Ageless Derma develops new anti wrinkle product using Vialox Powder

Cosmetics and anti-aging products manufacturer Ageless Derma has developed a new Stem Cell and Peptide Anti Wrinkle Cream using Vialox Powder (Pentapeptide-3), an alternative to Botox, for the reduction of wrinkles.

Developed by Switzerland-based pharmaceutical research company PentaPharm, the Vialox’s peptide works on face with similar process to Botox to relax muscle cells and blocks the contraction of muscles.

The peptide blocks sodium ions from being discharged, causing a stoppage of electrical charges to skin cells, preventing wrinkles from appearing.

Ageless Derma said it has infused the Vialox Powder in its cream, as the ingredient possesses unique potency to fight wrinkles in a manner closely related to Botox.

In scientific studies, the addition of ingredient to Derma’s anti-wrinkle cream has shown that wrinkles can be reduced by nearly 60% on the whole.

According to a paper published in Dermatologic Therapy1, the authors state that Vialox can ‘. . mimic the effects of botulinum toxin injections.’

The report also states that the ingredient acts in a similar process as tubocurarine, or curare, a substance that also works on relaxing the muscles, keeping the muscles (or wrinkles) from effectively contracting.

The US-based firm said Vialox Powder in clinical studies performed by PentaPharm with volunteers women aged 30-60, applied the substance twice a day to one half of the face for 28 days, and found that the ingredient improved the subjects’ wrinkles, Crow’s feet, by almost 50%.
