Beauty oral : Imedeen



Innovative
Since 1991, Imedeen has been a leader in skincare supplements, with a line of products that go below the surface, inside the body for more beautiful skin. Developed by the Danish healthcare company Ferrosan, the Imedeen line of skin supplements works to improve the skin’s quality, structure and appearance. The line of cutting-edge, all-natural formulations can be used in conjunction with your current skincare regimen for optimal results. The Scandinavian line of skincare supplements is distributed in 50 markets worldwide and has been used among Europeans for over a decade. Imedeen—synonymous worldwide with beautiful skin


Proven

Backed by science, Imedeen has undergone intense scrutiny, only to receive significant praise as the premiere skincare line in its category. Published in peer-reviewed journals and recognized at international dermatological and scientific conferences, Imedeen is not just another skincare line advertising unproven claims - extensive testing has shown documented results in improving the appearance of the skin.


Skincare

Your skin is assaulted each day by harmful external forces—devastating UV rays from the sun and pollution, as well as internal influences—nutritional neglect, alcohol consumption and smoking, in some cases. Topical creams can address the surface of the skin, offering only temporary results; however, if you are seeing an increase of lines, age spots and other visible signs associated with aging, what you are really witnessing are symptoms of what’s happening inside your body. The Imedeen oral supplements nourish the skin from within and defend the skin against these hostile assailants. The result: more beautiful and more resilient skin.






IMEDEEN ClassicTM - 2x 60's RM247.99

DR F HEULE – THE NETHERLANDSDr F Heule, Professor of Dermatology at the Academic Hospital in Rotterdam, performed a twelve week double-blind placebo-controlled study on the effects of IMEDEEN on 46 women, aged between 40-65, all of whom had mild to moderate signs of photo-ageing. At the end of the period, Dr Heule observed that a number of parameters, including wrinkles, skin texture and dilated capillaries had improved significantly in the women taking IMEDEEN. Objective measurements on this group also showed an increase in skin thickness. Dr Heule concluded that IMEDEEN has a beneficial effect on signs of photo-ageing after twelve weeks of use



DR MARIANNE KIEFFER – DENMARK The Danish dermatologist, Dr Marianne Kieffer, carried out a year long clinical study on the effects IMEDEEN on 144 women, aged between 35-50, all of whom had mild to moderate signs of photo-ageing. At the end of the study, a statistically significant improvement was shown in all the objective measuring tests, leading Dr Kieffer to conclude that IMEDEEN is active in the dermis where it improves basic skin structure and texture, as well as the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture. Over time, IMEDEEN can also help visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dilated capillaries and age spots, whilst improving the skin’s moisture balance.
“The concept of being able to improve the condition of the skin from within, instead of having to rely on skin creams, is both novel and logical. I like the idea that the skin cells are being nourished from the inside.”

IMEDEEN PlusTM - 60s RM175.99

CLINICAL STUDY ON IMEDEEN PLUS - STEPHENS & ASSOCIATES, DALLAS, TEXAS, USA
In order to quantify the benefits of Imedeen Plus in improving skin tone, texture and appearance, a twelve-week double-blind, placebo controlled clinical efficacy study on 74 women was conducted by renowned US clinical investigator, Dr Monya L Sigler. The results of both the objective measurements by dermatologists and the self-assessment by participants were extremely impressive. The report concluded that when two tablets were taken daily for 12 weeks, Imedeen Plus proved to be highly effective in improving the skin’s overall appearance and condition with the active tablet outperforming the placebo. The results of all scientific and clinical studies clearly show that Imedeen Plus:

- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin quality and moisture balance
- Helps protect collagen and elastin fibres against harmful UV rays
- Makes skin on face and body feel softer and more supple

“The efficacy of Imedeen Plus was tested under rigorous conditions and the results were very impressive. The Imedeen product showed statistically significant improvements over placebo for the Investigator’s clinical grading, instrumental measurements and the women’s own evaluation. These results are among the best that I have seen”.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY ON IMEDEEN PLUS - DR ODILE DAMOUR – LABORATORY FOR SKIN SUBSTITUTES, LYON, FRANCE

The technique of growing a fully developed 3-D skin equivalent in a laboratory environment was perfected by renowned French scientist, Dr Odile Damour and is widely used for testing the mode of action of various skincare ingredients and products.

In the study, Imedeen Plus active ingredients were used in the same ratio as in the original tablet to feed the skin cells of the skin equivalent. The effects of the ingredients were measured and compared to the control cultures which had been developed in parallel without supplementation.

The results were impressive. Compared to the controls, the skin equivalent supplemented with Imedeen Plus ingredients showed a substantial increase in the density of the dermis. Detailed investigation also showed an increased amount of protein fibres - the elements that give skin its strength and elasticity.

“In all the years I have been developing ‘in-vitro’ skin cultures, the dermal structure achieved after the addition of the Imedeen Plus ingredients was among the best ever observed”.
