Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a source of green light for activating L-amino acid oxidase in the presence of at least one substrate of this enzyme in order to stimulate the energy metabolism of the cells of the skin, to stimulate their replacement and thus to improve the appearance of the skin and hair, in particular to prevent and/or treat cutaneous signs of ageing of the skin and hair.
Claims8
A method, comprising:
- contacting a surface of skin of a subject with a composition consisting of one or more of ammonium polyacryldimethyltauramide, cyclohexasiloxane, glycerol, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate/PEG-100 stearate, dimyristyl tartrate/cetearyl alcohol/C12-15 pareth-7/PPG-25 laureth 25, xanthan gum, a preservative, and water;
- and at least one substrate selected from the group consisting of leucine, serine, threonine, glycine, alanine, valine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, lysine, arginine, cysteine, aspartate, glutamate, citrulline, ornithine, diaminopimelic acid, penicillamine and α-aminobutyric acid, wherein the skin comprises L-amino acid oxidase EC 1.4.3.2;
- and
- activating the L-amino acid oxidase in the presence of the at least one substrate by exposing the surface of skin with green light having a wavelength of from 500 to 580 nm,
- wherein the exposure to green light is obtained from a source selected from the group consisting of a laser, an IPL, and a metabolite or an active principle that emits light between 500 and 580 nm on exposure to UV radiation.
