What is Snap-8?
It is the newest form of Argireline, one of our favorite
anti-aging peptides. Argireline is a hexapeptide, meaning it is a chain of six peptides. It relaxes the muscles in our face so that there is less muscle contraction.
Snap-8 is an octapeptide or a string of eight peptides. The additional two peptides provide enhanced anti-aging benefits.
As the skin ages, it loses the ability to produce or utilize some of its
natural peptides.
Enzymes are designed to break down skin structures, make way for new structures, and work against collagen and elastin.
However, the skin cannot replace these supportive structures with new ones; the face begins to droop and sag from its original position.
Also, as part of the aging process, the skin becomes less able to hold on to its natural moisture.
To compound this, it also produces less moisture. When cells are not adequately hydrated, they are sunken, further worsening the look of already sagging skin.
How does Snap-8 Work?
It inhibits these contractions in much the same way that Botox does. Snap-8 captures and blocks the neurotransmitters that tell these muscles to contract.
As the muscles receive fewer and fewer of those neurotransmitters, they begin to relax, and therefore, the wrinkles they cause also start to relax.
Snap-8 is produced synthetically; the body responds to it as a naturally occurring peptide. This means that using Snap 8 will not irritate sensitive skin because the body does not try to rid itself of the peptides.
