Breakthrough Technology May Do for Hair What Botox Does for Skin

Normal day everything getting high tech, Botox can help for Hair care.

A California company called Kronos has introduced the first-ever line of anti-aging hair care products based on the same proven anti-aging technologies used in high-end skincare lines.

Kronos was recently featured on the Today show and was rated the #1 Hair Treatment product by the Good Housekeeping Institute. It's being called "Botox for Hair" because it contains an innovative technology that's the first of its kind.

In terms of pure science, Kronos is as cutting-edge as it gets. The system was shown in clinical testing to:

• boost hair volume and body by an unprecedented 96%;
• increase hair hydration by 91%;
• improve luster and shine by 96%
• reduce split ends and breakage by 96%
• virtually eliminate color fading for up to four weeks.

The secret, according to the company, is a revolutionary ingredient delivery system called "t-sfere technology." For the first time ever, t-fere technology allows active ingredients to be encapsulated into a microscopic sphere so small that it can actually penetrate into the hair follicle and hair shaft.

Inside the t-sferes is a potent combination of 5 restorative ingredients complexes that target key areas of hair health such as volume, shine, hydration, strength and color retention.

The scientists at Kronos developed a way to release the active ingredients layer by layer so the product works continuously and where it is needed most, inside the scalp, follicle and hair shaft. That means radically more powerful and effective ingredients. Kronos is the only haircare line with this new, patent-pending delivery system.

How old is your hair?

It may sound like a crazy question, but just as your skin can prematurely age, so can your hair. Between heat styling, color treatments, frequent blow drying, straightening, curling and perming, even women in their 20s can have hair that looks twice their age.

Most hair care products just aren't made to stand up to the ravages we inflict upon our hair. Kronos was developed specifically to repair damaged hair and restore it to a younger, healthier state.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a trade name for botulinum toxin A. In thiw way, Botox is related to botulism. Botulism is a form of food poisoning that occurs when someone eats something containing a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin A is one of the neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum.

The most serious symptom of botulism is paralysis, which is some cases has proven to be fatal. The botulinum toxins (there are seven - types are A through G) attach tehemselves to nerve endings. Once this happens, acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions, cannot be released. A series of proteins, VAMP, syntaxin and SNAP-25, are essential for the release of acetylcholine. Certain botulinum toxins attack theses proteins, Botulinum toxin A (Botox) affects the SNAP-25.

Basically, the botulinum toxins block the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. Say, for examplex, it attacks the muscles in your breathing. When people die from botulism, this is often the cause - the respiratory muscles are paralyed so it's impossible to breathe.

At this point, you may be wondering why anyone would want to have a botulinum toxin injected into his or her body. The answer is simple: If an area of the body can't move, it can't wrinkle.
