Joining us today is the amazing team, Dr. Nathan Bryan and Susan Schaffer. They are the creators behind Pneuma Nitric Oxide and their latest line that we’re going to talk about today, which is the Activating Anti-Aging Nitric Oxide Skincare System. I’m thrilled to share this with you. Just a little bit of background, Dr. Nathan Bryan is a pioneer in his field. He has been in nitric oxide research for over 20 years and has authored five books along the way. Susan Shaffer is the amazing co-creator of Pneuma Nitric Oxide as well as this new amazing skincare line. So let’s just kick this off. Tell me more about how you came up with the anti-aging skincare line?
Well, I’ve been doing nitric oxide research for over 20 years, made some fundamental discoveries, and issued over two dozen patents. So when we figured out how to make nitric oxide, my objective became to introduce this technology into every major market segment around the globe. And we also realize that part of the aging process and getting older and looking older is loss of nitric oxide in circulation and blood flow to the skin to the cells of the dermis. So that really opened up a new venture and a new opportunity for us to expand our nitric oxide technology in skincare and beauty products. Because aging skin, loss of hydration, and loss of collagen, results from lack of sufficient blood flow, which is a consequence of lack of nitric oxide. So this fits in really nicely with our old philosophies. If your body can’t make nitric oxide, we do it for you. And so in the 101 Nitric Oxide Serum, it’s a dual-chamber delivery system, you mix the components together, you apply it to your skin, regenerate nitric oxide, and you can actually see the nitric oxide working right before your eyes.
You apply one pump from each side. And then I rub them together, and you’ll notice three things. I’m applying it to my forearm here, but when you apply it to the face, you get the same effects. So you’ll see it start to bubble, which means that it’s generating nitric oxide gas. And then you’ll see the blood vessels here in my arms start to dilate, that diffuses into the tissue, it dilates the blood vessels. But it also opens up the small blood vessels that recruit capillaries. And so you can see wherever I apply this, you’ll see it start to turn pink. That’s indicative of nitric oxide production. It’s opening up the small blood vessels, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to every cell in which this is applied. So if your body can’t make nitric oxide, we do it for you. And the results are quite profound. I mean, we’ve got four published clinical trials on this skincare technology, amazing results. So we can’t do anything about chronological aging, that we can do something about the way you look and feel.
Susan Shaffer
We’re the only ones on the market to bring this forward. This is the missing link that is needed to help slow down the aging process for people.
Emmy Grimes
Yes, and you know, this is even cohesive to Dr. Tennant’s methods. I think that if you look good, you feel good. And it’s just a domino effect of everything that’s going on with you. So I think that this is a key component of your health. What differentiates you from other skincare lines, because obviously, it’s a huge market out there.
Dr. Nathan Bryan
Well, we really created a new product category, there’s no other nitric oxide skincare product on the market. Most skincare products either try to hide fine lines and wrinkles, and that’s not what we want to do, we want to get to the root cause of aging. Because no matter what skincare you use, if you’re using our product, this is an add-on. And I think it’s the first thing you should use, because whether you’re using hyaluronic acid or another hydrating cream, if you use the serum, first you improve blood flow. And basically, everything you put on thereafter will be better absorbed, increased the effects of any skincare line you’re using.
Emmy Grimes
What are the type of results most people see and what kind of timeframe should they expect?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
Well, it’s a good question. You know, we put this through the rigor of randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials. We have four peer-reviewed published clinical trials from the results of this from looking at things like fine lines and wrinkles, and this is using it twice a day, for 30 days. So fine lines and wrinkles disappear. Anybody with problem skin, whether it’s an inflammatory condition, or you know, things like infections, bacterial infections, postures on the skin– nitric oxide at these doses is anti-microbial. So we kill the infection, restore blood flow, and oxygen nutrient delivery to the cells of the skin.
Emmy Grimes
Who would be the right candidate for this product?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
Well, I think it’s anybody that’s aging. I mean, certainly, we understand the aging process now from research over the past 20 years, the older we get, the less nitric oxide we make, and that’s what responsible for aging, not just aging of our blood vessels, but aging of our skin. So if you want to prevent the aging process, and the effects of aging, then I think the best advice is to use a nitric oxide-based technology, either internally or topically, and we can hit it from both sides.
Emmy Grimes
Is there anything that you want to share with people out there that are maybe new to even the anti-aging realm of skincare or want to know more about this?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
Yeah, I think nitric oxide is a relatively new discovery in the medical and scientific literature. It’s only about 30 years old. So, you know, our objective has been to inform and educate on the importance of nitric oxide and what it means for individual health. And I think what the science shows clearly is that if you lose the ability to generate nitric oxide, you advance rapidly, or you age rapidly that accounts for the aging process, whether it’s cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, all that’s associated with loss of nitric oxide production. So that’s internally, externally… when you lose nitric oxide, you lose collagen, you lose hydration, the cells become dysfunctional, they don’t turn over. And you see the aging skin, the sagging, the fine lines and wrinkles. If you restore nitric oxide through our product technology, cells regenerate, cells get what they need, the oxygen nutrients they need, they turn over, they regenerate, and you basically have glowing skin that you can actually see upon application.
Susan Shaffer
We want to help support the body and put back in what it’s lost. In the stories that we hear people are saying, “I feel better! I can tell the texture, the tone and clarity, and my skin. I don’t have to wear as much makeup as I used to or I don’t have to wear makeup at all. I really love how this has made me feel I can tell the difference. It’s a game-changer.” That is some feedback that we get consistently and some people will notice a difference immediately. Some people will notice a difference after they stop using it, but then they immediately want to get back on it.
Emmy Grimes
I know, in my personal journey using Pneuma, for 30 days I saw an instant result. I took pictures before and after, and it was pretty amazing. Just the little smile lines that were going away automatically so I know that just having the whole skincare line rolled up is going to be an amazing addition. So what’s the process of the actual system? Do you know what do you do first, in terms of each step?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
Well, we have a glycolic wash, that’s always first, you want to start with a clean face and get natural plant extracts in there that help with cleaning the face, cleaning the pores, and so on a clean face, then you apply the serum, one pump for me to rub it together and then apply it on the face and equity in the back of the hand. And then once that dries, give it a couple of minutes, and then apply the eye cream around the eyes. And then the face cream all over the face. Those are moisturizing, which basically kind of potentiate the effects of the nitric oxide serum.
Emmy Grimes
And you do that morning and night correct?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
Ideally, that’s right, that could be a great system. And then the face cream can also be applied also on the neck and the difficulty as well as the back of the hands. We’re hearing more feedback from a lot of our Medi Spas that the back of the hands is an area of concern people are coming in, because they miss this side and it shows aging as well.
Emmy Grimes
Right, the sunspots along the way. Do you recommend using sunscreen after applying the nitric oxide oxidizing activating system?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
If you’ve got a good, safe, clean sunscreen, I would give it maybe five or 10 minutes after you apply the serum and then apply it because you don’t want to disrupt the effects of the serum, the serum is designed to do one thing. And that’s to enhance nitric oxide production.
Emmy Grimes
In terms of the order with the system, it’s okay to do it right after the serum is put on?
Susan Shaffer
I have freckles, I’m very conscious of keeping my freckles at bay. So I do put sunscreen on but it’s the last thing that I do after I put the moisturizer on here. And then I do the serum, then I moisturize. And then I put the sunscreen on last.
Emmy Grimes
Does it help with discoloration from age spots?
Dr. Nathan Bryan
The results from our clinical trials demonstrate that so whether you’ve got, you know, eight spots in really any type of problem skin, we find that nitric oxide is agnostic to whatever the problem is. And it goes back to this concept you made that you guys champion is if you give the body what it needs, the body heals itself. We provide that and then the body clears that these age spots or problems skin areas.
Emmy Grimes
Yes, and I love that you talked about the root cause, you’re getting to the root cause and addressing it just like Dr. Tennant’s methods.
