A “second skin” with rejuvenating properties
Should we say goodbye to our current anti-wrinkle products? Researchers at MIT General Hospital in Boston announced they had developed a silicone-based treatment, which gives the skin the hydration and elasticity it needs to stay young. Result: bags under the eyes and wrinkles visibly disappear after its application.
This product, unveiled in the review Nature Materials, arises in two stages. First of all, apply a gel to the most tired areas of the face, then, secondly, another product transforms the first layer to give it the desired properties.
” The materials discovered until today did not have these flexibility properties, were uncomfortable or were itchy », Barbara Gilchrest, dermatologist who participated in the work. ” No material had the property of follow the movement of the skin while returning to its original shape “.
A purely therapeutic use?
If this product clearly seems more effective than all the anti-wrinkles currently available on the market, it is not certain that it will one day be offered to the consumer. The researchers want to concentrate their research only for therapeutic purposes. ” It will also be possible to use it to apply local drug treatments Explains Daniel Anderson, associate professor at MIT.
