The Science of Skin Longevity: Mitochondria, NAD+, and Your Skin Health

At Illuminate Aesthetics Co, we believe that beauty is more than skin deep — it starts at the cellular level. One of the most vital components of our cells, the mitochondria, plays a crucial role in maintaining not only our overall health but also the vibrancy and youthfulness of our skin.

The Mighty Mitochondria

Often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, mitochondria are responsible for producing the energy necessary for cellular function. This energy, generated in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), is essential for numerous biological processes, including those that keep our skin looking its best.

Mitochondria and Skin Health

Healthy, functioning mitochondria are key to maintaining optimal skin health. Here’s how they contribute:

  1. Energy Production: Mitochondria supply the energy needed for cell repair and regeneration. As we age, mitochondrial function tends to decline, leading to decreased cellular energy and slower skin repair processes. This can manifest as fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity.
  2. Oxidative Stress Reduction: Mitochondria help combat oxidative stress by neutralising free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and accelerate ageing. By reducing oxidative stress, mitochondria help protect the skin from premature ageing and environmental damage.
  3. Collagen Production: Mitochondrial function supports the synthesis of collagen, a protein that maintains the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Adequate collagen production is essential for youthful, plump skin.

Boosting Mitochondrial Health

At Illuminate Aesthetics Co, we offer a range of treatments designed to support mitochondrial health and enhance your skin’s natural glow. Here are some ways to boost your mitochondria:

  • Advanced Skincare Treatments: Our skincare treatments, such as LED light therapy and regenerative facials, are designed to stimulate mitochondrial activity and promote skin rejuvenation.
  • Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and adequate sleep can help maintain mitochondrial function. Incorporating supplements that support mitochondrial health, such as those containing NAD+ precursors, can also be beneficial.

The Power of NRgize+ Supplement

One of the most effective ways to support your mitochondrial health is through targeted supplementation. At Illuminate Aesthetics Co, we stock the powerful NRgize+ supplement, which is specifically formulated to boost mitochondrial function and energy production.

NRgize+ contains nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a vital molecule involved in energy production within the mitochondria. By increasing NAD+ levels, NRgize+ helps to:

  • Enhance Cellular Energy: Boosts the energy available to your cells, promoting faster repair and regeneration of skin tissues.
  • Combat Ageing: Supports the body’s natural anti-ageing processes by enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress.
  • Improve Overall Skin Health: Aids in maintaining a youthful complexion by supporting collagen production and skin elasticity.

Additionally, we offer a convenient subscription service for NRgize+, allowing you to subscribe and save. This ensures you never run out of this essential supplement while enjoying the benefits of consistent mitochondrial support.
