Q. What’s the deal with Peptides I read about them in a magazine, it sounded like they are the next Big Thing.




A. Yes, peptides are the next big thing. They are also the real deal! Peptides are small protein molecules that can work with skin’s collagen and elastin to repair DNA damage from normal aging and from sun damage. They work in connection with skin’s natural repair systems. In the February issue of DaySpa magazine a column by skin specialist Andrea Moret explains the workings of peptides as acting messengers transporting data to skin cells and sending signals to ensure proper nourishment and repair. When collagen is lacking the peptides stimulate its creation. If the skin’s elastin (what helps keep skin firm and wrinkle free) is damaged peptides send the message to repair and restore elasticity to the skin. Peptides success is backed by real clinical evidence. Until recently the results like can be achieved with peptides were only found in plastic surgery or injectables. Unlike these options, peptides cause no skin irritation, scars or down time. They actually restore the skin and are good for your skin. The really exciting news about peptides is that they not only treat damaged skin they actually can prevent future damage! They can slow down the damage done by the normal aging process so in effect they can slow down the results of aging on your skin!!! Peptides come in a variety of forms. The best will cost you some money but the results will be real. The evidence of what peptides are doing for skin means they will be around for awhile, they are not a fad. Prices will come down as demand goes up. In my opinion you do get what you pay for. If you’ve always wished for a way to erase some of the age on your skin and slow down the aging process significantly, peptides are your wish come true!
