Tetrapeptide-3 Solution™ is a biomimetic lipopeptide derived from a growth factor that boosts the production of key components at the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ) for maximal reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The DEJ maintains skin cohesion and supports skin metabolic needs for a young and healthy look. As we age, at the cellular level, we experience a decrease in epidermal thickness, combined with a flattening of the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ) which decreases the amount of nutrients available to the epidermis thus interfering with the skin's natural repair process. This leads to a loss of elasticity, support and firmness, skin fragility and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The major components of the DEJ are:
- Laminin-5: Anchors the epidermis to the dermis for structural support
- Collagen VII: Anchors the dermis to the DEJ for mechanical stability
- Fibronectin: Anchors cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) for cell adhesion
Tetrapeptide-3 Solution™ stimulates production of Collagen VII, laminin-5, and fibronectin at the DEJ and activates natural skin repair.
