Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the biophysical and biomechanical effects of topical stabilized retinaldehyde (RAL) treatments on skin, using different concentrations of retinal (0.05% and 0.1%).
Materials and methods: Employing a split-face design and noninvasive methods such as high-frequency ultrasonography, the Antera 3D camera, and the Cutometer, the effectiveness of these preparations was assessed among 56 women aged 30-58 years.
Results: The application of topical stabilized RAL resulted in statistically significant improvements in skin parameters. High-frequency ultrasonography revealed increased dermal density across all facial regions after 24 weeks, while Cutometer measurements showed enhanced skin elasticity and viscoelasticity. Antera 3D imaging demonstrated significant reductions in wrinkle parameters, particularly with the higher concentration (0.1%) of RAL. The treatments were generally well-tolerated, with minimal adverse effects reported, highlighting their suitability for sensitive skin.
Conclusion: Results indicated significant improvements in skin texture and firmness, particularly with the higher 0.1% concentration of RAL over 24-week period, making it a promising option for long-term skin rejuvenation therapy.
期刊介绍:
Skin Research and Technology is a clinically-oriented journal on biophysical methods and imaging techniques and how they are used in dermatology, cosmetology and plastic surgery for noninvasive quantification of skin structure and functions. Papers are invited on the development and validation of methods and their application in the characterization of diseased, abnormal and normal skin.
Topics include blood flow, colorimetry, thermography, evaporimetry, epidermal humidity, desquamation, profilometry, skin mechanics, epiluminiscence microscopy, high-frequency ultrasonography, confocal microscopy, digital imaging, image analysis and computerized evaluation and magnetic resonance. Noninvasive biochemical methods (such as lipids, keratin and tissue water) and the instrumental evaluation of cytological and histological samples are also covered.
The journal has a wide scope and aims to link scientists, clinical researchers and technicians through original articles, communications, editorials and commentaries, letters, reviews, announcements and news. Contributions should be clear, experimentally sound and novel.
