After years of research Dr. Perricone arrived at the conclusion that cellular inflammation may be the underlying cause of wrinkles. According to Dr. Perricone, this inflammation is not the redness that is visible to the naked eye but rather microscopic irritation that takes place in your cells leading to cellular damage. He believes that this inflammation is responsible for skin-related problems like breakouts, wrinkles, and loss of firmness.
Dr. Perricone’s holistic approach to aging treats this inflammation in three ways: through diet, nutriceutical supplements, and his award-winning line of cosmeceuticals. Through his program this type of inflammation can be stopped, which slows down the skin’s aging process and even reverses existing damage. The effects of this program are not only visible externally but will enhance your life with better overall health and increased energy.
Dr. Perricone’s constant research and groundbreaking products keep him at the forefront of advancements in the field of skincare. With his introduction of the brain-beauty connection, we have the materialization of skincare’s current phenomenon: neuropeptides.
