Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for addressing skin aging, such as creams and surgical procedures, often fail to provide a non-invasive, effective, and long-lasting solution for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, as they may not penetrate deeply enough or require invasive procedures with risks.

Innovation Solution

A facial rejuvenation patch comprising a non-woven fabric backing layer, PET reinforcement strips, an adhesive layer with herbal extracts and vitamins, and a peelable release paper, designed for transdermal delivery to improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles, with strategic reinforcement to inhibit muscle contractions and promote blood flow.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If creams and serums are used to combat signs of aging, then the skin surface is treated, but the penetration depth is insufficient to have a significant effect

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepenetration depth of active ingredientsVSAvoideffectiveness of anti-aging treatment

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional topical application methods (creams and serums) with a transdermal patch delivery system. This substitution enables deeper penetration of herbal extracts and vitamins through the skin barrier, directly addressing the insufficient penetration depth issue while maintaining non-invasiveness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer acts as an intermediary medium that facilitates the transfer of herbal extracts and vitamins from the patch to the skin. This intermediary mechanism ensures sustained contact and enhanced penetration of active ingredients compared to conventional creams and serums.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If surgical procedures are used to combat signs of aging, then significant wrinkle reduction is achieved, but invasive procedures and risks are introduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveeffectiveness of wrinkle reductionVSAvoidinvasiveness and risks of procedure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes invasive surgical procedures with a non-invasive transdermal patch system. This replacement delivers herbal extracts and vitamins through the skin without surgical intervention, eliminating procedural risks while maintaining effectiveness through sustained transdermal delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the delivery parameter from invasive surgical intervention to non-invasive transdermal delivery. By modifying the administration method while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness through sustained release of active ingredients, it achieves wrinkle reduction without surgical risks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Duration of action of stationary object

If conventional anti-aging methods are used, then temporary effects are achieved, but long-lasting solutions are not provided as skin continues to age

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveduration of anti-aging effectVSAvoidlong-lasting skin rejuvenation

Core Design Contradiction:

Duration of action of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer provides continuous delivery of herbal extracts and vitamins to the skin over an extended period. This sustained release mechanism ensures long-lasting anti-aging effects by continuously nourishing the skin, addressing the temporary nature of conventional treatments.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A dermal patch system may include a non-woven fabric backing, a reinforcement component (such as PET strips), and an adhesive layer formulated with herbal extracts or, optionally, a transparent or distinct analgesic blend. The adhesive layer may be prepared by dissolving select components in heated purified water to form a sticky solution that is later coated on the substrate, with optional release paper applied. These patches may address wrinkles by transdermally delivering a rejuvenatory herbal formula and inhibiting muscle contractions.
