The Botox Alternative: Our handmade 5% Argireline Creams
Argireline ® is a unique new hexapeptide that both reduces the degree of existing facial wrinkles and has been demonstrated effective against their development. Controlled studies have also demonstrated that facial wrinkle depth can be reduced, especially in the forehead and around the eyes. Research shows a 17% reduction in the depth of fine lines and wrinkles after 15 days and 27% following 30 days of treatment. After 60 days of use, only a daily application is needed to maintain results.
The discovery of this hexapeptide (six naturally occurring amino acids in combination) was an exciting find, as Argireline ® has proven to inhibit two internal processes that strongly contribute to the formation of wrinkles. They are:
1) The SNARE complex, a natural formation of proteins in aging skin that stimulate neurotransmitters, provoking facial muscle contractions, thereby causing wrinkles and lines.
2) The overproduction and release of catecholamine-hormones, such as adrenaline, which affect the sympathetic nervous system and cause wrinkles through repetitive facial movements.
These are the reasons why our everyday expressions create those dreaded smile, forehead and eye wrinkles!
By inhibiting both the SNARE complex and overproduction of catecholamine, skin smoothes out and new lines are never formed.
Argireline's effect mimics that of Botox: When applied to the skin, Argireline relaxes facial tension leading to the reduction in facial lines and wrinkles with regular use.
While Botox is highly effective in reducing motion wrinkles, it is expensive, requires physician-administered injections, and occasionally leads to side effects, such as droopy eyelids. Our Argireline ® creams are topical, safe, non-toxic, can be used in the comfort of your home and are very affordable!
