The AQ Skin Solutions brand is an award-winning range of cosmeceuticals from America which are based upon the use of growth factors. The range was pioneered by Dr Ahmed Al-Qahtani, PhD, an immunologist from UC Irvine, who has done extensive research into the medical applications for growth factors in wound healing.
Growth factors are found naturally in the human body and are crucial for activating and stimulating stem cells to produce new cells within the body. Growth factors come in a variety of forms and are responsible for different actions, including blood vessel formation, collagen and elastin production, as well as cell division and production.
By applying additional growth factors to areas where we want to trick the body into repairing tissue, scientists have discovered that they offer a potent solution to many restoration needs and are now used in many applications where growth factor induced therapies are needed to improve and heal tissue and to restore healthy function.
Products in the AQ Skin Solutions range include:
AQ Active Serum is a combination of the same growth factors found in healthy, young skin as well as antioxidants designed to stimulate collagen production and activate the skin’s natural regeneration capabilities as well as to fight the free radical damage that causes premature ageing. The GF technology motivates skin cells to repair damage that has accumulated over the years, such as sun/age spots, fine lines and wrinkles.
AQ Recovery Serum is a pharmaceutical grade product containing a high concentration of natural growth factors, proteoglycans, and
Glycosaminoglycans that is designed to enhance the skin’s natural process of regeneration and repair by promoting collagen production, promoting healthy circulation, and encouraging cellular renewal. The serum is ideal for post-operative care and post-spa procedures, as well as a wrinkle-reduction agent used in conjunction with skin resurfacing modalities like lasers and chemical peel.
AQ Advanced Hair Complex is a natural growth factor serum that targets conditions of thinning hair, hardening of the scalp, and weakening of the hair follicles. It is designed to restore the health of hair follicles by nourishing them with a complex formulation present in healthy young follicles. The formula aids to deliver nutrition to the scalp, which increases circulation around the hair shaft and encourages the restoration of damaged hair follicles.
Designed to promote longer, thicker, darker lashes and brows, AQ Lash Serum is a safe and natural serum formulated to restore the health and vitality of eyelashes and eyebrows by naturally encouraging hair matrix production. With regular daily use, AQ Lash may help to achieve fuller, longer, more youthful-looking lashes and brows with less breakage and without the undesirable side effects commonly associated with other lash enhancing products.
Specifically formulated for the delicate eye area, AQ Eye Serum promotes smoother, younger-looking skin. It is designed to stimulate the skin’s natural process of repair and rejuvenation by providing the biological elements that are present in young, healthy skin. The concentrated GF technology helps to reverse wrinkles, diminish fine lines, and fade dark spots under the eyes by promoting circulation.
AQ Vaginal Rejuvenation Serum is a breakthrough system for vaginal rejuvenation. It rejuvenates the vagina by helping to restore the body’s natural functions. The product is formulated using specific factors that aid in hydrating the interior vaginal walls and, thus allowing more sensation and youthful resilience to an important part of a woman’s body.
The AQ Skin Solutions products combine different growth factors for specific purposes including skin repair and hair growth promotion. Studies have shown that by topically applying growth factors we can reduce the signs of skin ageing and increase dermal collagen production.
Your suitability for AQ Skin Solutions products will be established during a consultation with Dr Wakil. A full medical history will be taken, along with a physical examination where required.
If you have anti-ageing concerns, for either your face, hair or vagina and simply want to improve the health of these areas, without undergoing invasive or minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments, then AQ Growth Factor products may be an ideal solution for you.
Treatment with AQ Skin Solutions products doesn’t involve any pain or discomfort. Usually an application regime is provided for you to do at home and this may also be combined with in-clinic treatments to further aid penetration of the active ingredients, such as using a Dermastamp or Dermapen, medical skin needling treatment.
Treatment with the AQ Skin Solutions usually involves a course, over several weeks combining in-clinic treatments with at home application.
There are no reported side effects when using these products. Mild tenderness may be noted immediately after the medical skin needling treatments which will quickly resolve.
