In conclusion, there is a good amount of pre-clinical and clinical data showing a strong positive correlation between reduction of senescent cells frequencies and functional improvement of skin. Whether senescence of skin cells makes a significant causal contribution to skin ageing can still not be conclusively decided, however. Nonetheless, there is strong evidence existing today to assume that better understanding of cell senescence in skin may lead to a breakthrough in interventions into skin ageing.

Tattoo Remorse? What You Need to Know About Erasing Your Ink
Regrets on getting that tattoo? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates tattooing and tattoo removal, has some practical advice on tattoo removal. This information is taken directly from that report.
“One way to go is professionally supervised laser removal, according to Mehmet Kosoglu, an FDA engineer.
The process exposes a tattoo to pulses of high-intensity laser energy. After exposure, tattoo pigment breaks up into small pieces, which can then be naturally metabolized by the body or excreted.
Some colors respond better to laser removal better than others, Kosoglu warns. Green, red and yellow a...

Insight Into Skin Regeneration: dsRNA and TLR3
Researchers continue to explore the mechanisms of regeneration in search of both a greater understanding of why it falters in aging, as well as ways to enhance the normal processes of healing. Here they have focused on the role of double-stranded RNA and toll-like receptor 3 in triggering skin regeneration in response to damage:
Researchers have identified a novel cell signaling pathway in mice through which mammals - presumably including people - can regenerate hair follicles and skin while healing from wounds. "Medications that turn on this protein have the powerful potential to decrease scarring as healing of wounds ta...

How often should I exfoliate my face?
Susan says… My question (& I’m sure other’s too) is how often should we exfoliate? With ever increasing choice in exfoliators on the market and differing advice as to regularity of use (sometimes as a marketing ploy to buy more product), ideally how often should we be exfoliating? Are we doing more harm than good with daily products?
The Beauty Brains respond
This is another one of those questions where there’s no “one size fits all” answer. As you pointed out there are many types of exfoliators on the market and it’s difficult (impossible?) to find a consensus of opinion on how often to use them. We tend...
