Did you know one of the recent crazes when it comes to the wrinkle reduction is anti aging skin care with peptides, which are chains made up of amino acids? It is true that some peptides are actually very good in treating some of the issues that affect how our skin ages. Others produce an effect on the facial muscles underlying the skin that can actually be quite detrimental to you.

It is a shame that people don't really understand that peptides such as Argireline don't simply relax the facial muscles as they are advertised to do. What these compounds do is inflict paralysis on the muscles in select areas of the face, most often around the eyes, mouth, and in the forehead region. These paralyzing compounds are supposed to be safe if only present in concentrations of 10% or less, but frequently you are receiving far higher doses than that.

It is not uncommon for the treatments advertised for the purpose of anti skin care with peptides to contain 15% or more Argireline, and contain other possibly permanently debilitating compounds on top of that. These formulas are pumping you full of agents that control your ability to contract the muscles in your face, and somehow this is not supposed to be a bad thing.

In addition to Argireline you often find compounds such as leuphasyl, which is known for modulating muscular contraction. Octapeptides are compounds that relax the muscles, and force them to lengthen under tension in order to help pull the skin in a way that reduces the depth of your wrinkles. Tripeptide is actually synthetic snake venom that temporarily prevents the treated muscles from contracting.

Since the practice of anti aging skin care with peptides is relatively new, there is really no idea what the long term affect of repeatedly paralyzing your facial muscles will be. Regulatory bodies such as the European Union and U.S. FDA fear that the long term results could be permanent paralysis in some, if not all of the muscles repetitively treated. I wouldn't want to take a chance on these agencies being right, would you?

The thing is that there are safe and effective peptides such as Eyeliss and Haloxyl that are proven to be safe, and effective. Eyeliss removes the puffiness and bags beneath of your eyes by reducing fluid buildup repairing fragile capillaries that leak blood into the eye, and returning elasticity to the skin. Haloxyl removes hemoglobin buildup, boosts circulation, and thickens the skin underneath your eye.

Anti aging skin care with peptides does not have to have a negative affect on you, but you need to ensure that the peptides being used are the right ones for you. Forget about paralyzing your facial muscles to eliminate wrinkles. You can significantly increase the amount of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid through the protein fusion Cynergy TK, and Phytessence Wakame kelp extract.

Bottom line, anti aging skin care with peptides should be a safe experience. Just make sure you research any ingredients you find in topical wrinkle formulas, and you should be okay.
