Many of our patients actively use the fairly common terms «free radical» and "antioxidant protection," but, unfortunately, many of them do not fully understand the meaning of these words. Faced with this problem, the Laskos team of doctors I have taken care to describe these terms in sufficient detail. Estet-portal.com recalls that the antioxidant protection of cells from free radicals – this is the key to maintaining youthful skin and longevity of the whole organism. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the antioxidants used in beauty treatments.
What are free radicals and why do we need antioxidant protection against them?
Free radicals – these are incomplete atoms and molecules that lack one electron. Trying to fill the free space with a "foreign" electron, they are extremely active in chemical reactions. Having “taken away” an electron from a normal molecule and thus “restored”, they automatically turn the attacked molecule into a free radical. As a result, the rate of oxidation increases like an avalanche, a whole chain of oxidative reactions is launched, in which even those substances that were previously inert are involved.
The most important thing is that proteins, fats, DNA of living cells can become targets of free radicals.
The activation of free radicals leads to the development of various pathological processes, premature aging and the formation of malignant tumors.
Free radicals appear as a "by-product" chemical reactions taking place in the body. During the day, billions of these aggressive molecules are formed in the cells of the body. To control the process of free radical oxidation of the skin in the body, there is a system of antioxidant protection. Glutathione – the main link in this system. As long as it is present in cells in sufficient quantities, the number of free radicals does not exceed a critical level.
Glutathione as antioxidant protection of skin cells from free radicals
Own glutathione – an organic substance, a tripeptide formed by the residues of three amino acids. It is found in every living cell. In the human body, it is synthesized in the liver.
Unfortunately, after 40 years, the amount of glutathione in tissues drops by 20%. Clinically, this can be manifested by the development of atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes mellitus. Aesthetic manifestations of glutathione deficiency – these are dry skin, hypersensitivity, a tendency to inflammatory reactions, hyperkeratosis, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, telangiectasias and neoplasms.
Factors causing a decrease in glutathione levels:
- malnutrition (excess fats, preservatives);
- chlorinated water;
- exhaust gases;
- smoking and alcohol;
- violation of the regime and rest;
- use of allopathic medicines.
As you can see, almost all of the above factors surround us in everyday life.
TM Mesoesthetic has developed a unique injectable preparation, an analogue of its own Glutathione, which in aesthetic medicine will make it possible to replenish the lost level of antioxidant protection.
Glutathione TM Mesoaesthetic – it is a powerful endogenous cellular antioxidant. It has a pronounced depigmenting and immunomodulatory effect.
Glutathione functions in the body:
- is involved in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds;
- protects cells from carcinogens (smog, cigarette smoke);
- promotes the delivery of amino acids into the cell through membranes;
- regulates physiological cellular functions.
The most important functions of Glutathione – it is its anti-inflammatory action and antioxidant protection of skin cells.
Practical possibilities of using glutathione as an antioxidant protection factor
Glutathione is poorly absorbed in the digestive tract, so chemists and technologists of TM Mesoesthetic suggest you consider using this drug in the form of injections like mesotherapy:
- for preventive purposes, aware of the basic care procedures – 600 mg of Glutathione diluted per 5 ml of Organic Silicone in a course of 4-5 treatments / once every 6 months;
- for therapeutic or brightening purposes – 600 mg of Glutathione diluted in 5 ml of Organic Silicone for a course of 10 treatments/1 time in 6 months.
Injection methods of using Glutathione TM Mesoaesthetic provide reliable antioxidant protection and significantly improve skin condition.
