About FGF-1
Binds all four FGFR subtypes (broadest binding of FGF family). Activates MAPK and PI3K downstream pathways. Promotes fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, and hair follicle cycling into anagen phase.
A member of the fibroblast growth factor family that promotes cell growth, tissue repair, and angiogenesis across multiple cell types. Studied for wound healing, hair follicle stimulation, and skin rejuvenation.

About Leuphasyl
Tetrapeptide that mimics enkephalin to modulate facial muscle contraction; competes with enkephalin for opioid receptor sites in neuromuscular junctions; reduces repetitive muscle micro-contractions
A neuromodulating peptide that reduces expression lines via the enkephalin pathway, distinct from SNARE-inhibiting peptides (Argireline, SNAP-8). Complements those actives through a different mechanism.
