NuGene International Receives Favorable Product Affirmations from Leading Southern California Spa and from International Celebrity Brande Roderick

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NuGene International, Inc. ("NuGene") (OTCQB: NUGN), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced skin and hair care lines utilizing adipose derived human stem cells and stem cell media, announced today that it recently received glowing reviews of its product lines from Contour Medical Spa in Hermosa Beach and international celebrity Brande Roderick.

Contour Medical Spa, established by Jennifer Baker in Hermosa Beach in conjunction with one of Beverly Hills' top plastic surgeons, exclusively promotes NuGene's products to customers and clients at Contour. Contour's practice, according to Ms. Baker, has grown since 2008, when Contour was established, to a current patient count exceeding 7,000. Ms. Baker, who is a registered nurse, is also a clinical advisor and educator for Suneva Pharmaceuticals, an international pharmaceutical company specializing in dermal fillers and cosmeceuticals.  

Ms. Baker uses NuGene's products in their procedures at Contour and recently stated, "The NuGene stem cell product line has dramatically improved the effectiveness of our office-based procedures. Contour Medical Spa is thrilled to offer this revolutionary product line to our patients. NuGene stem cell serum used after the Micro Needling procedure has rapidly become the most requested and performed procedure at Contour. The micro needle device utilizes specialized micro needles in a small sterile cartridge to create micro perforations into the epidermis and the top layer of the dermis.  As a result, the skin performs its natural repair mechanism enhanced by the NuGene stem cell formula. This procedure has yielded exceptional results rivaling many office-based laser procedures."

Brande Roderick, television actress, model and a recent recipient of the Micro Needling procedure further endorsed the results she observed with NuGene stem cell serum stating, "Since I started using the NuGene products, I've noticed my skin looks and feels younger. I have experienced softened lines and a smoother texture.  I've received lots of compliments from people I've known for a very long time about how much better my skin looks now than it did when I was in my 20's. I would recommend NuGene products to any woman who wants her skin to look better and more youthful."

"Micro Needling has become one of the most requested skin care treatments in recent years and its popularity is skyrocketing," said Dr. Fady Elias, Director of Professional Business Development for NuGene. "We believe that NuGene offers the ideal product that can augment and enhance this type of skin treatment using our proprietary stem cell media. Our product can be taken home and used on a continuous basis after the procedure to further enhance the effects."
