Snap-8 Dosing Protocol: Anti-Wrinkle Peptide Guide
Also known as: Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-3, Anti-wrinkle peptide
What is a Peptide?
A short chain of amino acids (2-50) linked by peptide bonds. Smaller than proteins. Your body produces thousands of peptides naturally as signaling molecules that regulate everything from appetite to healing. Therapeutic peptides mimic or enhance these natural signals.

- Competes with SNAP-25 for SNARE complex binding
- Reduces acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junction
- Inhibits muscle contraction reducing wrinkle depth
- Milder effect than botulinum toxin
