Techniques for Forehead Wrinkle Treatment
7 patents in this list
Updated:
Forehead wrinkles present distinct treatment challenges due to their formation mechanisms and depth characteristics. Clinical studies show that dynamic forehead lines can reach depths of 0.5-2mm, with permanent wrinkles developing from repeated muscle contractions of the frontalis muscle group that exert forces of up to 0.3-0.4N/cm² on the overlying skin structure.
The fundamental challenge lies in achieving sustained wrinkle reduction while preserving natural facial movement and expression.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including targeted botulinum toxin delivery systems, biopolymer-based topical treatments, peptide formulations for collagen synthesis, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. These and other approaches focus on practical treatment options that can be implemented in clinical settings while maintaining patient safety and satisfaction.
1. Method for Skin Treatment Using Sequential Application of Sponge Extract and Botulinum Toxin
DERMATA THERAPEUTICS INC, 2023
A method for treating skin conditions like wrinkles, acne, and hair loss using a combination of sponge extract and botulinum toxin. The method involves applying a composition containing sponge extract to the skin followed by a composition with botulinum toxin. The sponge extract penetrates the skin and aids in delivering the botulinum toxin deeper into the dermis. This allows more effective treatment of skin conditions compared to topical botulinum toxin alone. The sponge extract is derived from freshwater sponges like Spongilla lacustris.
2. Forehead Mask and Patch with Biopolymer Network from Galactomannan, Roselle, and Sphingomonas Extracts
GUANGZHOU YUEHUI COSMETICS CO LTD, 2022
A forehead mask and patch for reducing wrinkles, lightening lines, and rejuvenating skin on the forehead. The mask contains extracts like galactomannan from trithorn honey locust seeds, roselle extract, and Sphingomonas fermentation extract. These ingredients form a biopolymer network, increase collagen synthesis, and boost moisture to lift wrinkles, replenish moisture, and improve skin elasticity. The mask can be applied directly to the forehead or used in a patch with a modified plant fiber base.
3. Matrixyl-Infused Cream Composition with Dual Peptide Formulation for Enhanced Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid Synthesis
SPENCER CLARK, 2019
Using Matrixyl creams and serums to reduce wrinkles when mixed with a base cream applied to skin. Matrixyl 3000 cream is mixed with the base cream to reduce facial wrinkles, while Matrixyl Synthe-6 cream is mixed with the base cream to reduce forehead and crow's feet wrinkles. This involves combining Matrixyl products with a base cream to enhance collagen, collagen IV, and hyaluronic acid synthesis in the skin, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
4. Facial Wrinkle Reduction Technique Using Manual Massage and Natural Paste Application
HEBEI UNITED UNIVERSITY, 2015
A facial wrinkle repair and protection method that uses natural methods to reduce facial wrinkles without cosmetic products. The method involves cleaning the face with warm water and mild soap to remove dirt and oil, then massaging the skin using finger pressure to open hair follicles and promote circulation. The forehead, eyes, and face areas are kneaded to restore elasticity and eliminate wrinkles. A paste is applied to the forehead and eye corners to provide hydration and reduce conglutination.
5. Transdermal Delivery System for Botulinum Toxin with Temporarily Disrupted Stratum Corneum
ALLERGAN INC, 2009
Topical application of botulinum toxin to treat disorders like wrinkles, headaches, and hyperhidrosis by using a transdermal delivery method. The technique involves temporarily disrupting the outermost layer of skin called the stratum corneum to enhance botulinum toxin penetration. This allows the toxin to reach subdermal structures like muscles, sweat glands, or sensory neurons. The disrupted skin barrier is restored afterwards. The transdermal botulinum toxin application provides targeted local effects without systemic absorption.
6. Method for Forehead Skin Elevation Using Minimal Incisions and Non-Absorbable Suture Loops
MAKARCHUK OLEKSANDR IVANOVYCH, MAKARCHUK ALEKSANDR IVANOVICH, MAKARCHUK OLEKSANDR IVANOVYCH, 2008
A minimally invasive method to eliminate forehead wrinkles without the trauma and complications of traditional forehead lift surgery. The method involves making three small incisions, two horizontal ones near the hairline and one vertical one between them. The skin is then lifted and secured in place using non-absorbable sutures that pass through the skin, fat, and fascia. The sutures are formed by making two punctures in each location and creating loops that are then connected. This lifts and tightens the forehead skin without the need for multiple cuts and internal reinforcement seams.
7. Topical Composition with Plant-Derived Sapogenins for Facial Wrinkle Smoothing
OREAL, 2007
A topical cosmetic treatment for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, particularly expression lines, that uses natural compounds derived from plants like yam tubers. The treatment involves applying a composition containing sapogenins, plant extracts with sapogenins, or sapogenin esters to the face and forehead areas with wrinkles. Sapogenins are compounds found in plants like yams that can relax facial muscles and reduce wrinkles when applied topically. The composition can contain ingredients like diosgenin extracted from yams, wild yam extract, or hecogenin acetate.
