From New Beauty:

Doctors have long been looking for a way to give patients the benefits of Botox without the needle. (You may recall, for example, the Botox cream being tested for hyperhidrosis.) The latest efforts involve Botox-soaked sponges, and the effects are surprisingly promising.

It has already been established that Botox injections can help the symptoms of rhinitis, which include a chronically runny nose, sneezing and congestion. German researchers, testing an alternative to injections, inserted sponges filled with Botox into participants' nostrils for 30 minutes, and then had the participants keep a "nose diary" for three months.

Patients who received the Botox sponge treatment scored higher in all aspects of symptom relief than those who did not, leading researchers to believe that this could be an effective implementation.

"We've shown that the minimally invasive application method of BTA (botulinum toxin A) with a sponge is a safe, painless method which can lead to a long lasting reduction of nasal hypersecretion," said study author Rainer Laskawi.

The anatomy of the nostril is different than that of the forehead and other areas where Botox may be used for cosmetic purposes, so the potency of the sponge method is hard to predict in the aesthetic arena. However, those of us who are disinclined to opt for injections are hopeful that further research shows promise for wrinkle relaxation.

Are you kidding me?  Could needle-less Botox be in our future?  I haven't "gone there" yet...and probably one of the reasons why is due to my fear of needles!  If this becomes a reality, I am sooo going to check it out!  Now if they'd just invent vacuumless lipo, I'd be in heaven!

No more needles! We have developed a Wrinkle-Relaxing Serum™ that makes use of the most recent scientific findings in neuro-chemistry & balances it with traditional herbalism. Our BrowTox™ Wrinkle Relaxer contains 10% Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline®), a peptide which with continued use, over time is shown to help relax the muscle contractions in the face that cause deep lining of the forehead, crow's feet and laugh lines. 

It also contains herbal extracts from Brazilian plants that historically has produced mild, muscular inactivity when applied topically. Through the scientific process of serial dilution, we are able to add these plant extracts in amounts that are effective, yet completely safe & non-toxic. We know of no other available product that offers this natural alternative to expensive & painful cosmetic injections! BrowTox™ Wrinkle Relaxer gives a Botox®-like effect that is both immediate and cumulative. The appearance of deep expression lines virtually fade away with continued use.
