DNA Skin Care At the DNA Health Institute, we address the aging process with a whole body wellness approach. We have developed treatments and products that are 100% natural, chemical and preservative free. The treatments yield dramatic results without skin tissue trauma, pain or recovery time. The all-natural products enhance the esthetic image while supporting skin and systemic wellness. All ingredients used in the DNA CryoStemTM Skin Care product system are rich in organic phytochemicals, organic phytonutrients, organic plant antioxidants, plant fragrances (no artificial fragrances added), therapeutic grade essential oils, flower essences, essential flower and seed oils, organic fresh elastin, hyaluronic acid, DNA, collagens, proteins, minerals, vitamins, lipids and nutrient rich ocean vegetation. All of our ingredients have a beneficial biological effect on human skin. DNA ProductsBy carefully sourcing natural ingredients and applying the basic scientific principles of ionic chemistry DNA Health Institute proudly formulates products without the use or need for petrochemicals, synthetic colors, fragrances, chemical preservatives, binders, thickeners, and other artificial ingredients. We create all natural products to ensure the safety and welfare of our consumers and we maintain the highest standard of product quality by purposefully excluding ingredients that are “standard” in the skin care industry. Many of these ingredients can be detrimental to skin and body health and some are potent carcinogens. However, at the DNA Health Institute, having freshness and purity of the ingredients is only the first step. Dr. Aguilar selects ingredients that have a natural attraction/affinity to each other based on the principles of ionic chemistry. This is the key to gaining the dynamic therapeutic value and full healing potential of each ingredient within a formulation. Great care is taken not to introduce ingredients that would create a repulsion (repelling or pulling away activity) that would render one or more of the ingredients in the formulation inactive or cause the ingredients to diminish or lose their vital life force. After the initial ingredients selection, the ingredients are further evaluated for their power of attraction and their ability to potentiate (to synergistically augment the activity of other ingredients). Once these key factors have been established, an herbal infusion of multiple ingredients is formulated for the purpose of behaving as one dynamic, cohesive and balanced entity (substance). This phase of the infusion is termed the marriage process. It is the synergistic process of successfully creating a marriage of active and organic herbal ingredients by following strict flow charts based on ionic chemistry. In formulating the DNA CryoStem skin care products, some ingredients are allowed to molecularly merge and bond for a period of two hours to two weeks for the purpose of acting as one integrated ingredient. At the Institute, we do not select one or more ingredients to showcase as being greater than the other ingredients in our skin care formulations. We focus on the collective benefits of the total product formulation. The end result of the marriage process is a formula far greater than its individual constituents. As a result of the marriage process, the energy (life-force) and vitality of the formulation is retained to provide superior therapeutic benefits and rapid transformation for skin rejuvenation and facial image enhancement. Nutrition is the system of consuming, absorbing and using nutrients needed by the body for growth, development, regeneration, and the maintenance of the life process. Nutrients are the natural chemical substances in foods that nourish the whole body. At the DNA Health Institute, we draw upon the same nutritional guidelines that are required for the building and maintenance of a healthy body, and we utilized these key nutrients to work with the skin’s biology and to target its specific needs The following nutrients, skin foods, are used in Derma Nutraceutical Aesthetics (DNA): PROTEINS Proteins are naturally occurring, extremely complex molecules with long chains of amino acids. These acids link in various ways to form many different proteins. Protein contains the elements of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, usually sulfur, and occasionally other elements (as phosphorus or iron). It may include many essential biological compounds (as enzymes, hormones, or immunoglobulins). Proteins are an essential component of the cell structure and are a part of the cell’s nucleolus, ribosomes, Golgi complex, and the cell membrane. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the material from which the chromosomes of a cell’s nucleus are formed, governs cell growth and inheritance. DNA instructs chemical compounds to form, or synthesize, the proteins that control specific cell functions. Contained in: CryoStem Therapy-H (Hydrating) Ampoules, CryoStem Therapy-F (Firming) Ampoule and CryoStem Lift Stick. Skin Benefits: Proteins are the basic building blocks of collagen and elastin. Sixty percent (60%) of all body collagen consists of proteins. Proteins contain amino acids and enzymes that are essential for skin physiology and regeneration. VITAMINS Vitamins are organic substances that play a key role in regulating cell functions throughout the body. The body cannot produce some vitamins, which are considered essential. Therefore, a large amount of these essential nutrients are only available to the body through diet and supplementation. Vitamins are essential for regulating both the metabolic functions within the cells and the biochemical processes that release energy from food. In addition, evidence is accumulating that certain vitamins are antioxidants, sub- stances that protect tissues from cell damage, oxidation and premature aging. Contained in: CryoStem Therapy-HTM (Hydrating) Ampoules, CryoStem Therapy-FTM (Firming) Ampoules, CryoStem Lift StickTM, and Supernatural Vitamin A Crème. TM Skin Benefits: Vitamins accelerate cell renewal; thus, fortifying the skin and contributing to the quality of skin health and resiliency. MINERALS In-Organic substances found in the earth’s crust that play a crucial role in the human body for enzyme creation, regulation of heart rhythm, bone formation, digestion, and other vital metabolic processes. Minerals are present in your body in small amounts. All