ELURE ADVANCED SKIN LIGHTENING
Hydroquinone has long been classed as the gold standard in skin lightening, but patients can suffer from side effects. The Elure Advanced Skin Lightening product line from Syneron Candela is an enzymatic skin lightening treatment that doesn’t use hydroquinone. Instead, the range utilises melanozyme, a natural bio-active substance.
Melanozyme’s active ingredient is lignin peroxidase, an enzyme derived from a tree fungus—the enzyme breaks down lignin in decaying trees, causing decolourisation. According to Syneron Candela, the molecular structure of lignin is similar to melanin and research shows that lignin peroxidase has the potential to break down or depolymerise melanin.
Melanozyme disintegrates melanin in the skin to diminish dark coloured pigment.
The Elure range does not contain hydroquinone and. Other skin lightening products inhibit melanin formation, but Elure targets existing melanin resulting in a faster lightening effect, says Syneron Candela.
In studies, 91% of patients graded their satisfaction between good to excellent after eight days using Elure, and 9% as fair. At the end of the study, 93% graded their satisfaction between good to excellent, and 7% as fair.
