Underlying the value of stem cells in promoting health and regeneration is their versatility. Stem cells can be programmed to become many different types of cells, providing the potential for tissue regeneration and other remarkable healthcare applications. International Stem Cell Corporation, through the development of parthenogenesis, a unique process for deriving stem cells without the need for fertilized embryos, has opened the door to improved production and the potential treatment of many diseases.
In addition to International Stem Cell’s ongoing research into stem cell production and the treatment of disease, the company also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, called Lifeline Skin Care, which develops and produces high-end cosmetic products designed to promote the health and vitality of human skin. Taking advantage of the company’s parthenogenetic technology and nanotechnology, Lifeline scientists are creating skin cream formulations containing stem cell extracts discovered to help prevent and repair damaged skin.
According to Gregory S. Keller, MD, FACS (2007 Specialist of the Year in Facial Cosmetic Surgery in Strathmore’s “Who’s Who”): “These new day and night serums represent a huge step forward in anti-aging skin care products. Combining liposome-encapsulated proteins derived from ISCO’s powerful new class human stem cells with a unique blend of anti-oxidants, vitamins and natural extracts, allowed Lifeline Skin Care to create highly effective stem cell-based serums that provide strong anti-aging benefits.”
As a part of ISCO, with access to their proprietary technology, Lifeline Skin Care has set a new standard for cosmeceuticals. Based upon science more than marketing, they are developing the best-in-class skincare products, and are making Lifeline Skin Care available to qualified professionals, including:
• Dermatologists
• Plastic surgeons
• Med-spas
• Destination and Resort Spas
• Better Day Spas
