Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates generally to treatment arrangement provided for improvement of human skin conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Wrinkle and fine lines appear when skin condition deteriorates. Different formulae or compositions of skin treatment agents are provided in the market aimed to relief skin wrinkle, reduce scar or other deterioration effects. It is an objective of this invention to provide an improved skin treatment arrangement that helps the skin treatment agents available in the market to achieve better treatment effect. It is also an objective of this invention to provide an improved skin treatment arrangement that helps to relief skin fine lines and wrinkles appears on human face. Another particular objective of this invention is to provide a skin treatment arrangement suitable for overnight application. It is a further objective of this invention to provide an easy to operate design that reduces a skin wrinkle line by stretching the two sides of the wrinkle line under treatment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a skin treatment arrangement provided to improve skin condition with consistent mechanical stretching force in a desired direction to the region of the skin under treatment. The skin treatment arrangement is applicable to help surgical wound to recover and to reduce the amount of scar formed. In a further application, the present invention is provided to supplement skin treatment agent available in the market, so as to provide enhanced treatment effect. More particularly, the present invention is directed to help relieving formation of wrinkle or fine lines appeared on the skin of human face by stretching the two sides of the wrinkle line. According to a further research of the invention, an easy to operate design is provided to stretch the skin for extended time by a simple pressing or squeezing motion. The term skin treatment arrangement is defined as a setup of one or more treatment members configured to make physical contact with skin surface and to improve conditions of the skin.

In a first embodiment, an attachment member is provided to represent the structural member of the treatment arrangement. Attachment member in general is hereby defined as the structural member that is attached to the surface of human skin during treatment. Attaching means are provided at positions A and B, located around the two ends of the attachment member. The attaching means are designed for adhering the attachment member with the skin surface under treatment. Accordingly the generic term attaching means is defined as any design and/or method configured for adhering or securing the attachment member with the surface of human skin. The attaching means located at positions A and B are separated by a first distance D1 apart to provide an initial mode. The positions A and B can be extended or stretched in a treatment mode to provide a distance D2 apart, wherein D2 is longer than D1. Initial mode is defined as the mode of the human skin treatment arrangement before the distance between positions A and B is extended. Initial mode is the default condition of the skin treatment arrangement before it is applied to treat the skin. Treatment mode is defined as the mode of the human skin treatment arrangement after the distance between positions A and B is extended to a longer distance apart than that of the initial mode. In between the positions A and B is a treatment portion to provide treatment for the skin. This is also the area for receiving or applying a treatment agent when it is desirable. Treatment portion is defined as a portion of the human skin treatment arrangement configured to accommodate treatment agent for treatment of the skin surface. Treatment portion may be structured as an integral part of the attachment member, or a part separated from the attachment member. In another embodiment, built-in treatment agent is embedded in the treatment portion during the manufacturing process of the attachment member. Built-in treatment agent in general is defined as the treatment agent that was factory applied to the treatment means before the human skin treatment arrangement is provided to the end user. Examples of typical treatment agents are the agent formulated for reduction of scar, relieving of wrinkle lines, fine lines and for medical treatment of skin infection.

During an application process of the first embodiment, the attachment means located at positions A and B are positioned across the skin treatment area, pressed and adhered to the surface of the skin, so as for the treatment portion to make contact with the skin surface under treatment. The positions A and B are then stretched, or extended to a longer distance D2 apart, where D2 is longer than D1. It is essential for the attachment member to have at least an elastic or flexible portion located in between the positions A and B, so as for the attachment member to be stretched or extended. The longer distance D2 of positions A and B during the treatment mode is maintained by a distance maintenance means. Distance maintenance means is therefore defined as any design and/or method configured for securing the longer distance D2 between the positions A and B during the treatment mode. Usually the distance maintenance means comprises an elastic member, which provides adequate stretch force to maintain the extended distance D2 between positions A and B during the treatment mode. Proper amount of stretch force and the amount of extension of the attachment member during the treatment mode are the variables to be properly determined in the design process of the distance maintenance means in order to provide optimal treatment effect. These variables are particularly important when the skin treatment arrangement is provided to reduce scar during wound recovering. Stretch force is determined by the elastic force provided by the distance maintenance means. Extension range is determined by the stretch or extension limitation provided by the mechanical design of the distance maintenance means. The term “Extension Ratio” represented by the symbol “R” is defined as the ratio between the D2 distance during the treatment mode and the D1 distance during the initial mode. Accordingly R is defined by the equation R=D2/D1. The ratio R is an important parameter in the design of attachment member, because different values of R are required to treat different kinds of wrinkle lines or scar during the different stages of the treatment process.

