Volumizing is now available for skin care, following the recent launch of a skin care ingredient with a proprierary delivery system from Lucas Meyer that is being billed as an alternative to dermal fillers.

Called Adipofill, it is a bio-controlled lipo-filling-like alternative injectible face fillers. Moreover, it aims to improve structural aging due to lipoatrophy or loss of adipose tissue.

 

Combining a new generation of delivery system

 

Adipofill, which combines water, propanediol, ornithine, phospholipids and glycolipids, is a true multi-functional ingredient as it is combined with the company's Ionosome delivery system, which has been designed as a new generation of resistant delivery systems. 

 

The patented Adipofill is combined with L-ornithine, an amino acid obtained by biotechnology from vegetable starch and then encapsulated in an Ionosome.

 

The Ionosome delivery system is a polysaccharide-coated encapsulation, hydrophobized polysaccharides inserted in the protective coating other wise known as the phospholipid membrane.

 Protection combined with good penetration

The goal of this delivery system is at first to protect L-ornithine, which is only one amino acid, while combining to get a good penetration because the Adipocyte are more at the lower base of the epidermis.

 

This precise delivery system targets adipocytes and creates a lipo-filling action to reverse age related lipoatrophy and plump up the skin. This plumping is similar to young skin that has full firm fat compartments and gives a youthful glow, compared to aged skin which has deflated fat compartments with a dull appearance.

 

Proprietary lipohormesis​  

Lipohormesis means stimulation of adipose tissue that is not patented, the active is patented not the Lipohormesis - it is a patented mechanism to create expansion in adipose tissue.

By activation or up regulation of the transcription factor HIF-1α and its related genes, Adipofill activates adipogenesis to create the transformation of pre-adipocytes into adipocytes. Adipofill reproduces lipohormesis phenomenon and mimics the lipo-filling result by increasing fatty tissue volume with a global action.

The triglyceride storage increase inflates adipocytes leading to a bigger volume and diameter,  plumping up the skin and leading to what the ingredient player claims will be a more youthful appearance.
