SKIN NOVA TECHNOLOGY - Revolutionizes the World of Cosmetics

Volketswil (ots)

JUVENA of Switzerland is the first cosmetics
company world-wide to integrate technology from the field of
emergency medicine into skin care products. The basis for this
technology is the research work of Professor Odile Damour*, head of
the Laboratoire des Substituts Cutanés in Lyon (FR) and authority in
the field of biological skin reconstruction. Her techniques are used
primarily on patients with severe burns, for whom, as a result of the
lack of healthy skin, a complete skin graft is not possible.
After three years of joint research, JUVENA of Switzerland has
succeeded in integrating Professor Damour's original technology into
a cosmetic formula. The result of this unique cooperation between
cosmetics and emergency medicine is the soon-to-be patented SKIN NOVA
TECHNOLOGY for the permanent support of the skin's own renewal
process. This technology is the basis of the new skincare line
JUVEDICAL comprised of one serum, one day and one night cream
(available as of beginning of April 2004).
