Argireline is a needle-free, topical peptide, that is known for its wrinkle-eliminating effects that work similarly to the popular Botox injection.
What is Argireline?
Argireline is the brand name of Acetyl Hexapeptide, which is a molecule of a short chain of amino acids. When applied topically, it can reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines. This product can increase collagen production and reduce the depth of wrinkles.
How does it work?
Working similar to Botox Cosmetic, Argireline produces anti-aging and youthful skin. But unlike Botox, it is a pain- and needle-free product. This anti-aging effect is thought to be caused by the interference of catecholamine release. Catecholamine is a neurotransmitter. Also, it is considered to work by stimulating the production of type 1 collagen. Whatever the chemical reaction may be, Argireline is known to reduce wrinkles and provide plump, hydrated skin.
Are Argireline and Botox the same?
Although they have a lot in common, Argireline and Botox are not exactly the same. Both of these products interfere with neurotransmitters, which causes a reduction in muscle movement in parts of the face that are prone to wrinkles. While Botox is directly injected, it delivers faster results, but Argireline can make a long-term difference in your skin. The faster results that come with Botox, typically only last a few months. Rather, Argireline might not show results as quickly, but a consistent application can have a longer lasting effect. Sometimes, long-term continuous use of Botox can weaken facial muscles and cause unwanted results, but Argireline has no known side effects associated with long-term use.
How to add this serum into your routine?
Integrate this serum into your skincare routine, by dropping the serum onto your face and neck twice a day before you moisturize. At the beginning of treatment, watch to see whether your skin responds, as irritation may occur. Keep up with this routine consistently, and best results will begin to show in a month. Pro tip: Take a picture weekly, same place and lighting, and watch your skin transform. With no needles required, Argireline will reduce fine lines and wrinkles and reveal smooth and radiant skin.
