Growth factor (3GF) has recently become a common ingredient in basic skin care products.
So what exactly does 3GF do for your skin?
Growth factor is a protein produced in the body that promotes the proliferation and differentiation of target cells.
It is therefore essential for the maintenance of life, but it peaks in adolescence and declines with age. This is one of the factors of aging, along with reactive oxygen species.
By supplementing with growth factors, the skin can maintain its youthfulness.
There are many types of growth factors, but the growth factors for skin are 3GF (EGF, FGF, and IGF).
EGF: Epidermal Growth Factor works in synergy with FGF to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the dermis and promote turnover.
It targets firmness and clarity, and also prevents hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and wrinkles. It is even used in plastic surgery for skin grafting.
FGF: Fibroblast Growth Factor works together with EGF to support collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid synthesis in the dermis. This helps fight blemishes, dullness, and acne scars.
EGF and FGF, when combined together, create a synergistic effect.
IGF: Insulin-like Growth Factor improves the function of EGF and FGF, promotes the regeneration of broken skin cells, and removes waste products.
When such 3GF is infiltrated into the skin, collagen, elastin, ceramide, and other skin components are supplemented, and the skin looks beautiful. This is a so-called anti-aging measure.
The measures taken by medical institutions to inject 3GF into the skin are essentially different from collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid injections.
This is because collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are absorbed as time passes.
On the other hand, 3GF works fundamentally on the skin cells, so you can maintain your skin's beauty for a long time just by taking care of it normally every day afterwards.
It stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid at the cellular level, and works slowly and steadily on blemishes, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
It is said that 3GF is the final conclusion of anti-aging care.
