Wrinkles that occur in facial skin have a lot of causes. They are just a part of aging in most cases. Skin that loses fat, elastin and collagen can also be a result of over exposure to the sun or repetitive facial gestures. Also, the skin will lose its ability to seal in moisture and the result of this is dry, shriveled looking skin because of dead skin cells.

Underlying facial muscles can be forced to lay in a position they have been trained to over time and cause smile lines, frown lines, eyebrow lines and forehead lines. Crow’s feet lines may also start to appear.

The aim of anti aging creams is to prevent lines and crinkle from appearing. The aim of anti wrinkle creams is to retrain skin to seal in moisture and the skin muscles to relax all of the positions they have formed over many years. There are strategies to ‘rebuild skin structure’ or ‘remodel skin cells’ that many people know about. To do this, it usually means the use of peptides. Peptides heal wounds very much like the way a burn victim will have their skin remodeled to encourage the skin to grow again.

Peptides is often used with facial and skin muscle regrowth or retraining a sort of muscle relaxer. Peptides work on a deeper level than topical cream solutions. Argireline is the trade name for Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, which is a peptide. It is also a synthetic anti-aging chemical created from natural proteins, that can be used to stimulate muscle relaxation as well as reflex reactions. It’s a way to treat the underlying cause of a wrinkles that show up in a certain position over time.

Argireline is very successful at reducing muscle relaxations over time. Improvement begin at the 4 weeks period, with the effect double over 27 weeks. However, just like all other anti wrinkle cream and anti aging creams, once you stop using the product the wrinkle begin to reappear again.

Argireline treats the underlying muscles against normal treatment of the surface skin cells. This makes it a lot like a topical form of what Botox does. The cessation of the facial muscle contractions is a short-term solution, even with Botox. Makers of Argireline use less than a 10% ingredient content as a higher level could have side effects, like relaxing the facial muscles too much and creating sagging. While Argireline has not been on the market for long time, long-term effects have not been measured. It is an effective ingredient in topical anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams and is sold in many formulation.
