20090068255 | USE OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE INHIBITORS IN SKIN CARE - The application of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors to the skin inhibits the degradation of proteins found in the skin including collagen, elastin, and other basement membrane and extracellular matrix protein. MMP inhibitors may be used in both cosmetic compositions and pharmaceutical compositions for application to skin. MMP inhibitors are formulated with a cosmetically suitable vehicle or pharmaceutically acceptable excipient for application to the skin as creams, lotions, ointments, solutions, face masks, etc. As cosmetics, the inventive MMP inhibitor compositions are applied to the skin to prevent or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation changes, loss of elasticity, or other effects associated with aging or sun damage. As pharmaceuticals, the inventive MMP inhibitor compositions may also be applied to the skin to treat or prevent a skin disease (e.g., proliferative disease, inflammatory disease). | 03-12-2009 |
20090104136 | HAIR CARE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF TREATING HAIR USING SAME - The present invention provides kits and methods for treating hair on the scalp comprising non-toxic compositions providing beneficial effects on hair without employing high temperatures, free radical initiators or rinsing hair after applying the compositions. | 04-23-2009 |
20090145452 | DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE FOR TREATMENT OF SKIN AND HAIR - Devices and methods of use are disclosed for treating hair and/or skin. The devices include light sources or heat sources useful in activating polymerization initiators thereby polymerizing monomers in situ on skin or hair. Exemplary devices include hair brushes, eyelash brushes, curling irons, curlers, and flat irons. | 06-11-2009 |
20090191141 | HAIR CARE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF TREATING HAIR USING SAME - The present invention provides kits and methods for treating hair on the scalp comprising non-toxic compositions providing beneficial effects on hair without employing high temperatures, free radical initiators or rinsing hair after applying the compositions. | 07-30-2009 |
20090194125 | ULTRASOUND HAIR TREATMENT - The present invention relates to methods for the ultrasound enhancement of hair treatments, and to compositions and kits relating to said method. The invention further relates to ultrasonic devices for use in the methods. | 08-06-2009 |
20090220436 | IN SITU POLYMERIZATION FOR SKIN TREATMENT - Cosmetics represent a world-wide multi-billion dollar industry. The present invention provides technology for polymerizing monomers on skin in situ to produce desired skin characteristics. For example, the inventive system may be used to reduce the signs of aging or to protect the treated skin from UV light. The polymerization of monomers on skin is typically initiated using a thermal or photoinitiatied free radical initiator. In certain embodiments, the monomers are fluorinated thereby producing a fluorinated polymer on the skin upon polymerization. The invention provides monomers, initiators, methods, and kits for use in treating skin with polymers. | 09-03-2009 |

20110008265 | In Situ Polymerization For Hair Treatment - Hair care products represent a world-wide multi-billion dollar industry. Pre-formed polymers are commonly used in a variety of hair care products including shampoos, conditioners, gels, and hair sprays. The present invention provides technology for polymerizing monomers on hair in situ to produce desired hair characteristics. This eliminates the solubility and application issues found with some polymers. The polymerization of monomers on hair is typically initiated using a thermal or photoinitiated free radical initiator. In certain embodiments, the monomers are fluorinated thereby producing a fluorinated polymer on the hair upon polymerization. The invention provides monomers, initiators, methods, and kits for use in treating hair with polymers. | 01-13-2011 |
