“…One study was able to appreciate histologic changes after three treatments approximately 7–10 days apart 7 . Another study found that skin surface roughness after microdermabrasion disappeared within 14 days after treatment, 8 thus the point of diminishing returns of treatment frequency may be unique to patient factors.…”

BackgroundMicrodermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that has gained popularity for skin rejuvenation by causing repetitive intraepidermal injury to stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen production. Various clinical studies have demonstrated microdermabrasion's effectiveness in skin rejuvenation; however, most of these studies rely on clinical observation and scoring by observers rather than histologic or microscopic analysis. In our single‐center prospective study, we used line‐field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC‐OCT), to non‐invasively visualize the early effects of one microdermabrasion treatment on the facial epidermal and dermal structure.AimUsing LC‐OCT, this study aims to elucidate the microscopic and histological effects of microdermabrasion on epidermal and dermal structures, including epidermal thickness, as well as collagen and vascular patterns.Patients/MethodsEight volunteers (Fitzpatrick skin types II–V) underwent one treatment of microdermabrasion. LC‐OCT and VISIA imaging were performed before and 10 min after microdermabrasion, and at 48‐h follow‐up. Subjective evaluations of skin texture and adverse reactions were assessed 1 week posttreatment via a telephone call.ResultsCompared to LC‐OCT images before treatment, images captured after one treatment of microdermabrasion showed a decrease in thickness and number of undulations in the stratum corneum. In the superficial dermis, enhancement in fibrillar collagen, as demonstrated by an increased prominence of crisscrossing hyper‐refractile strands, was visualized. This was consistent with subjective and objective improvement in facial rhytids calculated by VISIA skin analysis.ConclusionsTreatment monitoring with LC‐OCT demonstrated consistent histopathological changes with clinical visual improvement. Therefore, LC‐OCT, has the potential to enable long‐term histopathological monitoring of microdermabrasion and other cosmetic procedures without biopsy.

“…The software Dermapix was used to design a contour encompassing the treatment area and a small amount of normal surrounding skin, to allow for some shrinkage or stretching that can accrue from laser resurfacing treatments. As the photographs were synchronised, the software replicated the same electronic marking to the post-treatment image and automatically calculated information on the skin surface 21 , 28 , volume 16 , 28 , 31 , roughness 5 , 16 , 18 – 20 , 24 , 34 , average height 16 and average depth 25 . Roughness is defined as the arithmetic mean of peak-to-valley-height skin characteristics 19 , 34 , 37 and is specified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 3274:’96 and ISO 4287:’97).…”

Measuring outcomes from treatments to the skin is either reliant upon patient’s subjective feedback or scale-based peer assessments. Three-Dimensional stereophotogrammetry intend to accurately quantify skin microtopography before and after treatments. The objective of this study is comparing the accuracy of stereophotogrammetry with a scale-based peer evaluation in assessing topographical changes to skin surface following laser treatment. A 3D stereophotogrammetry system photographed skin surface of 48 patients with facial wrinkles or scars before and three months after laser resurfacing, followed immediately by topical application of vitamin C. The software measured changes in skin roughness, wrinkle depth and scar volume. Images were presented to three observers, each independently scoring cutaneous improvement according to Investigator Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (IGAIS). As for the results, a trend reflecting skin/scar improvement was reported by 3D SPM measurements and raters. The percentage of topographical change given by the raters matched 3D SPM findings. Agreement was highest when observers analysed 3D images. However, observers overestimated skin improvement in a nontreatment control whilst 3D SPM was precise in detecting absence of intervention. This study confirmed a direct correlation between the IGAIS clinical scale and 3D SPM and confirmed the efficacy and accuracy of the latter when assessing cutaneous microtopography alterations as a response to laser treatment.