There are different ways to securely attach the attachment member with the skin surface. The first method is by adhesive. The adhesive should be carefully formulated to avoid sensitivity reaction, such as rash of the skin. The adhesive should also be composed to endure reasonable skin surface excretion such as oil or sweating, for at least several hours. Accordingly the statement for an “attaching means to be configured for adhering an attachment member to the surface of human skin” is defined by the following two characteristics:

• • (a) The attaching means should be free from creating adverse reaction to the skin during the specified treatment period; and
  • (b) The attaching means should be able to maintain a reasonable adhesive force between the attachment member and the skin in the stretched treatment mode during the specified treatment period.For a skin treatment arrangement configured for overnight treatment, the desirable treatment period can be specified to be at least seven hours.

When the skin treatment arrangement is provided to treat wounds, or to reduce scar in surgical operation, the attachment member can be stitched to the surface of the skin under treatment. When stitching process is applied, it is required that the material used to manufacture the attachment member to be suitable for the stitching process.

According to the different embodiments of the invention, different kinds of distance maintenance means are illustrated. In a first embodiment, the distance maintenance means is represented by a single formed spring wire. Both terminal ends of the wire are to be received by two receivers located at the end of the attachment member to provide the stretched treatment mode. In a second preferred embodiment, the distance maintenance means is characterized by two plastic portions protruded towards the sides of the attachment member. Transforming the initial mode into the treatment mode is achieved by squeezing the two protruded portions. In a third preferred embodiment, a single plastic portion protruded outward from the non-treatment surface of the attachment member is provided. Transforming the initial mode into the treatment mode is achieved by pushing or pressing the protruded portion towards the skin surface under treatment. In another further embodiment, multiple distance maintenance means are provided in a row on top of an attachment member to provide a larger treatment area.

Several methods to connect the distance maintenance means with the attachment member are disclosed. In a first arrangement, both ends of the distance maintenance means are separated from the attachment member. In a second design, one end of the distance maintenance means is secured to the attachment member by stitching, molding or welding process. In a third design, both ends of the distance maintenance means are secured to the attachment member when it is manufactured.

Different embodiments of the attachment member is characterized by the different shapes and dimensions of the attachment member, so as for it to suit for different application environments. For some typical standard size designs, the dimension of the D2 is usually shorter than one inch. In rare application situations for treatment of large surface area, D2 separation of up to 2 inches is possible. In another preferred embodiment, the attachment member is designed to provide a curved shape, so as for it to fit typical curved wrinkle lines appeared on the human face located on the two sides of the mouth area. In yet another preferred embodiment, the attachment member is provided in the form of a row. The attachment member is cut from the row according to the length of the wound, or scar to be treated. Another attachment member embodiment configured in the shape of a mask is also disclosed to treat wrinkle lines of the whole face, all at one time. The guideline is that the area of service provided by the attachment member should be of customary shape adequate to cover the shape and size of the wrinkle lines, wound or other skin surface under treatment.

During the research of the subject invention it was discovered that variables such as attachment members of different shapes, dimensions, different stretch force and different R factors are required for treatment of different types of wrinkle lines or wounds. In some special applications, the R factor is to be gradually reduced or increased during the whole treatment process to provide the optimal treatment effect. Accordingly different types of skin treatment retail packages are to be provided, each with a collection of attachment members of different characteristics, suitable for a specific treatment objective. In another skin treatment retail package, the different treatment agents are separated from the attachment members so that the user has the flexibility to determine which treatment agent and the amount of dose to be applied. Due to the complexity of selecting the proper application arrangement according to all these variables, it is also important for the skin treatment retail package to provide adequate instruction informing the user how to select the most appropriate attachment member during a particular time of the treatment process. In particular, the skin treatment retail package instruction should also provide information to the user that the positions A and B of said attachment member should be applied across the wrinkle line or fine line of the human skin to be treated; and that the direction of positions A and B of said attachment member should be properly aligned to be perpendicular to the wrinkle line or fine lines under treatment. These information are required for the user to achieve optimal skin treatment effects.

