Researchers Have Found A Plant-Based Alternative To Botox    

It Is Based On Maple Leaves And Can Be Applied Topically, Not Injected    

One of the treatments for wrinkles is Botox, which relaxes the muscles mellow the skin. However, researchers have found that maple leaf extract can have a similar effect on the skin. The enzyme elastin is related to the skin’s elasticity. When aging, another enzyme called elastase breaks down elastin, which leads to wrinkles. However, researchers have found that maple leaves contain a substance that inhibits the activity of elastase. Besides, this substance can also protect from inflammation, and also lighten hyperpigmentation. Also, an improvement over botox is that it can be applied topically, not injected into the skin. This is attractive for people looking for natural plant-based solutions. Additional information click here.
