🩺 The Medical Origin of EGF

 From Surgical Healing to Skincare

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) was first used in burn treatment and post-surgical wound care to stimulate skin-cell regeneration. It guides the formation of new tissue, minimizes scarring, and accelerates healing.

Its discovery marked a milestone in cellular biology.

Since receiving the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, EGF has become a foundational ingredient in clinical skin regeneration and medical aesthetics—central to tissue repair and advanced anti-aging.

🔬 Cellular Science

Restoring Communication and Renewal

As we age, communication between skin cells slows down.

When keratinocytes and fibroblasts transmit signals less efficiently, collagen synthesis decreases and the skin’s recovery rate drops.

EGF binds to EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors) on the skin’s surface, reactivating growth signals that promote:

• Keratinocyte proliferation, strengthening the skin barrier

• Collagen synthesis, restoring firmness and elasticity

• Healthy cell turnover, helping the skin relearn how to repair itself

⚠️ Misconceptions

Concentration ≠ Results

Products labeled with “high concentration EGF” are not necessarily more effective.

EGF is a delicate, high-activity protein that easily degrades when exposed to oxygen, light, or heat. Even the highest concentration becomes useless if the formula cannot keep the molecule stable and bioactive.

True performance relies on stability and delivery, not just quantity.

Only when EGF is protected in a controlled, stable environment can it be gradually released at the skin’s surface to achieve clinical-level repair.

🧪 The Dermatiq Science

Purity · Stability · Precision

Dermatiq uses 95% pure recombinant EGF, preserved through cryo-encapsulation to maintain molecular stability.

Our medical-grade biocellulose matrix provides the ideal delivery environment:

• exceptionally close skin adhesion

• a sealed, moist micro-environment

• controlled release of active ingredients

This ensures precise, sustained penetration of EGF deep into the cellular layer.

Because at Dermatiq, we believe:

“Repair isn’t about adding more—it’s about enabling what truly works.”
