## Background
FIELD
The present subject matter relates to post-procedure skin care systems and kits including the same, topical compositions for treating compromised skin, and methods of use thereof.
BACKGROUND
Skin resurfacing is used to remove the various layers of the epidermis and/or dermis to promote healthier skin by, for example, regenerating collagen, elastin, and epidermis. In addition skin resurfacing can rejuvenate the facial skin, and improve the appearance of fine line and wrinkles. Skin resurfacing can also remove superficial blemishes such as the brown spots of ageing, dilated capillaries, and small keratoses.
One procedure currently in wide use for skin resurfacing involves exposure to a laser, including for example, ablative and/or nonablative laser technology. Because any given laser emits light of only one wavelength (or color), they work in cosmetic applications through a process called selective photothermolysis. To be effective, the wavelength of the light beam must be in sync with the color of the target which is to be addressed, whether that be brown spots, unsightly red broken capillaries or some other undesirable skin condition. The most-commonly used lasers for the treatment of pigmented lesions, such as sun spots, age spots melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation are the pulsed dye, Nd:YAG and fractional (Fraxel) lasers, along with nonlaser, light-based treatments, such as IPL.
Lasers useful in cosmetic procedures also include CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser or Erbium YAG for treating lines and wrinkles, the removal of warts and skin tags, acne scars and for cutting skin in laser-assisted surgery. Pulsed Dye Lasers have also shown some success, along with less aggressive nonlaser, light-based treatments, such as intense pulsed light (IPL) and LED photofacials. Most cosmetic laser procedures provide some level of superficial tightening because they produce a controlled injury of the skin, which encourages increased collagen production. For more significant tightening results CO2 lasers or nonlaser, light-based treatments, such as Titan infrared devices and Thermage radio-frequency based systems may be used.
Resurfacing methods also include chemical peeling and dermabrasion. A chemical peel causes a chemical burn. Dermabrasion mechanically removes the epidermis and a variable layer of dermis. Recently, a rapid scanning device has been added to the cutting laser, enabling a predictable depth of skin to be destroyed. Resurfacing methods treat superficial wrinkles and repair skin aged by light.
Skin resurfacing procedures result in predictable post-operative sequelae including facial edema, wound exudates, erythema, pain, pruritis, hyperpigmentation, milia formation, and acne.

Other terms as used herein are meant to be defined by their well-known meanings in the art.
Topical Biocompatible Compositions
The presently described topical biocompatible compositions include, for example, a topical healing composition, including, e.g., an astringent solution powder, a topical soothing composition, and an epidermal repair composition.
The presently described topical biocompatible compositions can be provided in any form, including, but not limited to a gel, a cream, a lotion, an ointment, a foam, an aerosol, a powder, a solution, an emulsion, and a serum. p Topical Wound Healing Composition
The presently described topical wound healing compositions can be provided in any form. For example, the topical wound healing compositions can be provided in the form of a water soluble, flowable powder that, when mixed with water, forms a solution. The solution, when applied to compromised skin, can calm irritation, reduce inflammation, prevent scabbing, and/or can prevent or ameliorate post-procedure reactions.
The presently described topical wound healing compositions can provide soothing, effective relief of irritation by forming a skin barrier to help protect compromised skin and help minimize increased trans-epidermal water loss from compromised skin, and may hydrate such skin to prevent scabbing and crusting. The topical wound healing composition may be invisible, or substantially invisible, when applied to the skin. Added antimicrobial action can protect compromised skin against infection. Whey protein promotes skin recovery while oat and soy proteins may prevent redness and irritation. Chitosan can prevent scabbing and crusting during the recovery process. Combined these multi-modal biological effects help speed the wound healing process and minimize post-procedural recovery times.
The presently described topical wound healing compositions can comprise or consist of one or more astringents. The one or more astringent may be present in the described topical biocompatible compositions in an amount of, for example, from about 20 wt % to about 95 wt %; from about 40 wt % to about 90 wt %; from about 60 wt % to about 90 wt %; from about 70 wt % to about 85% wt %; from about 75 wt % to about 83 wt %; from about 78 % to about 81 wt %; about 75 wt %, about 76 wt %; about 77 wt %, about 78 wt %, about 79 wt %; about 80 wt %, about 81 wt %, about 82 wt %; about 83 wt %, about 84 wt %, or about 85 wt %.
The topical wound healing compositions may also comprise one or more protein, a protein complex, and/or chitosan. The protein complex may comprise or consist of a protein such as, e.g., Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernal Protein USP, soluble soy protein and/or whey protein.
According to the subject matter herein, the one or more protein may be a food grade protein having specific protein content. The one or more protein may be substantially pure, as defined herein above. For example, the avena sativa kernel may have a specific protein content of about >10% present protein by weight. The soy protein may be an isolated soy food/beverage grade protein with a specific protein content of about >5% (TBC). The whey protein may be a food/beverage grade whey protein with a specific protein content of >80%.
One example of an avena sativa protein that can be utilized in the topical healing composition is a TECH-O® #11-080. The avena sativa protein may have a specific protein content of about content may be more than about 10%, 12.50% or 19.00% by weight of the avena sativa protein. The fat content of the avena sativa protein may be greater than 5.00%, 6.00% or 9.00%. The avena sativa may optionally include ash fat or a carbohydrate in an amount of, for example, about 0.01% or greater.
An example of of a soy protein that may be used in the present compositions is CLARISOYTM100. The soy protein may be a micronized soy protein. The soy protein may be a water soluble soy protein that forms a substanitlaly transparent solution when disolleved. The soy protein may be 100% solublue.
An example of a whey protein according to the present subject matter is AVONLACTM 182 GLC. The whey protein may include 80% or more specific protein by weight.

