Renova
Renova, a medication using Tretinoin Cream, is used to improve
the appearance of the skin by reducing fine linkes and wrinkles
by reducing roughness and imporving coloration. Renova is also
commonly used to treat acne.
How Renova Works
Renova works by binding to specific cell receptors of the skin following a
topical application. A modification in gene expression, subsequent protein
synthesis and cell growth occur after the cellular receptors have been activated.
In short, renova causes the new growth of mature healthy skin, by causing
the epidermal cell to be modified.
Renova works on all layers of the skin including the epidermis.
Medical research has shown Renova to increase collagen, it is believed
by researchers that this is one of the ways renova reduces the
signs of aging.
How to Use Renova
Renova is for use on the face as directed, usually once a day before bed. Thoroughly
clean and dry your face and apply a pea sized amount of cream using just
enough to lightly cover your entire face. Be Careful to avoid your eyes,
nostrils and mouth. Wash your hands after use. Using more often then prescribed,
or used in excessive amounts will not give you faster or better results,
but will only increase the risk of side effects. Do not use on sunburn or
eczema or other serious skin conditions. Effects of this medication will
be gradual with most improvement seen in the first 6 months of continued
therapy. When used for acne the condition may worsen first, before improvemtn
is seen.
