"The skin on the body represents 95% of our skin. It's unique
and different from the skin on our face and neck1. As
our body skin ages, it has specific needs and requires a targeted
approach," said Carrie Strom,
President, Global Allergan Aesthetics and Senior Vice President,
AbbVie. "Environmental factors, such as sun exposure and
pollutants, and intrinsic factors, including changes in fat
distribution and muscle tone, take a toll on the body.2
SkinMedica® Firm & Tone Lotion for Body is a
luxurious formula rooted in science that delivers transformative
results."
With more than two decades of excellence in innovation,
SkinMedica® continues to rely on research to
formulate the most advanced and innovative professional-grade
skincare products. Following the launch of the brand's Neck Correct
Cream for Neck and Décolleté in April
2021, Allergan Aesthetics continues to expand its footprint
with SkinMedica® science for every body with this
dermatologist-tested product that can be used alone or following a
body contouring procedure.
SkinMedica® Firm & Tone Lotion for Body
contains carefully curated ingredients including Green Microalgae
and Shitake Mushroom Extracts, Lemon Balm Extract, Coffea Arabica
Seed Oil, Caffeine, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Japanese Parsley,
Paradisi (Grapefruit Peel) Oil, and Ginger Root Extract.
The hydrating formula features a scientifically proven
technology that targets five pathways related to fat and laxity in
the skin and supports the extracellular matrix, firmness and
crepiness:1
- Promotes dermal extracellular matrix components
- Supports cellular clearance and recycling
- Enhances skin detoxification via lymphatic system
- Antioxidant protection
- Supports balanced lipid metabolism and localized fat
regulation
"Body skin aging begins as early as age 25. The skin on your
body becomes thinner with age, which can further accelerate the
visible signs of aging3-4," says Dr. Mona Gohara, Dermatologist and Associate
Clinical Professor, Yale School of
Medicine. "Start prioritizing your body now – the product
shows significant results such as skin appearing visibly tighter,
smoother and more toned. In addition to adding
SkinMedica® Firm & Tone lotion to my
patients' overall body care regimen as a standalone, patients can
also use the product following body contouring procedures."
In a head-to-head clinical study1 where the products
were used twice a day, investigators assessed the following
improvements at weeks 4, 8, and 12:
- On the upper arms for sagging
- On the thighs for cellulite
- On both the upper arms and thighs for skin smoothness, skin
tone evenness, crepiness, body skin firmness, and body texture
Firm & Tone Lotion showed significant visible improvements
vs. a leading professional-grade topical body for body skin
crepiness, texture, skin tone evenness, and
smoothness.1
At Week 4*:
At Week 8†:
- Body skin texture (thighs)
- Skin tone evenness (thighs)
