Abstract
Provided is a method for enhancing and accelerating the repair of chronic cellular and molecular damage to skin. Also provided is a method for thinning stratum corneum of mammalian, preferably human, skin thickened by extrinsic free radicals and restoring elastic tissue damaged by extrinsic free radicals. Both methods comprise the topical administration to mammalian, preferably human, skin of a composition comprising selenoamino acids in a pharmaceutically acceptable transdermal carrier.
Claims18
A method for enhancing and accelerating the repair of chromic cellular and molecular damage to mammalian skin, the method comprising topical administration to skin requiring such repair of a composition consisting essentially of selenoamino acids in pharmaceutically acceptable transdermal carrier, wherein the selenoamino acids are present at a concentration by weight of at least about 0.05% based on the total weight of the composition.
A method for thinning stratum corneum of mammalian skin thickened by extrinsic free radicals and restoring elastic tissue damaged by extrinsic free radicals, the method comprising topical administration to mammalian skin requiring such thinning and restoring of a composition consisting essentially of selenoamino acids in a pharmaceutically acceptable transdermal carrier, wherein the selenoamino acids is present at a concentration by weigh of at least about 0.05% based on the total weight of the composition.
