For all those suffering from acne there is a new ray of hope.
Scientists invented a novel high-tech transdermal skin patch that can cure acne , a humiliation considered by many who are affected. Acne affects mainly people in their adolescence and others who has various etiologies.
The patch looks like an ordinary plaster like material and can kill the bacteria Acne vulgaris responsible for the condition by means of an electric discharge mediated through this transmembrane device. The scientists at Oplon, an Israel based scientific discovery company claimed that the treatment is just overnight and has no side effects.
A small experiment showed that it can cure acne and its related spot vanishes in almost three days and also it improves the acne scars surrounding the patch.
The patch has a small mesh membrane which contains the specified material. When the patch comes in contact with the skin, the moisture in skin along with the material creates an electrical field in which the bacteria can’t survive and eventually gets killed.
The patch have the capability to knock on the dead skin and the bacterial debris. It contains azelaic acid which kills the bacteria and salicylic acid which removes the dead skin blocking the follicles for rapid wound healing, the ‘Daily Mail’ reported. The large clinical trial studies are required. The study involves 100 patients who can wear the patch overnight or for six hours and can clearly predict its efficacy. The study results are likely to be in six months. Thus we can hope to get a new lease of life in acne treatment in a few months (most likely, the product will be available in market in two years from now).
The plaster for now is applied to only one spot, but the scientists are considering making a pad of the material which can be cut in different sizes and can be used as per the user needs.
