Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess changes in skin elasticity and other skin defects related to the aging of skin around eyes following the use of combination treatment carboxytherapy and chemical peels (ferulic acid combined with ascorbic acid, lactobionic acid).
Material and methods: A total of 39 Caucasian patients were subjected to a series of five combination carboxytherapy and chemical peels treatments at weekly intervals. The Cutometer device was used to objectively measure skin elasticity. The assessment was supplemented by photographic documentation.
Results: A statistically significant improvement in skin elasticity assessed on the basis of R2 and R7 parameters (p < .0001, p = .001, respectively) was demonstrated after a series of five sessions of carboxytherapy combined with chemical peels. The improvement in the R2 parameter was observed in 82.1%, while R7 in 76.9% of study participants. It observed that the number of participants who benefited from treatment with ferulic acid and ascorbic acid was statistically higher compared with the second group (p = .036). Improved R2 values were reported in 100% of participants undergoing carboxytherapy combined with ferulic and ascorbic acid.
Conclusion: Carboxytherapy in combination with chemical peels improved skin elasticity and can be used to reduce other skin defects.
期刊介绍:
A unique journal that focuses on the application of cosmetic laser and light therapies on the skin. The Journal of Cosmetic & Laser Therapy provides a forum for stimulating and up-to-date studies demonstrating the wide range of therapeutic options for clinicians and surgeons involved in cosmetic and dermatological treatment.
The journal is aimed at dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, plastic and facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons and all those interested in the rapidly expanding field of cosmetic and laser therapy.
Features include:
-Cosmetic surgery, including facial rejuvenation, hair removal and skin resurfacing
-Use of lasers and other light sources for cosmetic and dermatological treatment
-Applications of peeling agents, fillers, injectables, implants and other cosmetic modalities
-Topical treatments
