LONDON: Forget splashing thousands on

developed a pillow that can atomic number 26 out the ugly looking for lines. What�s more,
the pillow canful wipe proscribed crow's feet.



Boffins experience developed a copper
oxide pillow font, with tests showing those who victimised it for four weeks had fewer
lines and wrinkles than those victimization conventional bedding material. Clinical trials were
carried out on 57 volunteers for quaternion weeks, with the volunteers either given an
anti-wrinkle pillow, which feels no different for normal textile, or a similar
established pillow.



By the trial's end, those sleeping on the pig
pillows were statistically more likely to have less wrinkles. Jeffrey Gabbay,
owner of Cupron, which manufactured the copper medical dressings to develop the
pillow case, said: "The surgeon doing our wound-healing trial remarked how an
increase in collagen was helping to heal wounds."



"We wondered if it
might work on fixing wrinkles and lines on the face. So we had some copper woven
pillows made up and noticed that over a few years of fabrication on a cooper pillow
lines on the face started to soften," the Telegraph quoted him, as saying. He
added: "It has been the most fantastical discovery. The fabric... is best at
ironing out the finer lines."
