The cosmetologist spoke about the mechanism of regenerative cosmetics

Components that were used exclusively in the cosmetologist's office a few years ago have now become part of everyday skin care. Ekaterina Anchikova, cosmetologist, dermato-venereologist for d'Alba, told about this on May 27 in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

According to the expert, peptides have become the first injectable products that have successfully been used in home care. These short chains of amino acids do not mechanically fill wrinkles, but transmit a signal to cells to produce collagen, restore the barrier and retain moisture. Modern peptide serums work delicately and are suitable even for sensitive skin, although their effect is cumulative.

"Copper peptides, matrixyl, neuropeptides with the effect of relaxing facial expressions, and signaling peptides for stimulating collagen are especially popular today. However, it is important to understand that peptides do not work like botulinum toxin or fillers. Their effect is cumulative, because the skin changes gradually, it becomes more dense, moisturized," she said.

The cosmetologist noted that classical cosmetics have long worked according to the scheme of moisturizing and protection, whereas modern regenerative cosmetology is aimed at stimulating the skin's own regenerative processes. The main characters are biomimetic components, substances that help restore the skin to its youthful state.

Anchikova named exosomes as one of the most discussed technologies in recent years.

"They have become a breakthrough in aesthetic medicine due to their ability to participate in tissue repair processes. In injection protocols, they really show pronounced results, because they help the skin recover faster after lasers, reduce inflammation, and improve skin quality," said the cosmetologist.

According to Lovtsova, the nature of aging depends on lifestyle and habits. She identified different types of age-related changes, linking them to nutrition, posture, stress levels, and UV exposure.
