Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for reducing localized fat, such as liposuction and lipolytic injections, are invasive, risky, and associated with significant side effects like tissue damage, inflammation, and prolonged recovery, while non-invasive methods lack efficacy and safety.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising a weight ratio of resveratrol to 100% curcumin turmeric extract, administered locally, which inhibits adipocyte growth and induces apoptosis to reduce localized fat without causing tissue damage or side effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If conventional liposuction surgery is performed, then localized fat can be removed, but tissue damage, blood loss, and surgical risk increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefat removalVSAvoidtissue damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical liposuction with a chemical approach using deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells chemically rather than mechanically removing them through suction, thereby eliminating tissue damage and blood loss associated with surgical procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces deoxycholic acid as an intermediary substance that mediates fat cell destruction by disrupting cell membranes, serving as a safer alternative to direct mechanical trauma from liposuction instruments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If tumescent liposuction is performed, then local anesthesia is used instead of intravenous anesthesia, but large amounts of infusion solution cause extended anesthetic metabolism time and increased risk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanesthesia safetyVSAvoidanesthetic metabolism time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the need for large volumes of infusion solution by using a concentrated deoxycholic acid formulation that achieves fat cell lysis with minimal fluid, thereby removing the source of extended anesthetic metabolism time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the concentration parameter of the active ingredient, using high-concentration deoxycholic acid (10-50 mg/mL) instead of dilute infusion solutions, allowing effective fat dissolution with minimal fluid volume and reduced anesthetic metabolism time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If super wet liposuction is performed, then infusion solution volume exchange is controlled, but the method is still time-consuming and requires lengthy recovery periods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfusion safetyVSAvoidrecovery period
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the time-consuming mechanical liposuction process with a chemical dissolution process using deoxycholic acid that acts directly on fat cells, significantly reducing treatment time and accelerating recovery without compromising safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent skips the lengthy mechanical fat removal process and recovery period by using deoxycholic acid to rapidly dissolve fat cells in situ, allowing patients to resume normal activities much sooner than with conventional liposuction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

4Quantity of substance

If lipolytic injections are performed, then localized fat can be reduced, but tissue necrosis, inflammation, and severe pain occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefat reductionVSAvoidtissue necrosis
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameter of deoxycholic acid to 10-50 mg/mL, which is sufficient to dissolve fat cells effectively while remaining below the threshold that causes tissue necrosis and severe inflammation, achieving fat reduction without harmful side effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses deoxycholic acid, a bile acid that naturally occurs in the body in controlled amounts, as a safe alternative to harsh chemical lipolytics, copying nature's own fat-dissolving mechanism at controlled concentrations to avoid tissue damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
