Every year, modern cosmetology pleases women with original novelties designed to help solve the eternal question: how to stop time? Not so long ago, as a means of providing reliable prevention of age-related skin changes, peptides appeared in cosmetology (injections), reviews of which on the Internet are very positive. What is the essence of the method?
Step into the story
The founder of biorevitalization, a revolutionary trend in cosmetology that rejuvenates the skin at the cellular level, is believed by the Swiss doctor Paul Nichars, who began experiments on embryonic cells back in 1913.
It is peptides in cosmetology (injections), reviews about the effects of which on the body that made a splash among users at one time, are the original basis for biorevitalization (injections that stimulate the restoration of natural skin hydration).
In addition, cosmetologists are eager to add this panacea to preparations intended for face and body skin care, alopecia control, etc.
Yes, the fame that peptides have gained in cosmetology (injection) is widespread. Reviews help to make this procedure more and more popular.
What are they needed for?
Peptides for the face and body began to be used in several directions:
- anti-aging and moisturizing;
- blocking the activity of the sebaceous glands and providing a reduction in acne and post-acne;
- activating the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid;
- having the effect of Botox.
These funds are actively used to solve problems such as rosacea, excessive pigmentation, wrinkling, fat secretion, increased skin sensitivity, age-related changes, scars, acne, etc. In addition to the skin of the face, they are also used for the body - the neckline, neck , knees, elbows, intimate zones.
One of the advantages of using the drug is the compatibility of various cosmetic procedures: creams, contour plastics, biorevitalization, mesotherapy, laser, etc.
Peptides in cosmetology (injection) are presented by cosmetologists as a unique tool that allows you to solve various aesthetic problems and significantly increase the effectiveness of other injection techniques.
From the point of view of biochemistry, this substance is a biologically active natural or synthetic compound of molecules, representing two or more amino acids linked via a peptide bond. These short chains of proteins have unique properties: with their help, it becomes possible to streamline all processes in the body. The peptides seem to start the rejuvenation program: obeying their "command", the body again begins to produce the necessary amount of proteins, which leads to effective rejuvenation of all tissues.
They activate the skin's production of elastin and collagen. Under their influence, it again acquires elasticity, elasticity, there is a visual alignment of the relief, reducing the number of wrinkles.
About benefits and side effects
Beauticians consider peptide components to be among the most promising for use in mesotherapy and biorevitalization procedures, in the system for improving contour plastics, as well as for introducing them into external cosmetics. In comparison with preparations based on amino acids and proteins, peptides have a number of advantages that make it possible to use them not only by specialists during cosmetic procedures, but also at home
These compounds are used in preparation for plastic surgery and in the postoperative period, before and after complex cosmetic procedures. This is justified by the following features of peptide therapy:
- accelerates the regeneration process;
- improves skin adaptation;
- reduces rehabilitation time;
- reduces the risk of complications.
Unfortunately, the use of these substances in bioregulation does not exclude side effects, due to their ability to multiplely affect cells of different tissues. For example, positively characterized cytokines, entering the blood, negatively affect the body. In certain diseases, peptides cause an activation of the inflammatory process, an allergy. They are also able to provoke the development of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, gout, cancer.
Similar episodes of the side effect of the drug in cosmetology practice are not registered, but the risk of their occurrence is theoretically not excluded by specialists.
Peptides: reviews, application
The most popular means, depending on the direction of their impact, are divided into groups.
- Reconstructors of the skin. According to reviews, the effect of anti-aging peptides - Matrixyl TM, decapeptide-5, thioredoxin, etc. - is noticeably manifested in an increase in skin tone and elasticity, a decrease in the number of wrinkles, a decrease in scars, and skin rejuvenation. This is due to the effective ability of the drug to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, antioxidant protection.
- With the effect of Botox. Users speak of such products - argireline, acetyl octapeptide-3, etc. - as those that can effectively smooth out wrinkles and even out skin texture. This occurs as a result of starting the process of blocking muscle receptors, paralyzing facial expressions by the action of drugs.
- With a whitening effect. The use of peptides - melanostatin-5TM, pentapeptide-13, etc. - according to reviews, leads to a significant whitening of the skin, caused by a decrease in the formation of melanin.
- Immunomodulating and decongestant. The features of the peptides — palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3, soy peptide, etc. — include their ability to quickly heal, restore skin, and normalize microcirculation.
Injection Techniques
According to numerous reviews, injections of peptides in combination with hyaluronic acid work wonders. Courses of procedures with the basis of these drugs significantly improve the condition of the skin, contribute to the activation of internal processes, rejuvenate skin cells. After biorevitalization with the addition of these substances, the face looks young and radiant.
