Will Botox in a Jar Soon Replace Botox Injections?

It seems like every other day we see a new beauty product that claims to be 'Botox in a jar', freezing wrinkles with ingredients that mimic the action of snake venom, for example. But, soon there may be products that hit the market that could actually lay claim to the title of Botox in a jar.

New developments in the world of aesthetics

Some of the big aesthetic product companies are developing creams that contain peptides that can penetrate the muscles in the face, causing them to stop working and thereby creating the dynamic wrinkles around the eyes or on the brow.

One such product is RT100 which is a topical gel that can relax the muscles around the eye, reducing crow's feet in the same way that injectable Botox does.

The product is applied to the skin, above the targeted muscle, left on for a period of approximately 30 to 40 minutes, so it can travel through the dermal layers, and then removed. Just like Botox, it takes a few days to see the results and the results are expected to last approximately the same amount of time.

Why you should always see a Botox expert such as Dr Tapan

But just because this is a cream or gel, you shouldn't underestimate the importance of seeing a specially qualified, trained and experienced practitioner such as Dr Tapan. Every muscle has a complimentary muscle that pulls the other way and if the topical solution was applied to the wrong muscle then you might just end up with an effect you weren't looking for.

In London you will be surrounded by many options if you're looking for a Botox treatment with many clinics offering deals and special offers. However, a Botox expert such as Dr Tapan has had many years' experience in a wide range of aesthetic treatments, so as well as being assured of a totally safe experience at the VIVA Clinic, you know you'll get the benefit of his skill to get the best result possible.

So, is there a place for Botox in a jar?

For patients who are very needle-phobic or are more prone to suffer from injection-related side effects then these new products could be the answer.
