The LLS system

A special feature of HYPOGEN CARE® products is the LLS system, which uses biomimetic lamellar technology. This technology enables the HYPOGEN CARE® build up and actively regenerate the natural protective layer of the skin and hair.

Lamellar technology: The mode of action of the LLS system in HYPOGEN SKIN CARE

The LLS system and its mode of action in HYPOGEN SKIN CARE

Protection:

Sensitized and especially allergized skin is in an unstable state and is more susceptible than average to environmental influences.

Skin care using the LLS system is based on a special lamellar base: the skin's cell membrane complex is stabilized by the lamellar base being incorporated into the cell membrane complex as an additional, skin-identical component. This reinforcement gives the horny layer(stratum corneum) of the skin a very high resistance. The LLS system thus creates a highly efficient and completely non-irritating barrier.

Structure:

HYPOGEN's LLS Lamellar Technology biomimetically replicates the skin's lipid layer - in other words, it mimics nature. If the horny layer of irritated skin has a lipid layer that is below average, the LLS system replenishes it to an optimal state. In the case of everyday skin irritations, the lipid layer of the stratum corneum is almost completely rebuilt just a few minutes after application.

Active regeneration:

Sensitized and especially allergized skin is much more susceptible to irritation and damage as the stratum corneum is damaged. Chemical and physical damage to the lipid layer occurs more quickly because the lipid layer is not sufficiently dense and therefore no longer fully protects the lipid layer against erosion. The active regeneration of the lipid layer therefore plays an important role in the ideal development and constitution of the skin. It stabilizes the generally unstable stratum corneum of the skin.

The LLS system closes gaps in the lipid layer of irritated or damaged skin. In the process, the lipid layer optimally aligns itself lamellar. With regular use, an ideal condition of the lipid layer is maintained almost constantly, so that the hair can develop undisturbed by multiple environmental influences.

The above illustrations of the LLS system with regard to the skin can therefore be transferred to the hair.

The mode of action of the LLS system in HYPOGEN HAIR CARE

The cell membrane complex of the hair is at the heart of all hair cosmetics:

  • To prevent damage, the cell membrane complex of the hair must be strengthened (stabilization).
  • In the event of damage, the aim is to rebuild the hair as quickly as possible via its cell membrane complex (regeneration).
  • Through the LLS system, HYPOGEN HAIR CARE regenerates and stabilizes the cell membrane complex of the hair.

Potentiated effect HYPOGEN HAIR CARE

More information about the LLS system will be available in the Research and Technology from HYPOGEN CARE® described. The skin and hair obtain a particularly high resistance when a the protective, restorative and passively as well as actively regenerating effects of the LLS system and the sublevactum formula are combined. This happens in different HYPOGEN CARE® products.

The mode of action of the LLS system in HYPOGEN BEARD CARE

As with skin and hair in general, the cell membrane complex of the facial skin and beard hair is at the center of any consideration of cosmetic beard care.

As described above, the LLS system in HYPOGEN BEARD CARE works via the cell membrane complex of the skin and hair - but in a beard-specific way.

The mode of action of the LLS system in HYPOGEN SUN CARE

The explanations regarding the effect of the LLS system in HYPOGEN SKIN CARE are basically transferable to HYPOGEN SUN CARE.

The focus of the effect here is from the perspective of the moisture balance. Thanks to LLS technology, HYPOGEN SUN CARE products build up the skin's natural protective layer and actively regenerate it. In particular, the storage of molecularly bound water is supported, which is known as the skin's moisture balance. Translated, this means that the skin's moisture balance is optimized. LLS technology thus systematically and sustainably protects the skin from drying out, even with intensive sun exposure.
