Abstract:
The invention relates to an agent for promoting hair growth and/or reducing hair loss, containing compounds of formulae (I), (II) and/or (III). The invention also relates to a method for reducing hair loss and for promoting hair growth using said agent, and to uses of the compounds of formulae (I), (II) and/or (III) for promoting hair growth and/or reducing androgenic hair loss.
Abstract:
Tattoo inks are composed of pigments or dyes combined with a tattoo pigment vehicle which entraps, encases, incorporates, complexes, encapsulates, or is otherwise associated with the pigment to form pigment/vehicle complexes that retain the pigment in the tissue. The vehicle can be chosen so that pigments which alone are unsuitable for tattooing can be used for tattooing and optionally can be retained in the tissue permanently. Alternatively, the vehicle renders the tattoo erasable, wherein the tattoo disappears after imposition of an exogenous energy. Alternatively, the tattoo pigment vehicle renders the tattoo semi-permanent, so that the tattoo spontaneously disappears at a predetermined time.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the use in/for the preparation of a composition, as active principle in a physiologically acceptable medium, an efficient amount of at least a metalloproteinase inhibitor or any functional biological equivalent, for inducing and/or stimulating growth of hair or hairs and for slowing down their loss. The invention also concerns a method for the cosmetic treatment of hair or hairs.
Abstract:
