Podcast Summary: Skincare Anarchy – "Reprogramming Skin Cells for True Anti Aging with Serucell"

Release Date: December 23, 2024

Introduction

In this enlightening episode of Skincare Anarchy, host Ekta delves deep into the cutting-edge advancements in skincare with the co-founders of Serucell, Dr. Walter Netto and Dr. Brett Gerald. Focused on the science of skin health, the discussion unpacks the innovative approaches Serucell employs to combat aging at the cellular level.

Founders' Background and Serucell's Genesis

Ekta initiates the conversation by exploring the origins of Serucell. Dr. Walter Netto shares his extensive background in general surgery, wound research, and cell communication technology (CCT). "Over the last few years, about eight, nine years, I've been working on CCT, which is the programming of the body," he explains (01:00).

Dr. Brett Gerald complements this by highlighting his experience as an ER physician and biomedical researcher. Together, their shared passion for cellular interactions and wound healing research led to the birth of Serucell. "When Walter was doing some really cool stuff, trying to understand how wounds were operating, how they actually function in real time... that's how Serucell evolved," Brett adds (01:54).

Understanding Skin Aging and Cellular Communication

The core of the discussion revolves around cellular communication and its role in skin aging. Dr. Netto uses an engaging analogy comparing the body to a computer: "You have the hardware, which is your organs... but you have the software as well, which is the programming of your body. Now as we get older, this programming just starts accumulating errors," he explains (03:14).

Dr. Gerald expands on this by emphasizing that cellular aging begins in the early to mid-20s, often unnoticed until visible signs appear. "Cellular aging probably starts in the early to mid-20s when you're invulnerable. And so you don't really notice the effects of these compound issues," he states (04:57).

Micro Trauma and Wound Healing in Daily Skincare

Ekta introduces the concept of micro trauma, prompting an in-depth discussion on how everyday skin stressors like UV exposure and physical exfoliation affect skin health. Dr. Netto delves into the skin's anatomy, explaining the roles of the dermis and epidermis. "The epidermis has no blood vessels... everything from the dermis has to diffuse through this layer to nourish the epidermis," he notes (06:17).

The conversation highlights how Serucell mimics the natural wound healing process in a controlled lab environment to rejuvenate skin cells. "We create a stress... then we collect all of this signaling that the cells are basically trying to heal themselves," Dr. Netto elaborates (09:00).

Serucell’s Innovative Approach: Dual Cell Line Secretome and KFS Complex

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to explaining Serucell's unique dual cell line secretome. Dr. Brett emphasizes the synergy achieved by co-culturing keratinocytes and fibroblasts, which produces a more complex and effective signaling profile than single cell lines. "When we co-cultured them together, there was actual synergy... there are molecules and proteins created that didn't exist in either of the single cell line samples," he remarks (15:47).

Dr. Netto introduces the KFS Complex, Serucell's proprietary ingredient designed to replicate the skin's natural environment more accurately. "KFS was born... to mimic what your skin is with a dual cell line on a cell level with the stress, which creates a much more innate intelligence of healing," he explains (13:34).

AI-Driven Research and Development

Serucell leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance their research and development processes. Dr. Gerald outlines how AI accelerates data interpretation, allowing the team to identify effective combinations of molecules and proteins for therapeutic use. "AI... is just accelerating data interpretation. So we can see what the next step is. It's expedited our research by decades probably," he states (24:06).

Dr. Netto adds that AI facilitates the creation of multicellular secretomes that can address specific skin concerns, positioning Serucell at the forefront of technologically advanced skincare solutions. "Multicellar circuitome can stand on its own or it can also be used as a library with the help of AI to determine some possible combination for therapeutic use," he comments (25:41).

Product Features and Consumer Benefits

The discussion transitions to the practical aspects of Serucell's products. Dr. Brett highlights the broad applicability across different skin types and ages, emphasizing the natural peptides used: "These are all natural peptides... this is a language that your body understands," he affirms (20:37).

Ekta shares her personal experience, praising the product's formulation and usability. "The formulations are very sophisticated... it absorbs really fast into your skin and doesn't leave any residue," she states (28:12). Additionally, the products are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing skincare routines, making them versatile for makeup application.

Future Developments and Innovations

Looking ahead, Dr. Netto and Dr. Gerald reveal plans for expanding Serucell's product line. Upcoming launches include a Next Serum, a Dual Sphere Exfoliant, and a Hair Serum. They are also developing a serum that combines the benefits of KFS with topical Botox for quicker results (31:42).

Furthermore, Serucell is partnering with academic institutions like Marshall University's Pharmacy School to further research and testing, ensuring continual innovation and efficacy in their offerings (25:41).

Conclusion

Ekta wraps up the episode by reinforcing the importance of science-backed skincare solutions. She commends Serucell for their rigorous, results-driven approach and encourages listeners to explore their products for genuine skin health improvements. "Invest in science-backed skincare... if you're looking to change and heal your skin, this is a solid option," Ekta advises (33:16).

Dr. Netto and Dr. Gerald express their gratitude for the platform to share their work, highlighting the organic growth and positive feedback from users and even celebrities who trust Serucell for their skincare needs (30:59).