Topical Soothing Composition
The topical soothing composition may be an ointment that provides multi-functional hydration and lipid replenishment to restores disrupted barrier function or otherwise compromised skin. The topical soothing composition may be an anti-irritant that may, for example, suppress inflammatory response to improve comfort during the healing/recovery process. In addition, the topical soothing composition may protect compromised or exposed skin from environmental aggressors.
In addition, the topical soothing composition may encourage cellular regeneration and synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, maintain skin hydration, restores barrier function, calm irritated or otherwise comprised skin, mitigate crusting/scabbing, and/or enhance DNA repair and protection.
The topical soothing composition may include extended release or time released components, including, for example one or more time-release or extended release anti-oxidant components for oxidative stress protection.
The topical soothing composition may include one or more components including, but not limited to, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) stimulator, an anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant, and a DNA repair component.
The GAG stimulator, which repairs compromised skin, may be any substance that stimulates glycosaminoglycan. For example, the GAG stimulator may be disodium acetyl glucosamine phosphate (DAGP).
The one or more GAG stimulator may be present in the topical soothing composition in of, for example, from >0.01 wt % to about 3 wt %; >0.01 wt % to about 1 wt %; from >0.05 wt % to about 3 wt %; from >0.05 wt % to about 1 wt %; from about 0.05 wt % to about 0.5 wt %; from about 0.07 wt % to about 0.4 wt %; from about 0.08 wt % to about 0.4 wt %; from about 0.08 wt % to about 0.35 wt %; from about 0.08 wt % to about 0.3 wt %; from about 0.08 wt % to about 0.25 wt %; from about 0.09 wt % to about 0.4 wt %; from about 0.09 wt % to about 0.3 wt %; from about 0.09 wt % to about 0.25 wt %; from about 0.1 wt % to about 0.25 wt %; from about 0.11 wt % to about 0.24 wt %; from about 0.12 wt % to about 0.23 wt %; from about 0.13 wt % to about 0.22 wt %; from about 0.14 wt % to about 0.21 wt %; or from about 0.15 wt % to about 0.2 wt %.
Cells synthesize polymers from sugars, particularly GAGs and Hyaluronan from the basis of N-acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate (NAG6P). DAGP is a molecule obtained through enzymatic processes and it is not a human growth factor. The disodium moiety of DAGP disassociates releasing N-acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate (NAG6P) in skin. GAGs are responsible for aiding the ability of collagen and elastin fibers to retain moisture while Hyaluronan (Hyaluronic Acid) modulates skin moisture balance.
As used in the topical soothing composition herein, administration of a topical composition comprising the GAG stimulation component may increase GAG production by up to 60%, 70%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84% or 85% when applied to skin from one to five times a day for a period of up to 10 days, or more. In addition, administration of a topical composition comprising the GAG stimulation component may increase hyaluronic acid synthesis by up to 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 280%, 281%, 282%, 283%, 284% or 285% from one to five times a day for a period of 0 to 48 hours.
Anti-inflammatory or anti-irritant components used in the topical soothing composition may include, for example, one or more of: Brassica Oleracea (Broccoli) Extract; Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil; Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour Protein; and/or Beta-Glucan.
The one or more anti-inflammatories or anti-irritants may be present in the topical soothing composition, either alone or in combination, in an amount of from, for example, from 0.01 wt % to about 30 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 25 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 20 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 15 wt %; 0.01 wt % to about 10 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 9 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 8 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 7 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 6 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 5 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 4.5 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 4 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 3.5 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 3 wt %; from 0.01 wt % to about 2.5 wt %;

Peptides may be included in the epidermal/dermal repair composition. For example, Tetrapeptide-21 enhances extracellular matrix (ECM) protein expression when used in the epidermal/dermal repair composition. Tetrapeptide-21 also stimulates Collagen 1, Fibronectin and hyaluronic acid in the skin leading to re-epithelialization and accelerated healing. Myristoyl Pentapeptide-11 encourages cell proliferation to speed skin recovery.

