Reality Or A Viral TikTok Trend?
Comparing Botox with Argireline Matrixyl Combination – Similarities & Differences:
- Botox Popularized by TikTok, the brand “TheOrdinary’s” Topical serums 10% Argireline serum and 10% Matrixyl serum, have provided considerable results. The Cost of Botox Injections and Fillers makes this option worth considering since not everyone can afford them and even Botox has a time limit to it. As time passes, botox is removed by the body as is a toxin that inhibits function i.e. muscle movement. This means reinjecting the toxin is mandatory to maintain its results.
- Yet, Botox injections provide a much better result in as little as 2 weeks and can last for months. While Argireline requires more time and almost continuous maintenance to prolong results, it is not as accurate as one would hope to achieve with Botox. Argireline cannot penetrate about relax muscles as Botox due to its topical nature.
- Argireline, like Botox, relaxes muscle movement and improves collagen production. Thereby increasing skin laxity. Another plus point is that not everyone is ok with injecting themselves with a toxin for cosmetic purposes. This makes it a more workable method of achieving somewhat similar results.
