  • Methods and compositions for tattoo removal
    Patent number: 10322077
    Abstract: Methods and formulations for removing a tattoo by using a cell disrupter in combination with a vasodilator, and optionally one or more of an osmotic modifying agent, a chelation agent, and an occlusive modifying agent. Embodiments optionally further include using one or more of an antibiotic, anesthetic, penetration enhancer, excipient, carrier and vehicle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: BioChemics, Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen G. Carter, Zhen Zhu, Kanu Patel, Diane L. Kozwich, Laura Stephens, John J. Masiz, David H. Donabedian
  • Control of Blood Vessel Physiology To Treat Skin Disorders
    Publication number: 20160235846
    Abstract: In a method for treating an affected skin region of a patient having a skin disorder, a vasodilation composition is applied to an affected skin region of a patient, the affected skin region exhibiting a skin disorder characterized by at least one abnormal blood vessel, and the affected skin region is then treated so as to non-invasively disrupt tissue architecture, e.g., by inducing ischemia, of the at least one abnormal blood vessel. A vasoconstriction composition can then be applied to the skin region to cause vasoconstriction of the at least one blood vessel in order to promote healing.
