Method of treating aging skin and wrinkles using a combination of growth factors that is commercially prepared or derived from one's own blood

摘要

The invention is a method of treating aging skin and wrinkles by using a combination of commercially prepared growth factors, platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) incorporated into a cosmetic and/or a pharmaceutical preparation and applied to the face to stimulate skin cell renewal and fibroblasts to divide and synthesize elastin, collagen, proteoglycans, and new connective tissue, thereby reducing wrinkles, restoring elasticity, resiliency, and suppleness to the skin. The invention is also a method of treating aging skin and wrinkles using an individual's own blood to obtain the serum and plasma fractions which are rich in platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), and insulin-like growth factors, (IGF-I and IGF-II. The plasma and serum containing the growth factors are incorporated into a cosmetic and/or a pharmaceutical preparation and applied to the face to stimulate skin cell renewal and fibroblasts to divide and synthesize elastin, collagen, proteoglycans, and new connective tissue, thereby reducing wrinkles, restoring elasticity, resiliency, and suppleness to the skin.
