Abstract

The present invention concerns an injectable composition comprising a filler or a botulinum toxin and an adrenergic receptor agonist, and its use for diminishing, decreasing or avoiding skin reactions due to injection, specially redness, ecchymosis, bruising, bleeding, erythema, oedema, necrosis, ulceration, swelling and/or inflammation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An injectable composition for treating a skin defect comprising:
 i. hyaluronic acid (HA);   ii. an α-adrenergic receptor agonist; and   iii an anaesthetic, wherein the anaesthetic is lidocaine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 2 , wherein the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine, xylometazoline, or oxymetazoline. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the HA represents 1% to 2.5% by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the lidocaine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represents 0.01% to 3% by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         7 . A kit comprising at least one syringe and the composition of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . A method for treating a skin defect comprising the step of injecting simultaneously an individual in need thereof with:
 i. hyaluronic acid (HA);   ii. an α-adrenergic receptor agonist; and   iii an anaesthetic, wherein the anaesthetic is lidocaine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the skin defect is a fold, wrinkle, skin depression or scar. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine, xylometazoline, or oxymetazoline. 
     
     
         13 . A method for diminishing, decreasing or avoiding a skin reaction in an individual due to injection of a dermal filler, comprising the step of injecting simultaneously:
 i. hyaluronic acid (HA);   ii. an α-adrenergic receptor agonist; and   iii an anaesthetic, wherein the anaesthetic is lidocaine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the skin reaction due to injection is redness, ecchymosis, bruising, bleeding, erythema, oedema, necrosis, ulceration, swelling and/or inflammation. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine, xylometazoline, or oxymetazoline. 
     
     
         18 . An injectable composition for treating a skin defect comprising:
 i. a botulinum toxin;   ii. an α-adrenergic receptor agonist; and   iii an anaesthetic, wherein the anaesthetic is lidocaine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.   
     
     
         19 . The composition of  claim 18 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. 
     
     
         20 . The composition of  claim 19 , wherein the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine. 
     
     
         21 . The composition of  claim 18 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine, xylometazoline, or oxymetazoline. 
     
     
         22 . The composition of  claim 18  wherein the lidocaine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represents 0.01% to 3% by weight of the composition. 
     
     
         23 . A kit comprising at least one syringe and the composition of  claim 18 . 
     
     
         24 . A method for treating a skin defect comprising the step of injecting simultaneously an individual in need thereof with:
 i. a botulinum toxin;   ii. an α-adrenergic receptor agonist; and   iii an anaesthetic, wherein the anaesthetic is lidocaine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.   
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 24  wherein the skin defect is a fold, wrinkle, skin depression or scar. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 26 , wherein the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine, xylometazoline, or oxymetazoline. 
     
     
         29 . A method for diminishing, decreasing or avoiding a skin reaction in an individual due to injection of a dermal filler, comprising the step of injecting simultaneously:
 i. a botulinum toxin;   ii. an α-adrenergic receptor agonist; and   iii an anaesthetic, wherein the anaesthetic is lidocaine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.   
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 29  wherein the skin reaction due to injection is redness, ecchymosis, bruising, bleeding, erythema, oedema, necrosis, ulceration, swelling and/or inflammation. 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 29 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 31 , wherein the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine. 
     
     
         33 . The method of  claim 29 , wherein the α-adrenergic receptor agonist is brimonidine, xylometazoline, or oxymetazoline.
