Embodiment 1

[0042] Use of a Spongilla composition as a skin smoother

[0043] A sufficient amount of substantially pure Spongilla powder to treat the face (approximately 0.5 grams of Spongilla powder for the face), chest, neck, décolleté, or other area of ​​skin to be treated is mixed with a carrier in a ratio of 1:2 or greater, until the resulting mixture (resurfacing treatment) appears as a thin paste with a fairly homogeneous consistency. Exemplary carriers include, but are not limited to, gels, water, oils, hydrogen peroxide or other liquids.

[0044] Apply a quarter amount of the paste (mask) to the mid-forehead by massaging in circular motions. Using even pressure, gently smooth mask down hairline with fingertips in small circular motions. Repeat as the mask on the applied area begins to dry, moving down to temples, cheeks, nose and chin. Desirable mild to moderate erythema resulting from increased circulation. During application and after removing the mask, a tingling sensati...

Embodiment 2

[0052] Clinical Experience

[0053] A healthy glow is evident immediately after application due to enhanced blood circulation in the treated skin. The bone needles that penetrate the epidermis demonstrate their presence and effectiveness through a characteristic tingling sensation to the touch. Skin erythema and skin tingling gradually subside over the next 12-24 hours. This rare feedback subsided within the first two days as the spicules began to fall off. Over the next 2-4 days, these microscopic spicules slowly separate aging cells from the new underlying skin cells, enhancing exfoliation. The skin heals and regenerates under the protective but soon-to-slough outer layer of the stratum corneum. This way, new skin cells have both time and the optimum environment to mature before being exposed to the harsh environment. On day five, exfoliate these ready-to-slough cells with a common scrub. The resurfacing of the subject's face with the dermabrasion composition of the p...

One disclosed embodiment is derived from Spongilla species and is formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on 35 U.S.C. §119(e) claiming the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60 / 828,324, filed October 5, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to dermabrasive compositions suitable for the treatment of skin disorders. In particular, the skin smoothing compositions of the present invention are purified from freshwater sponges of the Phylum Pohfera. The skin smoothing compositions of the present invention are applied topically for the treatment of a variety of skin conditions and diseases. Background of the invention [0004] One manifestation of aging skin is a reduced ability to shed dead cells, which leads to a variety of unsightly skin conditions. The primary means of topical treatment of photoaged skin is chemical peeling. Chemical peeling is a procedure in which topically applied traumatic agents p...
