Elevate™ is a cream created specifically for the tissues and structures of the neck and décolleté. It contains revitalizing bioadaptable™ ingredients that create a tightening thermogenic effect when applied to the skin. Thermogenesis describes metabolic processes in the upper epidermis and lower subcutaneous tissue that produce heat. Elevate™ works by dilating microcapillaries and activating glycolipids and phospholipids to tone underlying muscles and contour the skin. It also increases collagen production, improves firmness and elasticity, stimulates muscle tightening, provides essential skin nutrients, increases skin density, increases microcirculation, and promotes hydration balance in tissue.
SUITED FOR
Elevate™ can lift skin in the neck and décolleté area. Other effects include increased collagen production, increased skin density, and balanced hydration levels.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
This is a standardized method for using this product. For best results, consult your DMK Certified Esthetician to ensure proper use and a regimen tailored to your skin revision needs.
- Cleanse the skin with Enbioment™ Cleanser.
- Lightly mist the face, neck, and décolleté with Wetter Than Water™.
- Dispense 1 pump of FirMatrix® onto your fingers and apply evenly on the face, neck, and décolleté. Use gentle tapotement to help the skin fully absorb the serum.
- Apply Eye Web™ cream around the orbital area and especially beneath the eyes. Use gentle tapotement to help the skin fully absorb the cream.
- Lightly massage a thin layer of Transgenesis® onto the face, neck, and décolleté. Use gentle tapotement to help the skin fully absorb the cream.
- Scoop a small amount of Elevate™ and apply evenly to the neck and décolleté only. Use gentle tapotement to help the skin fully absorb the cream.
FORMULA HIGHLIGHTS
Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel — A nourishing, lightweight oil that readily absorbs into the skin. Oat oil helps repair the skin barrier by increasing ceramide levels, reducing inflammation, and providing an occlusive humectant layer that prevents TEWL. This antioxidant is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids.
Copper Lysinate/Prolinate — An essential amino acid and mineral combo that works synergistically with formula ingredients to increase collagen I and II and elastin. It increases volume, plumps the skin, strengthens, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate — A newer retinoid that provides increased retinoic activity without the potential irritations of traditional vitamin A ingredients. It binds directly to the cell receptors to initiate proliferation and differentiation, without needing to be metabolically broken down or converted before use.
Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil (Apricot) — Apricot oil is like sebum in composition, which helps it readily absorb into the epidermis. It is skin conditioning and contains gamma-linoleic acid, which can tone and firm the skin. This oil is deeply nourishing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, with rich concentrations of vitamins E, A, and K. Vitamin K is known to reduce dark circles and improve wound healing.
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract — A fermented ingredient derived from a deep-sea bacterium in Antarctica. It creates a polysaccharide that improves hydration and water holding capacity by stimulating HA and filaggrin. This extract reduces sensitivity and inflammation. It has also been shown to increase elastin and collagens I and IV synthesis. The ferment includes amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine, and can reduce wrinkles, smooth the skin, and reinforce dermal structures.
Tremella Mushroom Extract — This unique mushroom is 400x more moisturizing than sodium hyaluronate. It softens, increases hydration, and plumps the skin to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Snow mushroom extract also increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) production, which defends against free radicals.
Trifluoroacetyl-Tripeptide-2 (TT2) — TT2 helps the synthesis of proteoglycans in cell-matrix interactions along with synedcan1. It also prevents progerin aggregates, which disfigure the nucleolus of cells, to delay premature aging. Proteoglycans are a major component of the extracellular matrix (or filler substance) between cells. They form large complexes both to other proteoglycans, hyaluronan, and fibers such as collagen. They are also involved in binding actions with sodium, potassium, calcium, and water, and regulate the movement of molecules through the matrix. They are very important in the activities and stability of proteins and signaling molecules in normal cell activity.
