  • Publication number: 20240108638
    Abstract: Compositions and methods useful in the reduction of localized fat deposits and tightening of loose skin in subjects in need thereof using pharmacologically active detergents are disclosed. The pharmacologically active detergent compositions can additionally include anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, dispersion or anti-dispersion agents and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The pharmacologically active detergent compositions are useful for treating localized accumulations of fat including, for example, lower eyelid fat herniation, lipodystrophy and fat deposits associated with cellulite and do not require surgical procedures such as liposuction.

  • Publication number: 20210275441
    Abstract: Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant and physiologically active phytocannabinoids in Cannabis plants. The chemical has well-known mechanisms that have been the potential to treat and prevent numerous inflammatory, immunologic, anti-infectious, sun-damaged, age-related (wrinkling, drying, hair loss), and neurogenic-related (anti-pain, anti-itch) diseases as well as heal traumatized skin. The incorporation of CBD on or within topically applied formulations or within wound care dressings, biomaterials skin substitutes, or skin adhesives is a novel approach to alleviate, prevent and cure acute and chronic skin disease, and promote normal healing and recovery after injury.

  • Publication number: 20190151508
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting and isolating components from a patient's dermis for autologous use are contemplated wherein dermal micrografts or microplugs are harvested from a patient via an arrayed transection process and subsequently homogenized and centrifuged. Such a process may permit skin components to be obtained in a minimally invasive and rapid fashion, including fat, collagen, fibroblasts, adipocytes, or plasma. For procedures in which only modest quantities of materials are required and benefits may be realized from using autologous materials, the disclosed techniques may be ideal.

  • Publication number: 20190105331
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for alleviating treating bromhidrosis, hyperhidrosis, hidradenitis supportiva, and related conditions of the hair follicle are contemplated via the administration of at least one pharmacologically active bile acid to the area of skin containing the apocrine or eccrine glands causing such conditions. The detergent effect of the bile acid is operative to destabilize and permanently render these glands biologically inactive, substantially disrupting sweat production in the treated area, thus alleviating the treated condition. Topical and injectable formulations and methods of administrations are contemplated, along with various therapeutic regiments.

  • Patent number: 10086036
    Abstract: A composition for displacing loose skin and removing subcutaneous deposits of fatty tissue. The composition includes effective amounts of one or more bleomycin-type drugs that are operative to cause apoptosis in localized fat cells, thus causing permanent eradication of such cells. Loose skin is likewise displaced with dense fibrous tissue produced via selective scarring induced by the active bleomycin-type drugs. The compositions are formulated as creams, lotions, gels, waxes, foams, sprays and the like for selectively applied, local topical application, and may also be administered as a conventional transdermal patch. The compositions may alternatively be formulated to be injected into the skin.

  • Publication number: 20180177700
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for selectively and permanently removing hair from the body. The compositions are formulated to be topically applied upon discrete areas of the body and contain an agent present in an amount sufficient to cause permanent alopecia about the area upon which the composition is applied. Exemplary of such agents include taxanes, such as docetaxel and paclitaxel, and busulfan and other agents known in the art to cause permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). The compositions and methods of applying the same are limited exclusively to transdermal application and operative to induce a localized CIA, and thus avoid systemic distribution of the CIA agent throughout the body. The compositions may further be deployed through known transdermal application mechanisms, such as transdermal patches and the like.
