What’s going on under your skin?

There is a gradual thinning of male skin from early adulthood. Collagen and elastin proteins are destroyed by exposure to UV light.  Other destructive factors include poor diet, stress, smoking, alcohol and inadequate skincare.

And it’s true what women have always suspected – men really are thick skinned! The good news is that this means your skin initially has a greater percentage of collagen and elastin proteins in the dermis.  These are the elements responsible for skin’s strength, elasticity, tone and texture.  The bad news is that these elements start to break down earlier, making taking action against premature ageing essential. 

Ultrasound scanning pictures (to the right) taken from a clinical study show improvements to the skin before and after IMEDEEN use.

The outer black line shows the epidermis where traditional grooming products work. The coloured elements represent collagen, elastin and moisture-retaining elements in the dermis. The brighter and more evenly distributed the colours, the better the quality of the skin. With IMEDEEN man•age•ment skincare tablets there is a significant improvement to both epidermal and dermal thickness after 3 and 6 months.
