“The future is not just about scientific innovation but also discovering new applications for that science. Just as regenerative biomaterial was a revelation in wound healing medicine before being deployed in skincare, and with outstanding results.” Dr Asculai, Chief Scientist Visible Youth.
Hyoglass™; Regenerative medicine applied to anti-aging skincare.
Scientific horizons are as boundless as the human desire to explore and innovate. Think of NASA’s tech transfer programme which gave us diminutive sized phone cameras and baby formula. Beyond the original scientific discoveries, the diversity of future applications can be all the more extraordinary, and there are two really fascinating stories behind Visible Youth Skincare. Hyoglass™; Regenerative medicine applied to anti-aging skincare.
The first discovery
Intrinsic to the healing power of Visible Youth is a revolutionary biomaterial, a new paradigm in wound healing with the power to reverse the irreversible. It was discovered in 1969 when a young professor called Larry Hench pursued regenerative medicine. He was inspired by returning wounded Vietnam soldiers and his determination to heal. He created Bioglass, a biomaterial, that is 100 % compatible with the human body. It bonds, activates, promotes healing, then dissolves leaving the tissue restored.

The second discovery
Twenty years later, Dr Asculai was researching Hyaluronic Acid (HA) delivery vehicle systems to cure pre-cancerous skin lesions. He noticed his patients’ skin had undergone a transformation; the lesions were eliminated. Also, astonishingly at the same time their skin appeared smoother, radiant, more youthful. Ultimately Dr. Asculai combined Hench’s biomaterial, with his own unique patented molecule delivery system to create Hyoglass™, Regenerative medicine applied to anti-aging skincare .This breakthrough Hyoglass™, Hyaluronic Acid Delivery Vehicle is a perfectly weighted molecule of medical grade Hyaluronic Acid that will reach precisely where lines are formed.
Hyoglass™; Regenerative medicine applied to anti-aging skincare
Visible Youth’s revolutionary biomaterial, called bioglass or bioactive glass, is made up solely of elements that are naturally found in the body – silicon, calcium, sodium, phosphorous and oxygen, and is 100% compatible with all skin types. The Skin Tech Lab is the first to use in cosmetics by combining bioglass with optimal weight hyaluronic acid for precision delivery to where wrinkles are formed. That skincare technology is called Hyoglass™; Regenerative medicine applied to anti-aging skincare;
• Reduces visibility of wrinkles
• Reduces redness on the skin
• Protects from UV pollution or free radicals with anti-oxidants
• Enriches micronutrients, mainly calcium and silica, the building blocks of life, found in collagen.
BIOGLASS: THE TECHNICAL STUFF
Bioglass is a type of bioactive ceramic made primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), along with other oxides such as calcium oxide (CaO), sodium oxide (Na₂O), and phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅). It is known for its ability to promote Collagen Synthesis regeneration and healing. Here’s how;
Stimulation of Fibroblasts:
CELL PROLIFERATION: Bioglass can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen in the skin. This increased activity enhances collagen synthesis.
GROWTH FACTORS: Bioglass can promote the release of growth factors that further encourage fibroblast activity and collagen production.
Ion Release and Bioactivity:
CALCIUM AND SILICON IONS: When bioglass comes into contact with body fluids, it releases calcium and silicon ions. These ions are crucial for cellular functions, including the synthesis of collagen.
SURFACE REACTIONS: Bioglass forms a hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) layer on its surface when exposed to physiological conditions. This layer helps promote cellular attachment and activity, including collagen production.
Wound healing and tissue regeneration:
ENHANCED HEALING: Bioglass has been shown to accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of new tissue, including collagen-rich extracellular matrix.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES: The material can reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for the healing process and collagen preservation.
ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES: By reducing bacterial load at the site of application, bioactive glass can prevent infections that might otherwise impair the skin’s healing processes, indirectly supporting collagen production and skin repair.
