Edge Systems LLC page struggles to [http://web.archive.org/web/20160313194950/http://www.edgeforlife.com/ctgf/ define what Growth Factors are] without mentioning where they are obtained from.
According to Professional Beauty: "the growth factor taken from the foreskin stem cells are so powerful, just a single piece of tissue can generate over a million treatments."

The procedure uses a HydroPeel tip to exfoliate the [[skin]] while applying TNS serum simultaneously."