Dosage
The presently described biocompatible topical compositions can be topically administered in any form. A sufficient amount of the topical composition can be applied onto the affected area and surrounding skin, for example, in an amount sufficient to cover an affected area plus a margin of healthy skin or tissue surrounding the affected area, if possible, for example, a margin of about 0.5 inches. The compositions can be applied to any skin surface, including for example, facial skin, and the skin of the hands, neck, and/or chest.
The compositions can be applied in a single, one-time application, once a week, once a bi-week, once a month, or from one to four times daily, for a period of time sufficient to alleviate symptoms, for example, for a period of time of one week, from 1 to 12 weeks or more, from 1 to 6 weeks, from 2 to 12 weeks, from 2 to 12 weeks, from 2 to 8 weeks, from 2 to 6 weeks, from 2 to 4 weeks, from 4 to 12 weeks, from 4 to 8 weeks, or from 4 to 6 weeks. The present compositions can be administered, for example, at a frequency of once per day or twice per day.

Example 4
In order to evaluate the effectivesness of present compositions and kits, a side-by-side analysis, comparing the present compositions and methods to previously know compositions for post procedure healing was conducted. Specifically, following a 25% trichloroacetic acid (“TCA”) peel, a 50-year-old female patient was instructed to apply the compositions according to the present subject matter to the right side of her face and comparative compositions to the left side of her face.
The patient was previously diagnosed with Fitzpatrick Skin Type III and significant sun exposure with actinic damage, solar dyschromia, fine lines and general signs of aging. The patient was monitored by her dermatologist for inflammation, surface skin peeling, crusting, re-epithelialization, patient discomfort and overall patient experience.
Immediately following a 25% TCA facial peel, the patient was treated with a viscous lidocaine mixed with a medical grade copper peptide to provide an anesthetic effect and reduce discomfort. The patient was instructed to use a mild, medical cleanser on her full face. The patient was also provided two post-procedure systems and was told to use the post procedure compositions described in Examples 1-3 on the right side of her face and use a different commercially available post-procedure system on the left side the morning after the TCA peel.
With specific regard to the presently described compositions, the composition of Example 1 was administered as described herein above for the first five (5) days post-procedure. In addition, the composition of Example 2 was also administered as set forth herein above for the above for the first 5 days post-procedure. The composition of Example 3 was administered from days 5 to 15 post procedure.
The comparative compositions, SkinMedica® Restorative Ointment and SkinMedica® TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream were administered to the opposite side of the patient's face. Each of the comparative products were administered according to the manufacturer's instructions under the supervision of a dermatologist.
FIG. 1 shows a frontal view of the patient's entire face pre-procedure. As shown, prior to the TCA peel, the patient exhibits generally normal skin for a subject with her diagnosis.
On the second post-operative day, the physician examined the patient to evaluate the two treatments and associated protocols. As shown in FIG. 2A, the early peeling and re-epithelialization was observed on the right side of the patient's face, which was subject to the compositions of Examples 1 and 2 respectively. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 2B, no peeling was observed on the left side of the face, which was subject to the SkinMedica® Restorative Ointment. Additionally, the right side of the face was less swollen and more lifted then the left, comparative side.
At day five, on exam and as shown in FIG. 3A more significant epithelialization, less crusting and reduced swelling was observed on the right side of the face than on day 2. As shown in FIG. 3B, the left side of the face, treated with the comparative composition, exhibited less epithelialization, more retained crusting and slower healing. Additionally, the patient reported feeling less irritation, discomfort, dryness and pruritis on the right side of her face as compared to her left side.
On the ninth day post-procedure, the patient was again evaluated by her dermatologist. As shown in FIG. 4A, the lateral corners of the mouth were less red on the right side when compared to the left side, which is shown in FIG. 4B. In addition, the right side showed no scabbing, and near complete re-epithelialization, and was overall less red than the left side. The left (comparative) side had more crusting and showed scabbing on the chin.
While both post-procedure recovery systems included calming, hydration and epidermal stimulation ingredients, their formulations and protocols were different. Based on examinations on days 2, 5 and 9, the side of the patient's face showing more rapid peeling, earlier re-epithelialization, less swelling and irritation was the side to which the compositions of Examples 1-3 were administered. Accordingly, when compared to similar compositions, and treatment protocols, post-procedure administration of the compositions of Examples 1-3 lead to quicker healing and a more positive patient experience.
