  • Publication number: 20120192886
    Abstract: Methods for disguising dermatological blemishes are provided. The method includes providing a package containing at least a viscous silicone material and a catalyst. The silicone material or the catalyst is preferably tinted with a cosmetic pigment. The package may also include one or more dispensers, such as double-barrel syringes. The syringes hold the viscous silicone material and the catalyst, separately. The package may also have mixing tips through which the silicone material and the catalyst may be dispensed, whereupon the silicone material and the catalyst are mixed and applied to a user's skin for curing. The method includes applying the silicone mixture on a dermatological area of interest, applying one of the at least one skin texturing pad to the silicone mixture before the silicone mixture cures to create texture to the silicone material, and allowing the silicone material to cure on a skin surface of the human user.

  • Publication number: 20110036369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for disguising dermatological blemishes on the skin of a patient. The method includes providing a viscous silicone material in a first container, and a catalyst in a second container. The silicone material, the catalyst, or both, is pre-tinted to match a selected skin tone of the patient. The silicone material may also have a flocking agent dispersed therein to provide texture. In this way, the silicone material will more easily blend in with the user's skin. The method also includes dispensing the silicone material and the catalyst from a dispensing gun, thereby mixing the silicone material and the catalyst into a silicone mixture for application and curing. The mixture is applied to the dermatological area of interest on the skin of the patient. Thereafter, the method includes allowing the silicone material to cure to form a translucent elastic layer.

  • Publication number: 20080317867
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cosmetic system for disguising dermatological blemishes. The cosmetic system includes a viscous silicone material and a catalyst. The silicone material is pigmented with a cosmetic pigment according to a selected skin tone. In one aspect, the cosmetic system also includes a flocking agent. The flocking agent is mixed within the silicone material or the catalyst to provide texture. The cosmetic system also includes at least two cartridges. The cartridges hold the viscous silicone material and the catalyst, separately. Optionally, the cosmetic system includes a dispensing gun. The dispensing gun has a tip through which the silicone material and the catalyst may be dispensed, whereupon the silicone material and the catalyst are mixed and applied to a user's skin for curing. A method for disguising dermatological blemishes is also provided herein.

  • Publication number: 20080046078
    Abstract: The present invention provides a silicone-based ocular prosthesis. In one aspect, the prosthesis includes a posterior sclera portion fabricated from a white-tinted silicone material. The sclera portion is formed from a molding process. The prosthesis also includes an anterior iris portion placed on the sclera portion. The prosthesis further includes a transparent layer over the sclera portion and the iris portion to provide a protective coating, and depth to the eye. Finally, a clear coat finish may optionally be applied to the prosthesis to create a realistic, wet look. A method for making the silicone-based ocular prosthesis using a molding process is also provided herein.
