Altum Spicule Peptide

Peptides and exosomes are gaining attention for their potential to improve skin health. A common challenge involves effectively delivering these compounds into the skin. Traditionally, microneedling has been used, which involves numerous small needles. A newer approach utilizes Altum Spicules, developed by the South Korean company Idenel. These spicules are derived from sponges and, when applied to the skin, create thousands of microscopic channels. This process allows peptides and exosomes to penetrate the skin without the need for needles. The spicules are naturally shed by the skin within a day, contributing to healthier-looking skin.
peptides: Short chains of amino acids that serve as building blocks for essential skin proteins like collagen and elastin, helping to maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
exosomes: Tiny extracellular vesicles released by cells that carry proteins, lipids, and genetic material to facilitate cellular communication and skin rejuvenation.
microneedling: A minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving product absorption.
