The End Of Botox?
Undoubtedly, Botox is the most talked about anti aging treatment for wrinkles and rightfully so. The instantaneous effects of Botox are undeniable. That is the true selling point of the treatment...it works fast. Once Botox was cleared by the Food And Drug Administration, women and men looking for a quick fix to their aging skin concerns flocked to doctors and dermatologists in droves.
Shockingly, a miniscule number of treatment receipients knew that Botox was derived from a bacterium that causes botulism, a type of food poisoning. Botulism is extremely dangerous and can result in paralysis and in some cases, death if it goes untreated. Botox is a diluted but purified version of the botulism toxin.
Yes, Botox is fast but has its drawbacks which are noted below:
Botox is completely ineffective against sun damage (the #1 cause of premature aging), fine lines, rough skin, or even acne scars.
Regular injections actually thin the skin causing skin problems.
The effects of botox injections wears off within 3 to 6 months requiring constant and costly maintenance because your wrinkles are ONLY being treated externally.
And lastly, the skin adjacent to where a patient receives botox injections may become wrinkled.
The New Kid On The Block
One of the latest breakthroughs in anti aging skin care science is a compound called Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. Unlike the muscle paralyzing effects of Botox injections, this wrinkle eraser, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, merely blocks the nerve signals that control facial muscle contractions. This impediment significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet, and other common aging concerns.
The Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 ingredient can be found in higher end anti aging skin care products. Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is not cheap to produce therefore in most creams it will be the primary active ingredient. But, there is a cream for wrinkles that not only contains the wrinkle erasing ingredient but 5 equally potent anti aging ingredients. It's called LifeCell by South Beach Skincare. some may consider it pricey, but the results are undeniable.
