Peels and replicating activity in the young, are designed to quickly remove the top healthier, functioning cell layer. layers of the epidermis; thus revealing the fuller, lower level, more active cells. Since hormone activity decreases with age, our Swich treatment will boost activity at the most important level. Square, Active Dermal Cells Swich increases dermal cellular activity for 30 days. This causes the lower level dermal cells to produce more collgen, elastin, increases the skin cells' mitrochondrial activitiy and increases subcutaneous circulation to the skin. As the newly strengthened cells move up to the epidermis, their activity will still decrease, but at a much slower rate. They will eventually flatten out and sough off.

Subcutaneous Tissue As a woman ages her skin's cellular activity slows from a cellular turnover rate of 20 days to a cellular turnover rate of 60 days or more. Worst of all female hormonal activity and sebacous gland activity decreases (Estrogen, Progesterone and oils) each year she gets older. Combine that with years of expressions and sleeping on the face and she starts to develop those pesky-looking deep crevices in her dermis -called wrinkles. Her family genetics play a huge role too. Sadly, if that isn't enough torture for the typical women, the thick, fatty, cushiony layer-called the subcutaneous tissue with nutrient and oxygenate blood that feeds and supports the skin (especially under the eye and in the cheek areas) breaks down and thins out causing drier, dull, sagging, thin, crepey, wrinkled looking skin. The eyelids start to droop, under the eyes start to appear dark and puffy. Repeated unprotected sun exposure causes areas of hyper-pigmentation on both the face and the hands.
