I happened to catch a glimpse of Rachel Ray's morning talk show.

Actual Clip Excerpt
On this particular episode, her guest star was a doctor applying a facial cream on an audience member. In any case, looks like a standard information. However, this clip stands out because this guest star doctor mentioned that this particular treatment was unique in that the cream was synthesized from GABA, or "mimicked Botox." In my mind, I was just shaking my head. Totally two different things: if only everyday people knew of this. One was a topical ointment, Botox is usually administered via injection. Besides this simple comparison, the doctor also mentioned to the audience GABA is a natural transmitted. Little did he distinguish that Botox is synthesized to a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
Not that I've taken pharmacotherapy or pharmacology II recently, but I definitely know that these GABA receptors in the brain and hypothalamus have a different effect.
Not saying that the topical ointment can diffuse and have those therapeutic outcomes, but I definitely suggesting holding off using this type of wrinkle-remedy so soon. Continue with caution and just wait for the long term effects of such effects. Wrinkles are bad, but too much or too little GABA definitely is worse.
