When muscles contract they receive a neurotransmitter release from a nerve. Like Botulinum Toxin A, Medik8 Pretox® 20 releases the amount of nerve stimulation on the local muscle tissue being targeted but unlike Botulinum Toxin A, Medik8 Pretox® does not paralyze the muscle completely. Instead it gently and temporarily reduces the strength of specific muscle contractions, thus the formation of new lines and wrinkles is reduced and old lines appear much less prominent - leaving you with smoother, younger looking skin.
Medik8 Pretox® 20 contains an inoffensive hexapeptide composed of natural amino acids to reduce the depth of the wrinkles in the face caused by the contraction of the muscles of facial expression, especially in the forehead & around the eyes. Hexapeptide prevents the ageing of skin induced by repeated facial movements caused by excessive catecholamine (neurotransmitter) release. Clinical tests have shown that Medik8 Pretox® 20 inhibits the snare complex (muscle contraction mechanism) to a greater extent than other relative peptides. In fact, Medik8 Pretox® 20 is up to 70% more effective at reducing muscle stimulation than leading competitors. Medik8 Pretox® 20 is a brilliantly safe and relatively inexpensive alternative to harsh, muscle paralysis treatment and can also be used to prolong the effects of Botulinum Toxin treatments.
Medik8 Pretox® 20 Recommended Uses:
