You may have heard the term copper peptides. Being used in anti wrinkle creams, copper peptides are a wound healing compound that are part of the quick regeneration of cell. If you cut your finger and the blood clots, copper peptides speed up the healing of the skin, before scarring is produces, then when the scar fades, new skin is produced with the blood vessels. Basically, this is how the principle of copper peptides contribute to the anti-aging, anti wrinkle process.
An application might include Alpa Hydroxy Acids to remove dead or dry skin cells might be followed with copper peptides to speed up the rejuvenation of the area. Dermatologists often use strong Alpha Hydroxy Acid peels, followed by Copper peptides to enhance the healing process. This results in newer, healthier-looking skin.
Many anti-aging creams and anti wrinkle creams rely on this same technology, except in a milder application. It's a contensious issue whether an over-the-counter simulation of this process is possible, since it is really a two-part step process that is usually best left to an expert for optimum result. It is possible to purchase a simulated treatment, however, results could take longer to measure, and the copper peptides that are available over-the-counter do not have the same strength as those that dermatologist use.
Some processes like this can be dangerous, as it is the same technology that is used to treat burn patients and is considered a little like skin remodelling or rebuilding. Similar again are laser abrasive treatments, which can leave scab or scars that last weeks.
There are anti aging creams and anti wrinkle creams that contain copper peptides, and they may contain a wound-healing, over-the-counter type of agent, that works much like a topical antibiotic, like Neosporin. This technique for wrinkle reduction would involve removal of that outer layer of skin, along with the encouraged healing of a new, under-layer of skin, that would not have the blemishes, age spots or discoloration of the previous one. There are some microdermabrasion kits that utilize this method of skin remodeling or rebuilding of a newer, better layer of skin, over multiple applications and time.
You would need to do research on what will work best for you based on the your skin type, where you are in the aging process, and know what side effects to look for. Since this normally involves an alpha hydroxy acid treatment, which can cause redness, burning or blistering in some individuals, followed by a copper peptide based healing moisturizer, you need to exercise caution for side effects and check with a dermatologist, when in doubt. - 15634
