Kendall Jenner addressed plastic surgery rumors, denying having any procedures beyond skin treatments like PRP microneedling and baby Botox, and attributing changes in her appearance to natural growth and acne medication, despite speculation about nose jobs.
Scientists have discovered that young blood serum, when combined with bone marrow cells, can activate anti-aging signals in human skin cells, potentially reversing signs of aging by promoting cell renewal and collagen production. This research, conducted using a 3D human skin model, highlights the role of specific proteins in this process and suggests promising avenues for future anti-aging therapies, although further testing in humans is needed.
Weightlifting has been found to be more effective than aerobic training in rejuvenating the skin, according to a recent Japanese study. The study divided middle-aged women into two groups, one doing aerobic training and the other doing resistance training using weight machines. Both groups experienced improved skin elasticity and upper dermal structure, but the weightlifting group also had improved dermal thickness. Resistance training produced factors that increased the production of skin proteins, including biglycan, which is known to decrease with age. The study suggests that even less resistance training can have a positive effect on the skin, and recommends working the larger muscles of the body for an anti-inflammatory effect.
Red and blue light therapy, forms of LED photodynamic therapy, are gaining popularity in dermatology and at-home treatments. Red light therapy stimulates cell renewal and repair, making it effective for regrowing hair and reducing fine lines. Blue light therapy targets oil glands, reducing sebum production and treating acne. Both therapies have in-office treatments for various skin conditions, including anti-aging, scar reduction, and rosacea treatment. At-home devices for red and blue light therapy are available, offering convenience and potential skin benefits. However, caution should be exercised with blue light therapy due to potential long-term effects on the skin and eyes.
