| Although Botox ® is highly effective in reducing expression lines, it is expensive and requires physician-administered injections. Therefore, researchers spent years to develop alternative compounds that display the effect of Botox® at a lower cost. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (trade name Argireline) is one of most promising new Botox ® alternatives. |

Using Clostridium Botulinum bacterium to block the transmission of nerve impulses, Botox® erases line by temporarily paralyzing muscle contraction. It is fast, easy and effective. The result can last up to 6 months. The biggest disadvantage is that if administering Botox® to the wrong nerve ends, or the patient didn't follow the post injection care instruction, facial movements might be compromised, causing temporary unnatural expression.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 works by intercepting the signal of muscle contraction. It relaxes facial tension, leading to the reduction in facial lines and wrinkles with regular use. This mimics the effect of Botox ®, which reduces facial tension and movement by paralyzing facial muscles.
Comparing those two choices, although Botox® is a faster alternative, the cost is higher and its potential side effects might be inhibiting factors for some. Even though Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 cannot erase wrinkles completely, clinical study shows that Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 at a 10% concentration reduces the depth of wrinkles up to 30% after 30 days of use. Best of all, it has no side effects! If you are looking for a solution for expression lines but have only a moderate budget, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is an affordable alternative to treat your wrinkles.
