| The basic substance is a protein-free, all natural solution consisting of low molecule weight organis and inorganic compounds. It was origionaly developed as a result of a search for humoral factors affecting growth and repair. Research demonstrated that it accelerates tissue repair, and it has been widely used since.
The biologically active portion has been analyzed, and found to contain a mixture of glycolipids (specifically hexosphingolipids). in addition, nucleosides, nucleotides, amino acids, oligopeptides, essential trace elements, electrolytes, and intermediate products of carbohydrate and fat metabolism have been identified. The combination of these elements has been shown clinically and experimentally to:
• Increase cellular oxygen uptake
• Stimulate ATP synthesis
• Improve glucose transport
• Stimulate collagen formation and angiogenesis
• Stimulate growth factor activity
• Increase cytoprotective effects
Amino-Plex® is the basis of the Amino-Oxy Mist system that has been widely used for the past five years to enhance the recovery and shorten the healing time following CO2 laser resurfacing.
This improvement was clinically studied in a controlled manner, treating one side of volunteers' faces with a standard post-laser protocall (vaseline. mask) Ffollowing a significant CO2 laser resurfacing, and then comparing the healing with a subsequint laser resurfacing on the opposite side of the face treated with the Amino-Oxy Mist protocol (daily applications for five days plus a healing balm and frequent washing). All the patients treated with the Amino-Oxy Mist were healed within 7 days, Compared to 10-14 days on the standard side. The subsequent erythema was less intense on the Amino-Oxy Mist side, and resolved more rapidly. Based on this controlled clinical study, the Amino-Plex ® has been used successfully to enhance healing following microdermabrasion with glycolic peels and hair transplants, As well as in sutured wounds following facelifts, flaps, abdominoplasties, and breast surgeries.
Since wound healing has the same basic components whether in an open wound or closed (sutured) wound, it is reasonable to expect that Amino-Plex® would enhance and improve healing of all wounds, of whatever origin, and it has even shown a dramatic effect in very difficult wounds, such as post-radiation tissue necrosis, and pressure sores (decubitus ulcers).
Available as a spray or solution, it can easily be used at home, or delivered with an oxygen spray by an aesthetician or medical professionals following laser treatments, peels, dermabrasions, or any surgical procedure. Since it is biologically standardized, protein-free, non-antigenic and non-pyrogenic, reactions and side effects have not been seen.
Enhanced healing means less inflammation, and potentially less scarring, less erythema, less pain, and a better ultimate result, which has been clinically demonstrated. |
