It will begin to root and form a completely new plant or repair its self. Plant stem cells are utilized in cosmetics as they are nature s liposomes that are completely compliant with our skin. energy level in cells for better repair. located in the plant s meristems for cell renewal. Recently, researchers have begun looking to plants as a source for stem cells, and those plant stem cells have proven to be effective in supporting the skin s cellular turnover. Like human stem cells, plant stem cells develop according to the environment they re in. The idea for using plant stem cells in skin care stemmed from an unusual source: an almost-extinct apple tree in Switzerland. Originally bred in the 18th century for their incredible shelf life, Uttwiler Spätlauber apples shrank into long-lasting freshness was its ability to heal itself. If an apple was scratched while still on the tree, the fruit s skin would quickly regenerate and close the wound. Luckily, the Uttwiler Spätlauber, and the plant stem cells that gave it its staying power, caught the attention of researchers just in the nick of time. Researchers found a way to extract stem cells from the bark of the tree and generate new ones in a lab. They then started to investigate how human cells would react to them. The results were astonishing. They found the apple s stem cells could stimulate human stem cell proliferation by 80 percent and could protect human stem cells against UV damage. Today, applications for their cell repair and protection abilities. One exciting area of research for plant stem cells is treating skin problems such as wrinkles, distended capillaries, and photo damage. Like all areas of the body, the skin contains stem cells. In the basal layer of the epidermis, stem cells divide and replace lost or dying cells. They also repair the skin when it suffers injury. The epidermis is in a constant state of renewal so it requires non-stop cell replacement. As we age, it is even more important to continue to renew our skin with healthy cells. The aging process can slow cell turnover down as well as cripple new keratinocytes in reaching the stratum corneum s surface. 21
