An instrument and technique for the removal of epidermal layers in a controlled manner utilizing a hand-held instrument with a working end that (i) a vacuum aspiration system, (ii) a source for delivery of a sterile fluids or pharmacological agents to the skin; and (iii) a skin interface surface in the working end that has specially shape structure for abrading surface layers of the patient's epidermis as the working end is moved over the patient's skin while at the same time causing rapid penetration of the fluids into the skin for therapeutic purposes. Movement of the working end across the skin causes abrasion of the surface layers in a path over the patient's skin. The method of the invention may be used in a periodic treatment for the removal of superficial skin layers that enhances the synthesis of dermal collagen aggregates by inducing the body's natural wound healing response. The method of the invention creates more normal dermal architectures in skin with limited depths of skin removal by the series of superficial treatments that may be comparable to the extent of neocollagenesis caused by a deep skin removal treatment (e.g., CO2 laser skin removal).

The present disclosure relates to a polycaprolactone microsphere containing vitamin C, a filler including the same and a preparation method therefor. Provided is a polycaprolactone microsphere filler obtained by encapsulating vitamin C in polycaprolactone microspheres, which, when injected into a living body, exhibits a rapid collagen formation effect as well as a high tissue restoration property and maintains the effects for a long period of time, thereby showing excellent restoration or volume expansion or wrinkle improvement properties of soft tissues such as cheeks, breasts, nose, lips, and buttocks and reducing wrinkles.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for skin wrinkle removal. After applying a tube encircling a relatively small skin area along the wrinkled line, a set of laser beams will be activated. The laser beams are mounted around the tube, pointing to its center to create a mutual point of irradiation located just below the skin's wrinkle line. Optical energy from lasers is directed to a point under the skin by radiating through the transparent tube. For ease of use, the encircled skin portion is lifted, preferably by vacuum, enabling laser radiation to penetrate under the skin from outside the lifting tube. The apparatus is suitable for treating skin wrinkles by targeting the sub skin melanin without damaging skin surface. The apparatus may also be used for other aesthetic face treatments, including disorders located around the eye. The used laser radiation is in the wavelength region of 1500 to 1800 nm, which is regarded to be eye safe. Other laser wavelength could be used, especially in the 700 nm region with confidence, since most radiation is enclosed within the skin portion on the transparent tube. The treatment energy density level on the skin penetration point is relatively low and thus not harmful to the epidermis. However, heating effect is maximized at the central point just beneath the wrinkle—which causes damage to the collagen. Later on, when healing occurs, the skin will be stretched and wrinkles will be diminished. This technology is less damaging to the skin than that of the prior and targets only the under wrinkle collagen. Statistically, most of the recent clinical trials showed a histological evidence of new collagen formation and significant improvement in facial rhytides. Direct, under the skin irradiation, as in our art, will be less damaging to the skin epidermis yielding improved overall results.

The invention provides a bone health product, which comprises collagen, glucosamine, vitamin and zinc source. The provided bone health product organically combines the collagen, glucosamine, vitamin and zinc source together, thereby the absorption is easy; the production of proteoglycan and collagen in human body can be promoted for supplementing the joint synovial fluid, and the necessary material of cartilage tissue for recovering the health after the joint is injured can be provided, the collagen formation is promoted, calcareous absorption and production can be promoted, and the bone health product is helpful for health care effect to human bone.
