Nithya Smooth's Argireline acts on neuromuscular synapses, relieving tension in the muscle and thus creating a relaxation of the dermal state that reduces fine lines for smoother skin.
During facial aging, the skin matrix becomes disorganized, leading to collagen reduction and elastin breakdown, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity.
Argireline reduces muscle contraction by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at the synapse and promoting skin relaxation to prevent the formation of lines and wrinkles.
Used in combination to reduce BoNT toxicity in later treatment phases.
It is a unique peptide, a chain of six amino acids, that reduces the appearance of existing facial wrinkles and is a non-toxic, safe, and gentler alternative to botulinum toxin, targeting the same mechanism of wrinkle formation but in a different way.
Additionally, it stimulates collagen production, which helps keep the skin smooth and wrinkle-free, improves the skin's moisture content, and gives it a plumper appearance.
About 30 facial muscles make around 15,000 movements per day, leading to wrinkles or expression lines. Deep skin wrinkles below the skin surface become more persistent over time as the elastin fibers in the skin are further broken down.
