What is Argireline?

In today’s world no aging man or woman doesn’t want to get rid of those unsightly worry-lines; those deep frown lines between the eyes and the horizontal forehead “highways” that develop over time. Until recently, there was no other effective alternative other than Botox injections..

But now, after research and clinical testing, there is a topical product, which can be found in many of the newer high-end creams. It works along the same principles as Botox, but without the sting of the needle, the bruising, the office visit, the cost and the anxiety that accompanies an injection.

Argireline, which is the trademark name for Acetyl Hexapeptide is one of the newer exciting breakthroughs among anti-aging active ingredients. Hexapeptide means six amino acids, in common every day non-scientific language. It is a serum solution comprised of six different amino acids which, when combined at a sufficient level of concentration, improve the appearance of aging skin by minimizing those unwanted visible reminders of the aging face; the wrinkle.

How does it work? Argireline reduces the deep wrinkles that occur around the forehead and eyes by inhibiting the reactions that cause muscles to contract or tense. This solution doesn’t allow the release of neurotransmitters, that are sent by the brain, to command the face muscles to tense up. It has been clinically tested to relax tension within the skin tissue and seems to have similar functional properties to that of Botox. The brain sends the message, but it is not converted into facial tension because the topical solution relaxes the skin tissue and muscles where it is applied. The continued use of this product over time, improves the results, due to consistent daily application.
