OVA began as part of my journey as a plastic surgeon. I do a procedure called facial fat transfer where we put fat in the face. A component of that is actually the stem cells within the fat can which make the skin look better from the inside out.
What I wanted to see was if there was something from the outside in that could actually benefit the skin as well? That’s what led me to OVA, which is a plant-derived stem cell rejuvenation of the skin.
The concept behind OVA was really two things: One as I mentioned was stem cell rejuvenation.
To me, it was really important to provide at a cellular level beautiful rejuvenation using all natural plant-derived stem cells.
The second concept was ease of use. As a gentleman, I like to use one product in the morning and one product at night. I simply couldn’t find that. There are just too many things on the shelves right now that require too many steps.
I wanted it to be easy – so this is easy for both men and women. That’s really another fundamental element of this advanced stem cell therapy product line for the skin.
Ova is a name that means “eggs” in plural in Latin, so it’s a rebirth. The slogan we use is “rebirth in every cell,” because I believe at a cellular level there is a rebirth every time you use this product. I talk more about this in the following video:
The other concept behind this is that OVA as an acronym stands for Opulence, which is the luster of the skin, Vitality which is skin health, and Agelessness, which is really that youthful countenance you can have with this product. The names we have chosen for the products embody these characteristics: OVA Clean, OVA AM, OVA PM and OVA PM-Lite.
At the core of this product is the quality of the ingredients and the results it delivers. But for me, I’m very passionate about design.
I’ve designed every part of my life, and this product is no exception. I’ve designed the packaging, the name, the logo – every element of it. And I really think good design is an expression of good product.
At the heart of this product is good technology. I’ve worked with biochemists with 20 years of experience in a laboratory that is amazing in terms of its quality control and its research.
I’ve reviewed stacks of white papers that really go through the science of this. Going through the science step-by-step of all the elements that make up this product makes me believe that this product is going to succeed.
Forget technology. Forget good design. Forget the name. And forget the concept behind it. What really matters is results.
And for me, the results shine. I’ve tried so many skin care products over the last ten years, and nothing really impacted my skin the way this does.
Once we got the final formulation right, I was just blown away by the results. It was such a great result for my skin. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before.
That’s why I am so passionate about it!
