Botox Without the Needles: Meet Your New Favorite Tri-Peptide Anti-Aging Serum
Most of our patients come to us hoping to find the most confident version of themselves. While weight loss can certainly help us feel more comfortable in our skin, there are other factors that may contribute to our overall feeling of confidence and well being.
Perhaps the biggest area of insecurity for many people is the fine lines and wrinkles that begin to appear on our faces as we age. There are many invasive procedures that can help to alleviate the signs of aging, but what if we told you there was a way to achieve smooth, plump skin without the botox?
Look and feel your best!
Enter the latest developments in anti-aging skincare. Maybe you’ve heard of this tri-peptide powerhouse containing GHK-Cu, Argireline, and Leuphasyl, three ingredients that work together to mimic the effects of botox without the needles.
These three ingredients improve skin elasticity, tighten, smooth, and reverse thinning, fine lines, and wrinkles in our skin. Available by prescription, this serum was shown in lab studies to increase collagen by 70%, reduce fine lines by 27%, and relax the muscles just like botox.
Let’s break down the science behind each of these three ingredients:
What’s in the serum?
GHK-cu
GHK-Cu is a copper binding tri-peptide that occurs in human blood plasma. A powerful tool for cellular repair, the body releases GHK-Cu when we are injured.
This peptide is found at high levels when we are young but can decline from 200 ng/ml at age 20 to 80 ng/ml by age 60. Because of the naturally declining levels in our bodies as we age, dermatologists recommend a topical version to improve skin.
GHK-Cu is scientifically proven to increase collagen and elastin, stimulate blood vessel and nerve growth, and has cell protective anti inflammatory actions.
Argireline
Argireline is a short chain peptide that has similar properties to botulinum toxin, otherwise known as botox. It works by inhibiting “neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction,” or put simply, it relaxes the muscles in the same way that botox injections do. Unlike botox, Argireline is applied topically as opposed to under skin injections.
By relaxing the muscles of the face, Argireline prevents and reduces the formation of expressive fine lines and wrinkles.
Leuphasyl
Leuphasyl is a very similar peptide to Argireline and works to relax the muscles to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Research shows that these peptides are so effective at anti aging because they are such small molecules that are easily absorbed by our skin cells which already have built in receptors for them. Their specific actions within the skin cells makes them perfect for topical use to target specific skin concerns like signs of aging.
How to use it
The active ingredients in this serum yield the best results at a prescription strength concentration. The serum can be used daily but it may take sensitive skin time to adjust.
