Solution Overview

Problem

Existing treatments for hair growth and wound healing, such as those using adipose-derived stem cell secretions, do not provide sustained effects after the treatment period, and there is a need for improved methods to enhance scalp and skin quality.

Innovation Solution

A pharmaceutical composition comprising adipose stem cell secretions (ASC-CM) is administered intradermally or subcutaneously at a specific dose of 0.3 to 0.6 µg of protein abundance per cm² of scalp or skin to promote tissue regeneration, rejuvenation, and hair modification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If adipose-derived stem cell secretion is administered for hair growth treatment, then hair increasing effect is achieved during treatment period, but the effect disappears when treatment is ended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehair growth effectVSAvoidduration of hair increasing effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the dosage parameter by specifying a precise range of 0.3 to 0.6 µg of protein abundance per cm², which optimizes the treatment to achieve sustained hair growth effects that persist after treatment completion, resolving the contradiction between achieving hair growth during treatment and maintaining the effect afterward

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If adipose-derived stem cell secretion is administered at higher doses, then wound healing effect is enhanced, but the cost and complexity of treatment increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewound healing effectVSAvoidtreatment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the dosage parameter to a specific range of 0.3 to 0.6 µg of protein abundance per cm², which achieves effective wound healing without requiring excessively high doses that would increase treatment complexity and cost, thus resolving the contradiction between healing effectiveness and treatment simplicity