In modern cosmetology, peptides are the guardians of beauty. Instructions for the use of drugs provide a description of the rules of both injection and non-injection techniques.
How is the biorevitalization session
At the beginning of the session, the cosmetologist treats the problem area with anesthetic cream, then makes a subcutaneous injection. The desired effect is visible already a day after the procedure. After it, no special rehabilitation is required, it is enough for several days not to do makeup, not to touch the face, treat the injection site with antiseptic agents and refuse to visit the pool, sauna, or physical activity for two weeks.
Usually, 3-4 biorevitalization procedures are sufficient, with a two-week break between them.
Along with biorevitalization in cosmetology, such an effective peptide-based injection procedure as mesotherapy is used. What is its essence? It differs from biorevitalization in that it does not use hyaluronic acid, in addition, the effect of this procedure is less stable.
Mesotherapy is used to correct defects in the skin of the face and body. Using this procedure, the following problems are solved:
- cellulite and fat deposits (in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks);
- manifestations of rosacea;
- scars and scars;
- enlargement of pores, excessive oily skin.
These injections are used in the form of courses of 4 to 5 procedures with a 10-day break between them. They require regular monitoring of the result: after mesotherapy, the patient needs a single injection with a break of several months.
Both procedures are contraindicated:
- in the presence of allergies or individual intolerance;
- during pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- with a predisposition to scarring of the skin;
- during an exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- with skin defects at the site of the proposed operation.
A new word in injection cosmetology
An innovation is platinum peptides in cosmetology. The use of this product in biorevitalization provides effective hydration and nutrition of the skin, eliminates minor defects, and promotes rejuvenation.
The composition of the drug contains substances obtained by biotechnological synthesis. The peptide complexes of this line have different points of application that rejuvenate the skin. The drug stimulates the regeneration of phytoblasts (skin tissue cells), improves blood circulation, microcirculation and collagen production. As a result, there is strengthening and lifting, improving the texture, color and moisture of the skin.
The series is enriched with powerful antioxidant protection, is capable of exerting antiradical and antitumor effects, resist photoaging, and significantly accelerate the processes of cellular detoxification. Each peptide has its own narrow focus, common is effective hydration from the very first session and prolongation of action at the end of the course.
Subcutaneous and intradermal preparations are introduced using special techniques of biorevitalization and bio-reinforcement. Used in the presence of various aesthetic defects, inflammatory diseases, hair loss, seborrhea, etc.
Peptides in cosmetology, injections: reviews, price
In order to radically rejuvenate the skin of the face and body (neck, décolleté, eye area, etc.), cosmetology uses and recommends programs based on the substances described, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by tests and practices of the world's leading clinics.
Professional peptide programs that more intensively affect all layers of the skin and muscles can be supplemented by non-injection procedures.
The following is known about their cost to leading clinics in Moscow:
- express program with a hydropeptide (provide a solution to the problems of rosacea, skin sensitivity, pigmentation, dehydration, fine wrinkles, express update before important meetings) - 4800 rubles;
- the cost of the “Pill Care with Hydropeptide” programs (they provide an effective solution to the problems of age-related changes, rejuvenation, inhibition of aging processes, normalization of hydro-lipid balance, etc.) - 7500 rubles;
- carrying out the Stop-acne procedure (provides effective cleansing from acne, normalization of dermis fat, healing) - 5500 rubles .;
- procedures for men (provide improved quality characteristics of the skin, good nutrition) - 7800 rubles.
Alternative to Beauty Injections
Many of the users who are negative about “beauty injections” prefer non-injection peptides. Cream with the effect of Botox holds a strong position in cosmetology as an effective alternative to the botox procedure, which has both its advantages and disadvantages.
Botulinum toxin is absent in the composition of creams with the Botox effect, as a result of which they do not give such an obvious effect as injections. But in the use of creams, unlike injections, there are no contraindications and side effects. The active components of cosmetics with the Botox effect - peptides, botulinum toxin mimics - can slow the passage of an impulse from nerve endings to muscles, resulting in soft relaxation and smoothing of wrinkles.
The benefits of the cream include:
- absence (in practice) of side effects;
- ensuring the natural appearance of the face (the effect of "puppetry" inherent in injections is excluded);
- more effective anti-aging effect.
The disadvantages of creams are considered a less pronounced smoothing effect, the need for regular use for 1-2 months, a significant cost.
In recent years, the study and use of peptides in cosmetology has shown their high efficiency. The use of these drugs allows you to minimize the results of the skin aging process in a short time, and also solve many other problems. The use of peptides has become one of the most promising areas in modern cosmetology.
