Anti-wrinkle Injections (Toxin) are one of the most popular treatments here at Flawless Aesthetics
What if we told you there’s a way to make your Toxin last longer by 30%?
What is Zinc?
Zinc is a chemical element. It is an essential nutrient, that can’t be naturally produced by your body.
Why do we need Zinc?
It is a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of cells, building proteins, healing damaged tissue, and supporting a healthy immune system.
So, how does Zinc work with Toxin?
Botox is a neurotoxin. Neurotoxins disrupt normal nerve function – which leads to less wrinkles and smoother skin due to reduced muscle movement! The effects of neurotoxins generally last between 3-4 months.
Zinc is thought to be required for Toxin to act as a working neurotoxin.
Research from a study showed that 92% of the patients that took Zinc supplements say better results from their previous toxin treatments.
Not only did they notice the Toxin working quicker after being initially injected; the results lasted ‘several’ weeks longer in comparison to previous treatments.
Where can Zinc be found?
Zinc can be incorporated into your diet by eating zinc rich foods or taking supplements. Foods from animal origin and plants often have high zinc concentrations, such as:
- Meat/Poultry/Eggs
- Fish/Shellfish
- Dairy products
- White beans/Peas
- Whole-grain cereal products
- Dark chocolate/Cocoa
- Garlic/Onions
You can also buy over the counter Zinc supplements from most supermarkets.
For the best Toxin results using Zinc, its recommended to: Take Two Zinc capsules daily, 4 days before your appointment.
To sum up, it’s well worth buying in the supplements to give it a bash. Thank us later!
