Cellulite Patches - What Are the Constituents of This Anti-Cellulite Product?
History
The first cellulite patches were developed from the masks that were initially by NASA in space expeditions to prevent astronauts being sick. This was done by the American agency researchers who came up with the trans-dermic patches. These strips made it unnecessary for astronauts venturing to the space to have to take pills, or have injections to deter the absorption of chemicals through the skin when they reached the space.
Later in the 70s some pharmaceutical researchers adopted this technology to fight certain illnesses, addictions and medical disorders. The most popular are the estrogen patches that control the hormonal imbalances during menopause, contraceptives use and nicotine patches for people trying to quit smoking or those used to treat cardiac problems.
How Patches Entered the Cosmetic World
Due to the success in the pharmaceutical environment curing different medical conditions, the patches entered the cosmetics industry. The pioneer fatty skin patches; not yet developed to be trans-dermic, were supported with a sanitary gauze or paper same eau de Cologne, makeup remover discs or salva slips.
The breakthrough was made the invention of Hydrogel patches, with TNT supports-'Tissue Non Tissue', with active water and active components coating.
The descriptive discovery in cosmetics is the use of a polymer-based technology in medical industry where an occlusive support guarantees the maximum penetration of the active components into the skin dermis.
Two types of patches
These are grouped according to their scope rather than their form of support.
1. Surface ones; these are dressings that do just a little more than cover up a hole. The patches provide cover the surface of a problem with no long-term solution.
2. Trans-dermic cellulite patches; these applied in medicine-Hydrocoloide technology, and presently in cosmetics produce efficient results as expected. The high technology transfers the active components to the deepest layers of the skin to improve the health.
Hydrocoloide technology used in patches; makes the active components to be delivered from the skin surface; the epidermis, to dermis and later to the hypodermis. Also even enables different controlled uses to fit in the time schedule. There are different durations of patches as; 15-minute, 1-hour and up to 1-day patches.
The main constituent of the cellulite patches is caffeine which is very crucial in the treatment of the skin.
Advantages of patches
- The patches are high-precision support with intensive and precise effects.
- They are packed in mono-doses guaranteeing the exact amount of active components per each application.
- It is easy apply and remove.
- Provides maximum flexibility and gentleness while in use.
- Components are spread at precise times and places.
- It acts by occlusion; prevents the water evaporating hence enabling the active components to distribute more easily and prolonging the contact time.
- There are immediate visible effects.
- The cell walls are made to be more permeable; this increases surface flow and the skin's recovery.
- It deters cuteneous skin evaporation; this interferes with the process of skin respiration, and raises the body heat hence the components penetrate the skin.
- The patches 'ingredient transfer system', has an exclusive molecular design that reaches to the depth of 20 cell layers within the corneal layer barrier.
Another advantage of the skin fat patches is that they are extremely affordable in addition to transforming your beauty state.
