Advantages of Bionect®:

  • Stimulates cell proliferation, particularly around the cheekbone areas (3)
  • Essential for post laser, chemical peel or dermabrasion recovery (2)
  • Maximize hydration (1)

Bionect® is available by prescription only or at your physician's office, in two topical preparations:

Bionect® Cream:
This formulation is a light, water-based, cream designed to be applied directly to skin abrasions.  Its water-base formulation is suitable for application to sensitive skin and directly to open wounds.

Bionect® Gel:
The hydro-gel formulation is water-based and fragrance free. Patients with sensitive skin should consider this formulation.  Also, for a cooling effect the gel is a nice option for post laser healing and to use on burns caused by excessive sun exposure or radiation therapy.

Penetration

  • Smaller molecules proven to absorb through and below the epidermis(4)

Skin Structure

  • Enhances extracellular matrix activity; improves skin turgor and texture(3)

Regeneration

  • Actively assists in the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts(5)

Cellular Level Healing

  • Elevated levels of HA induce pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell migration of keratinocytes, and angiogenesis(1)
