INTRACEUTICALS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQ'S
What is Intraceuticals?
Intraceuticals specializes in oxygen technology. Intraceuticals Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen System uses therapeutic oxygen under hyperbaric pressure to infuse a special serum of modified hyaluronic acid, essential vitamins, botanicals, antioxidants and amino peptides to the skin. Re-hydrated, plumped up skin in less than an hour.Why is Intraceuticals unique?
The combination of oxygen under pressure and modified hyaluronic acid creates a visible result you can instantly see and feel. Additionally, the application of pressurized oxygen increases the absorption of the Infusion which helps the skin retain hydration and moisture. Once hydration is balanced your skin will look and feel healthier and more vital - additionally many other common skin complaints will naturally disappear.What does Topical Hyperbaric Oxygen mean?Hyperbaric simply means the therapeutic use of oxygen delivered at above normal pressure.How much oxygen is used in an Intraceuticals Infusion?
Oxygen makes up between 18 - 21% of the atmosphere and is required to sustain life. The Intraceuticals System draws this oxygen and filters it to a concentration of 90-95% pure oxygen.Why is oxygen used topically?
Oxygen is a natural bactericide (destroys anaerobic bacteria) and helps cool and calm the skin. Intraceuticals uses oxygen under pressure to enhance the skins absorption of the Intraceuticals Infusions.How is oxygen applied to the skin?
When the tip of the Intraceuticals Oxygen Infuser is held at a 90 degree angle, 1 mm or less from the skin surface, an oxygen "pressure bubble" is formed which increases the saturation of the external skin tissue (epidermis). This pressure also assists in the rapid absorption of the Intraceuticals Infusions.What does Infusion mean?
An Intraceuticals Infusion refers to the process of applying a hydrophilic (water loving) Serum containing hyaluronic acid technology to the skin. Based on research originating in Australia, Intraceuticals identified a new, modified form of Hyaluronic Acid; this special type of Hyaluronic Acid has the same proven moisture binding benefits as traditional Hyaluronic Acid but because of its lighter weight, has the ability to target the skin where it not only deeply hydrates but also helps stimulate collagen synthesis. Additionally, it draws or carries other active and beneficial skin specific ingredients such as vitamins, antioxidants, botanicals and amino peptides to the skin.
How does oxygen work on a cellular level?
Oxygen, breathed in from the atmosphere, flows into the lungs. From there hemoglobin in blood delivers the oxygen to the capillaries, then to the muscles and lastly to the cell's mitochondria.
Which skin conditions benefit from Intraceuticals?
Intraceuticals Infusions help increase the skin's moisture levels and targets dry, dehydrated and prematurely aging skin, sensitive skin, sensitized skin, sun damage, brown spots, skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, post inflammatory pigmentation and problem prone skin conditions.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is your body's natural moisture factor and the ability to retain and hold moisture is the secret to youthful, healthy vibrant skin. As we age our bodies produce less Hyaluronic Acid which is thought to be one of the leading causes of skin aging.
Why does Intraceuticals use Hyaluronic acid?
The Intraceuticals Infusions and Treatment Support all utilize Hyaluronic Acid in different weights and forms to balance and support healthy skin function.
What is light weight Hyaluronic Acid?
Light Weight Hyaluronic Acid is the smallest and most easily absorbed form of Hyaluronic Acid. This special fast acting form or Hyaluronic Acid is the foundation of all Intraceuticals Infusion Treatments and included in all Treatment Support Products.
- It naturally binds moisture within the skin and helps balance skin moisture levels for long lasting moisturization.
- Helps Increases skin volume from within, defining and enhancing skin volume, smoothing and softening fine lines and wrinkles.
- It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and redness reducer and significantly reduces the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
- Helps cool and calm skin for sensitive or environmentally stressed skin (sun burn or wind burn).
- Actively draws other beneficial skin ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin and increases absorption of all active ingredients - even from other product lines.
What is Hyaluronic Polymer?
Hyaluronic Polymer is a combination of polymerized Hyaluronic Acid, Dextran Sulphate and Serum Albumin which provides a long lasting moisture barrier to seal in the results of the Intraceuticals Infusion. Tightens the skin surface and holds Hyaluronic Acid in place up to 90% longer and creates a translucent film which diffuses light and minimizes surface irregularities thereby diminishing the appearance of fine lines and pores and wrinkles.
What is Hyaluronic Layering?
Hyaluronic Layering uses three different types of Hyaluronic Acid; two different weights and one complex which work together to dramatically improve the way your skin attracts and holds moisture.
Is it proven safe?
Intraceuticals Infusions can be used on sensitive, sensitized, and rosacea prone skin conditions. May also be recommended as a cooling calming treatment for post sun and wind exposed skin conditions.