together they add up to only 4% of body weight. Yet, these inorganic substances are essential for a wide range of vital functions including tissue hydration, toxin elimination and enzyme mobilization. Hair, skin, nails, and bones consist of high-levels of various minerals. As with vitamins, humans must replenish their mineral supply through diet and supplementation. DNA ProductsContained in: CryoStem Therapy-H Ampoules, CryoStem Therapy-F Ampoules, CryoStem Lift Stick, Floral Bliss,and Oceana Mineral Gel. Skin Benefits: Minerals contribute to the elasticity and tone of the skin and are essential for proper levels of skin hydration. Minerals are very important for neurological function and trauma. Minerals help the body handle all forms of stress (including environmental) and support the body in combating health challenges from poor nutrition, smoking and drugs (both prescription and recreational) which all impact the skin’s health and vitality. ENZYMES These special proteins are necessary for every chemical reaction in the body and the normal activity of cells, tissues, fluids, and organs. Enzymes digest the food consumed and are essential for the production of energy required for running the body. Specific enzymes have been proven, both clinically and medically, to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamins, minerals, and hormones require enzymes in order to function properly. Contained in: All DNA CryoStem Skin Care Products Skin Benefits: Enzymes help to accelerate the natural process of skin desquamation (exfoliation). Enzymes create a delivery vehicle to maximize the penetration of the DNA CryoStem skin products and enhance the DNA professional treatments. PHYTOCHEMICALS Therapeutic compounds found in fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, and other plants that may help alleviate symptoms of some ailments and protect the body. Phytonutrients are nutrients found in plants that are believed to protect the plant from sunlight and environmental damage. Research suggests that phytonutrients found in fruits and vegetables may play an important role in protecting human cells from damage as well. Phytochemicals are considered molecularly compatible with the body creating a harmonious relationship in the production of hormones that contribute to anti-aging benefits. Contained in: All CryoStem skin care therapy products except for the CryoStem Therapy-H, CryoStem Therapy-F and CryoStem Lift Stick. Skin Benefits: Phytochemicals are potent antioxidants from the plant kingdom that are used to counteract and repair free-radical damage of cell tissue. ANTIOXIDANTS Safe and potent substances that protect cells from the damaging effects of highly reactive oxygen molecules called free radicals. The body makes some antioxidants; others, such as vitamins C and E, are obtained through diet or supplementation. Contained in: Naturally found in all CryoStemTM skin care therapy products. Skin Benefits: Antioxidants protect skin cells from free-radical activity, damage and aging. ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFAs) They are the building blocks that the body uses to make fats. The body must get various kinds of EFAs through diet or supplements (such as fish oil, flaxseed oil, borage oil, and various other vegetable sources) to assure proper health. Essential Fatty Acids build healthy nerves and protect against nerve damage, keep arteries supple, improve blood flow and circulation, reduce inflammation, promote skin healing, control the cell’s use of nutrients, and produce hormone-like substances called postaglandins, which stimulate contraction of blood vessels. In addition, EFAs are essential for immunological function. Contained in: CryoStem Therapy-H (Hydrating) Ampoules, CryoStem Therapy-F (Firming), CryoStem Lift Stick, and All Booster Shots. Skin Benefits: Adequate amounts of EFAs will contribute to the anti-aging process and healthy skin free of hyper pigmentation, inflammatory conditions, and improved circulation to the skin with a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. EFAs provide sufficient and consistent circulation to the tissue cells and assist in the release of cellular toxins. The toxins are transported through the circulation for disposal by the body’s eliminative system. AMINO ACIDS The protein in food and in your body is a combination of chemical units called amino acids. Every cell in the body needs and uses amino acids. Your body breaks down the protein from foods into its individual amino acids, which are then recombined to create the specific types of proteins the body requires. Each cell, in fact, is programmed to produce exactly the right combination for its needs. There are two types of amino acids, non-essential and essential. The body can manufacture non-essential amino acids, but must obtain essential amino acids from the foods consumed. Amino acids are needed to maintain and repair muscles, tendons, skin, ligaments, organs, glands, nails, and hair. Contained in: CryoStem Thpy-H, CryoStem Therapy-F, CryoStem Lift Stick,Enzyme Firming Masque as the amino acid, Proline, and in all other daily skin care products as the amino acid, Glycine. Skin Benefits: Amino acids are the most basic elements of skin structure and, therefore, are involved in every aspect of healthy skin. Deficiency of amino acids results in the diminishing of skin integrity and skin aging. Insufficient amino acids make the skin more prone to disease conditions and breakdown of collagen and elastin. HORMONES Any of various chemical messengers, produced by the adrenal, pituitary, thyroid, ovaries, testes, and other glands, that have far-reaching effects throughout the body. Hormones regulate everything from growth and tissue repair to metabolism, reproduction, blood pressure, as well as the body’s response to stress. Progesterone: A sex hormone secreted by the ovaries and placenta that prepares the lining of the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg. Clinical studies reveal a strong evidence of anti-aging benefits are achieved and maintained through the single hormone, progesterone. As the body ages, levels of progesterone diminish. Contained in: All DNA CryoStem Moisturizers (medical grade progesterone) Skin Benefits: Progesterone helps maintain the proper skin pigmentation, elasticity, and a youthful luminosity to the skin. It supports the skin in being less prone to the formation of lines and wrinkles.
