Main active ingredient

• DMAE Dimethylaminoethanol or norcholine, an acetylcholine precursor of cosmetic interest for firming, tightening and antioxidant action.

Extended technical information

Institute BCN technical documentation describes DMAE or norcholine as a precursor of acetylcholine, a neuromediator that plays an important role in the skin. The manufacturer explains that it began to be used for its ability to produce a visible lifting effect on the skin, commonly associated with the concept of cosmetic lifting.

According to the technical documentation, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, sweat cells and endothelial cells contain membrane receptors that respond to acetylcholine. In this context, the firming effect of DMAE is associated with a cholinergic stimulus of the membrane receptors of fibroblasts, which promotes the progressive concentration of myofilaments in their cytosol and contributes to greater visible tissue tension.

The manufacturer also attributes anti-free radical and anti-fuscin effects to DMAE, as it helps repair the protein cross-linking of collagen and elastin in the treated area. As a result, it is presented as a fast-acting active ingredient with a prolonged effect within professional cosmetic protocols for lax, dull skin or skin with visible loss of firmness.

Cosmetic action of DMAE

Firming effect

The technical documentation presents it as an active ingredient with immediate firming action on lax and sagging skin. This action integrates particularly well into professional anti-ageing and facial or body firming protocols.

Tightening effect or cosmetic lifting

Institute BCN highlights that DMAE provides an instant facial or body lifting effect. This profile makes it an active ingredient of interest when a rapid visible improvement in skin tone and overall skin appearance is desired.

Structural protection

The manufacturer links DMAE to the protection of elastin and collagen cross-linking, reinforcing its use in routines where preserving the visible firmness and elasticity of skin tissue is important.

Antioxidant action and skin defence

The technical documentation also attributes antioxidant effects to it, helping support the skin’s defence against free radicals, as well as improving the visible nourishment of the tissue and skin evenness.

Improvement of hydration and elasticity

Among the effects described by the manufacturer are improved hydration and elasticity of the stratum corneum, helping the skin feel more comfortable and look more even.

Professional treatment room use profile

DMAE is aimed at professionals looking for a firming and tightening active ingredient for facial and body protocols. It is especially useful in treatments for lax, mature skin or skin with visible loss of tone, as well as in combinations aimed at a cosmetic lifting effect, firmness and improved elasticity.
