Create a second skin that replicates the properties of a young dermis – Ultimahora.com

The report, which was conducted from the General Hospital of Massachusetts (MIT its acronym in English) in the US, explains that this contribution will be used to improve medicines that treat diseases such as dermatitis or eczema.

The material which adheres to the skin and is characterized by elastic, transparent and have a long life, it becomes an invisible layer that mimics the mechanisms of youthful skin and that could be adapted for protection against ultraviolet radiation, in the words of researchers.

professor and member of MIT Daniel Anderson said that this chemical acts as a “barrier” facilitates “cosmetic improvements” and “potentially allow you to create medical products”, “three factors that make it ideal for human use. “

According to the British magazine, the study authors conducted several trials in people to test the effectiveness and safety and found that by applying the silicone polymer on the place where they are dark circles, gave off a constant compressive force that tightens the skin for at least 24 hours.

Regarding hydration in dry skin, they realized that all those who tasted this second skin suffered less loss of water those using a commercial high-end product.

in addition, clarified that no one suffered any irritation as a result of the silicone polymer.

to achieve this result, the scientists worked with a range up to 100 different polymers, all composed of a structure of “siloxane” which combines silicon atoms and oxygen.

this material, intended to combat skin problems arising with the passage of years and protect the dermis of high temperatures, toxins, microorganisms, radiation and low firmness and elasticity.
