Will ‘Second Skin’ put a lot of plastic surgeons out of business?

Will ‘Second Skin’ put a lot of plastic surgeons out of business?

 

It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie: Scientists at MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, Living Proof, and Olivo Labs banded together to develop a “second skin” that tightens skin and smoothes away wrinkles, according to a new study.

 

The researchers created a silicone-based coating that mimics the appearance, elasticity, and strength of younger-looking, healthy skin. The protective polymer can make up for the natural loss of elasticity as we age, which contributes to wrinkles and sagging skin. In fact, the polymer is stronger than human skin — in lab tests, it snapped back to its original state after being stretched more than 250 percent, while natural skin can be stretched about 180 percent, according to a statement put out by MIT.

The manufacturer, Living Proof, has always over-hyped its products. "We've hired MIT scientists to cure frizz, and they've done it," they said when they introduced a hair line a few years ago. The reviews say it's nothing special.

 

That said, I'm impressed that even the NYT couldn't find much negative to say about it. Their trademark status quo is better routine was left to the "NYT pick" commenters.

Here’s how it works: The polymer is applied to skin in the form of a cream or ointment, followed by a “platinum catalyst” that triggers the polymer to form a strong yet flexible film. The film lasts up to 24 hours and remains nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Then it’s back to Grumpy!

Other than uneven facial skin tone (some due to long-term use of contraceptives), I am blessed with great skin (and hair). One of the perks of being at least half Asian is that from the teens through the 50s or so, it's hard to tell one's age.

 

Besides, there are already so many faboo Korean beauty products on the market that even Westerners swear by.
