Benefits of Peptides in the Skin

Sports Research Collagen Peptides

Many people have started researching the benefits of peptides such as collagen and elastin in the skin. The body does not store collagen, but it is the main tissue which provides for the structure of the skin. Since skin cells die off over time, the more important the collagen and elastin become.

So, what is peptide therapy? It is a procedure in which the body's natural collagen and elastin are replaced with synthetically produced collagen and elastin. There are various methods used to replace the collagen and elastin, but peptide therapy is considered to be one of the safest procedures as well as one of the most effective.

The first step in peptide therapy is to get a skin analysis. The results will give an accurate idea of the levels of collagen and elastin present in the skin. In order to achieve the desired results, the patient will have to undergo two skin evaluations; the first one will give an idea of the thickness of the skin and the second one will give an assessment of the overall appearance of the skin.

Next, the doctor will decide on the type of collagen peptide injections that he/she wishes to use. The common types of collagen peptides are Cynergy TK, Functional Keratin, Matrixyl and Haloxyl. All these are very expensive but the best part is that they have been proven to work wonders in the skin.

Cynergy TK is known to increase the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. It is very commonly used for the treatment of the aging signs such as wrinkles and sun spots. It is also widely used for the improvement of the skin's texture and firmness.

Functional Keratin is another very popular typeof peptide used for the treatment of skin aging signs. Functional Keratin is a mixture of peptides that are known to increase the production of elastin and collagen. This particular peptide is the best because it has been thoroughly tested and is proven to be safe for the skin.

Haloxyl is also a popular type of peptide that is used in the treatment of wrinkles and other aging signs. A lot of people think that Haloxyl is not as effective as Cynergy TK but this is not true. Haloxyl actually has its own special property that makes it work even better than Cynergy TK.

Haloxyl does not only increase the production of collagen and elastin but it also increases the production of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for holding the skin's moisture. Without it, the skin loses its elasticity.

Once the skin analysis is completed, the doctor will decide the type of collagen peptide therapy that he/she will give the patient. Usually, injections of the peptide are given once a week for several months. However, the patient can take this peptide orally as well.

Although the results of peptide therapy are very impressive, they also have side effects. Some people are allergic to collagen and some are not. Allergic reactions are mainly found to occur in patients who have allergies to eggs and soy.

Although the effectiveness of collagen peptide therapy is very good, there are still people who are not satisfied with their results. There are two types of problems that can happen after getting collagen and elastin injections: dermabrasion and telangiectasias. Dermabrasion is one of the most common side effects after collagen and elastin injections.

Collagen peptides are now easily available in all skin care stores. With the help of a dropper, the injections can be done without any hassle. As for the rare side effects, patients should consult their doctors to find out about the type of injection that can cause them.
