As the years pass, and those deep expression lines begin appearing more prominently – using a wrinkle/ muscle-relaxing treatment becomes inevitable if we want to retain youthful-looking skin as long as possible. . But is it  always necessary to opt for cosmetic procedures, or using injectible toxins to suspend these signs of aging? 

The good news is that with modern science and the potent and clinically proven ingredients in topical serums, it’s  now possible to add lost volume, smooth wrinkles, improve complexion, enhance the contours of your face, and more.. with results close to Botox and Hyaluronic Acid injectible treatments. While there are  pros and cons of both, read further to find the best solution for you:    

What Are Topical Botox-like Serums

Topical Botox-like or anti-aging serums are applied directly onto your face, neck, and decolletage (the areas most prone to visible aging). These serums mimic the effect of fillers, minus the needle. The most potent of these are made of – collagen-building peptides (such as Argireline & Matrixyl). 

Unlike injectables, topical serums have tiny microscopic molecules with multiple active ingredients that easily penetrate deep within the dermal layers of the skin. This needle-free technique provides multidimensional benefits including significant improvement in net collagen+elastin+hyaluronic acid for a smoother, tighter, more youthful complexion over time. 

Pros

• Provides gradual,but long-lasting results. 
• Affordable cost. Our concentrated and potent BioScience Peptide Complex is $49.95 and provides guaranteed results within 60 days. 
• Filling out/rejuvenating/rebuilding  a depleted collagen net (the primary cause of aging skin).   Our Clinically proven formulas are guaranteed to provide visible results, and improve net collagen levels in 60 days.
• Accelerates cellular genesis or replacement naturally. 

hypoallergenic for 99% of people and without  adverse side-effects.  

Cons

• Important to choose products wisely – Greenwashing and/or insignificant concentration of key anti-aging ingredients/ formulas generally provide little to no results. 
• Consistent and daily use is required to increase skin firmness over time. 

What Are Dermal Injectable Fillers

Dermal injectable fillers are treatments where your dermatologist injects either natural or synthetic materials beneath the skin to improve skin elasticity, add volume, provide cheek/jaw augmentation, to smooth wrinkles, and more. The most popular dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), poly-L-Lactic Acid, Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), collagen fillers (such as bovine/human-derived), or autologous fat injections/ fat grafting. 

Pros

• Quality fillers provide visible results which can last from six months to a year. 

Cons

• High risk of severe reactions, and uneven results.
• Painful process. Medical expertise and precise technique required. 
• High cost – An average cost of an injectable filler can be $700 to $1,500. Fat transfers cost $5,000+. 
• Most treatments are temporary or semi-permanent. 

• Procedures such as fat grafting will require surgical treatments and some treatments such as collagen fillers and PMMA carries risk of allergy and complications. 
• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people on anticoagulants, or those suffering from autoimmune disease or an ongoing skin infection. 

Can Advanced Skin Care Replace Botox?

Topical Peptide Skin Therapy with Argireline and Matrxiyl in our BioScience Peptide Complex is proven to provide results similar to Botox. Argireline is a ‘wrinkle-relaxing peptide’ which provides up to 30% reduction in the depth and appearance of deep expression lines in the first 6 weeks of use – with as much as a 60% reduction in the first 90-120 days consistent use. The ‘collagen enhancing peptide’ – Matrixyl increases collagen synthesis by up to 117%, collagen IV synthesis up by 327%, and Hyaluronic Acid synthesis up by 267%. These peptides “train” the skin cells to naturally boost collagen levels, thus promoting firmness and preventing deepening of expression lines over time. 

Cosmetic Therapies and Medical Strength Skin Care – Synergize to Boost Results

If you have severe folds, wrinkles, or major volume loss and want immediate results, injectables may be recommended by your dermatologist along with medical strength skin care post-procedure. Our dosha-specific anti-aging regimens are recommended by top dermatologists and are proven to extend or improve longevity (ie; ‘how long will this treatment last?’ of these medical therapies. Please note that if you have rosacea, or other dermal disorders, fillers may not be appropriate for your condition. 

Starting at the Right Time

While it is recommended that topical anti-aging treatments should preferably be started by your mid-30s – we say your age/ dosha type is not relevant with Puraveda Organics! Combine our revolutionary BioScience Peptide Complex with Rejuv Serum (for skin under 35) or Collagen Boost Serum (for skin over 35), or SBR Serum (for rosacea/ sensitive skin) to accelerate anti-aging results.
