For several decades, Botox has been the most effective method of rejuvenation. It is also called “beauty injections”. This procedure quickly smoothes out facial wrinkles. But not all women decide to do it. An alternative to painful injections can be modern cosmetics with the Botox effect. To take advantage of their benefits, you need to understand how they work and what should be in the composition.
Compound
One tablet of Qi-Klim contains 0.02 grams of dry cohosh extract. Additional substances: potato starch, MCC, calcium stearate, hypromellose, silicon dioxide, macrogol-400, titanium dioxide, red dye iron oxide, polysorbate 80, brown dye iron oxide.
The composition of Qi-Klim (face cream) includes: soybean oil, water, lipoderm, liposentol multi, glycerin, hyaluronic acid , black cohosh and wild yam extract , euxyl K300, d-panthenol, magnesium orotate, allantoin , emulsifier, ethyl alcohol , triethanolamine, carbopol, aromatic composition.
What is the effect of Botox
During this procedure, botulinum toxin is injected under the skin. It blocks nerve impulses reaching the facial muscles and paralyzes them. As a result, facial wrinkles are smoothed out. The effect of the procedure appears after 1-2 weeks. The face looks toned, fresh, rejuvenated. This result lasts up to six months.
But there are many contraindications for Botox injections, so they are recommended for healthy women to slow down age-related changes. If the procedure is carried out incorrectly, there may be negative consequences:
- allergic reactions;
- drooping eyelid, ptosis;
- weakening of skin tone;
- the face turns into a lifeless mask.
Recently, other substances with the same effect have been discovered. The effect of Botox is the relaxation of facial muscles, leading to the smoothing of wrinkles. As part of the cream, such substances penetrate into the muscles slowly. Therefore, the effect does not occur immediately. It will not affect deep age wrinkles, nasolabial folds, or sagging skin. But such cosmetics have many advantages over Botox injections:
- has almost no contraindications, except for individual intolerance;
- there is no risk of infection and inflammation;
- no side effects;
- natural composition;
- ease of use;
- cumulative effect;
- can be used for the area around the eyes;
- additional caring properties.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The drug has an estrogen-like effect, demonstrates sedative properties, and has a positive therapeutic effect on the autonomic nervous system.
Reduces the concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone , increases the level of estradiol , which causes relief of early stages of menopausal disorders (vegetative-vascular and psycho-emotional changes) and late menopausal disorders arising from a decrease in estrogen concentrations.
Increases daily diuresis , enhances the secretion of glands of the digestive system, relaxes the walls of the urinary tract and intestines, and also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects.
The therapeutic effect of the drug develops slowly and appears after approximately 2–4 weeks of therapy.
Qi-Klim face cream provides anti-aging active skin care, activating the production of elastin and collagen , normalizing firmness and elasticity, eliminating pigmentation and dryness.
How does cosmetics with Botox effect work?
Such products contain botulinum-like substances that have the ability to relax facial muscles. They work almost the same way as Botox injections, only slower. Results from using the cream can be expected no earlier than 1.5-2 months.
These products are especially effective on the first expression lines. Elena Eliseeva, a Vichy medical expert, advises how to distinguish them from age-related wrinkles: if they smooth out after a full night’s sleep, these are expression wrinkles.
What should be included
Such products do not contain botulinum toxin; this substance does not penetrate the upper layer of the epidermis and quickly disintegrates. Some peptides have this effect, which can also relax muscles. They penetrate fibroblasts, exerting a muscle relaxant effect.
- Argareline. The result is an effect similar to Botox. You need to look for the names Argireline, Acetyl hexapeptide or hexapeptide in the cream.
- Another effective peptide, matrixyl or Matrixyl, activates collagen synthesis. It fills wrinkles, reducing their severity. In the composition of cosmetic products it may be indicated as Palmitoyl pentapeptide.
- Synthetic peptide similar to Syn-Ake viper venom. It paralyzes the muscles.
- Adenosine is the source of cell energy. When it enters the tissue, the muscles relax.
- There are several plants that contain peptides similar to botulinum toxin. These are hibiscus seeds, ginger extracts, anise.
To enhance the effect, such cosmetics should contain moisturizing components, herbal extracts, and vegetable oils. Then the cream will have a comprehensive effect.
