Umbilical cord serum is the fluid component (plasma) of umbilical cord blood.  It is obtained after separating cellular material from the fluid following a normal birth with a healthy mother and newborn.  The cell free serum is an amazingly rich source of balanced growth factors (proteins), cell signalers, and nutrients and vitamins, which together provide the essential elements necessary for the normal growth of a healthy baby.  These components are present in our proprietary and patented NovoSerum® to signal, stimulate, and nourish skin cells to regenerate tissue for faster and better healing and to interrupt and reverse scar formation.  

Umbilical cord serum is supplied to Novo Thera by one of the top cord blood banks in the USA. It has the highest certifications in the cord blood bank industry, is rigorously regulated by the FDA, and has continuously operated under the same management and ownership for over twenty years. Novo Thera uses only ethically obtained umbilical cord serum.

NovoSerum is a patented, unadulterated, cell free complex of growth factors, cell signalers, and essential vitamins and nutrients extracted from umbilical cord serum after the successful birth of a healthy baby.

Growth factors are proteins found within stem cells. They are signaling agents which when released at their destination, communicate with fibroblast cells (factory cells) to produce needed replacement cells. Growth factors, essential to tissue repair and regeneration, are vital tools in the body’s natural healing process.

Human derived growth factors have been used clinically for decades, sourced from birth “by-products” such as placentas, foreskins, and umbilical cords.   

Novo Thera uses only ethically obtained growth factors derived from human umbilical cord serum sourced from a 20-year established FDA regulated cord blood bank, which follows strict FDA protocols requiring written parental consent following a normal birth with a healthy mother and baby. The mother’s blood and the cord blood is rigorously tested for purity and the absence of any contaminants.  If qualified, serum blood is filtered to remove all cellular material, gathering only desired growth factors, proteins, and peptides.  This highly specific fluid is the basis of NovoSerum®, our patented formula designed to use the body’s natural healing powers to accelerate healing and rejuvenate damaged skin to its normal appearance.  

In pharmacology Mechanism of Action describes the biochemical process by which a drug or treatment works on a molecular level in the body. NovoSerum’s MOA is simple, the complex of proteins and nutrients signal skin’s fibroblast (factory) cells to increase collagen and skin matrix production, the building blocks of new tissue, leading to faster and better healing, the interruption of scar tissue formation, and the regeneration of existing scar tissue to normal appearance.

Premium skin care (beauty) products often use growth factors derived from plants and even snails. Novo Thera’s growth factors are not derived from plants or snails, nor fetal tissue or penis foreskins.  NovoSerum never sits in cultured medium containing fetal bovine serum to grow and replicate. Novo Thera uses only ethically obtained human umbilical cord serum in its natural and healthy state to derive the growth factors used in NovoSerum.

No synthetic fragrances are used in Novo Thera products.  Rapid Healing Cream and Scar Cream are noncomedogenic, gentle, and non-irritating. They are easy to apply and absorb immediately. Organic tea tree oil, included in Rapid Healing Cream for its natural antibacterial properties, has a mild smell like eucalyptus oil. 

Scar Cream and Rapid Healing Cream are manufactured for Novo Thera by a woman owned cGMP compliant research and manufacturing business located in Orange County, California. Ingredients are sourced globally with an emphasis on the USA and Europe. Cord blood serum is obtained exclusively from an FDA regulated cord blood bank located in the USA. 

Yes. Robert M. Lavker, Ph.D., Professor of Dermatology and Director of Dermatology Research at Northwestern University Medical School, conducted a double-blind clinical study which showed a significant increase in collagen and skin matrix production after thirty days of twice daily topical applications of NovoSerum.
