A physician with a doctor of medicine from the University of Colorado, Dr. Ben Johnson is the CEO of Osmosis Beauty LLC, a skin care and wellness company in Evergreen, Colorado. At Osmosis Beauty, Dr. Ben Johnson promotes holistic skin treatment approaches that are anti-inflammatory and do not damage skin cells.
Many people use controlled damage techniques to give their skin a youthful appearance. Methods of controlled damage include micro-needling (piercing the skin with micro needles), chemical peeling (applying acid layers to dissolve the “glue” that binds old skin cells to the face), and laser heating with focused light beams. These methods micro-wound the skin to induce faster natural cell turnover, producing a surge of fresh collagen and elastin cells. While their immediate results are appealing, these methods cause additional damage to the skin long term.
Forcing skin turnover will temporarily result in improved skin appearance, but with time will weaken the skin’s support structure, accelerating aging processes. Furthermore, the skin can recover only about 90 percent from its wounds, so those who continuously wound it are creating a permanent level of inflammation that, over time, leads to skin deterioration.
According to Dr. Johnson, a better method is to leverage the skin’s built-in replenishing abilities. He believes that by nourishing the skin with bioavailable ingredients that are easy to absorb, the skin will get the resources it needs to safely repair itself and maintain its optimal appearance. To keep aging at bay, he promotes a revolutionary epidermal repair serum that leverages the power of a patented anti-inflammatory ingredient, Ozonized Ethyl Oleate, to speed up the skin’s healing processes.
