Botox face and its alternatives
Smooth, toned, and polished skin… which skincare lover doesn't dream of this? The most well-known means to achieve this result, at least in general terms, is Botox. However, are there any alternative solutions that are equally effective? In this article, we will try to answer this question.
Botox: what is it?
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is widely used in aesthetic medicine to visibly improve the appearance of the skin. It is generally administered through small and localized injections that significantly reduce the visibility of wrinkles and expression lines. This result is possible due to a temporary reduction in the contractions of the facial muscles.
The benefits brought by the toxin are generally visible after a couple of days, and one can enjoy the result for a period ranging from four to eight months following the injection. Therefore, periodic injections are necessary to maintain the result over time.
Despite the beautiful premises related to the use of botox, there are also some side effects that could be caused by it. Among these, we find stomach pain, pain in the localized injection area, headaches, and flu-like symptoms.
Due to these symptoms or generally due to reluctance to resort to this type of treatment, it is legitimate to ask whether there are alternative solutions to the one just presented.
Esapeptide 8: the alternative for skincare
An ingredient still little known to the general public but extremely miraculous is hexapeptide 8. It is an ingredient that behaves just like botulinum but, unlike the latter, does not require an injection to work. Its activity visibly reduces fine lines around the eyes, on the forehead, and on the cheeks, restoring a rested and smooth appearance.
In summary, it is a safe ingredient, which for this reason can be used versatilely in serums and creams.
An example of effective use of the ingredient hexapeptide 8 in a lightweight formula that can be used every morning is our DAY BIOME.
"Inside, the presence of hexapeptide 8 combined with other important ingredients such as vitamin E, restores a toned, plumped skin free from free radicals that can cause premature skin aging."
Skincare: the anti-age secret
"And if the house only had creams that do not contain hexapeptide 8 and I did not want to resort to Botox?"
There is one last secret easily adoptable by everyone, using only what you already have at home: keep your skin hydrated.
Hydration is indeed the only true resource that allows the skin to remain youthful for a long time. Soft and elastic skin will indeed be much less marked by the passage of time and repeated facial contractions, and will always return "to its place" without signs of sagging.
Conclusions: what to choose?
"We have seen the possible alternatives to Botox, but nothing prevents you from resorting to this technique to achieve an immediate super result."
If you prefer to resort to more "natural" remedies, we recommend trying a cream or serum that contains the powerful hexapeptide 8. Finally, if you prefer to finish the products you already have at home, you can continue to use your day cream, remembering to be consistent to ensure your skin receives the optimal level of hydration and thus achieve elastic and always youthful skin as we saw in the previous paragraph.
