Mechanism of Action

Leuphasyl is a pentapeptide that mimics the mechanism of enkephalins at the presynaptic membrane of neuromuscular junctions. By binding to the enkephalin receptor on nerve cells, it inhibits neuronal activity, reducing the release of catecholamines and acetylcholine. This decreases muscle contraction intensity around expression lines, providing a 'Botox-like' wrinkle relaxation effect. It shows synergistic effects when combined with Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3), enhancing anti-wrinkle activity up to an additional 25%.
