FACTOR4

Factor4 is the healthy skin turn back time treatment you have been waiting for. By using your own body as your regeneration station Factor4 remains completely free of additives allowing you to look and feel like you. No toxins and no additives delivers a speedy treatment with minimal interference to your day. It has incredible healing power cytokines that intensifies the body’s physiological response and promotes the layering down of new collagen structures.

Factor4 is highly concentrated super rich autologous conditioned serum containing 4 – 40 times more growth factors and cytokines than fresh blood. It is completely you with no additives.

Factor4 is used to treat your full face, tackle fine lines and crepey skin, dark eye circles and the skin under the eyes, the front and back of the neck, the back of hands, the décolletage, stretch marks and scarring. It really is a full skin treatment revolution.

FACTOR4 is truly an autologous (obtained from the same individual) system and is not diluted with any liquids keeping it free of additives or extra enzymes that the body has to process. It is completely natural and extremely rich in growth factors and cytokines stimulating growth of new collagen structures.

How Factor4 is made

To create your very own Factor4 formulation, we take a sample of your blood and incubate it using a patented scientific technique.

After 6–9 hours of incubation, we remove the red blood cells from the plasma. The end-product is your own personalised Factor4 treatment serum, a highly-concentrated formulation of your own growth factor and cytokines. It may be used immediately or stored for future sessions.

Benefits of Factor4

Factor4 naturally stimulates your body’s own collagen, which in turn improves skin elasticity, slows ageing and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It also treats scarring and helps to minimise pores. Factor4 will help you to achieve a younger, brighter, healthier complexion while improving the tone and texture of your skin.

You can expect to see improvements after a couple of weeks from your first Factor4 treatment. Once you have had 3–4 treatments, you will experience the most beautiful results. Results may vary between individuals.

Administering Factor4

Each clinician has their own methods for administering Factor4. At Skin Revival we prefer to microneedle in the serum using our MDerma Needling Device.

Your body will naturally accept Factor4 because it contains a super-concentration of your own growth factor and cytokines.

About the MDerma™ Needling Device

The MDerma™ skin needling system uses sterile, sealed individual and disposable needle cartridges for optimal patient safety. Every cartridge has multiple needles, with proprietary technology, penetrating vertically generating small micro skin channels, while stimulating the natural production of collagen.

These channels allow penetration deep to the skin fibroblasts, addressing the cells found in the dermis and the basal layer. This increases the stimulation of growth factors, stimulating repair at a cellular level and accelerating the healthy and natural regeneration of the skin’s epidermal cells.

There are some studies that show skin needling is more effective than traditional microdermabrasion and chemical peels. The disposable needles eliminate the risk of cross-contamination and the adjustable depth allows a treatment that is adaptable to individual needs.

MDerma™ skin needling is so advanced, it is appropriate and recommended to use in sensitive and previously inaccessible areas such as the upper and lower eyes, lips and nose.

FAQs

How much blood is extracted?

Two x 10 ml vials. Your serum is portioned and frozen ready for your next appointments and used to treat your areas of concern.

How do I prepare for blood extraction?

Consume between two to four litres of water in the 24 hours prior. Reduce or avoid alcohol consumption the night before as this can dehydrate you and increase the risk of bruising. The more hydrated you are beforehand, the more serum produced.

Is Factor4 mixed with anything else?

No. It is not diluted with any other liquid and is a truly autologous system (obtained from the same individual) making it completely natural and extremely rich in growth factors and cytokines, allowing for the creation of new collagen structures.

Are there any side effects?

Skin redness can persist for up to 24–48 hours and occasionally this may last two days. You may also experience mild bruising or swelling around your eyes and lips.

What is the recommended post care?

Please ensure you drink plenty of water and do not wash your skin for twelve hours. Moisturise your skin 3–5 times a day for 3–5 days. You may experience drier skin in the following days which is completely normal. Once the redness has completely dissipated, you can resume your normal skin care regime, however we suggest you check with your practitioner, should you have any questions or concerns.

Can I return to normal activities after a Factor4 treatment?

It is strongly recommended to limit exercise and sweating to avoid the possibility of swelling and bruising for twelve hours.
