Learn More About Argireline for Anti-Aging

by Dr. Farid Mostamand Everyone has heard of anti-wrinkle creams and the important of using them to counteract the advance of aging - especially on our face where aging shows its signs very early with fine lines sprouting up especially around the eyes and mouth. One of the ingredients that is often touted as a "must have" in an anti-wrinkle cream is argireline. But what is argireline and why is it so important? Technically speaking argireline, also known as acetyl hexapeptide-3, is a group of amino acids or peptides that become attached to acetic acid. Researchers believe that Argireline works with the brain to keep the facial muscles from tensing so that tension is relaxed in the musculature of the face. The result is a reduction in line and wrinkles that contribute to aging. An anti-aging cream that contains argireline provides a similar effect to Botox which is amazing considering that Botox can only be injected in a limited area of the face while anti-aging creams with argireline can be used anywhere that wrinkles appear. This is a huge advancement in anti-aging creams as it is less expensive than Botox plus it is much easier to administer. The FDA does not regulate anti-wrinkle creams The ability to utilize anti-wrinkle creams that contain argireline is an exciting step forward for anti-aging products as the FDA does not regulate anti-wrinkle creams because it classifies them as cosmetics. But it does regulate Botox injections. This makes anti-aging creams much more accessible to the average consumer as it will not be as costly to purchase an anti-wrinkle cream with argireline than it would be to have injections of Botox. Also these anti-aging creams are available in numerous department stores, drug stores or online rather than having to go to a physician or skin care professional for the injections. Why are anti-wrinkle creams so popular? The pressure to be beautiful and to retain your youthful good looks is constantly hyped by Hollywood and the media. Every advertisement, television show or teenage idol is impossibly gorgeous with flawless skin. It is difficult for the average person to be able to keep up with that - but many people try to anyway. Aging skin that has wrinkles starting to appear affect your self-esteem and your self-image. Everyone wants to hold on to that Ivory Soap look of yesteryear so there are thousands of products out there trying to help everyone retain that myth. Do anti-aging creams work? Like anything else, you cannot expect miracles to happen overnight except in the movies, but there are many products that do help to reduce the visible signs of aging like those wrinkles, crow's feet and fine lines that pop up all over our faces. There are thousands of anti-wrinkle creams on the market and some work better than others. One of the important things to remember is that everyone's skin is different so what will work for one person might not necessary work for another. Some people have more severe visible signs of aging beyond wrinkles that include brown spots and other aging from the sun and environmental damage. This will make it harder to relieve those visible signs, but many will reduce them considerably.
