The Leader in Anti-Aging Treatments: 3 Surprising Facts about StriVectin

Many people have heard about StriVectin, a topical breakthrough touted as “Better Than Botox,” to treat facial lines and wrinkles. But they may not know the whole story behind this collection. Here are three little-known StriVectin facts.

StriVectin is a leader in anti-aging treatments, designed to make skin look better, fresher and younger. Learn more about its unique history and high-performance products in Skincare-News.com's latest article, “3 Facts You Might Not Know About StriVectin.”

  1. StriVectin was originally formulated to treat stretch marks. These pesky, streaky, snake-like marks wind their way around hips, thighs, stomach and buttocks, often resulting from pregnancy, weight gain or certain medical conditions. And stretch marks are notoriously difficult to treat. StriVectin was designed to improve the many signs of stretch marks, making them look lighter in color, shorter in length, plus flatter and less deep.
  2. StriVectin treats deep wrinkles in addition to fine lines. Many topical products, creams, gels and serums claim to help fine lines, minor wrinkles or other early signs of aging. Many women notice skin issues such as crow’s feet around the corners of the eyes; furrow lines around the forehead and between eyebrows; and nasolabial folds and creases around the nose, cheeks and mouth. 

But if a woman’s lines and wrinkles are deeper and more advanced, then she probably finds that topical products are often ineffective. Contrary to popular belief, professional procedures and fillers are not the only solutions. StriVectin offers effective products for more advanced wrinkles and lines:

    • If lines and wrinkles are deeply etched on the face, StriVectin-WF Deep Wrinkle Filler can help. It can be used all over the face or on trouble areas.
    • StriVectin HS Hydro-Thermal Deep Wrinkle Serum treats the crucial space between the dermis and epidermis skin layers where deep wrinkles form.
  1. StriVectin formulas are also available for the neck and hands. It’s typical to associate signs of aging with the face, and indeed, this is where they tend to show up first. But, in addition to facial lines and wrinkles, a woman may have firmness loss along the neck, as well as unsightly age spots and veins on the backs of the hands. Even if a woman’s complexion looks healthy and young, these signs on her neck and hands can make her appear much older. StriVectin offers treatment options for these often-neglected areas:
    • For droopy texture or uneven pigmentation resulting from UV exposure, StriVectin Neck Cream lifts and shapes skin’s texture. It also improves skin discoloration for a more even-toned look.
    • Dryness and exposure to environmental assaults mar hands with unattractive brown spots, wrinkles and rough texture. StriVectin HC Hand Cream is a rich product that moisturizes and smoothes skin while reducing the look of lines, wrinkles and age spots. Another benefit — it helps defend skin from future UV and environmental damage.

 

Look for the perfect StriVectin formulas to treat lines and wrinkles — whether they’re fine or deep — on face, neck or hands.
