USE OF ADHESIVE PATCH AND TENSION STRAP TO REDUCE WRINKLES IN SKIN

摘要

A wrinkle reducing pad is used to reduce wrinkles by applying tension to skin on a portion of the user's body, such as the face. An adhesive layer on the back of the wrinkle reducing pad is adhered to the skin, extending from a first point on the user's cheek, to a second point of the user's neck. A tension strap that is attached to one end of the adhesive pad is pulled to exert tension that tightly stretches the user's skin toward the neck. The tension strap is then removably secured to the outer surface of the adhesive pad while maintaining the tension for a desired period of time. Since the adhesive pad adheres to the skin on the neck between the two points, it prevents wrinkles from forming there as a result of the tension applied by the tension strap.

主权项

1. Apparatus for reducing wrinkles in a region of skin on a user, comprising:
(a) an adhesive pad having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and including an adhesive material on the first surface, the adhesive material being selected for removably adhering the adhesive pad to the skin of the user; (b) a tension strap having a fixed end that is attached to the second surface of the adhesive pad at one of the first end and the second end of the adhesive pad, and a free end opposite the fixed end, the free end of the tension strap being pulled for creating a desired tension on the skin adjacent to where the adhesive pad is adhered; and (c) an attachment material that removably secures the free end of the tension strap to the upper surface of the adhesive pad at a position that maintains the desired tension created in the skin of the user by the tension strap, the attachment material being applied to at least one of:
(i) an undersurface of the tension strap; and(ii) the second surface of the adhesive pad.
