Abstract
The present disclosure provides topical biophotonic materials and methods useful in phototherapy. In particular, the topical biophotonic materials of the present disclosure include a cohesive matrix, and at least one chromophore which can absorb and emit light from within the topical biophotonic material, wherein the topical biophotonic material is elastic. The topical biophotonic materials and the methods of the present disclosure are useful for promoting wound healing and skin rejuvenation, as well as treating acne and various other skin disorders.
Claims19
A method for biophotonic treatment of a skin disorder, the method comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over a target skin tissue, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- applying light through the biophotonic material, wherein the light has a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence that promotes healing of said skin disorder.
A method for biophotonic treatment of acne, the method comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over a target skin tissue, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- applying light through the biophotonic material, wherein the light has a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence that treats the acne.
A method for promoting skin rejuvenation, the method comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over a target skin tissue, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- applying light through the biophotonic material, wherein the light has a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence that promotes skin rejuvenation.
