Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current cosmetic methods for addressing skin aging, cellulite, spider veins, and stretch marks often fail to provide long-term results and are associated with side effects and high recurrence rates, such as pain, hematomas, and allergic reactions.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising an aromatase inhibitor, a 5-α-reductase inhibitor, an antioxidant, and hyaluronic acid is used to improve skin appearance by enhancing microcirculation, strengthening collagen, and protecting against free radicals, thereby reducing wrinkles, cellulite, and other signs of aging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If sclerotherapy is used to remove spider veins, then spider veins can be removed, but pain, hematomas, and venous thromboses occur as side effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in removing spider veinsVSAvoidpain, hematomas, and venous thromboses
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical injection method of sclerotherapy with a topical cosmetic composition that uses chemical compounds (peptides, antioxidants, and other active ingredients) to gradually improve the appearance of spider veins through enhanced microcirculation and metabolic processes, eliminating the need for invasive mechanical intervention

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary substances (peptides, growth factors, and active ingredients) that mediate the improvement of spider veins by enhancing local metabolism and microcirculation, rather than directly destroying the veins through injection as in sclerotherapy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If laser treatment is used to remove spider veins, then spider veins can be removed, but allergic skin reactions and pain occur as side effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in removing spider veinsVSAvoidallergic skin reactions and pain
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the thermal and optical energy of laser treatment with a topical cosmetic composition that uses chemical compounds (peptides, antioxidants, and other active ingredients) to gradually improve the appearance of spider veins through enhanced microcirculation and metabolic processes, eliminating the need for invasive laser energy application

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary substances (peptides, growth factors, and active ingredients) that mediate the improvement of spider veins by enhancing local metabolism and microcirculation, rather than directly destroying the veins through laser energy as in conventional treatment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If invasive methods are used to treat skin conditions, then immediate results can be achieved, but frequent relapses occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmediate improvement of skin appearanceVSAvoidlong-term durability of results
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies cosmetic compositions in advance that contain peptides and active ingredients which prepare and strengthen the skin structure before visible aging or deterioration occurs, thereby preventing relapses by building resilience over time rather than reacting to established problems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs continuous topical application of cosmetic compositions that maintain ongoing metabolic enhancement and microcirculation improvement, ensuring sustained skin health and preventing relapses through continuous beneficial action rather than intermittent invasive procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
