Marine Collagen: Is it the Better Alternative To Botox? 

The face is the main source of identification and expression of emotions, wrinkles and skin laxity are considered to be the most obvious signs of aging. If you've ever considered getting a little something done to make yourself look younger, you've likely heard of Botox. This popular treatment has been around for years and is still going strong as the go-to choice when it comes to wrinkle reduction. But there are alternatives to Botox that may be better suited for your needs. Let's take a look at why marine collagen might be the way to go when it comes to turning back time. 

The Botox Reality

BOTOX® is one of many brand names for an injectable treatment made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. While this may sound like an ideal solution for aging skin, it's important to note that there are some drawbacks associated with using Botox, such as: 

• Temporary results, Botox injections last on average of 2-6 months.
• Pain and Bruising, at the site of the injections.
• Development of tolerance, as it has to be administered repeatedly leading to higher dosing and more sessions. 
• Mask Face, losing facial expressions or keeping the face in a constant surprised or frowning expression.
• Other side effects, including droopy eyelids, headaches, neck pain and nausea that can last for 2-6 weeks after the procedure.
• The effects differ (it’s not magic), if the patient has sun damage or wrinkles at rest, or the patient is elderly the procedure will only reduce lines, but also will not eliminate them.

Alternatives to Botox

Before considering any type of cosmetic procedure, there are some things that you can do naturally to combat wrinkles and improve your skin's overall health. For example, applying sunscreen daily helps protect against sun damage and premature aging. Drinking plenty of water keeps skin hydrated while avoiding bad habits such as smoking or overindulging in alcohol can also help prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place. Consuming anti-aging foods such as blueberries and salmon can also help reduce wrinkles while taking vitamins and supplements like Vitamin C can help boost collagen production in your body.

So what about marine collagen

What is it and how does it compare to Botox injections? Marine collagen is a natural protein derived from marine organisms that has been proven to improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, sagging skin, age spots, etc. Unlike Botox, marine collagen provides long-term results with no downtime or side effects. Marine collagen is applied ingested rather than injected directly into the skin; there is no risk of bruising or scarring associated with its use.
