Professional Topical use

BCN Mimik-Peptides is a sterile cosmetic for professional topical use, formulated for aesthetic protocols aimed at softening the appearance of expression lines and improving the overall look of the skin. Its formula combines three next-generation peptides with a neurocosmetic approach for integration into professional treatments targeting dynamic wrinkles, repeated facial micro-contractions and visible signs of skin ageing.

What BCN Mimik-Peptides is

It is an advanced solution from the Institute BCN BCN Advanced line, supplied in 3 ml sterile vials. It is designed for integration into professional cosmetic protocols focused on skin with visible expression lines, dynamic wrinkles and signs of ageing associated with repeated contraction of the facial muscles.

Professional cosmetic indication

Indicated for professional cosmetic protocols aimed at improving the appearance of expression lines and dynamic wrinkles in areas such as the forehead, glabellar area, eye contour, upper lip, chin, facial folds and neck. It can be integrated into anti-ageing aesthetic treatments focused on skin with a more rested, even and smooth appearance.

Overall cosmetic action

The manufacturer’s technical documentation presents BCN Mimik-Peptides as a formula based on three peptides with a neurocosmetic approach. Its cosmetic objective is to help visually soften repeated facial micro-contractions, improve the appearance of expression wrinkles and reinforce the overall aesthetic quality of the skin at different levels.

Extended technical information

BCN Mimik-Peptides is formulated as a professional cosmetic solution to address the appearance of expression wrinkles through an advanced approach. The manufacturer’s technical documentation describes a strategy based on three peptides with cosmetic activity inspired by the modulation of facial contraction and the visible improvement of skin quality.

The formula is especially focused on areas where repeated facial expressions encourage the appearance of visible lines, such as the forehead, glabellar area, eye contour, upper lip, chin, nasolabial folds and neck. In this context, BCN Mimik-Peptides is integrated into professional treatment room protocols aimed at achieving skin that appears smoother, less fatigued and visually more even.

The manufacturer’s documentation also indicates that the efficacy of the formula extends to different levels of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, adipose tissue and muscle tissue, within a cosmetic approach aimed at improving the visible functionality of tissues and the overall appearance of younger-looking skin.

Main peptides in the formula

Pentapeptide-18

A 5-amino-acid sequence described by the manufacturer as a modified enkephalin that mimics the natural pathway of enkephalins, endogenous opioids that inhibit neuronal activity. Its action takes place at presynaptic level, helping to reduce neuronal excitability by intervening in the release of acetylcholine. The technical documentation also highlights its compatibility with other anti-wrinkle peptides, especially Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, providing an additive and synergistic effect.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

A 6-amino-acid peptide presented as an evolved version of Argireline. The manufacturer describes a presynaptic action based on safe interference with the SNARE complex by competing with SNAP-25, preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and thereby softening muscle contraction. It is also attributed with postsynaptic activity, which contributes to smoother facial contraction and faster relaxation, maintaining more natural expressions while minimising visible wrinkles.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-1

A botulinum toxin-like peptide, developed in collaboration with neuroscience experts to act on expression lines associated with repeated muscle micro-contractions. According to the technical documentation, it is capable of acting on both the presynaptic and postsynaptic pathways of muscle contraction. At presynaptic level, it competes with Munc-18 for its position on syntaxin, making assembly of the SNARE complex and the release of acetylcholine more difficult. At postsynaptic level, it modulates the clustering of acetylcholine receptors, depolarisation, calcium mobilisation and the formation of cross-bridges in actomyosin, contributing to a softening of muscle contraction. The manufacturer also attributes in vitro efficacy to it as a collagen I booster.

Pre- and postsynaptic cosmetic action

The manufacturer’s documentation describes BCN Mimik-Peptides as a formula that acts through the synergistic and additive action of its three peptides. At presynaptic level, the strategy is aimed at preventing the presence of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the synaptic space by blocking its transport at different points. At postsynaptic level, two of the peptides help make facial muscle contraction smoother and subsequent relaxation faster.

Expected cosmetic results

• Visual softening of fine lines and expression wrinkles.
• Reduced visibility of dynamic wrinkles for a shorter time after facial movement.
• Improved overall skin appearance in expressive areas.
• Skin with a more rested, even and radiant appearance.
• Improved cosmetic perception of firmness, elasticity and facial volume.
• Visible tightening effect and improved skin surface.
• Improved skin isotropy and reduced visible skin fatigue.

Common treatment room application areas

• Forehead
• Glabellar area
• Eye contour
• Upper lip
• Chin
• Nasolabial folds
• Neck and visible bands

Treatment room applications

• Professional cosmetic protocols for expression lines.
• Anti-ageing facial treatments targeting dynamic wrinkles.
• Professional treatment room routines for skin with visible signs of expression-related fatigue.
• Professional neurocosmetic and cosmetic facial rejuvenation programmes.
• Complementary treatments between highly specialised professional protocols, according to professional judgement.

Cosmetic approach to facial contraction and visible ageing

The manufacturer’s technical documentation explains that expression wrinkles are associated with the passage of time, the repetition of facial movements and biochemical, histological and physiological changes aggravated by environmental and mechanical factors. It also states that excessive stimulation of facial muscle fibres and a slower return to the resting state contribute to wrinkles becoming more visible and remaining for longer.

The manufacturer positions BCN Mimik-Peptides as a topical cosmetic alternative aimed at providing a safe and effective approach to visually minimising expression wrinkles and preventing their progressive deepening, while maintaining a more natural facial expression within a professional cosmetic protocol.
