SkinMedica introduces new skin produce with natural human growth factors to diminish visible signs of aging

Transplant News, Feb 27, 2002

SkinMedica, inc., Carlsbad, CA, announced that TNS Recovery Complex with NouriCel-MD is now widely available to physicians seeking a non-invasive product for patients who want to improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin. The company says TNS Recovery Complex is the only product containing a professional concentration of NouriCel, a new cosmetic ingredient from Advanced Tissue Sciences, La Jolla, CA. NouriCel-MD is the first ingredient derived from the manufacture of bioengineered human skin which contains an array of natural human growth factors and other compounds produced by healthy new skin, the company says.

NourCel is derived from Advanced Tissue Sciences' patented process for growing bioengineered human tissue for treating serious burns and wounds. SkinMedica says that as the tissue grows it produces natural growth factors and other elements important to healthy skin. After the tissue is collected, a solution enriched with the compounds remains--the NouriCel ingredient. A concentrated, professional-strength formulation called NouriCel-MD is also available.
