For contour remodelling.

SYN®-HYCAN is a synthetic tri-peptide, supplied in glycerin & water, to fight skin sagging by boosting hyaluronan (HA).

Aging skin loses firmness over time due to decreasing levels of hyaluronan (HA) in the skin and loss of collagen fibre strength. SYN®-HYCAN helps to fight skin sagging by boosting HA production and improving collagen fibrillogenesis.  The action can be summarized as:

  • Firming and remodelling effect by stimulation of GAG biosynthesis
  • Needle-free Hyaluronan booster
  • Increases Decorin and Lumican levels for stronger collagen fibers

Instrumental and in-vivo panel study results demonstrate that SYN®-HYCAN significantly increases tension, tonicity and firmness of the skin compared to placebo.

Some suggested applications:

Firming body treatments, Bust firming, Face contouring, Anti-cellulite, & Lip volumizing.
