Abstract: A hair shaping topical composition comprising materials that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths that affect tertiary structure (breaking of disulfide) bonds in human hair, and that bring about changes in secondary structure of hair proteins. The intensity of the radiation is controlled and sufficient to cause or facilitate altering of protein structure. The invention includes methods of using such topical compositions. Testing indicates that the hair reshaping is permanent and there is no damage to hair of the type characteristic of chemical treatments.

Abstract: A hair strengthening topical composition comprising materials that emit electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths that affect tertiary structure (breaking of disulfide) bonds in human hair, and that bring about changes in secondary structure of hair proteins. The intensity of the radiation is controlled and sufficient to cause or facilitate altering of protein structure. The invention includes methods of using such topical compositions. Testing indicates that the hair denaturation thermal energy is increased, and there is no damage to hair of the type characteristic of heat and chemical treatments.

Abstract: Topical compositions for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin contain one or more ion exchange polymers, in a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for rejuvenating the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving the skin tone, which includes both a topical composition and a phototherapy device. Specifically, the topical composition contains one or more skin rejuvenating agents selected from the group consisting of creatine, adenosine phosphate, acetyl carnitine, acetyl hexapeptide, and combinations thereof in a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable carrier. The phototherapy device contains one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) for emitting electromagnetic radiation effective for energizing the skin cells and enhancing skin absorption of the skin rejuvenating agents. More particularly, the topical composition is capable of transmitting at least 80% of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the phototherapy device to the skin.
