Argireline® | Anti Wrinkle Agents and Botox® Alternatives
Argireline® is a powerful anti-wrinkle hexapeptide with a Botulinum Toxin-inspired activity. It has become one of the most sought after anti-aging agents on the market. It reduces the depth of expression wrinkles, especially in the forehead and around the eyes. It is a safer, cheaper, and milder alternative to Botulinum Toxin, topically targeting the same wrinkle-formation mechanism in a very different way. Argireline® is effective active agent in our Anti Wrinkle 55 serum along with other top ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera Leaf Juice.
The application of Argireline® is simple. As a topical alternative for the Botulinum Toxin (which is injected via a needle), Argireline® is a mimic of the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 which competes with the SNARE complex, thereby modulating its formation. If the SNARE complex is slightly destabilized, the vesicle cannot dock and release neurotransmitters efficiently and therefore muscle contraction is attenuated, preventing the formation of lines and wrinles. With the Botulinum Toxin - Botox® - , it is injected directly into a specific muscle to stop contraction. This procedure was initially performed to stop problems such as permanently crossed eyes or spastic blinking. If they could stop specific muscle (responsible for the eye crossing/blinking) from contractions, the eye would not cross/blink. A positive side-effect from such procedures was the observation that fine wrinkles were disappearing.
Today, Argireline® offers a non-invasive technique to achieve similar results. Argireline® (Acetyl Hexapetide-8) – used in anti-aging products such Nourish’s Anti Wrinkle 55 - is applied to the eyes, forehead and to other areas of the face. It works by interrupting neurotransmission that tells the muscles to contract. If the muscles don’t contract, wrinkles are not formed. It’s just that simple – and safe.
For maximum results, we recommend use of our Microderm Abrasion Cream (once a week) and follow with our Peptide (Matrixyl) Cream for Caollogen development..
