Best Peptide Skin Care Products & Treatments
Wrinkles, fine lines, dry skin. Noticing changes in your skin can be worrying or even alarming, but peptide skin care products might be just the answer. Peptides are more than just a buzzword in skin care – they reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for visibly smoother, plumper and more youthful-looking skin. Let's examine the effects of these ingredients, their benefits, as well as spa treatments with similar collagen boosting effects.
What are peptides?
Peptides are a vital ingredient in skin care products that make the skin look plump and youthful. When applied to the face, peptides activate the production of proteins (such as collagen) in the skin. Collagen is important when it comes to improving the look of our skin. It acts as a building block for skin, bones, joints, teeth, muscles, joints and connective tissue and gives our skin firmness and elasticity. Unfortunately, collagen production decreases with age, which makes the skin look less youthful. By including peptides in your skin care regimen, you can dramatically improve the appearance of the tone and texture of your skin.
Curious about the effectiveness of these ingredients? Let's take a closer look at the product options and spa treatments below.

Spa treatments for smooth skin
Peptide skin care products aren't the only solution to strong, supple looking skin. Support your skin with collagen-boosting spa treatments; You can contact an Authorized Eminence Organics Spa in your area to see what services they offer.
Microneedling
Microneedling (or collagen induction therapy) is said to stimulate collagen production. This treatment creates thousands of microscopic punctures in the skin to induce wound healing. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's fibroblasts to synthesize new collagen and elastin. Stefanie Williams MD told Get The Gloss: “Medical needling gives the skin a gentle nudge to remind it to keep producing fresh collagen. It is a very natural regenerative treatment that helps the skin to help itself. "
Laser treatments
Fractional lasers are another point of contact. These work in a similar way to microneedling in that they cause tiny, controlled injuries that trigger the formation of new collagen. In this case, instead of medical needles, the skin care professional will use resurfacing lasers to stimulate collagen production. Dr. Drawer told Harper’s Bazaar: "Lasers work by punching microscopic holes in the skin, creating a controlled burn, and using the skin's ability to heal itself after wounds."
Microcurrent therapy
If your skin is in the early stages of the aging process, microcurrent treatments can be beneficial. This type of spa treatment is best for skin that is showing the earliest signs of aging as it conditions the skin's fibroblasts to function optimally and continue to produce healthy, high quality collagen. In microcurrent therapy, two metal rods that conduct weak electricity are pulled across the surface of the skin to stimulate and energize the facial muscles.
