The inextricable connection between physical health, mental health and skin health is becoming ever more apparent, and the aesthetics industry is catching on to the significant advantage to considering all three when it comes to providing optimal patient care and treatment results. This is now extending beyond what happens in the treatment room, drawing the interest of professional skin care brands now launching medical-grade neuroscometic skin care products.
The development of neurocosmetics aligns with the current paradigm shift in how the industry approaches aesthetics to account for patients' mental health in relation to their aesthetic goals. Neurocosmetics are designed to combine skin care and neurology, a groundbreaking approach to skin care formulations centered around utilizing a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental and complex relationship between the mind, the neurological system and skin health. These neurocosmetic formulas integrate novel ingredients such as neuroactive peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 (argireline), palmitoyl tripeptide-5), calming inflammatory compounds (bisabolol, centella asiatica extract), antioxidants (vitamins C & E, niacinimide) that target neural receptors in the skin to work synergistically with the neurological system to treat skin conditions resulting from stress, support cellular renewal and support skin resilience. Neurocosmetics are taking traditional skin care formulations and ingredients to treat topical skin concerns and combining them with ingredients that support skin health from the inside out, making for a comprehensive approach to improving skin health - all within one skin care product.
