Peptides and Microneedling: Innovations in Aesthetics

18 February, 2023

As a top-rated medispa, we understand that healthy skin and hair is a major concern for many individuals. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best possible treatments to help them achieve their skin and hair goals. One of the treatments we offer is the use of peptides, which can have a significant impact on the health and appearance of your skin and hair.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins. They are found naturally in the body and play a critical role in various physiological functions, including skin and hair health. Peptides are often used in skincare and haircare products to address specific concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, hair loss, and thinning hair.

The Science Behind Peptides

The use of peptides in skincare and haircare products is based on scientific research that has shown the effectiveness of certain peptides in addressing specific concerns. For example, studies have shown that the use of peptides such as matrixyl can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Matrixyl is a peptide that stimulates collagen production, which helps to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Similarly, certain peptides have been shown to be effective in addressing hair loss and thinning hair. One example is the peptide called copper tripeptide-1, which has been shown to increase hair growth and improve hair thickness.

How Peptides Can Benefit Your Skin

Peptides can offer numerous benefits to your skin. One of the primary benefits is their ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the skin. As we age, our collagen production naturally decreases, which can result in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By stimulating collagen production, peptides can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restore the skin's firmness and elasticity.

In addition to stimulating collagen production, peptides can also help to improve the skin's hydration levels. Peptides such as hyaluronic acid can help to attract and retain moisture in the skin, which can help to improve the skin's texture and overall appearance.

Peptides can also help to improve the skin's barrier function. The skin's barrier is responsible for protecting the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV rays. When the skin's barrier is compromised, it can result in dryness, irritation, and other skin concerns. Peptides such as ceramides can help to strengthen the skin's barrier function, which can help to prevent these concerns and keep the skin looking healthy and radiant.

How Peptides Can Benefit Your Hairx

Peptides can also offer numerous benefits to your hair. As mentioned earlier, peptides such as copper tripeptide-1 can help to increase hair growth and improve hair thickness. Additionally, peptides such as keratin can help to strengthen the hair and reduce breakage. Peptides can also help to improve the overall health of the scalp. The scalp is the foundation of healthy hair, and when the scalp is unhealthy, it can result in hair loss and other hair concerns. Peptides such as biotinoyl tripeptide-1 can help to improve the blood flow to the scalp, which can help to nourish the hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.

Pluryal Mesotherapy Peptides

At our medispa, we offer Pluryal mesotherapy peptides, which are a type of mesotherapy treatment that uses a combination of peptides and other active ingredients to address specific skin concerns. Pluryal mesotherapy peptides can be used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hydrate the skin, and improve overall skin texture.

The Pluryal mesotherapy peptide treatment involves the use of a handheld device that delivers the active ingredients into the skin through microneedling.

These microchannels can be delivered via traditional microneedling or RF microneedling. By microneedling the skin, the active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin, where they can have a more significant impact.

The micro-needling process itself is relatively painless, although some clients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation similar to light scratching. Before the treatment begins, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the skin to minimize any discomfort.

After the Pluryal mesotherapy treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or inflamed, but this is typically temporary and should subside within a few days. Clients should avoid direct sunlight and use broad-spectrum sunscreen for several days after the treatment to protect their skin.

Pluryal mesotherapy with peptides is an effective way to improve the appearance and health of the skin. By delivering active ingredients directly into the deeper layers of the skin, this treatment can help to stimulate collagen production, improve hydration, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

If you're interested in trying Pluryal mesotherapy with peptides, it's essential to work with a trained and experienced practitioner who can help you achieve the best possible results. Our team of experts at our medispa is trained in the latest techniques and technologies to help you achieve your skin rejuvenation goals.