The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention will best be understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Attention is initially directed to FIG. 1a, which is the sectional view of a first embodiment 100 of the treatment arrangement. The application example is to treat wrinkle of human skin 108. The treatment arrangement 100 comprises an attachment member 101. At the two ends of the attachment member 101 are the attaching means 102 and 103 locating at positions A1 and B1. In between positions A1 and B1 is a treatment portion 106. On the other side of the attachment member 101 are the first two distance maintenance members 104 and 105. The distance between A1 and B1 is represented by a distance D1 apart. The view 120 illustrates a sectional view of a portion of human skin under treatment. The human skin section illustrated a skin layer 108 and the tissue layer 109. In between the surfaces 111, 112 of the skin layer 108 is a recess region 110. This recess region represents the sectional view of a wrinkle line appeared on the surface of the skin. In a treatment process, a wrinkle treatment agent that helps to relief the wrinkle 110 is pre-applied to the surface of the wrinkle line 110. Alternately the treatment agent is pre-applied to the treatment portion 106. The attachment member 101 is then applied in the direction 107 towards the surface of the wrinkle line 110. FIG. 1b illustrates the condition when the treatment portion 106 is in touch with the wrinkle line 110. In a typical arrangement, the attaching means 102 and 103 are provided with adhesive suitable for adhering the attachment member 101 with the surface of human skin. Design of the attaching means such as selection of adhesive material is important. Since the adhesion is required to maintain the D2 distance as well as the stretch force of the skin during the long treatment period, the design and adhesive material selected should not cause adverse side effect, such as rash to the skin of the user. The design is also required to withstand reasonable change of skin conditions, especially those caused by reasonable excretion of skin oils or sweating. It should be noted that the attaching means 102 and 103 should be located on the two sides of the wrinkle line 110, so as for the treatment portion 106 to positioned on top of the wrinkle line 110. The treatment portion is preferably to comprise an elastic and absorbent material such as medical grade spongy material so as to absorb the treatment agent; and also to maintain the pressure of treatment agent towards the wrinkle portion 110 of the skin during the treatment process. A spongy material provided as the treatment portion is optional when the treatment agent is applied directly to the surface of the skin prior to treatment. FIG. 1c illustrates the effect that the spongy treatment portion 106 is compressed in between the attachment member 101 and the skin surface 108, after the attachment means 102, 103 are adhered with the skin surface. The attachment member 101 is then stretched towards the directions 121, 122 such that the skin surfaces located on the two sides of the wrinkle line 110 is pulled apart towards the positions A2 and B2. The distance D2 between the positions A2 and B2 during the treatment mode is longer that the distance D1 of the initial mode. This process allows the depth of the wrinkle line to be reduces and for the inner surface of the wrinkle line to make better contact with the treatment agent. The user is recommended to leave the treatment overnight in the stretched treatment mode. The invented treatment arrangement of FIG. 1c provides significant better treatment result to relief wrinkle or fine lines than the traditional arrangement of applying just the treatment agent alone.

FIG. 2 illustrates a first embodiment of distance maintenance means to keep the longer distance D2 during the treatment mode. A third distance maintenance member 201 in the shape of a curved spring wire is provided to engage with the first two distance maintenance members 104 and 105. The three members 201, 104 and 105 formed the distance maintenance means of the subject embodiment. The terminal ends 203, 202 of the spring wire 201 are configured to engage with the members 104, 105 respectively. The spring force of the wire 201 provides the force to pull the positions A1, B1 of the attachment member 101 apart. It should be noted that the attachment member 101 should provide at least one elastic region in between the positions A1 and B1 so as for the attachment member to be extended. The extension force is determined by the material and geometry of the spring wire 201. The range of extension is a variable determined by the extension force of the spring wire, the elasticity of the attachment member and that of the skin. FIG. 3 illustrated an alternate embodiment having the terminal end 302 fix with the end of the attachment member 101. This can be achieved by molding, glue, sonic welding or stitch processes. An alternate design is to provide molded plastic material instead of metal wire for the third distance maintenance member. All these different embodiments and any other designs capable to accomplish similar results are to be encompassed by the definition of distance maintenance means defined herein.

