NIA 24™ - Niacin-Powered Skin Therapy
Sam M Sukkar, MD is pleased to offer his patients a new way to prevent and even correct sun damaged skin. NIA 24™ products contain a new cutting edge patented Niacin molecule called Pro-Niacin™. This molecule penetrates the lower layers of the skin to stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes to fix DNA damage and helping the skin to heal itself.
PRO-NIACIN – A BREAKTHROUGH FOR YOUR SKIN
25 years of research has gone into the development of Pro-Niacin. Contained in a patented continuous delivery system, Pro-Niacin enables the power of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) to be delivered deep into the layers of the skin, rebuilding and reconditioning it from the inside out. Since the molecule is fat soluble, it is able to penetrate into the skin and while on its way, is converted by enzymes to an active form of Niacin which:
- Helps stimulate DNA repair by encouraging the skin’s natural repair process.
- Energizes the skin to promote healthy skin function
- Stimulates the release of a hormone called Leptin – known to activate the skin’s natural wound-healing response, resulting in a strengthened epidermal skin layer and overall increased integrity of the skin.
- Strengthens the skin’s barrier, which over time becomes thinner and weaker thereby altering the skin’s ability to protect itself from environmental assault. When the barrier is damaged, skin also loses its ability to retain moisture.
CLINICAL STUDIES CONFIRM EFFICACY OF PRO-NIACIN
When the skin’s Niacin content is increased, the skin barrier is strengthened, moisture retention is improved, cell turnover is increased and photo-protection is enhanced. Pro-Niacin is so effective that it has been chosen by the National Cancer Institute for development as a potential skin cancer prevention agent.
In clinical studies, patients have seen dramatic results with daily use of the NIA 24 skin care line:
- 90% reduction in hyperpigmentation
- 82% improvement in texture
- 81% improvement in tone
- 80% increase in skin smoothness
- 68% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- 53% improvement in skin firmness
The New NIA 24™ skin care line is especially useful for women and men undergoing chemical peels, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, and the use of tretinoins. It is a major primary preventive treatment against sun damage and offers 3 different formulations including:
- Physical Cleansing Scrub - an all-in-one cleansing scrub that removes dead skin cells helping to wash away skin’s visible imperfections.
- Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 - a dual action sun damage prevention and all mineral sunscreen in a weightless, oil-free lotion that absorbs instantly for complete UV protection.
- Skin Strengthening Complex - a fortified cream that visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing the skin’s barrier function, accelerating repair and delivering continual moisturization.
