Skin damaging dermatological procedures are mainstream and accepted as a common practice for long-term skin care. Consider laser treatments, RF therapy, micro-needling, collagen pens, dermabrasions, and acid peels. They all deliver some level of injury to your skin with the result of recruiting your immune system response to heal the ensuing damage. In addition, most skin care brands generously infuse their products with retinoids and other acids that result in a ‘daily burn’ to your complexion. Simply put, today’s anti-aging skincare strategies were created to harm the skin in order to initiate repair. They are only differentiated by the amount and severity of the injury incurred. 

Skin has an enormous capacity to repair, but that capacity is not unlimited. Chronic inflammation accelerates the decline in the skin’s ability to regenerate, leading to skin cell senescence (the loss of its power of division and growth). 

Sapelo Skin Care provides a scientific system that combines natural ingredients which work together by mimicking the skin’s immune system response to injury but WITHOUT the injury.
