What are Growth Factors?

Growth Factors are produced by the body to control growth, division, and maturation of cells. They are used in skincare products to provide essential proteins that can protect skin and stimulate new growth. The Dyad Skin and Wellness Growth Factor of choice is StemFactor MD by Osmosis.

What makes StemFactor MD unique?

StemFactor MD benefits from a perfected manufacturing process that involves the creation of exosomes. These exosomes form protective envelopes around each growth factor, allowing them to have a longer life, better penetration, and more activation at the receptor site.

This process results in a serum that contains the highest available number of Growth Factors derived from a unique combination of fibroblasts, stem cells and exosomes with a more evolved, complete and complex formulation for superior outcomes.

Repair Proteins in StemFactor MD

StemFactor MD contains over 600 proteins and peptides that are involved in various cellular functions to promote skin cell growth, reconstruction and repair along with the rejuvenation of aging and damaged cells. Growth Factors and proteins present in StemFactor MD are most prominently represented in the Protein Pathway which is the method by which aging and wounded skin can be restructured, repaired and regenerated.

Leveling Up Your Growth Factor

Most products rely heavily on Growth Factors from the Skin Cell Growth Promoting group, namely EGF, or Epidermal Growth Factor. Unfortunately, this significantly limits the scope of benefits when compared to products that include Growth Factors from all five categories. Other products also lack the critical component of exosomes which means their Growth Factors have shorter lifespans, inferior penetration and less activation. Maximizing your skincare regimen will require two dimensional EGF focused serums to be replaced with multi-dimensional Growth Factors with better technology and more complexity.

The Importance of Value

As skincare professionals, one of the most concerning and frustrating things we see is the high price tags on inferior skin products. Three popular Growth Factor competitors are listed below with current pricing. These products do not use exosomes, do not use phosphatidylcholine coatings to improve penetration by 600% and do not contain over 600 different Growth Factors.

The Competition:

*SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum, $295*
*Neocutis Bio Serum Firm, $290*
*Dr. Diamond’s Metacine Instafacial Plasma, $200*

Winner of the 2024 Aestheticians’ Choice Award for Best Stem Cell Serum and price point of $146 makes StemFactor MD an amazing value.

If you are over age 40 and still using EGF heavy growth factor serums, you are reducing your own potential for achieving healthier, more youthful skin. It is past time to demand more from your skincare and graduate into a home care regimen that offers better quality and efficacy. StemFactor MD is an integral step in Dyad’s Core 4 Skin System which we recommend to all clients for optimal results.

Final Thoughts

StemFactor MD contains 600+ Growth Factors and proteins protected in bio-identical active exosomes, that are physiologically balanced and bio-available. This means your own skin gets to decide what to use them for, how to transport them and when to communicate with each cell for improved performance and optimal skin rejuvenation.

Finding a product with the highest quality ingredients and clinically proven results, that also costs less and lasts longer than the competition is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
