The present invention provides a treatment for enhancing the ability of the body to heal wounds. A topical cream is described which improves blood flow by the transdermal delivery of the nitric oxide precursor L-Arginine either alone or with an adjunct, theophylline. The delivery of the active agents is accomplished by use of a vehicle which contains a hostile biophysical environment which is also hostile to hydrogen bond formation.

Methods are disclosed for administering electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which may include filtering EMR from part of the EMR spectrum while allowing passage of EMR at a desired wavelength range. Uses may include the treatment of such conditions as psoriasis, vitiligo, pruritus, acne, vitamin-D deficiency and atopic dermatitis. Topical creams, sprays, or other compositions may be used, with or without dosimeters, or in conjunction with an application, which calculates local UV exposure and other factors relating to dosage.

The present invention relates generally to the use of vitamin B12 (cobalamin or cyanocobalamin) alone or in combination with other photoprotective agents, including specifically other vitamins such as vitamin B9 (folic acid or folate) and vitamin B3 (niacin or niacinamide), or any chemical derivative of these vitamins and their salts, as a filter to protect cells against the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) light. The invention is, in one aspect, a method of reducing the rate of UV damage to cells exposed to a UV light source, by treating the cells with the vitamin composition, either alone or in combination with other photoprotective agents. Other aspects of the invention are compositions comprising effective amounts of vitamin B12 alone or in combination with other photoprotective agents including vitamin B9 and vitamin B3 and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, that are useful in protecting cells, particularly skin cells, against the burning, genotoxic (mutagenic and carcinogenic), immunosuppressive and photoaging effects of UV light, especially sunlight. The invention has application as a UV light filter in oral preparations including tablets and drinks, topical creams, lotions, sprays, wipes and cosmetics. The invention also has application as a medicinal treatment for dermatological conditions caused by exposure to sunlight, such as actinic keratoses, photodermatitis, photo-induced (discoid) lupus erythematosus and the photosensitizing effects of a variety of drugs used commonly in clinical practice (e.g. certain antihistamines, ACE inhibitors, and antibiotics such as tetracycline).

This invention reveals a novel skin-rejuvenating method that combines the application of light physics (a Light emitting diode (LED) device with specific wavelength, intensity, and pulsing frequency) and biochemistry (a specific collagenase inhibitor). The programmed LED light can penetrate skin epidermis and activate the fibroblasts in dermis to produce new collagen. Meanwhile, the overproduction of collagen leads to the feedback activation of collagenase, which degrades collagen and eliminates the beneficiary effects of LED light. Hence, this invention also includes a topical cream containing a certain lipophilic collagenase inhibitor, which, when used alone or in combination with the light device, can maintain high levels of skin collagen, and eventually achieve the long term effects of reducing wrinkles, enhancing skin elasticity, and diminishing eye bags and dark circles. The light device and active-containing cream have achieved positive effects when tested in human trials.

A body tissue treatment system comprising a heating device and a topical cream comprises controlled, non-burning heat exhibiting greater temperature fluctuation than a conventional heating device. At high temperature settings, the heating elements fluctuate widely between a relatively high maximum and low minimum to produce periods of intense heat input into the skin followed by sufficient cooling to prevent burning of the skin. Such application of intense heat to the skin, for short periods in which temperatures reach their peaks, relaxes musculature surrounding the injured area and significantly improves blood flow, skin permeability, and sweat gland openness in the area, which allows the topical cream to more readily penetrate skin and/or injured body tissues. While the skin temperature rises and falls to some extent in response to the heating device, the intense heating periods are believed to cause such high blood flow and consequent heat transfer away from the skin surface that the skin temperature does not rise to the extent of being damaged or burned.

Provided is a topical cream composition for the delivery of mometasone furoate comprising low dose mometasone furoate for the treatment of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses. The composition of the present invention can be safely applied over large surface areas of the skin (including areas with wrinkles and/or hair), and can be used therapeutically for extended periods of time (e.g., greater than 3 weeks). Treatment with the composition of the present invention carries reduced and/or fewer side effects compared with commercially available mometasone furoate cream products. The cream composition of the present invention is safe for the use of babies and infants under 2 years old. Additionally provided are methods of preparing and using the composition of the invention.

A Composition and Method of Pain Relief, Reduction of Inflammation, Maintenance of Joints, and Soothing Muscle Soreness which alleviates pain and inflammation from muscle strain, spasms, arthritis, and bursitis. The composition and method for alleviation of pain and inflammation generally includes a combination of Lidocaine HCL, camphor, menthol, Bisabolol, glucosamine hydrochloride (glucosamine HCI), chondroitin, and MSM, along with a number of other ingredients. The composition described and claimed herein has been shown to alleviate pain and inflammation from injuries and conditions such as muscle strains, spasms, arthritis, and bursitis. The composition will preferably be incorporated into a topical cream which may be applied to the skin around the affected area to provide not only immediate relief from pain and inflammation, but also long-lasting relief which may last for days or even weeks.

An article of clothing (14), such as shorts (2), shirts (7), leggings (10), arm sleeves (11), etc., having an outer layer of material (3) and an inner non-permeable liner (1) that either temporarily attaches to the outer layer by a temporary attachment means (15) or permanently attaches to the outer layer by a permanent attachment means (16). The inner non-permeable liner prevents topical creams applied to a user's skin from evaporating off of the user's skin. The inner non-permeable liner is available in different shapes to cover the different areas of the skin that patients have hair removed from. The outer layer is preferably made out of a material having elastomeric qualities that will ensure that the non-permeable liner is pressed firmly against the skin of a user. The outer perimeter (13) of the non-permeable liner may have a raised edge (4) and/or elastic (5) to ensure that the any cream applied to the skin of a user does not escape out of the sides of the non-permeable liner.

A topical cream to be applied to the clitoris and hood of the vaginal area to create an intense libido and drive for orgasm. The cream comprises a base cream having from about 9.5% to about 10%, by volume, of a steroid, based upon the total volume of the cream. Preferably, at least about 1% to about 10% by volume, of the steroid, based on the total volume of the cream. The topical cream may, also, include from about 0.1% to about 2.0%, by volume, of oxytocin. The addition of the small amount thereof enhances the efficacy of the cream.

The human body is mediated by a large number of chemicals and chemical processes where imbalances can result in abnormal conditions affecting part or all of the human body. Artificial drugs addressing specific diseases by targeting specific chemical imbalance(s) and/or process(es). For example, tofactinib is a JAK-STAT signaling pathway inhibitor beneficial for treating autoimmune diseases whilst baclofen acts as an agonist of GABA receptors. However, these are each prescribed in oral form leading to reduced efficacy or absorption by other regions of the patient. Accordingly, the inventor has established alternate dosing formats such a topical creams allowing local direct application allowing specific targeted delivery to the appropriate region of the patient's body as well their use, in the instances of tofactinib and baclofen, for the treatment of other diseases or conditions.
