Acetyl Octapeptide-3 Usage And Synthesis

Description

Acetyl Octapeptide-3, also known as SNAP-8, is a synthetic peptide that is based around octapeptide-3, a peptide complex composed of the amino acids aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, and methionine. This peptide is said to improve the look of signs of aging formed from repetitive facial expressions. Like all peptides, it has water-binding properties and theoretical skin-restoring ability. It may play a role in helping skin look younger and can help hydrate and smooth skin.

Uses

anti-wrikle

benefits

Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is mimics N-terminal of SNAP-25, competiting againstthe site of SNAP-25, inhibiting release ofAcetylcholine(Ach), muscle contraction, reduceexpression lines.Higher activity than AcetylHexapeptide-8.Its recommended dosage is 3~10%.

Mechanism of action

The way Acetyl Octapeptide-3 works is by limiting the contraction of facial muscles, which in turn helps to reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines. It is similar in its mechanism to Botox, but it is a safer and less invasive alternative. It is also less expensive than Botox injections, which makes it more accessible to a broader range of people.

Safety

Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is considered to be safe for most people. However, some individuals have reported experiencing some mild side effects, such as irritation or redness of the skin. If you experience any side effects after using Snap-8 peptide, stop using it and consult with a dermatologist.
