On a recent episode of Dr. Oz, he talked about using an argireline-based wrinkle cream to get rid of those lines and wrinkles.
Argireline is considered to have the same effects as Botox, in a topical cream form. Of course, using a topical cream instead of getting Botox injections will take longer to work, and may not have the exact same results as getting injections. If you use an argireline cream, you have to use it daily for at least 30 days to begin to see results, although you may notice an improvement in the look of your skin in as little as a couple of
weeks.
To define argireline, it is a peptide, which is actually derived from the same strain of synthetic materials used to make Botox. The official name for argireline is Acetyl hexapeptide-3.
It has been shown to have the same effects as Botox on the skin by reducing the ability of muscles in the face to contract. The peptide goes to work on expression areas, such as the eyes and forehead. By limiting the muscle movement in the face, it decreases the formation of wrinkles forming in these areas due to repetitive movements of the face, such as smiling and frowning.
For those of you who have thought about using Botox to ramp up the look of smoother-looking skin, this may be a perfect alternative for you. Studies of the peptide have shown it to be safe and effective, but again, will take a few weeks to kick in and show results. Of course, it is less expensive than Botox injections.
If you are looking for a non-invasive form of treatment for your wrinkles, consider the use of a wrinkle cream containing argireline. Acetyl hexapeptide-3 (marketed as argireline) is usually mixed with other
anti-wrinkle ingredients in cream form.
Because argireline is derived of natural proteins, it can help re-build the proteins in skin. Therefore, creams containing argireline can also help improve the texture and clarity of skin with long-term use.
What is argireline in terms of a good tool for decreasing fine lines and wrinkles? It is a less expensive, less invasive alternative to achieving some of the same effects as Botox for your skin.
This may be your answer to stopping those fine lines and wrinkles, with even better results over time.
