Clean Clinical Science

Study Background

The MMSkincare™ system is designed to combine Light Emitting Diode (LED) photo therapy and topical serums for non-invasive skin rejuvenation. This clean clinical science is based on photobiomodulation, using the power of light to activate ingredients. There are three serums; Repose, Revive and Balance all of which are formulated with naturally derived, well researched active ingredients that are proven to be efficacious in promoting balanced, healthy skin. These ingredients can be broken into four categories:

  • Base Actives (Repose, Revive, and Balance)
  • Acne Actives (Balance)
  • Repair Actives (Revive)
  • Sleep Actives (Repose)

The base actives present in all three serums are known as Adaptogens, Pre-Probiotics, and Photodynamic actives that respond to light, each serving a separate purpose.  Adaptogens are designed to mediate the stress response induced in skin cells as a result of exposure to external stressors such as UV radiation, pollution and psychological stress. The Adaptogens present in our formulation are Wild Indigo and Baobab seed extract. Together these ingredients will support the body’s natural mechanisms to reduce cellular oxidation and to improve hydration of the skin.

Prebiotics are important for stimulation of beneficial flora, which limit the growth of harmful bacteria that increase inflammation. Repose, Revive and Balance all contain pre/probiotic active ingredients.

Photosome -V is the light responsive component within the serums which allows for cellular defense against UV damage. The base active responsible for wrinkle reduction is derived from seaweed, enteromorpha compressa. This essential component in the Repose and Revive serums aids in the reduction of wrinkles both in size and number.

The MMSphereTM is a powerful LED device which emits different wavelengths of light. Light emitting diodes (LED) are painless and relatively safe to use when FDA approved. The various wavelengths have varying effects- blue light is anti-microbial, red light decreases inflammation and induces collagen remodeling, and green light is soothing and calming. Each wavelength of light activates the ingredients in each serum. For instance, Photosome-V is activated by any wavelength of light on the UV-Spectrum. HomeostatineTM is activated by red and green light to promote collagen production.
 
The MMSkincareTM App is designed to assess each individual’s skin concerns through a series of ten easy questions and baseline self-photography. With Dr. Marmur’s algorithm the MMSkincareTM App develops an impression of the patient’s skin and recommends the appropriate serum or mask and the corresponding light. The MMSkincare App connects via Bluetooth technology to the MMSphere and transmits a unique light pattern to address specific skin concerns. Thereafter the patient has a personalized skincare session and may begin their holistic skincare treatment using either Repose, Revive or Balance with the MMSphere.
 
In one study when using the MMSphere alone or in combination with MMSkincare products, the data showed:
 
  • 100% of subjects report satisfaction with the product
  • 100% of subjects had an improved overall complexion
  • 90% of subjects have complete resolution of mild acne lesions after just two weeks
  • 80% of subjects report a stable or happy mood after two weeks treatment with LED.
  • Signs of pigmentation were reduced in 100% of subjects after one week, and continued to reduce through weeks two and three
  • Depth and pronunciation of wrinkles decreased in 100% of subjects
 

The Repose Serum is activated by the Red light on the MMSphere and is designed to cater to aging, stressed, and devitalized skin.

It contains ingredients such as Evening Primrose Oil, Night Blooming Cucumber, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide 5.

Repose helps to regulate circadian rhythms and counteract the effects of sleep deprived skin.  

When using MMRepose Serum twice daily (AM and PM) for a period of twelve weeks, users and dermatologist reported measurable differences:

  • 100% subject satisfaction
  • 100% reported at least a 1 grade increase in global improvement
  • 75% patients reported at least a 1 grade improvement in skin texture
  • 64% decrease in wrinkle appearance from baseline
  • 55% decrease in red areas and brown spots

Using the Canfield VISIA Imaging System skin analysis, the number of peaks and depressions on the surface of the skin (Texture) are reduced from 1445 problem areas to 740.

A 49% decrease in surface texture at 12 weeks!

Using the Canfield VISIA Imaging System skin analysis, the number of red spots are reduced from 328 to 99:

A 70% decrease in red spots in 2 weeks!

The Balance serum is activated by the Blue light on the MMSphere and is designed to combat acne and redness, and contains Niacinamide and Canadian
Willow herb. These ingredients control acne and have anti-aging properties respectively. Individuals
who have acne and or rosacea will benefit from the anti-redness properties of this product.  

When using MMBalance Serum twice daily (AM and PM) for a period of twelve weeks, users and dermatologist reported measurable differences:

  • 100% subject satisfaction
  • 100% reported at least a 1 grade increase in global improvement
  • 71% decrease in red areas and brown spots
  • 50% of subjects saw improvement in breakouts
  • 36% decrease in wrinkle appearance from baseline

My pores are visibly smaller and my face feels like a baby's bottom"

Revive is activated by the Green light on the MMSphere and is designed to target irritated, dry, and aging skin. In addition to the base active ingredients, Revive contains thermus thermophilus ferment, Naringenin, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. Collectively these ingredients are body heat activated and reduce harmful oxidants, UV damage, inflammation and redness. These qualities make Revive especially useful for post laser treatment when body heat is elevated.

When using MMRevive Serum twice daily (AM and PM) for a period of twelve weeks, users and dermatologist reported measurable differences:

  • 100 % subject satisfaction
  • 100% of subjects reported at least a 1-grade increase in global improvement
  • 69% decrease in the appearance of brown spots and red areas
  • 60% of subjects noted improvement in skin sensitivity within the first 30 days
  • 58% decrease in wrinkle appearance from baseline to Week 12

Using the Canfield VISIA Imaging System skin analysis, the number of facial wrinkles is reduced from 139 problem areas to 78:

A 44% decrease in wrinkles just one week!

A 69% decrease in appearance of brown and red spots in 4 weeks!

I get compliments at work and from strangers all the time!”
