ARGIRELINE (Acetyl hexapeptide-8)

is a brand name for the peptide Acetyl hexapeptide-3 or Acetyl hexapeptide-8. 

Similar to Botulinum Toxin A, Argireline works by inhibiting the nerves' ability to release a signal to the muscles, therefore limiting the movements that lead to wrinkles.

Wrinkles, like the crow's feet around the eyes or the vertical lines on the forehead, are caused by contractions from the muscles deep under the skin. The injectable treatments from a dermatologist's office can be targeted specifically to the location and the depth needed to limit these contractions.
