Snap-8
Botox-like peptide for expression lines
Everything You Need to Know
Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) works similarly to Botox but through a different mechanism. Instead of blocking nerve signals completely, it reduces the intensity of muscle contractions.
Snap-8 vs Botox:
Best for: Forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines between eyebrows.
Dosing: Typically used topically in serums (3-10% concentration) or injected at 50-100mcg.
Key Benefits
- Reduces expression lines and wrinkles
- Milder alternative to Botox
- Can be used topically or injected
- Cumulative effects with regular use
Ideal For

How It Works
Snap-8 inhibits the SNARE complex formation needed for muscle contraction, reducing the intensity of facial expressions that cause wrinkles.
