Botox Alternatives

Getting wrinkles is part of the aging process, so Botox alternatives are appealing to many people. Both men and women frequently turn to Botox, a physician prescribed injectable that relaxes wrinkles, especially those around the brow area.

Botox Drawbacks

While Botox is effective in the fight against wrinkles, it can also cause some “frozen” facial features. Botox users often find it hard to move their facial muscles after the treatment. In addition, in-office Botox procedures are expensive and rarely covered by insurance.

Finding at-home Botox alternatives might be the right idea for some people.

Types of Botox Alternatives

Alternatives to expensive doctor’s injections can now be found on drugstore shelves and in select beauty lines. Companies around the world are fighting to find the best noninvasive treatment for deep lines and wrinkles. Many people prefer using creams and serums, due to less cost, no doctor’s visits, and the retained ability to move facial muscles.

Most creams and serums combine several things to help fill in and diminish lines. These items include:

• Moisturizers
• Peptides
• Antioxidants
• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Collagen

Additionally, companies frequently develop their own special blends of ingredients that work together to fight the signs of aging.

Products to Try

Not every product is going to work for every person. Depending on your level of wrinkles, how many you have, and how deep they are, you may find one product works better than others. Of course, no product can produce results equivalent to those found in the doctor’s office. Here are some products that you may find worth trying:

• Dr. Brandt Skincare Double Dose in a Box. The Laser in a Bottle Laser Tight formula works to leave skin firm and elastic. Antioxidants deliver nutrients deep in the skin. Crease Release works to lessen wrinkles between the brow, eyes, and mouth.
• DDF-Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula Wrinkle Relax. A peptide with amino acids that works to reduce wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. It does this without freezing facial muscles.
• Avon Anew Clinical Deep Crease Concentrate with Bo-Hylurox. Helps remove expression lines without losing the ability to move facial features. It relaxes facial muscles with Portulaca while Hyaluronic Acid fills in the face's creases.
• Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle. Includes six different peptides that can fight wrinkles. It also has moisturizers and vitamins to help prevent aging. Un-Wrinkle boasts a new alternative to injectable wrinkle-reducers. It helps to reduce brow furrows, eye lines, and other skin wrinkles.
• StriVectin-SD. A stretch mark cream that works on wrinkles as well. It contains a peptide that reduces lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. It also helps to diminish some brow wrinkling.

Keeping Wrinkles at Bay

The best way to treat wrinkles and lines is to prevent them. Of course, nothing will totally prevent every line, but some things can be done to prevent and treat wrinkles as you age:

• Do not tan in tanning beds
• Stay out of the sun or wear SPF if you go out in it
• Use a moisturizer daily
• Begin using an anti wrinkle or anti aging cream with the first signs of aging

Using Botox alternatives can help treat current lines and wrinkles. Additionally, many of the creams and serums contain other agents to help combat further signs of aging. Therefore, using these alternatives over time can help prevent new creases from developing.
