Ultraviolet Radiation
UV irradiation disrupts the collagen matrix by two independent
pathways
 Anabolic pathway
• Reduces procollagen synthesis
• Increase in non-functional latent TGFß protein
• Downregulate expression of TGFR
 Catabolic pathway
• Increases matrix metalloproteinases
• Auto-dimerization (activation) of EGFR
• Increase in AP-1
• Inhibitors of TGFß

Proposed Mechanism of Action of Growth
Factor Cosmeceuticals
•
•
•
Large hydrophilic molecules unlikely to
penetrate skin barrier but may penetrate through
follicles, sweat glands and damaged skin
Produce epidermal signaling cytokines which
affect dermal fibroblasts
Mechanism is not elucidated
CONCLUSIONS
Human growth factor cosmeceuticals are effective for skin
rejuvenation
Multiple growth factor cosmeceuticals are particularly
beneficial as demonstrated in several clinical studies
Growth factor cosmeceuticals may be also helpful
to improve outcome after cosmetic and dermatologic
procedures
Additional studies warranted to further elucidate promising
technology: double blinded placebo controlled studies -both
clinical and at molecular level
Topical treatment of Photoaged Skin
Sunscreens as protection against ongoing damage
and combination of
Tretinoin Alpha hydroxy acids
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Botanical antioxidants
Growth factor cosmeceuticals
QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED OF
COSMECEUTICALS
Can agent penetrate?
Does agent have MOA in target tissue?
Is there peer-reviewed data to support claim?
PERSPECTIVES FOR
PHOTOAGING
Provide patient with sound reasonable advise
about cosmeceuticals
Prospective objective studies are needed
CONCLUSIONS
Popularity of noninvasive treatments of photoaging
( cosmeceuticals) useful when care is taken to
construct a treatment regimen based on
understanding of the molecular mechanisms in
place
Patient needs to have realistic expectations and
know limitations of products
CONCLUSIONS
Assess the patient relative to what bothers patient
Recognize that each of these therapies offers mild
to modest effects but may prove more efficacious
when used in combination
