A method of improving the appearance of skin, involves topically administering to a subject in need thereof a botanical antioxidant composition having a botanical antioxidant extract blend with: (a) at least one hydroxycinnamic acid, and (b) a camellia sinesis, vitis vinifera, euterpe oleracea, curcuma longa, and/or theobroma cacao extract, wherein the composition is in cream, lotion, solution, serum, anhydrous preparation, emulsion, microemulsion, multiple emulsion, gel, solid stick, ointment, dry powder, spray, or aerosol form.

A method for treating vascular diseases is provided. The method includes fabricating a sterile ice slurry including water and ice particles, cooling the sterile ice slurry to a predetermined temperature, and injecting the sterile ice slurry into a desired tissue region. The desired tissue region includes perivascular adipose tissue.

The present invention provides an injectable composition comprising cytolytic compound, preferably deoxycholic acid or a salt thereof, more preferably DCA-Na as a first component; and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. It also provides use of the injectable composition, for the reduction or removal of localized fat in a subject in need thereof, wherein the injectable composition is subcutaneously injected into a subcutaneous injection site of the subject. It also provides a method for reducing or removing localized fat in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject, an effective amount of the injectable composition. In particular, the injectable composition of the invention may be in the form of gel.

Topical compositions and methods are provided that are effective for promoting an optimal composition of dermal white adipose tissue in vivo comprising an adipogenic agent, a retarder of lipogenesis or lipolytic agent and at least one penetrant.
