What Are Epidermal Growth Factor Products... and How Do They Work?You might know of EGFs from a certain infamous facial... |
Human-Sourced EGF Hadley says that the human stem cells can come from any source. And we mean any source. In fact, this is where the "penis facial" got its nickname: Georgia Louise's Hollywood EGF facial reportedly uses EGF derived from cells from the removed foreskin of newborn Korean babies (yes, really).
SkinMedica also uses epidermal growth factors in its products. They're derived from several different human cells grown in a laboratory, including skin cells, bone marrow stem cells and fat stem cells. The growth factors can even be extracted from a person's blood, or platelet rich plasma (PRP).
King says that the SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex, $179, specifically contains proteins derived from the fibroblasts of neonatal foreskin.
