Acetyl hexapeptide-38 

Acetyl hexapeptide-38 is a tissue repair promoter that targets fibroblasts in the dermis of the skin. It works by promoting collagen synthesis in the dermis and thickening of subcutaneous fat. Acetyl hexapeptide-38 can activate the skin repair mechanism, increase the collagen content in the dermis, improve the skin tissue structure, and has the activity of promoting local tissue repair. Acetyl hexapeptide-38 can be used in the field of cosmetic medicine to repair congenital soft tissue defects, reduce tear grooves and nasolabial folds, eliminate postoperative scars, and conduct micro-plastic surgery of skin tissue^[1].

Acetyl hexapeptide-38 (AH-38) injection increases the collagen content in the dermis and promotes tissue repair[1].
