Abstract

Objective: Body hair removal plays an important role in beauty standards, particularly for women. Finding a method that is easy to use, cheap, and can be done without supervision can significantly affect long-term hair reduction and reduce the side effects of hair removal. The present study investigated the impact of a containing 20% broad bean (Vicia faba) extract cream on axillary hair removal.

Materials and methods: Twenty-five female volunteers were randomly divided into A (right axillary intervention - left axillary placebo) and B (right axillary placebo - left axillary intervention). Depending on the group, each person used a cream containing 20% broad bean extract )"The extract made from the seeds and pods of broad beans.") on one side and a placebo on the other twice a day for three months. Volunteers shaved their axillary hairs three days before each visit and took pictures of both sides on the day of the visit with a trichoscope (to check the diameter and thickness of the hairs).

Results: We found a decrease in thickness on the intervention group (the axilla where a cream containing broad bean extract was applied); however, this difference was not significant between the intervention side and the placebo. In terms of the number of hairs, the difference between the two groups was significant only in the second month despite the decrease on the intervention side. Evaluation based on the personal judgment of the volunteers showed that there was a substantial difference in terms of the number of hairs (p=0.012) and thinning of hair (p=0.02).

Conclusion: Our findings showed that 20% broad bean extract cream could potentially reduce axillary hair growth.

评估豆类提取物对减少腋毛的作用。
目的体毛脱除在美容标准中扮演着重要角色,尤其是对女性而言。找到一种简单易用、价格低廉、无需监督即可完成的脱毛方法,对长期脱毛和减少脱毛的副作用有重要影响。本研究调查了含有 20% 蚕豆(Vicia faba)提取物的脱毛膏对腋毛脱除的影响:25 名女性志愿者被随机分为 A 组(右腋窝干预-左腋窝安慰剂)和 B 组(右腋窝安慰剂-左腋窝干预)。根据组别不同,每人一侧使用含 20% 蚕豆提取物("从蚕豆种子和豆荚中提取的提取物")的乳膏,另一侧使用安慰剂,每天两次,持续三个月。志愿者在每次就诊前三天剃除腋毛,并在就诊当天用毛囊镜(检查毛发的直径和粗细)拍摄两侧照片:我们发现,干预组(涂抹蚕豆提取物乳膏的腋窝)的毛发厚度有所减少,但干预组与安慰剂组之间的差异并不明显。就毛发数量而言,尽管干预组的毛发数量有所减少,但两组之间的差异仅在第二个月才显著。根据志愿者的个人判断进行的评估显示,在头发数量(p=0.012)和头发稀疏(p=0.02)方面存在显著差异:我们的研究结果表明,20% 的蚕豆提取物乳膏有可能减少腋毛的生长。
