Coast Flashlights Reduce Wrinkles?
A recent study shows visible signs of younger-looking, healthier skin after exposure to light-emitting diodes (L.E.D.s). Is this good news for Coast L.E.D. lights and technology?
Researchers at the University of Ulm in Germany report that high-intensity light from L.E.D.s applied daily for several weeks to facial wrinkles resulted in “rejuvenated skin, reduced wrinkle levels, juvenile complexion and lasting resilience.” The study indicates the L.E.D.-based skin treatment is a possible alternative to current, popular treatments like Botox and collagen used to reduce wrinkles on the face and neck, say reporters at Bio Optics World Magazine.
The university researchers report the light from the diodes changes the molecular structure of a glue-like layer of water on elastin, the protein that provides elasticity in skin, blood vessels, heart and other body structures.
“Figuratively speaking, the light strips away those water molecules that are involved in the immobilization of elastin, gradually restoring its elastic function and thus reducing facial wrinkles,” writes Bio Optics. “We are justified in believing that our approach can be easily converted to deep body rejuvenation programs,” the researchers say.
So, does this mean Coast L.E.D. flashlights will reduce wrinkles? Probably not. But, hey, it couldn’t hurt either…
