摘要:
Scar tissue is reduced or inhibited by application of a composition containing lipoic acid and/or a lipoic acid derivative such as dihydrolipoic acid, a lipoic or dihydrolipoic acid ester, a lipoic or dihydrolipoic acid amide, a lipoic or dihydrolipoic acid salt, and mixtures of any of these. Some compositions further comprise α-hydroxy acids or acid derivatives such as glycolic and/or lactic acid, fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid such as ascorbyl palmitate, and/or tocotrienol. In some embodiments, a silicone gel sheet with added lipoic acid and/or a lipoic acid derivative and optional other ingredients is topically applied to scar tissue to diminish them.
摘要:
A method for the therapeutic treatment or prevention of radiation-induced skin damage, particularly ultraviolet-induced skin burn (e.g., sunburn), in which an alpha-hydroxy acid, or a derivative thereof, is topically applied to the affected skin areas. Glycolic acid is employed in a preferred embodiment.
摘要:
A method and composition for the cosmetic and therapeutic treatment or prevention of radiation-induced skin damage, in which a fat-soluble fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid is topically applied to the affected or involved skin areas, preferably in association with a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The preferred esters are the palmitate, laurate, myristate and stearate.
摘要:
A stable composition of a drug comprising a carrier having a phosphatidylcholine component which entraps the drug is applied to the skin for transdermal delivery of the drug.
摘要:
Topical application of compositions containing an alkanolamine such as dimethylaminoethanol increase smoothness and surface uniformity of hair and nails and enhances hair and nail growth. Application to the hair and underlying skin areas containing the hair bulbs, fingernails or toenails and paraungual areas containing the nail matrices increases the elasticity and enhances the luster of hair and nails, provides emolliency to their keratin matrix, and quells inflammation to promote superior keratin formation. Alkanolamine compositions contain at least one other adjunct ingredient such as tyrosine, lipoic acid, folic acid, an oz-hydroxy acid, or a fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid in most embodiments to augment beneficial effects of the treatments.
摘要:
Polyenylphosphatidylcholine is topically applied to treat skin damage, such as contact dermatitis (particularly diaper area dermatitis), atopic dermatitis, xerosis, eczema (including severe hand and foot eczema), rosacea, seborrhea, psoriasis, thermal and radiation burns, other types of skin inflammation, and aging. Typical compositions contain from about 0.25 % to about 10 % of a polyenylphosphatidylcholine preparation obtained form natural sources such as soybean oil which contains at least about 25 % by weight, preferably about 40 % or more, dilinoeoylphosphatidylcholine.
