What is PLURYAL SILK?
PLURYAL SILK is a regenerative medicine formulation developed specifically for the eye area.First in the world to receive CE approval for use exclusively around the eyesThe product is an injectable formulation that is rapidly gaining popularity, especially in Europe.
The three features are as follows
- First in the world to receive CE approval specifically for the eye area： It is recognized for its safety and efficacy for the delicate area around the eyes.
- High purity polynucleotide (PN) formulation： Special purification technology simultaneously maximizes efficacy and minimizes allergy risk.
- Formulation design suitable for delicate areas： It is specially designed to have the right viscosity and penetration for thin and delicate skin areas such as around the eyes and mouth.
Positioning in the PLURYAL series
PLURYAL SILK is the only one in the PLURYAL series,Products specialized for the eye areaIt is.
Other products include PLURYAL DENSIFY for the entire face and PLURYAL HAIR DENSITY for hair growth, but PLURYAL SILK occupies an important place in the series as a formulation optimized for the specific area around the eyes. PLURYAL SILK occupies an important position in the series as a formulation optimized for the specific area around the eyes.
Main ingredient: polynucleotides (PN)
The main ingredient in PLURYAL SILK, polynucleotides (PN), is a highly purified DNA fragment derived from salmon. This PN has a variety of benefits.
- Increased skin hydration: PN has high water retention properties and improves the skin's ability to retain moisture; a 2019 study reported an increase in skin moisture content of about 301 TP3T after PN injection!
- antioxidant action： PN is a powerful antioxidant and prevents skin damage caused by free radicals. This can be expected to slow down the skin aging process.
- anti-inflammatory action： PN has anti-inflammatory properties and inhibits skin inflammation. This is especially effective for chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and rosacea.
- Promotes fibroblast proliferation： PN promotes fibroblast proliferation. Fibroblasts are important cells that produce collagen and elastin, and their proliferation leads to improved skin elasticity.
- DNA repair and regeneration： PN promotes DNA repair and regeneration. This helps skin cells recover from damage caused by UV rays and other factors.
- Promotion of angiogenesis： PN stimulates the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and promotes angiogenesis. This improves skin blood flow and nutrient supply.
PLURYAL SILK uses this high-purity PN to maximize its properties, enabling safe and effective care for the delicate area around the eyes.
Applicable areas of PLURYAL SILK
PLURYAL SILK can be applied mainly to the following areas
- around one's eyes
- around one's lips
- Other delicate areas (stretch marks, scars, etc.)
It is especially formulated for the eye area.
Effective for the following problems
PLURYAL SILK is especially effective for those with the following problems
- Those who are concerned about wrinkles and sagging around the eyes
- Those who are concerned about dark circles under the eyes
- Fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
- Those with skin problems due to chronic inflammation (e.g., hyperpigmentation of atopic dermatitis, redness of acne scars)
- Those who feel a decrease in skin elasticity and firmness
In fact, until PLURYAL SILK came out, problems around the eyes (dark circles, fine lines) were one of the most difficult problems to solve. It was against this background that PLURYAL SILK was developed.
Expected Benefits
PLURYAL SILK can be used to
- Improvement of wrinkles and sagging： PN's cellular regenerative effects promote collagen and elastin production, which improves wrinkles and sagging.
- Improvement of skin qualityPN's moisturizing and cellular regeneration effects improve skin texture and overall skin quality.
- Improvement of dark circles： The angiogenesis-promoting and anti-inflammatory effects improve dark circles and dark circles under the eyes.
- Reduction of redness： Anti-inflammatory action reduces chronic redness and inflammation.
- Improvement of skin elasticity and firmness： The increase in collagen and elastin improves skin firmness and elasticity.
- Long-term skin rejuvenation effect： With continuous use, the skin's regeneration cycle is activated and a long-term rejuvenation effect can be expected.
These effects may vary from person to person and skin condition to skin condition, but many patients experience visible improvement after two to three treatments.
PLURYAL SILK is unique in that it gradually enhances the skin's natural functions rather than having an immediate effect. Therefore, natural rejuvenation is possible, and skin texture can be improved without giving the impression that any treatment has been performed.
Mechanism of action of PLURYAL SILK
PLURYAL SILK works through the following mechanisms
- tissue regeneration： PN activates fibroblasts and promotes collagen and elastin production.
- angiogenesis： Promotes the secretion of VEGF and the formation of microvessels. This improves the skin's nutritional status.
- anti-inflammatory action： Inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines and reduces chronic inflammation.
- scar repair： It promotes the reconstruction of the extracellular matrix and contributes to the improvement of scars.
