Sheet-like piece, sheet for promoting hair growth comprising sheet-like piece, and whitening and wrinkle ameliorating agent comprising sheet-like piece
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sheet-like piece comprising; a base sheet comprising an elastic material; a reservoir layer provided on the surface of said base sheet which contains a physiologically active substance and comprises micro needles; a adhesion layer which is formed in a mesh form on said base sheet and; a adhesion assisting layer which is formed on the surface of opposite side of said base sheet to the surface formed said reservoir layer. As a result, the sheet for promoting hair growth which may restore the state of thin hair to a state before thinning, a whitening and wrinkle ameliorating agent having whitening effect and wrinkle improving effect, and sheet-like piece used for these are provided.
1. A sheet-like piece comprising:
a base sheet made of an elastic material;
a reservoir layer, which contains a physiologically active substance, with plural micro needles extending in opposite direction to said base sheet, being arranged on one side surface of the base sheet ;
a mesh-formed adhesion layer formed on the opposite side surface of the reservoir layer adhered to the base sheet; and
an adhesion assisting layer being detachably arranged on the opposite surface, from which said reservoir layer is formed, of said base sheet,
wherein a tip of said micro needle protrudes from said adhesion layer;
wherein the plural micro needles are formed on the reservoir layer, and that concave portions for forming the micro needles have a conical shape which has upper diameter of about 0.1 to 0.3 mm, bottom diameter of about 0.03 to 0.05 mm and depth of about 0.6 to 1.0 mm; and
said adhesion assisting layer is composed of a spongy member.
2. The sheet-like piece according to the claim 1 , wherein said elastic material is composed of a translucent synthetic resin having moisture permeability with less than 0.1 mm of thickness.
3. The sheet-like piece according to the claim 1 , wherein said reservoir layer comprises a mixture of a water soluble polymer, and either a monosaccharide or a disaccharide, and a mixture of said physiologically active substance.
4. The sheet-like piece according to the claim 3 , wherein said water soluble polymer is at least any one of the polymer selected from the group consisting of collagen, gelatin, hyaluronic acid, dextrin, dextran, proteoglycan, sodium chondroitin sulfate, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose hyaluronic acid and physiologically acceptable salt thereof.
5. The sheet-like piece according to the claim 3 , wherein said monosaccharide or said disaccharide is any one selected from the group consisting of glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, trehalose and mixture at least two thereof.
6. The sheet-like piece according to the claim 1 , wherein said adhesion layer is formed by silicon based adhesive agent for medical purposes.
7. The sheet-like piece according to the claim 1 , wherein said spongy member is composed of any one of material selected from the group consisting of urethane, silicon, pulp paper, styrene, vinyl and cloth.
