A process for delivering hair removal fluids to hair ducts. In a preferred embodiment the fluid is a vaccine for slowing or stopping hair growth and a process for applying the vaccine or other hair growth vaccines to the skin region having unwanted hair and a method of delivering the vaccine to skin regions of unwanted hair. The preferred vaccine consists of an antigen cocktail of weakened or essentially dead elements of hair follicles for stimulating antibody responses. The preferred vaccine is prepared from patient's own hair papilla or bulge area stem cells. In other embodiments vaccines are made from extracts of papilla cells cultivated in a laboratory. The vaccines produce antibodies and these antibodies attack and destroy hair papilla and block bulge area cells that would otherwise produce or stimulate a growth of new papilla cells. Even if any new papilla cells appear, the circulating antibodies of the vaccine-activated immune system attack and destroy them also. Other hair removal fluids that can be applied with the process of this invention are also described.

Tetrapeptides consisting of (I or V)-X1-K-X2, where X1 can be selected from E, Q or K, and X2 can be selected from M, F, I, W, or V, exhibit diverse bioactivities. They are multi-functional effector molecules to stimulate keratinocytes migration; neutralize the proinflammatory effect of bacterial cell wall components such as lipoteichoic acids of the Gram-positive S. aureus; and induce angiogenesis in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The downregulation of pro-inflammatory condition was also demonstrated using SOR-300-FT psoriasis skin model for representative peptide. The bioactivity was also supported by gene profiling study upon treatment of normal skin tissues using EPIDERM™ skin substitutes. The inventive peptides with diverse bioactivities are useful for treating various skin conditions including, but not limited to, acute or chronic wounds, striae distensae, aging skin, hair control, inflammatory skins such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and rosacea and for unwanted hair removal or for conditions such as removal of skin tags.
