Abstract
The hydroxystilbenes are effective collagen-synthesizing, and/or fibroblast-proliferating, and/or protease expression-inhibiting, and/or skin aging-combating, and/or flaccid/wrinkled skin-treating, and/or skin-smoothing/firming, and/or menopausal cutaneous effect-treating, and/or menopausal collagen/fibroblast effects-treating active agents, for topical application onto the skin and/or mucous membranes of a human subject in need of such treatment(s).
Claims14
A method for stimulating the synthesis of collagen in the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective collagen-synthesizing amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
A method for stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts in the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective fibroblast-proliferating amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
A method for inhibiting the expression of proteases of the extracellular matrix in the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective protease expression-inhibiting amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
A method for treating the cutaneous signs of aging of the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective amount of at least one hydroxystilbene to treat the cutaneous signs of skin aging.
A method for treating the flaccid and/or wrinkled skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an amount of at least one hydroxystilbene effective to treat said flaccid and/or wrinkled skin.
A method for stimulating the toning of the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective skin-toning amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
A method for promoting the smoothing and/or firming of the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response an effective skin-smoothing/firming amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
A method for treating adverse cutaneous effects of menopause, comprising topically applying to the skin of a human subject in need of such treatment, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
A method for treating adverse effects of menopause on the collagen and/or fibroblasts of the dermis of a human subject in need of such treatment, comprising topically applying to said skin, for such period of time as required to elicit the desired response, an effective amount of at least one hydroxystilbene.
