Abstract
A method for the cosmetic treatment of human skin, particularly facial skin, for the removal of materials from the surface and the sebaceous follicles is disclosed. The method comprises applying a layer of liquid polymerizable adhesive to the skin, then applying a pliable adhesive tape to cover the applied liquid adhesive and allowing the polymerization of said layer of polymerizable adhesive to take place and then removing the layer of polymerized adhesive from the skin by stripping the tape from the skin. In this treatment the materials on the surface of the skin and within the sebaceous follicles being attached to and removed with the layer of polymerized adhesive along with the tape. Alpha-cyanoacrylate is usefully employed as the polymerizable adhesive in this treatment.
