From skincare products to injectable therapies, peptides are all that everyone is talking about. Peptide therapy has emerged as one of the most popular minimally invasive treatments on the market. Peptides are used for regenerative, anti-ageing, and wellness purposes. But what exactly are they?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins such as collagen and elastin. They act as messengers, sending tiny signals that activate your skin’s natural renewal process, telling it to repair, firm, and rejuvenate. Peptides work with your body’s existing systems, signalling cells to perform functions they’re already designed to do. The body naturally produces many different peptides, each with specific roles: regulating hormones, supporting immune function, facilitating cellular repair, and much more. However, their production tends to decline with age, stress, and environmental factors.
Treatment typically involves small injections in the desired area with regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress. Most patients begin noticing effects within 2-4 weeks, with optimal results typically achieved after 3-6 months of consistent use.
