Abstract

The present invention is of a method of facilitating lip augmentation, the method comprising treating the lip area with an electricity generating device. The present invention further provides devices and kits for lip augmentation.

Claims

1. A method of facilitating lip augmentation, the method comprising treating the lip area with an electricity generating device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the lip area is at least one of the outer lip, the inner lip, the top lip, the lower lip, the upper lip, skin surrounding the lip and mouth and a combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the electricity generating device is selected from the group consisting of a powered dermal patch, a dermal device, a patch device, a galvanic stimulation device, a delivery device, an electrical stimulating device, and a combination thereof.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the electricity generating device facilitates electrical stimulation of the lip area.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising treating the lip area with at least one active composition and wherein the electricity generating device promotes delivery of the active composition onto and/or into the lip area.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one active composition is selected from the group consisting of a lip augmenting composition, a bleaching agent, a hair removal agent, a moisturizing agent, an anti-wrinkle agent, an anaesthetic, a lip coloring agent and a combination thereof.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising treating the lip area with heat.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein treating the lip area comprises applying the electricity generating device to contact the lip area and removing the electricity generating device at the end of the treatment time.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the electricity generating device comprises at least one first electrode, at least one second electrode, and at least one conductive fluid coupled to at least one of the at least one first electrode and the at least one second electrode;

wherein there is a potential difference between the at least one first and second electrodes and wherein the at least one first and second electrodes are in electrical communication and wherein the conductive fluid is in communication with the lip area.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the electricity generating device further comprises a power source connected to the first and second electrodes.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein at least one of the electrodes is disposed in a region inside the mouth.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein lip augmentation is at least one of enhancing the lips, resizing, plumping, reshaping, enlargement of the lips, improving symmetry, lifting of the lips, reducing lip area wrinkles and reducing wrinkles around the mouth.

13. A method of facilitating lip augmentation, the method comprising treating the lip area with a patch comprising a lip augmenting composition.

14. An electricity generating device for lip augmentation.

15. The electricity generating device of claim 14 comprising at least one delivery electrode, at least one counter electrode, and at least one conductive carrier;

wherein there is a potential difference between the at least one delivery and counter electrodes and wherein the at least one delivery electrode and the at least one counter electrode are in electrical communication and wherein the conductive carrier is coupled to at least one of the at least one delivery electrode and the at least one counter electrode and is in communication with the lip area.

16. The electricity generating device of claim 14 comprising at least one active composition.

17. The electricity generating device of claim 16, wherein the at least one active composition is selected from the group consisting of a lip augmentation agent, a bleaching agent, a hair removal agent, a moisturizing agent, an anti-wrinkle agent, an anaesthetic, a lip coloring agent and a combination thereof.

18. The electricity generating device of claim 16, wherein the at least one active composition is disposed on or in one of the group selected from the at least one delivery electrode, the lip area, the conductive carrier, a separator attached to at least one electrode, an active composition delivery chamber and a combination thereof.

19. The electricity generating device of claim 15, further comprising at least one power source.

20. The electricity generating device of claim 19, wherein the at least one power source is a flexible thin layer electrochemical cell.

21. The electricity generating device of claim 14, further comprising a heating means.

22. The electricity generating device of claim 14, wherein lip augmentation comprises at least one of enhancing the lips, resizing, plumping, reshaping, enlargement of the lips, improving symmetry, lifting of the lips, reducing lip area wrinkles and reducing wrinkles around the mouth.

23. A kit for lip augmentation comprising:

an electricity generating device for lip augmentation; and

an active composition for facilitating lip augmentation.
