Topical muscle relaxant: are there instant anti-wrinkle products?

Recently, the increased interest of patients in cosmetic express procedures makes doctors think about products that work with maximum efficiency and safety, and at the same time are able to show a quick rejuvenating result. One of these agents was the topical muscle relaxant UVENOX AP2™, which works on the principle of operation of the "mesobotulinum toxin" injection procedure, while demonstrating the expected result already 30 minutes after application and has many more additional effects that estet-portal.com learned about.

How UVENOX AP2™topical muscle relaxant works

The task of a topical muscle relaxant is to correct mimic wrinkles when applied to the surface of the skin – smooth out small ones and reduce the appearance of deep ones. In order to solve this problem, the substance must have the properties of botulinum toxin – lead to partial or complete blockade of impulses that enter the muscle fibers from the nerve endings. Because of these impulses, the muscle contracts or comes into tone – on the face, these phenomena are reflected by the collected folds or deepened creases. The bioactive substance of a topical muscle relaxant is usually special blocking peptides that can have a paralytic effect on the mimic muscles, but their action is softer and more natural than that of botulinum toxins. Practitioners often use such remedies when working with patients who, for whatever reason, cannot or do not want to use botulinum toxin injections, and get a good effect that patients are satisfied with. One of such topical muscle relaxants, which cosmetologists and their patients use with pleasure, is the professional anti-wrinkle agent UVENOX AP2™.

UVENOX AP2™ is based on an advanced innovative formula that combines the active properties of peptides, neurotransmitters and plant extracts.

The main difference between topical muscle relaxant UVENOX AP2™ from injectable botulinum toxin preparations lies in the cumulative effect – with daily use of the product, the achieved cosmetic results do not weaken and can be maintained at the desired level for a long time.

UVENOX AP2™ topical muscle relaxant has practically no contraindications for use, allows you to achieve the most natural facial expressions while relaxing muscles and at the same time, having no restrictions in indications for use.

What ingredients determine the bioactivity of topical muscle relaxant UVENOX AP2™

UVENOX AP2™ includes 4 ingredients – natural extracts and peptides, the effect of which on facial muscles and on the skin has been clinically confirmed.

• Hexapeptide-8. This substance is a chain of amino acids, very similar in structure to one of the membrane proteins, which responds to the release of neurotransmitters by the cell and the transmission of impulses to muscle fibers. Once in the body, hexapeptide-8 is integrated into the cell membrane instead of protein, due to its similarity with it. As a result, the release of neurotransmitters becomes impossible, the muscle does not receive a signal to contract and remains relaxed.
• Polypeptide-1. This is one of the first polypeptides that was used in cosmetology, as its ability to stimulate the synthesis of certain growth factors was proven – epidermal and transforming. As part of UVENOX AP2™ this polypeptide is responsible for the renewal of fibroblasts, starting the production of elastin and collagen fibers, glycosaminoglycans.
• Akmella extract. Contains chemical compounds from the class of alkylamides, which have an analgesic effect and a partially paralyzing effect on the muscles of the face 30 minutes after application. Keeps a slight paralysis of muscle contractions for 24 hours, has a cumulative effect.
• γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) biotransformed. This is the main neurotransmitter responsible for the processes of central inhibition of nerve impulses. UVENOX AP2™ includes biotransformed GABA+, which quickly relieves muscle arousal and has a calming effect.

The peculiarity of the topical form of GABA+ is that its molecules are activated immediately when applied to the skin, giving a smoothing effect of fine wrinkles in a few minutes.

What results can be achieved by using UVENOX AP2™

UVENOX AP2™ in that it takes into account the synergy of the combination of all components – each of them comes into action at different times, one after another, reinforcing and enhancing the mutual effect on the skin.

So, GABA+ bioactive substances begin to smooth fine wrinkles on the skin just a few minutes after application. After 30 minutes, the active components of the akmella extract enter, reaching their peak after 6 hours. At the same time, the patient can observe the alignment of the skin microrelief, a decrease in the severity of "crow's feet"; and small wrinkles in the area of ​​the medial angle of the eye, as well as wrinkles in the perioral zone and the anterior surface of the neck.

The effect lasts for 24 hours, but if you apply UVENOX AP2™ every day, then the cumulative effect is triggered, and the patient receives a stable long-term result of smoothing the wrinkles of the face and neck.

After 28 days after the start of daily use of UVENOX AP2™, a clinically proven improvement in skin quality occurs – it becomes more dense and elastic, its hydration increases, the severity of dynamic wrinkles is significantly reduced and fine static wrinkles almost disappear. At the same time, facial expressions remain natural, and the restored extracellular matrix contributes to a more prolonged action from the use of the agent.
