Abstract
The use of peptides brings excellent results in all cases in which the efficiency of the skin has decreased relaxation, expression lines, lack of firmness and for this reason, they are also used in different pre-treatment formulations and support for aesthetic medicine treatments. Here follows some effects: increase the effectiveness of cosmetic formulations and mesoformulations (including fillers), anti-aging, anti-pigmentation, hair loss reduction, promotion of skin re generation, anticellulite action, degradation of skin fat Can stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, other matrix proteins and glucosaminoglycans. The GHK (Liver Cell Growth Factor) is an example of a signal peptide and was one of the first peptides discovered in this bioactivity. In cosmetics we tend to use only very short chains with peptides composed of 3, 4 sometimes 6 amino acids. This allows a considerably broader field of action, a greater effectiveness, but above all they have a particular specificity of action. In cosmetics are used bound to lipophilic molecules, or alternatively inside liposomes (obviously in order to optimize skin absorption). In dermatology and in aesthetic medicine, currently, peptides are known in relation to all possible applications for the stimulation of collagen synthesis, as well as for the "botox-like" effects related to the treatment of wrinkles.
