Bees, Replacement For Botox, Research Reveals

Another anti-aging product that comes from a strange source has been monitored in the market once again. However this time the special ingredient may just give you some sort of a cringe. That’s because it’s caused by bee stings. This new cream called Manuka Doctor is making a hit in the UK market. However, the question remains, does it really work?

“Each pot of Manuka Doctor contains more than 10, 000 bee stings,” says an article from the Huffington Post. “The poison in the sting is believed to help slow the aging process and improve skin care.” From the moment it started to hit the market, the sales of this particular just went up by 3, 000 percent.

“Some people are calling this cream ‘nature’s alternative to Botox’,” continues the said the news source. “It’s rumored to stimulate collagen growth and the renewal of cells.” While new creams and lotions may cause a lot of news in the media, a lot of people still believe in the wonders of tested-and-proven effects of Botox and other injectable cosmetic products.

Even though the facts are a bit dangerous, members of the Royal Family like the Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall and the new Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton have been reported to prove its effect.

“These are good but I guess we just have to wait for further studies,” says a certain plastic surgeon named Dr. Paul McCluskey from www.psiatlanta.com. “When it comes to news products, safety will always be an issue. Enthusiasts should really wait for further improvements of these products.”

Botolinum Toxin type A or Botox by nature is a family of neurotoxins that can cause muscles to contract and block nerve signals. For now, it’s the only product that’s approved by FDA and has proven its effectiveness and safety.
