Renova
Renova is used to treat acne. It works partly by keeping
skin pores clear.Renova can also be used to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots,
or rough skin on the face caused by damaging rays of the sun. It works by
lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin, and by slowing
down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the
sun. Renova works best when used within a skin care program that includes
protecting the treated skin from the sun. However, it does not completely
or permanently erase these skin problems or greatly improve more obvious
changes in the skin, such as deep wrinkles caused by sun or the natural
aging process.

Renova Information
|
HOW DOES RENOVA WORK?
RENOVA-A works by binding to specific cell receptors of skin after a
topical application. After the cellular receptors have been activated
there is a modification in gene expression, subsequent protein synthesis
and cell growth and differentiation. Thus, the epidermal cell is modified
to produce a greater amount of new mature healthy skin. In clinical studies
there is an enhanced production of collagen in areas of treated skin.
Unlike over-the-counter wrinkle creams that simply exfoliate the surface
layer of skin, RENOVA is believed to work on all layers of the skin, including
the epidermis, where pigmentary changes occur and even the deeper portions
of the skin where fine wrinkling is thought to begin. Medical research
has shown in published articles that RENOVA increases collagen. Researchers
believe this is one way that RENOVA reduces the signs of aging.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS RENOVA?
In clinical studies looking at the efficacy of RENOVA 60% of patients
treated for 24 weeks saw at least some decrease in fine facial wrinkling.
The effect on coarse facial wrinkling, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin
roughness, and laxity of the facial skin were less clear since the effect
seen on each patient varied from study to study.
A study in the Archives of Dermatology, May 1996, showed that RENOVA
cream significantly improved the appearance of early stretch marks. RENOVA
worked best on stretch marks that were new or enlarging, such as those
that develop during pregnancy.
HOW TO USE Renova:
RENOVA is for use on the face as directed, usually once a day at bedtime.
Apply a pea-size amount of cream to clean, dry skin on the face being
careful to avoid the eyes, nostrils and mouth. Wash your hands after use.
Do not use Renova more often than prescribed or in larger amounts.
It will not give you faster or better results but will increase the risk
of side effects. Do not use on sunburn or eczema or other serious skin
conditions. Effects of Renova will be gradual with most improvement
seen in the first 6 months of continued therapy. If used for acne the
condition may worsen at first, and then improve.
RENOVA TIMELINE:
1-2 months: you notice smoother skin and a softer texture to your skin
3-4 months: freckles and brown spots begin to fade. Fine lines and wrinkles
begin to diminish. A rosier glow to your skin is obtained
6 months: Benefits should be apparent with fewer wrinkles and smoother
and more even toned skin
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Let us know on your medical history/personal profile of any nonprescription
or prescription medications that you may be taking including isotretinoin,
amiodarone, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, sulfa drugs or phenothiazines
as they increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Also let us know if you
are using minoxidil and any skin medication, soaps, cleansers, cosmetics,
astringents or any facial products that may be drying or irritating to
the skin (e.g., alcohol-containing facial products). Benzoyl peroxide
should not be applied at the same time as Renova.
SIDE EFFECTS:
You may experience mild redness or stinging, itching, burning, skin scaling,
peeling and dry skin the first several weeks as your body adjusts to RENOVA.
If any of these effects continue or become severe, discontinue use.
WARNINGS:
Before taking Renova let us know on your medical history/personal
profile if you have any pre-existing skin disorders or if you have any
allergies. Renova increases your sensitivity to the sun. Limit
sun exposure and avoid sun lamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective
clothing when outdoors. Renova should be used only when clearly
needed during pregnancy. It is unknown if Renova is excreted into breast
milk. Consult with your doctor before breast-feeding.
