The Power of Growth Factors: The Future of Regenerative Skincare
In skincare, innovation never stands still, and one of the most exciting breakthroughs in recent years is the use of growth factors. Once reserved for medical science, they’re now transforming professional skincare, helping to restore youthful radiance from within.
At Novum Skin & Wellness in Kingsley, near Frodsham, we use Medik8’s clinically proven growth factor technology to rejuvenate, repair, and strengthen skin.
Whether you’re visiting us from Helsby, Tarvin, Delamere or wider Cheshire, this educational guide will help you understand how growth factors can improve your skin health and enhance your results from in-clinic treatments.
What Are Growth Factors?
Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that tell your skin cells how to behave. They play a vital role in repair, collagen production, and overall resilience.
When applied through advanced skincare, these proteins stimulate fibroblast activity, encouraging the skin to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, the three essentials for plump, youthful, and healthy skin.
As we age, our natural supply of growth factors decreases. This slowdown is one of the reasons we begin to see lines, laxity, and dullness. Growth factor skincare supports your skin in repairing and regenerating like it did when it was younger.
Why Growth Factors Are Revolutionising Modern Skincare
For many years, retinol and vitamin C were seen as the gold standards of anti-ageing skincare. Today, growth factors complement and even enhance their benefits.
They work deeper within the skin, improving structure rather than just surface texture. When combined with in-salon treatments such as our Rejuvapen NXT (Micro-needling), Medik8 Skin Peels, or CACI Synergy, they can accelerate recovery and maximise results.
At Novum, we tailor Medik8 formulations to your skin’s needs, creating a powerful partnership between science and professional expertise.
The Science in Simple Terms
Signal & Stimulate – Growth factors send messages to your skin cells, prompting repair and renewal.
Activate Renewal – Fibroblasts are activated to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Rebuild & Restore – The skin’s structure becomes stronger, smoother, and more elastic.
The outcome is skin that looks fresher, firmer, and more luminous, the true hallmark of healthy ageing.
Are Growth Factors Safe for Skin?
Yes, they’re modelled on natural proteins already found in the body, which means they’re suitable for most skin types. Medik8’s Dual MiniProteins™ are created using biotechnology for purity, stability, and skin affinity.
At Novum, we always perform a full consultation and patch test before recommending any new product or treatment to ensure complete confidence and comfort for your skin.
The Visible Benefits of Growth Factors
When integrated into your skincare routine or used during professional treatments, you’ll notice:
Smoother, firmer skin – increased collagen and elastin support.
Faster healing – especially after microneedling, peels, or laser treatments.
Improved texture and tone – reduction in uneven patches and pigmentation.
Stronger skin barrier – better protection from sensitivity and inflammation.
Enhanced treatment outcomes – results that are both visible and long-lasting.
How to Use Growth Factors
Growth factors are most effective in serum or cream form, applied after cleansing and before moisturiser.
We often recommend Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Advanced MP or Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream, both designed to improve skin structure and hydration while reducing fine lines.
They layer beautifully with:
Vitamin C (for antioxidant protection)
Retinol (Vitamin A) (for cell renewal)
Hyaluronic acid (for deep hydration and plumping)
Our therapists can advise how to combine these safely for your skin type.
