Dr. Jim Baral Among First in Nation to Offer Growth Factor Complex

Studies: Active Ingredient Provides Advanced Collagen Regeneration Without Side Effects

New York, NY – Dr. Jim Baral, Assistant Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai Medical Center and founder of American Dermatology Center, is among the first dermatologists in the nation (one of two in New York City) to offer SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex to his patients.

TNS Recovery Complex is the next frontier in skin rejuvenation: It contains NouriCel™, developed by Advanced Tissue Sciences, a tissue engineering company that develops and manufactures human-based tissue products for tissue repair and transplantation.

NouriCel contains human growth factors derived from the nutrient solutions used to nourish three-dimensional human tissues. Early studies show that the growth factors regenerate collagen five times faster than Retin-A, without irritation or redness.

In one NouriCel study, presented by Advanced Tissue Sciences at the Society of Investigative Dermatology meeting in Washington, DC on May 12, 2001, nine out of 14 patients with moderately wrinkled skin showed visible improvement in at least one of four areas with an average decrease in wrinkle depth of approximately 27 percent after 60 days of treatment.

Dr. Baral offers this advanced science both in conjunction with CoolTouch Laser treatments and for at-home use.

Dr. Baral is affiliated with Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology and Pediatrics and is a member of several medical societies including the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery.
