Pedicure voetverzorging

• The feet are: ✓constantly called upon ✓too often neglected.

➠ 8 out of 10 people suffer from their feet.

• The skin of the feet is: ✓Poorly moisturized ✓Irritated.

➠ On the sites of pressure: ✓itchiness ✓fissures ✓cracks.

FOOT REPAIR ENZYMATIC PEEL OFF

IN THE EPIDERMIS: SPECIFIC PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES→ Responsible for the complex process of desquamation.

When the balance is upset → the degeneration of the epidermis is activated, ⇒ the skin becomes: ✓thicker, ✓dryer, ✓irritated.

Several factors are involved ✓Endogenous: deficient enzymes ✓Exogenous: environment, repeated mechanical stress, poor hygiene.

FOOT REPAIR ENZYMATIC PEEL OFF

Recent research in the field of cell biology and biochemistry has given rise to PEDICARE, a comprehensive and specific foot treatment. Our research department selected PROZYMEX HBT LS 9142: a powerful complex of stabilized enzymes, obtained by biosynthesis.

PROZYMEX HBT LS 9142, very rich in proteases:

→ Exerts a strong keratolytic action: PEEL OFF ACTION→ Accelerates cell renewal→ Suitable for the epidermal pH.

FOOT REPAIR ENZYMATIC PEEL OFF

PROZYMEX HBT LS 9142 boosts the effect of the endogenous epidermal enzymes.

• The skin is the largest organ with three main layers:

✓ Epidermis ✓ Dermis ✓ Hypodermis.

• Thickness of the epidermis: 0.1 mm

EXCEPT on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands: → The thickness may reach 1mm or more.

EPIDERMIS

EPIDERMIS

DERMIS

HYPODERMIS

• BASAL LAYER:Continuous renewal of epidermal cells.A single row of cells able to divide themselves frequently.

→ Half of the cells begins the maturation process. → The other half stays in the basal layer and divides over and over.

• SPINOUS LAYER• GRANULAR LAYER: the cells produce keratin.  

The epidermis is composed of several layers.

• CLEAR LAYER, present only in thick skin → feet and hands: reduces thefriction forces between the granular and stratum corneum layers.

REMINDER OF THE EPIDERMIS STRUCTURE

Granular layer

Spinous layer

Basal layer

Basement Membrane

Horny layer

• HORNY LAYER: → The cells migrate from

the basal layer to the superficial layer or stratum corneum → they differentiate: corneocytes.

➣ Corneocytes: “bricks and mortar” type structure are held together by corneosomes and the intercellular cement.

• Components of the intercellular cement:

→ Proteins → Lipids.   

REMINDER OF THE EPIDERMIS STRUCTURE

• Epidermal desquamation: From the birth of a keratinocyte in the basal layer until it is exfoliated from the epidermal surface→ 4 weeks. • But the migration process can also take:→ 75 days depending on the age and skin conditions.

DESQUAMATIONTHE SKIN’S NATURAL EXFOLIATION PROCESS

• Over time, the intercellular cement becomes denser.

➠ Exfoliation becomes more difficult.➠ Cells pile up in the stratum corneum.

• EPIDERMAL DESQUAMATION:

➢ Induced by different enzymes: PROTEASES or proteolytic

enzymes produced by thestratum corneum

➢ They break the peptide bonds of the proteins. ➠ Remove corneocytes on the

surface of the epidermis by hydrolyzing the peptide bonds between them.

➠ The hydrolysis partscorneocytes from one

another.

DESQUAMATIONTHE SKIN’S NATURAL EXFOLIATION PROCESS

• IMPORTANCE OF EXFOLIATION

➠ Stimulates the cell renewal ➠ Improves the skin appearance and

texture.

• DISORDERS OF EXFOLIATION PROCESS

→ Environmental factors → Hormonal influences → Vitamin deficiency → Enzyme deficiency.

• CONSEQUENCES

➢ Degeneration of the epidermis ➠ the skin becomes:

✓ Thicker

✓ Dryer

✓ Irritated.

DESQUAMATIONTHE SKIN’S NATURAL EXFOLIATION PROCESS

• Various factors contribute to dry feet: ✓ Exposure to high temperatures ✓ Repeated baths or showers.

• Different skin disorders: ✓ Eczema ✓ Diabetes ✓ Fungal infections.

• Repeated mechanical stress: → the stratum corneum thickens ➠ CALLUSES. • SHORT-TERM EFFECT, a dehydrated skin: → Loses its flexibility → CRACKS. • LONG-TERM EFFECT, the skin CRACKS deeply: → The cracks are forming CALLUSES.

DEHYDRATION / HYPERKERATINIZATIONCRACKS AND CALLUSES

• Arteries carry the blood rich in oxygen from the heart to the tissues.

• Veins carry oxygen-depleted blood from the lower limbs to the heart.

• A system of VALVES prevents the blood from flowing back down.

• Any malfunctioning of the system causes a VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY: ✓ Heavy legs ✓ Swelling legs ✓ Discomfort ✓ Pain ✓ Edema ✓ Varicose veins.

• Heat increases the venous insufficiency.

VASCULAR SYSTEM / EDEMASWOLLEN FEET

• INFECTION CAUSED BY: ✓ Dermatophytes, which feed on keratin ✓ Yeast like candida.

• CAUSES of the contamination : ✓ Humid environment ✓ Shoes promoting perspiration.

• Foot fungal infection is characterized by: ✓ Scaling (desquamation) ✓ Itching ✓ Fissuring of the infected area.

• Nail fungal infection: Onychomycosis.

FOOT FUNGAL INFECTION

• PROZYMEX, synergistic complex of highly stabilized proteases.

PROZYMEX HBT LS 9142

→ Accelerates the natural exfoliation of the epidermal upper layers.→ Promotes cell renewal in the epidermis

• PROZYMEX ➠ Compensates for the epidermal enzyme deficiency.

✓ SUBTILISIN, bacterial protease

✓ PROTEASE derived from biotechnology

• From human epidermis: extraction of the keratin + addition of different PROZIMEX concentrations and then keratin dosage amount.

PROZYMEX HBT LS 9142IN VITRO TEST: KERATOLYTIC ACTIVITY

KERATIN DECREASED BY 60% IN 3 HOURS

• On human skin: deterioration of the keratin proteins into amino acids. • The deeper the color ➙ the more free amino acids there are ➙ the more significant the desquamation effect is.

DESQUAMATION

• PROPERTIES: ➢ HYGROSCOPIC ✓ Its binds water on the surface to the other layers of the epidermis. ✓ Maintains good hydration of the epidermis. ➠ Effective and long-lasting moisturizing effect.

➢ KERATOLYTIC ➠ Eases scaling of the epidermal corneocytes.

➢ SOOTHING: Itching sensations of the dry skins.

UREA

• Obtained from a sugar cane, beetroot or grape extract.

• The smallest of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids: excellent ability to be absorbed into the skin.

• Removes the dead cells by breaking the bonds between the lipids of the stratum corneum: intercellular cement.