In another preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b, the design of the distance maintenance means is configured to provide a predetermined extension distance D2. The distance maintenance means 402 is preferred to be manufactured with injection molded flexible or elastic plastic materials. The two ends 405, 406 of the distance maintenance means 402 is fix to the attachment member 401 by any suitable design such as stitches or sonic welding. The distance maintenance means 402 comprises two protruded side portions 403 and 404 that characterized the initial mode. After the embodiment of FIG. 4a is applied to the skin area under treatment, the protruded side portions 403 and 404 are squeezed to a situation as shown in FIG. 4b. The squeeze motion extends the length of the distance maintenance means in the directions 411 and 412. Accordingly the positions A1 and B1 of the attachment member 401 is extended to the positions A2 and B2, which defines the stretched distance D2 for the treatment mode. When the initial mode 400 of FIG. 4a is transformed into the treatment mode of FIG. 4b, the maximum distance D2 is limited to point when the side portions 403, 404 touch each other. The advantage offered by this design is that the amount of extension from D1 to D2 is predictable. This extension distance can then be fined tuned and perfectly controlled in the design stage to provide the optimal treatment effect. According to the research of the invention, a term “Extension Ratio” is formed. This ratio is represented by the symbol R, as defined by the equation R=D2/D1. For simplicity, the extension ratio is termed as the R ratio hereunder. Clinical study is required to determine the best value of R ratio for different relief applications as well as to treat different degree of wrinkle. According to the research result of this invention, a treatment arrangement applying a higher value of R is provided to treat severe wrinkle lines on the face. After a first stage treatment for around one week is completed, the treatment is switched to apply attachment members of lower R ration. The R ratio of attachment member can be gradually reduced to a much smaller number when the wrinkle condition significantly improves. Attention is now directed to FIG. 9a, which illustrated another embodiment with predetermined R ratio. As compared with two protruded side portions, the distance maintenance means comprises only one protruded portion 902. Extension of the attachment member 901 is provided by pushing or pressing the protruded portion 902 from the direction 907. FIG. 9b illustrated the side view of the embodiment 900 in the treatment mode. The R ratio is determined by the geometry of the protruded portion 902.

FIG. 5 a illustrates typical wrinkle and fines lines appeared on aged face skin. A scar 507 resulted from a wound is also illustrated. The most common wrinkle lines are the horizontal wrinkle lines 508 located on the forehead area, the vertical wrinkle lines 501, 502 located above the nose and between the eyebrows, and the curved lines 505, 506 located on both sides of the mouth. Fine lines 503 and 504 may also be found next to the eyes as illustrated. Because wrinkle lines are of different shapes and lengths, a single fixed size attachment member design is not efficient to service their different needs. Accordingly attachments members of different shapes and extension characteristics are recommended for a skin treatment retail package to treat wrinkle lines of different shapes. FIG. 5b illustrates the sectional view of the scar 507. The scar is formed by thicker skin tissue 515 grown on the skin surface 511, 512 after a wound was cured. The invention research indicated that it is desirable to combine the invented skin treatment arrangement with scar reduction treatment agent to reduce the amount of scar formed during the recovery period of the wound. According to the research study of this invention, the proper time to apply the skin treatment arrangement is around three days to one week after the wound is stitched, depends on the dimension of the wound. In contrast to the treatment of wrinkle lines, attachment member of lower R ratio is first applied to new stitched wounds. The R ratio is gradually increased when the wound cures. Since the initiation to provide attachment members of different R ratios was established, embodiments to provide attachment members of different R ratios were provided, and the importance of providing different R ratios during a treatment process was discovered, the next step is to provide attachment members of different R ratios in a retail treatment package. Properly, configuring the content of a skin treatment retail package is an important part of this invention. Skin treatment retail package is defined as a collection of components suitable for achieving at least a specific treatment objective and the collection of components are packaged together suitable for retail purpose, such as direct to customer retail sales or retail point of sale. In a first typical skin treatment retail package arrangement, the treatment agent is provided in a container separated from the attachment member, so that the user is free to apply the treatment agent on the surface of skin or the treatment portion before the attachment is applied to the skin. With this design, the user has the control to adjust the amount of treatment agent for each treatment process. In a second typical skin treatment retail package arrangement, an assortment of different shape/size attachment members are provided for treating wrinkle lines of different shapes and sizes. In another embodiment of skin treatment retail package arrangement, attachment members of different R ratios are provided.

Attention is now drawn to FIG. 6, which illustrates an alternate embodiment having multiple treatment portions 604 and 605. In this design three attaching means 606, 607 and 608 are provided for better adhesion effect. This embodiment is an example of specialty attachment member design, particularly suitable for treatment of the wrinkle lines 501 and 502 illustrated in FIG. 5a. FIG. 7 illustrated another alternate embodiment having a generic attachment member 701. Beneath the attachment member 701 is a layer of attaching means 702. Treatment portions 704, 706 are provided to supplement the treatment arrangement. Built-in treatment agent 705, 707 may be provided to the treatment portions 704, 706. Alternately, the user may elect to apply treatment agent, such as those provided in the tube 804 to the skin surface directly or to the contact surface of the treatment portion 803 as illustrated in FIG. 8. According to a first application of the design, treatment portion 803 with built in treatment agent, separated from the attachment member 801, is first applied onto the treatment area of the skin surface. The attachment member 801 is then applied to cover the treatment portion. The advantage of this design enables a user to accurately place the treatment portion on top of the spot to be treated. In a second application of the design, treatment portion 704 and/or 705 are applied to adhere with the attachment member 701 first, the assembly is then applied to the treatment area as previously described. The first advantage of this embodiment is that multiple treatment portions can be applied to the attachment body 701 to enlarge the treatment area. The second advantage is that treatment portion 705, 706 with different treatment characteristics, such as different composition or different dose of treatment agent may be provided in a skin treatment retail package allowing the user to determine which type of treatment portion, and which application process is most appropriate for the treatment process.

