Abstract
The present disclosure provides biophotonic materials and methods useful in phototherapy. In particular, the biophotonic materials of the present disclosure include a cohesive matrix, and at least one chromophore, wherein the at least one chromophore can absorb and emit light from within the biophotonic material. The 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 skin disorders.
Claims33
A biophotonic material, said biophotonic material comprising:
- a cohesive matrix, and
- at least one chromophore, wherein the at least one chromophore can absorb and emit light from within the biophotonic material.
A biophotonic material for phototherapy, said biophotonic material comprising at least one chromophore in a carrier medium, wherein the carrier medium can form a cohesive matrix containing the at least one chromophore and wherein the at least one chromophore can absorb and emit light within the cohesive matrix when illuminated with light.
25-27. (canceled)
A container comprising:
- a sealed chamber for holding a biophotonic material, and
- an outlet in communication with the chamber for discharging the biophotonic material from the container, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore in a carrier medium which can form a cohesive matrix after being discharged from the sealed chamber.
A kit comprising:
- a first component comprising a first chromophore;
- and
- a second component comprising a thickening agent, wherein the thickening agent can form a cohesive matrix when mixed with the first component.
A method for biophotonic treatment of a skin disorder comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over a target skin tissue, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- illuminating said biophotonic material with light having a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence at a wavelength and intensity that promotes healing of said skin disorder.
A method for biophotonic treatment of acne comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over a target skin tissue, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- illuminating said biophotonic material with light having a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence at a wavelength and intensity that treats the acne.
A method for promoting wound healing comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over or within a wound, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- illuminating said biophotonic material with light having a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence at a wavelength and intensity that promotes wound healing.
A method for promoting skin rejuvenation comprising:
- placing a biophotonic material over a target skin tissue, wherein the biophotonic material comprises at least one chromophore and a cohesive matrix;
- and
- illuminating said biophotonic material with light having a wavelength that overlaps with an absorption spectrum of the at least one chromophore;
- wherein said biophotonic material emits fluorescence at a wavelength and intensity that promotes skin rejuvenation.
