New trends are constantly emerging in the beauty, health and lifestyle sectors. Some disappear quickly and others establish themselves successfully. What trends come to mind first when you think of beauty, health and general lifestyle topics? We think of minimally invasive facial treatments with botulinum and the increasing popularity of veganism in society. These two trends previously had little in common, but since the beginning of this year there has been a vegan botulinum preparation that is revolutionizing the market – and not just for vegans. Why? Find out in this article.
The technical term botulinum toxin type A refers to a protein that is extracted from a bacterium and can weaken the muscles through targeted injections, thus reducing the visibility and depth of wrinkles. We want to fight wrinkles, but not at the expense of our natural beauty. Mask-like faces without facial expressions are an absolute no-go, so choosing the right product and the experience of the person injecting it is extremely important. However, botulinum is not only used for purely aesthetic reasons: patients with migraines or so-called hyperhidrosis (excessive sweat production) also benefit from treatment with botulinum. At UNIQAESTHETICS® we always want to be up to date with the latest trends in the beauty sector. But it’s not just the botulinum trend that will keep us busy in 2022; the topic of veganism is no longer just about nutrition, but has now also found its way into the beauty and lifestyle sector. One trend is bringing a breath of fresh air to the anti-ageing industry this year and is a true botulinum innovation. Botulinum and veganism – they didn’t really go well together. Until now: Galderma’s new vegan botulinum is vegan and more effective than previous preparations. Botulinum – vegan, or not?
The vegan formula promises radiant, youthful skin and is therefore an animal-friendly alternative for the number one most popular minimally invasive beauty treatment. But when is a botulinum considered vegan? It is not only the fact that the active ingredient must not be tested on animals in order to be labeled as vegan, but also the ingredients, which must not be of animal origin under any circumstances. Thanks to a new type of production technology, the botulinum toxin A “Alluzience” from the renowned manufacturer Galderma is free from animal proteins and therefore completely vegan. Previous botulinum preparations are generally available in powder form and must be mixed with a liquid containing stabilizers derived from animal proteins – often from rooster combs – by the treating doctor before treatment.
As the new vegan botulinum from Galderma is already in liquid form without animal proteins as stabilizers, it is not only vegan, but also a so-called ‘ready-to-use’ product. This not only makes it easier to use, but also makes it more effective and faster-acting. Patients can expect results within 14 days of treatment and the results last up to 6 months.
