Claims68
A composition of matter comprising a cosmetic agent and at least one stinging capsule.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient a cosmetic agent, at least one stinging capsule and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
A delivery device comprising:
- (a) at least one stinging capsule capable of delivering upon discharge liquid disposed in or around said at least one stinging capsule into a tissue;
- and
- (b) a support being for:
- (i) supporting said at least one stinging capsule;
- and
- (ii) applying said at least one stinging capsule to an outer surface of said tissue.
A method of delivering a cosmetic agent into a tissue, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a composition of matter including the cosmetic agent disposed in or around at least one stinging capsule to an outer surface of the tissue;
- and
- (b) triggering a discharge of said at least one stinging capsule to thereby deliver the cosmetic agent into the tissue.
A method of delivering a cosmetic agent into a tissue, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a composition including, as an active ingredient, at least one cosmetic agent onto an outer surface of the tissue;
- (b) applying at least one stinging capsule to said outer surface of the tissue;
- and
- (c) triggering a discharge of said at least one stinging capsule to thereby deliver the cosmetic agent into the tissue.
A method of preparing a delivery device, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) isolating an intact stinging cell or stinging capsule from an organism;
- and
- (b) treating said stinging cell or said stinging capsule under conditions which inactivate an endogenous toxin stored therein yet do not trigger discharge or breakdown of said stinging cell or said stinging capsule, to thereby obtain the delivery device.
A delivery device comprising an isolated stinging cell, wherein an endogenous toxin stored therein is non-functional.
A delivery device comprising an isolated stinging capsule, wherein an endogenous toxin stored therein is non-functional.
A composition of matter comprising a cosmetic agent and at least one isolated stinging capsule.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient a cosmetic agent, at least one isolated stinging capsule and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
A delivery device comprising:
- (a) at least one isolated stinging capsule capable of delivering upon discharge liquid disposed in or around said at least one stinging capsule into a tissue;
- and
- (b) a support being for:
- (i) supporting said at least isolated one stinging capsule;
- and
- (ii) applying said at least one stinging capsule to an outer surface of said tissue.
A method of delivering a cosmetic agent into a tissue, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a composition of matter including the cosmetic agent disposed in or around at least one isolated stinging capsule to an outer surface of the tissue;
- and
- (b) triggering a discharge of said at least one isolated stinging capsule to thereby deliver the cosmetic agent into the tissue.
A method of delivering a cosmetic agent into a tissue, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a composition including, as an active ingredient, at least one cosmetic agent onto an outer surface of the tissue;
- (b) applying at least one isolated stinging capsule to said outer surface of the tissue;
- and
- (c) triggering a discharge of said at least one isolated stinging capsule to thereby deliver the cosmetic agent into the tissue.
A delivery device comprising:
- (a) a plurality of stinging capsules capable of delivering upon discharge a dye disposed in or around said plurality of stinging capsules into a tissue;
- and
- (b) a support being for:
- (i) supporting said plurality of stinging capsules;
- and
- (ii) applying said plurality of stinging capsules to an outer surface of said tissue.
