Mechanical cell memory may influence facial tissue elasticity
A study suggests mechanical cell memory could help facial tissues retain elasticity. Researchers found it may reduce signs of aging such as crow's feet and laugh lines.
Why it matters
This could be relevant for aging skin, though evidence is preliminary and based on lab work.
study type and findings
The research is based on lab work and suggests mechanical cell memory may influence how facial tissues retain their youthful elasticity.
Common questions
