METHODS OF TREATING WRINKLES, DEVELOPING WRINKLE TREATMENTS AND EVALUATING TREATMENT EFFICACY, BASED NO NEWLY DISCOVERED SIMILARITIES BETWEEN WRINKLES AND SKIN WOUNDS

摘要

Disclosed are methods of measuring an endogenous wrinkle electric field and methods of characterizing topical applications, or other treatments, in terms of their effect on the endogenous electric field of wrinkles. Also included, are methods of developing topical applications, or other treatments that have a desired effect on the endogenous electric field of a wrinkle. The methods disclosed herein, are based on a new model of wrinkle physiology that exploits previously unknown similarities between skin wounds and wrinkles.
