How deep can ALTUM® Peptides Penetrate the skin?

How deep can ALTUM® Peptides penetrate the skin?

Choose the most accurate answer:

a) Stratum Corneum

b) Epidermis

c) Subcutaneous Fat Layer

The answer is b) “Epidermis”

ALTUM® Peptides are designed to penetrate through the stratum corneum and reach the deepest part of the epidermis, right above the dermal layer.

The Challenge of Precise Skin Targeting

Precise delivery of active ingredients to specific depths in the skin is difficult to achieve.

• Topical skincare products cannot penetrate beyond the stratum corneum, the skin’s natural barrier.

• Traditional injection treatments struggle with depth control, often failing to target specific layers accurately, leading to inconsistent outcomes.

ALTUM®’s “Glassifier” Technology overcomes these limitations.

• ALTUM® spicules are precisely standardized in size and shape, measuring between 150–250 μm — comparable to the thickness of the human epidermis. This enables accurate targeting of the deeper epidermal layers

• Optimized to reach the ideal depth for peptide release — just past the barrier, near the dermal interface.

• Enables controlled, reproducible delivery of actives with minimal invasiveness.
