Methods of Treating Wrinkles, Developing Wrinkle Treatments And Evaluating Treatment Efficacy, Based On Newly Discovered Similarities Between Wrinkles And Skin Wounds

摘要

Disclosed are methods of measuring an endogenous wrinkle electric field and methods of characterizing topical applications, or other treatments, in terms of their effect on the endogenous electric field of wrinkles. Also included, are methods of developing topical applications, or other treatments that have a desired effect on the endogenous electric field of a wrinkle. The methods disclosed herein, are based on a new model of wrinkle physiology that exploits previously unknown similarities between skin wounds and wrinkles.

主权项

1. A method of characterizing the electric field that arises specifically from a skin wrinkle, comprising:
measuring the endogenous wrinkle electric field; noting the intensity and/or polarity of the electric potential that arises from the wrinkle; and associating a more negative reading with a more severe wrinkle or a less negative reading with a less severe wrinkle.
