Abstract
Background
Facial skin aging is a cumulative result of both intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. Chemical peels are commonly performed noninvasive skin rejuvenation procedures targeting these stressors. Innovation in chemical peels has remained limited, creating an opportunity for the industry to evolve with next-generation technology.
Aims
A novel topical antioxidant biostimulating treatment (ABT) was developed that utilizes a typical chemoexfoliation base as a vehicle to deliver a unique blend of antioxidant biostimulating acidic phytocompounds (ABAP). It was hypothesized that controlled delivery of ABAP could occur through a typical AHA/BHA chemical peel vehicle. These ABAPs, such as asiatic, ursolic, madecassic, and oleanolic acids, are known for skin rejuvenation in the papillary dermis.
Patients/Methods
The ABT was tested in both ex vivo and in vivo settings to elucidate its mechanism of action and determine its efficacy and safety on 32 female subjects aged 38–60 years with Fitzpatrick skin types I–V.
Results
The ABT upregulated elastin and collagen after superficial wounding of the skin by over 25% when compared to untreated or vehicle controls. Clinical evaluation by an expert grader demonstrated that the ABT significantly improved fine lines, wrinkles, tactile laxity, and overall appearance after three ABT sessions. Clinical photography demonstrated an improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, skin smoothness, laxity, radiance, and overall appearance.
Conclusions
The ABT developed with ABAP technology was efficacious in improving facial skin aging for skin rejuvenation and safe for all skin tones.
