Overview

Sta-Tight was created by Dr. Lewis Feder, who - according to the company’s web site - was among the first East Coast doctors to use collagen injections for the face and who now is on the forefront of using skin grafts to help revitalize the skin. Dr. Feder created Sta-Tight as an alternative to Botox and other injections. According to the web site, Sta-Tight helps firm and tighten skin in as little as 2-3 days. This seems like an impressive claim, if it proves to be true.

 Featured Ingredients

Sta-Tight delivers an amino acid known as Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. As opposed to Botox, which is supposed to smooth out wrinkles by freezing the facial muscles so they stop contracting and causing creases in the skin, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 apparently relaxes those muscles with the same intent. While the research behind Acetyl Hexepaptide-3 does look encouraging, results seem to be mixed.

Sta-Tight also contain sodium Hyaluronate, which is a particular form of Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the best skin moisturizers on the market. It holds up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, and thus helps keep skin smooth and soft. Sta-Tight and Dr. Feder should be commended for adding his superior anti-aging nutrient to the product.

However, the product could go a few steps further by encouraging collagen production in the skin. While facial muscle contraction and hydration are important, a comprehensive wrinkle formula should also include compounds such as Lifting Spheres, Glucosamine Complex and Regenex to help the skin produce more of its own collagen, since most wrinkles form when the body’s collagen production declines.

 Web Site Description

The Sta-Tight web site seems to be clinical in focus. There are some research studies posted, as well as biographical information on Dr. Feder. The site also contains compelling before/after photos of consumers who have used the formula. Unfortunately, the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team soon realized that much of the research for the formula is focused on Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, one of the ingredients in the formula, rather than the entire formula.

 Positives

- Use of Hyaluronic Acid

- Research on Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is compelling

 Negatives

- No research on the entire formula

- Unclear if a Free Trial of the product is available

- Formula lacks Glucosamine Complex and other known collagen boosters

 Conclusion

In essence, Sta-Tight seems like a formula that is almost there. While the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid deserves praise, the failure to include known collagen boosters like Glucosamine Complex makes the formula incomplete. Hopefully Dr. Feder and his team take the time to revise the formula to include this ingredient so that one day we can endorse it. Until then, consumers are advised to look elsewhere.
