Working with peptides in cosmetology – this is a direction of aesthetic medicine, which consists in the injection of specifically selected peptides in order to modify the functioning of cells and their metabolism.
Maxillofacial Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, Geriatrician, Specialist in Laser Technologies in Aesthetic Medicine, Associate Professor, Department of Therapy, Geriatrics and Anti-Aging Medicine – Zarema Gazitaeva – has been practicing this technology for about 7 years.
The technology for administering peptides is quite well known, but new components for this therapy are constantly appearing, which allows achieving various modernized results.
In the article estet-portal.com you can find in detail the answers to the most pressing questions regarding working with peptide technologies.
Fields of application of injectable peptides in cosmetology
ZG: The mechanism of action of peptides is to coordinate the work of the cell. Depending on which tissue we want to regulate, we inject different peptides.
1. For example, there are peptides that work to stimulate fibroblasts to synthesize collagen. It should be remembered that fibroblasts are found not only in the skin, but also in the subcutaneous fat. Therefore, the administration of peptides allows not only to rejuvenate the skin, but to produce stromal biolifting.
Stromal lifting – pronounced tightening and compaction of subcutaneous fat due to increased collagen synthesis by fibroblasts.
2. To work with adipose tissue, we select a pool of peptides that bind to adipocyte receptors and change their metabolism. As a result, we can observe a decrease in adipocytes, and, consequently, a decrease in the volume of adipose tissue.

Liporeductant peptides allow to reduce the volume of adipose tissue without aseptic inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis.
3. Peptides allow us to work with melanocytes, thanks to which we reduce pigmentation, as well as reduce the sensitivity of melanocytes, stabilize them.
Peptide technologies allow for the prevention of post-inflammatory and post-traumatic hyperpigmentation.
4. Working with the hair follicle allows you to activate hair growth.
What is the relationship between peptide technology and muscle relaxation
Z.G.: Peptide technology mimics the action of botulinum toxin by acting on the same or accessory receptors.
Selective muscle relaxation with the help of peptides comes to replace the introduction of Botox.
Botulinum toxin is a product of biological synthesis, in contrast to it, peptide preparations are synthesized artificially, therefore more controlled.

Scarring process – it is a long step by step process. Peptides make it possible to prevent the appearance of hyper- and hypotrophic scars at the stage of wound healing. The use of peptides in the case of a fresh scar (up to 1 month old) leads to an improvement in trophism, stabilization of the scar and an improvement in the aesthetic appearance.
Old hypertrophic scars require complex application of peptides, enzymes and other techniques.
Peptide technologies are not used to correct keloid scars.
Allergy after application of peptide technologies: myth or reality
Synthetic peptides – these are short-chain, low-specific structures that are practically not recognized by our immune system, therefore they do not cause an allergic reaction. The use of synthetic peptides can cause a hyperergic reaction, which can be leveled by certain aftercare.
But if we talk about a complex product, which includes peptides, amino acids, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, then we cannot exclude the possibility of a hyperergic and allergic reaction.
