Trio

Tri-Peptide Cosmetic is a combination blend of Leuphasyl®, Argireline®, and GHK-Cu. One of the hallmarks of aging is facial wrinkling, characterized by folding, furrows, and creasing. The process of developing facial wrinkles is in large part due to changes in collagen production and increased collagen degradation in combination with environmental exposure. One of the most significant environmental contributors to the development of wrinkles is muscle contractions, which cause repetitive facial positioning. Therefore, treatment options that reduce facial muscular contractions and preserve collagen health are most useful to prevent and potentially reverse the rate of development of facial wrinkling. Biochemically, muscles contract due to the neural release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, or chemical that the body uses to signal nerve activation or deactivation. Given this mechanism, BOTOX® has been widely used to combat the progression of facial wrinkling. While BOTOX® is generally a safe and effective treatment option, potentially more reliable options exist in the form of topical cosmeceutical peptides that have Botox-like and signaling mechanisms of action.
