Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the skin. They communicate with cells to stimulate collagen production, repair damage, and maintain skin health — essentially telling your skin to behave younger.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are fragments of proteins. In skincare, different peptide sequences trigger different biological responses. Signal peptides stimulate collagen and elastin production. Carrier peptides deliver trace minerals to skin cells. Neurotransmitter peptides (like argireline) relax facial muscles to reduce expression lines. Enzyme inhibitor peptides slow down the breakdown of existing collagen.

Skymedic's peptide formulations combine multiple peptide types for comprehensive anti-aging effects. Our delivery systems ensure peptides reach their target cells at effective concentrations.

Clinical Evidence

Multi-peptide formulations have been shown to increase collagen production by up to 300% in vitro. In clinical trials, patients using peptide-based serums showed a 36% reduction in wrinkle depth and a 29% improvement in skin firmness over 8 weeks.

For Aesthetic Professionals

Peptides complement every treatment modality. Use them to enhance results from microneedling, chemical peels, and laser treatments. They're particularly effective in maintenance protocols between clinic visits.
