Medik8 Pretox Infin8

Clinically proven to be 30% stronger than the corresponding Argireline® formulation, there is no more powerful topical muscle relaxant treatment. Contains 20% active ingredient in its complex form. This new super muscle relaxant ingredient - octapeptide, an elongation of the famous hexapeptide, Argireline®, is exclusive to Medik8. Designed for both men and women above their 40s onwards.
Infin8® is an effective and advanced way of reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles without the need of invasive techniques like injections or plastic surgery.

It offers a cosmetic solution against dynamic wrinkles based on an (exclusive to Medik8) 20% active ingredient called octapeptide. Octapeptide, which is an elongation of the famous hexapeptide – Argireline, stops the neurotransmitter release from reaching the muscle cell and effectively stops the muscle contraction. Rejuvenation of the face (by means of shallowing the depth of specific wrinkles) is an effect of continuous use, as is the smoothing effect on the skin. Infin8 contains the strongest available topical formula to chemically block the connections between nerves and local muscles.

Benefits:

• Pretox® contains an inoffensive octapeptide composed of natural amino acids.
• It is a safer, cheaper and milder alternative to wrinkle relaxing treatment, targeting the same wrinkle forming mechanism in a very different way.
• Stimulates the skin fibroblasts in order to reconstitute the extracellular matrix.
• Leads to the synthesis of collagen I and IV, fibronectine and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
• Stimulates wound healing and gene expression, without the pro-inflammatory reactions of other treatments.
• Contains 20% Acetyl Octapeptide
Pretox Range

Injection Free is a specialist treatment cosmeceutical range based on the critical discoveries in the global beauty industry and Medik8’s own research. The gel formula reduces the appearance of all types of wrinkles: dynamic, static and wrinkle folds.

In order to understand how Pretox works, it is essential to become familiar with how muscle contractions are stimulated. It is the attenuation or muting of muscle contraction in the facial muscle groups which allows wrinkles to ‘flatten out’ and become much less visible.

Therefore, inhibition of the Snare Complex is the key to preventing the formation of dynamic wrinkles.

SNARE Complex
The nervous system and consequently the muscle contractions depend on chemical substances for communication among the various neurons and nervous fibres. These chemicals enable the brain to interpret signals (neurotransmitters) and produce a mechanical response (muscle contractions).
