Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid injections that hydrate mainly by water attraction, Endopeel aims to restart intrinsic dermal hydration through microcirculatory improvement and protein conformation effects — delivering deep, natural, long-lasting moisturization without adding volume.
hydration that feels from within
works with Peeling de Luxe / Lipoic Acid
Diffuse dehydration (face, neck, décolleté, hands)
Dull, tired skin with loss of glow
Post-sun or seasonal dryness
Pre-event skin prep (no volume change desired)
Good candidates: patients seeking hydration and firmness without fillers.
Not suitable: active infection, inflamed dermatoses on site, known allergy to components, pregnancy/breastfeeding per physician judgment.
Assessment & mapping of dehydrated areas.
Endopeel injections using micro-aliquots along vectors; no volumizing intent.
Optional Peeling de Luxe / Lipoic Acid to potentiate moisturization.
Post-care: gentle cleansing, broad-spectrum photoprotection, avoid sauna for 24–48h.
Session time: ~20–35 min (area-dependent)
Social downtime: low to minimal
Onset: progressive over days
Longevity: typically long-lasting; maintenance individualized

improved dermal perfusion supports water & nutrient flux; contributes to NMF renewal and glycocalyx environment.
stabilization of protein conformations related to water binding; intercellular lipid ordering that may reduce TEWL; integration with pKa-driven behavior discussed on the Chemistry pages.
HA hydrates mainly via its hygroscopic matrix and adds space-occupying volume; Endopeel seeks bio-revitalizing hydration without gel bulk. Consider combining pathways rather than substituting in volume-loss cases.
Hydration within biological tissues depends on the thermodynamic balance between enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS), which together determine the Gibbs free energy (ΔG = ΔH – TΔS). A stable and long-lasting hydration requires a global ΔG that remains negative — meaning the process is energetically favorable and self-sustaining.
Hyaluronic acid acts mainly through enthalpy-dominated hydrogen bonding with water molecules. It traps water within a hydrogel matrix, forming a structured, low-entropy environment. When this gel network is degraded or diluted, the retained water is released and hydration quickly fades. In thermodynamic terms: ΔH < 0, ΔS < 0 → ΔG slightly negative but short-lived.
Endopeel does not create a physical matrix; instead, it modifies protein conformation, lipid fluidity, and microcirculatory thermodynamics, allowing tissues to reach a new dynamic equilibrium. This generates a system where entropy increases (ΔS > 0), and water molecules remain mobile yet functionally bound — a living, self-regulated hydration process.
For tissues to rejuvenate, a certain amount of available energy must exist, naturally arising from the esterification processes that later undergo hydrolysis.
These coupled reactions provide the energetic basis for tissue rejuvenation: energy is stored during esterification and released during hydrolysis, fueling molecular rearrangements in proteins and lipids that sustain hydration at the microscopic level.
In other words, Endopeel reactivates endogenous energy cycles that maintain hydration homeostasis rather than imposing a passive water reservoir. The tissue behaves as an open thermodynamic system capable of self-regulation through biochemical energy flow and entropy management.
| Mechanism | Dominant Factor | Thermodynamic Sign | Effect | Longevity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronic Acid | Enthalpic (H-bonds) | ΔH < 0, ΔS < 0 | Structured, static water | Short |
| Endopeel | Entropic + energy from esterification/hydrolysis | ΔH ≈ 0, ΔS > 0 → ΔG < 0 | Dynamic, energy-driven hydration | Long |
By restoring thermodynamic balance through microcirculatory activation and biochemical energy release, Endopeel promotes a living hydration — persistent, physiologic, and volume-independent. Endopeel hydrates by re-energizing tissue dynamics; hyaluronic acid hydrates by water storage.
