Light therapy get rid of wrinkles - scientists


The combination of light therapy and lotion from green tea extract works ten times faster than similar methods of LEDs wrinkles, according to dermatologists at the University of Ulm (Germany)

Light therapy or phototherapy is used to treat skin wounds and injuries for over 40 years. But recently, doctors have determined that daily use of high-power LEDs, similar to those used in car headlamps and computers, will eliminate wrinkles on the skin for a few months. It is reported by AMI-TASS

However, exposure to intense light sources in the dermis also entails adverse effects such as formation of a high level of reactive oxygen species, potentially damaging the cells. As a result of scientific experiments, it was recorded that in combination with a powerful antioxidant extract epigallocatechin gallate, entitled, extracted from green tea, the work of the LEDs does not bring harm to the skin.

In the study volunteers for a month daily experienced the combination of light therapy with the composition of green tea. At the end of observations physicians noticed significant improvement in surface texture of the skin on the face: wrinkles becomes less pronounced and the skin more smooth and soft.

Dermatologists believe that the innovative technique will be a promising tool for skin rejuvenation and help to understand the effect of reactive oxygen species on cellular aging.
