You probably noticed how much we love LEDs and I have to say that we will love them even more as we are getting older because LED light could be used in medicine. How? Well, according to two German researchers LEDs could help reducing skin wrinkles therefore in the future Botox or other cosmetic surgeries could be history.

After a few weeks when “patients” have endured the high-intensity visible light from the LEDs daily, the results were incredible: “rejuvenated skin, reduced wrinkle levels, juvenile complexion and lasting resilience.”

High-intensity visible light was used in medicine for a long time, but researchers never noticed the physicochemical properties this light. According to Andrei P. Sommer and Dan Zhu, the high-intensity visible light has been used to heal wounds. however, the two researchers noticed that the light penetrates the skin and it causes “good changes” in the sub-surface tissue.

“We are justified in believing that our approach can be easily converted to deep body rejuvenation programs,” claim the German researchers as they explained how the high-intensity visible light works. It seems like the light changes the molecular structure of viscous layer of water on elastin, a very important protein which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin, blood vessels, and heart among other body parts.

Well, we are waiting for LEDs to become an actual treatment. Hopefully, it won’t be too expensive and we’ll look younger forever.
