Extended technical information

Institute BCN technical documentation explains that artichoke has traditionally been used as a natural diuretic remedy. In the professional cosmetic context, Artichoke Extract is presented as an efficient solution for mobilising fat deposits, detoxifying and supporting the drainage of retained fluids in body treatments.

The manufacturer highlights the presence of cynarin, to which it attributes properties against oxidative stress induced by inflammatory mediators, as well as a degree of control over lipolysis and a supportive role in the synthesis of energy-transporting enzymes. A diuretic and vasoconstrictive action is also described, useful for stimulating lymphatic drainage within professional anti-cellulite protocols.

The technical documentation also states that this artichoke solution mobilises fat deposits from tissues such as white adipose tissue. From the manufacturer’s cosmetic approach, these fats pass into the blood for subsequent elimination by the body, positioning the product as an active of interest in body routines aimed at localised fat and visible cellulite.

Cosmetic action of artichoke extract

Draining and diuretic action

Artichoke is described as an ingredient capable of supporting the cosmetic drainage of retained fluids. This action is particularly interesting in protocols designed to improve the appearance of cellulite, where visible oedema and tissue congestion can contribute to irregular skin texture.

Detoxifying action

The manufacturer attributes a detoxifying action to Artichoke Extract, reinforcing its use in professional body treatments. This function complements cosmetic work on tissue with an orange-peel appearance and on areas with visible localised fat.

Support for cosmetic lipolysis

The technical documentation links cynarin with a degree of control over lipolysis and with the synthesis of energy-transporting enzymes. In the salon treatment room, this positions Artichoke Extract as a supportive active in aesthetic protocols aimed at the visible remodelling of the body contour.

Support for microcirculation and lymphatic drainage

The product is presented as a stimulator of the lymphatic drainage system and as an active of interest for the visible circulation of the treated area, complementing its use in anti-cellulite cosmetic programmes.
