The Unique Advantage of Growth Factor-Based Therapeutic Skincare

What Are Growth Factors and Why Are They Important for Humans?
Thanks to advanced technology, it is now possible to extract growth factors from different types of human cells. When we talk about skin growth factors, these are substances produced by skin cells to maintain healthy skin. Their role is to support the healing of damaged skin, maintain skin elasticity, stimulate collagen production, and preserve the skin’s protective functions.
Cells in the human body need precise instructions to function properly. Growth factors are cellular activators that send signals to heal, regenerate, or divide. As we age, our bodies produce fewer growth factors and other cellular signaling molecules, making it harder for damaged cells to recover. This directly affects our appearance and health. A rejuvenating supplement becomes necessary to restore the skin and achieve a more youthful look. One effective way to support the skin’s natural condition, even with age, is to use products containing growth factors.
What Is the Difference Between a Growth Factor and a Growth Hormone?
Growth factors and growth hormones are often confused, so it’s important to clarify: growth factors are not hormones.
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands and affect the entire body, while growth factors are produced inside cells and act locally, at the site where they are released. There are hundreds of different growth factors in the human body, controlling around 200 types of cells. For example, PDGF is a growth factor that promotes wound healing and reduces scarring.
Are AQ Skin Solutions Products Hormone-Free?
Yes. AQ Skin Solutions cosmetics are hormone-free and are based on proteins and peptides derived from fibroblast cell lines – including cytokines and interleukins, which are also classified as growth factors.
AQ’s patented growth factor technology is FDA-approved and produced in GMP-certified labs, ensuring the purity and high quality of all AQ products.
This growth factor-based technology is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate facial skin.
Because AQ products do not contain harmful chemicals or toxins, long-term use is safe and allows the skin to remain youthful and radiant over time.
Where Do the Growth Factors in AQ Skin Solutions Come From?
The growth factors in AQ products are sourced from certified biobanks, where they are produced under strict, regulated conditions. The growth factors themselves are derived from fibroblast cell lines from healthy, young human skin, which have been carefully selected and immortalized in GMP laboratories to ensure safety and the highest quality.
Fibroblasts are the most efficient source of growth factors and play a key role in the wound healing process.
What’s the Difference Between Human, Plant, and Animal Growth Factors? Do Plant-Based Growth Factors Work on Human Skin?
Today, many creams claim to contain growth factors, but it’s essential to know what kind of growth factors are used and where they come from. Growth factors are highly specific signaling molecules.
For example, plant-derived growth factors have little to no effect on human cells. Plants produce growth factors for their own biological functions – their biology is entirely different from humans. Therefore, plant-based growth factors do not work on human skin, as human skin is not made of plant cells.
What Are AQ Skin Solutions Products Used For?
AQ Skin Solutions serums are restorative, healing, and anti-inflammatory, and are commonly used for:
-
Severe acne treatment
-

-
Facial rejuvenation
-
Scar reduction

Which Aesthetic Procedures Can AQ Serums Be Combined With?
AQ Skin Solutions serums can be combined with many popular clinical treatments. The most used product is the AQ Recovery Serum, which is often combined with laser procedures and microneedling devices like DermaPen or DermaStamp.
Recovery Serum contains the highest concentration of human growth factors of any serum in the world. Therefore, it is intended for professional use only, especially for acne treatment, rejuvenation, pigmentation correction, and post-surgical scar management.
AQ Hair Complex+ can be used alongside hair transplant procedures, CO2 laser therapy, or scalp microneedling to promote hair regrowth.
VRS (Vaginal Rejuvenation Serum) can be used with specific aesthetic gynecological procedures, or as a non-surgical solution. VRS restores vaginal tissue youthfulness, sensitivity, and hydration.
AQ Active Serum is also an ideal complement to Botox and other injectables, extending and enhancing results.
Can AQ Recovery Serum Help Diabetics with Leg Ulcers?
Yes. Recovery Serum is used in professional private clinics, and wound care is performed by nurses or licensed clinical staff. Compared to traditional wound care, AQ Recovery Serum may heal ulcers in as little as 3 weeks, whereas untreated diabetic wounds can remain open for up to six months.
GFIT™ – Growth Factor Induced Therapy
GFIT™ is the most innovative and effective method of skin rejuvenation using growth factors. This is confirmed in the 2020 published study:
“Effectiveness of growth factor-induced therapy for skin rejuvenation: A case series.”
In the study, 95% of participants noticed improved skin texture, more even skin tone, and firmer skin.
