The Problem! Aging Skin.

Premature Aging has a negative impact on careers, social life and your self image. Understanding the structure and function of the skin helped LED Technologies, LLC in the development of products that reduce the appearance of visible signs of facial aging.

As we get older components of our skin - collagen and elastin - degenerate setting the stage for the appearance of wrinkles, creases, folds, and furrows. The breakdown of these components, accelerated by sun exposure and gravity, result in sagging skin. Skin is easily damaged, by external factors such as sunlight, pollution, harsh soaps and chemicals and by internal causes such as cigarette smoke and diet. Source: The National Institute on Aging

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), with aging all skin cells begin to produce excess amounts of free radicals - unstable oxygen molecules - that, under ideal circumstances, are removed by naturally occurring antioxidants within the skin's cells.  In aging skin cells, antioxidants are in short supply.  The free radicals generated are left unchecked and cause damage to cell membranes, proteins, and DNA.  These free radicals eventually break down a protein substance in connective tissue (COLLAGEN) and release chemicals that cause inflammation in the skin.  It is a combination of these cellular and molecular events that leads to skin aging and the formation of wrinkles.
