In world awash in ‘beauty’ products and ‘skincare’ brands, we are proud to be collaborating with a longevity technology company like OneSkin who are breaking the mould and targeting skin aging at its source. At that level, it should actually reverse ageing and make a cell immortal. We had a molecule that was already tested to activate telomerase and human skin cells. We are growing human skin in the lab with tissue engineering techniques that myself and my co founders brought from academia. One of the chief claims of the OneSkin team is that OS-01 is turning on the body’s repair mechanisms for exactly this type of damage.

This is one of the things I LOVE about NextHealth. They, like me, are obsessed with optimising human performance. In the 30 minutes following my scan, Matthew diligently and patiently answered my many questions about how I can work to improve the apparent youthfulness of my skin. The hardest one, I would say, is trying to manage stress. Running a company is sometimes very challenging. It actually triggered the Nobel Prize in 2009 to be given to the people who discovered telomeres, although they discovered them in the early 1980s. So it wasn't until Dr. Andrews discovered telomerase, that it showed the importance of what a telomere was.So, while more science is needed to have ‘all the answers’, this is common in the longevity technology sphere. As we look out for our long-term health, we get to choose how far ahead of the ‘proven’ science we individually are comfortable to reach. It’s natural to wonder, what happens after longer term use of OneSkin? Or was the testing a fluke? Could another factor have been in play?

We assessed all the parameters after 6 weeks and 12 weeks. One of the most interesting results that we got from this study was an improvement in the skin barrier, which happened only on the side of the face that was treated with the OS-01 peptide.

Pleased With Everything

Dr. Carolina Reis (CR): We continue to search for a method that can be quantitative and we still don't have it, unfortunately, to offer to consumers.