FIG. 9 a and FIG. 9b illustrate an alternate embodiment, which provides simpler operation process than the other embodiments previously discussed. This embodiment also provides treatment arrangement with predetermined R ratio. Instead of providing segments of attaching means, a layer of attaching means 905 is provided. The treatment portion 906 is a very soft spongy material such that the pushing motion in the direction 907 will securely adhere the attaching means 905 with the skin surface before stretching motion of FIG. 9b is started. The process to transform the initial mode of FIG. 9a into the treatment mode of FIG. 9b is achieved by pushing the protruded distance maintenance means 902 in the direction 907.

FIG. 10 a shows the top view of an alternate embodiment that provides a long strip of attachment member 1001. This design is to service skin treatment of extended size, such as long scars. The two edges 1002 and 1003 are provided with attaching means on the skin contact side. On top of the attachment member 1001 are rows of distance maintenance means 1004 to 1005, each is similar in design to the protruded member 902 of FIG. 9a. The treatment arrangement may be supplied in the form of a row. The appropriate length of attachment member is cut as need according to the length of the wound or scar to be treated. The segment of treatment member is then aligned in parallel with the scar such that the attaching means are positioned on the two sides of the scar. After pressing the attaching means to securely adhered with the skin surface, each distance maintenance means 1004 to 1005 is pushed or pressed so that the width of the attachment member extends in the direction 1105 and 1106 as shown in FIG. 10b to form the treatment mode. FIG. 11 illustrated another embodiment provided with a attachment member having a curved foot print. This design can be specifically dimensioned to treat a typical long curve wrinkle such as the lines 505 and 506 of FIG. 5a. Alternately this embodiment can be alternately dimensioned to treat predetermined surgical wound or scar such as the surgical wound required to deliver a baby. In surgical application, it is possible for the surgeon to stitch the treatment arrangement of FIG. 10a and FIG. 11 onto the wound so as to provide a long lasting adhesive force between the treatment member and the skin under treatment.

FIG. 12 a illustrated another embodiment suitable to treat multiple wrinkle lines of a face. The attachment member is provided in the shape of a mask. Opening 1202, 1203, 1204 and 1205 are provided for the positions of the eyes, nose and the mouth. Beneath the mask is a layer of attaching means, which is also compounded to provide the effect of treatment agent. This layer is configured to provide both the adhesive and treatment purposes. An improved version of the mask is preferred to be transparent or semi transparent, such that the wrinkle lines are visible after the mask is adhered to the surface of the skin. Rows of distance maintenance means 1206, 1207, 1208 and 1209 are applied to extend the region of attachment member on the two sides of the wrinkle lines under treatment. FIG. 12b illustrates an embodiment of the distance maintenance means suitable for the mask shape of attachment member shown in FIG. 12a. The two sides 1282 and 1283 are squeezed before applied to the mask, along the wrinkle line. When the squeeze motion is released, the skin surface across the wrinkle line is extended to provide the treatment mode. Because each distance maintenance member comprises two sharp points to work with the mask, two steps were developed during the research of this embodiment to provide a safe design. The first step is the addition of an elastic protective layer in between the top layer of attachment member and the bottom layer of attaching means. The second step is to increase the thickness of the attachment member to over 1 mm. It should also be noted that the embodiment of FIG. 12b is exemplary, any design meeting the definition of distance maintenance means are to be encompassed in the scope of the subject claims.

From the foregoing, it should now be appreciated that applicant has disclosed herein embodiments of a complete skin treatment arrangement suitable for enhancing treatment result of deteriorated skin, such as wrinkle lines or scar of wounds. Although detailed embodiments of the invention have been disclosed, it is recognized that variations and modifications, all within the spirit of the invention, will occur to those skilled in the art. It is accordingly intended that all such variations and modifications be encompassed by the appended claims.
