Peptide therapy works by using short strands of amino acids, which are the basic components of the body’s most important skin proteins: elastin, keratin and collagen. Collagen, elastin and keratin keep the skin firm, elastic and strong.
When a person ages, his or her body produces less collagen than before, causing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides stimulate the production of collagen, as well as helping to heal damaged skin by signalling the body’s skin cells to create new collagen and help repair damaged areas.
Peptide therapy is very mild and safe for all skin types, including those that may be sensitive to other harsh active ingredients (i.e. retinoids).
At Redefine Hair Transplant and Plastic Surgery Center, peptide-based skincare is often recommended as part of advanced skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatment plans, under the guidance of Dr Harikiran Chekuri.
How Do Peptides Work on the Skin at a Cellular Level?
Peptide therapy works by acting as messengers that communicate with skin cells and instruct them to perform specific functions.
Key ways peptides benefit the skin:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Strengthen the skin barrier and improve hydration
- Reduce inflammation and support healing
- Improve skin texture and firmness over time
Over time some peptides relax the facial muscles and therefore reduce the appearance of expression lines. Some peptides enhance the natural healing mechanisms of the skin.
Peptides are most beneficial when used consistently and with professional treatments for ongoing skin health. According to Dr Harikiran Chekuri, peptides are most effective when used consistently and combined with professional skin treatments for long-term skin health.
Who Should Use Peptides for Skin and When Can Results Be Seen?
Peptides are suitable for:
- Those people who notice the first signs of aging on themselves
- The people who have dry, dull or tired skin
- Those who have sensitive skin, or skin that has just had a procedure performed on it
