“…There was a strong reduction of sebum all over the face; however, about an hour after the end of the treatment, this measurement began to return to the baseline. One hour after treatment, hydration started to gradually fall [16].…”

There are many cosmetic methods to reduce skin eruptions in people with acne vulgaris. As oxybrasion is a safe method of exfoliating dead epidermis, our objective was to investigate its effectiveness in young women with acne vulgaris. The Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) and Derma Unit SSC 3 device (Sebumeter SM 815, Corneometer CM 825) were used to assess acne vulgaris and skin properties. Twenty-four women aged 19–21 years (M = 19.50, SD = 0.66) with diagnosed mild acne vulgaris and a high level of sebum (more than 100 μg/cm2) participated in the study. Women on any dermatological treatment within the last 12 months and/or hormonal contraception were excluded. Probands were randomly assigned to two equal groups. Group A (experimental) was oxybrased with 0.9% sodium chloride solution simultaneously with compressed oxygen. Group B (placebo) was the group treated with non-carbonated mineral water and oxygen from the device (not pure). A series of five treatments was performed at 10-day intervals. Skin parameters were measured before and 30 days after the end of treatment. As a result, in group A (experimental), skin hydration and GAGS improved, while sebum on the epidermis was reduced. No side effects were noted. We concluded that oxybrasion is effective in women with acne and safe, as it improved skin parameters; however, further research is needed.

The synergy of cosmetic acids, with their keratolytic and antibacterial properties, with the mechanical exfoliation of the epidermis brings faster and better treatment results. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of using only pyruvic acid and the synergy of microdermabrasion and chemical exfoliation. In total, 14 women diagnosed with acne took part in the study. Two areas were marked on the participants’ faces: the right side (microdermabrasion treatment and a preparation containing pyruvic acid 40%) and the left side (preparation containing pyruvic acid 40%) without mechanical exfoliation. A series of four treatments was performed at 2-week intervals. Skin parameters such as stratum corneum hydration and sebum secretion were measured. Before the treatments, all patients had moderate acne according to GAGS (Min: 19, Max: 22, Md: 20), and after the treatments, it decreased to mild acne according to GAGS (Min: 13, Max: 17, Md: 140). On the right side of the face, there was a statistically significant reduction in sebum secretion in all the examined areas of the face and increase in the hydration of the stratum corneum. On the left side of the face, the differences were also observed in the decrease of sebum value and increase of hydration level; however, they were smaller than on the right side. The use of microdermabrasion in combination with pyruvic acid led to better results in the case of increased hydration and reduction of sebum secretion than using only pyruvic acid treatment.

“…Corneometry (objective instrumental): corneometry analysis was carried out to determine the cutaneous hydration index (Corneometer M820, Courage Khazaka Electronics GmbH, Cologne, Germany). The corneometer measured the stratum corneum hydration by electrical capacitance of the skin (hydration values) 15 . For each patient, hydration was measured at four points (forehead, chin, and left and right cheeks) and measurements were averaged.…”

Background Skin suffers progressive decrement. An endogenous regenerative technology has been developed that has the versatility to provide an autologous injectable gel (Endoret‐Gel) or a liquid plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) based on the patient´s own platelet‐rich plasma. Aims To compare the efficacy of the combined therapy with Endoret‐Gel and PRGF versus Endoret‐Gel alone in the management of facial rejuvenation. Methods Twenty clinically diagnosed patients with aged skin received either Endoret‐Gel monotherapy or Endoret‐Gel + PRGF combined therapy. Patients underwent three sessions at one‐month intervals and were clinically assessed for six months. Corneometry, sebumetry, and high‐resolution topographic analysis were carried out. Patient self‐assessment questionnaires and clinical improvement scores were also performed. Results The combined therapy showed to promote a higher hydration index. These results were also significant for spot improvement at three months, while conversely, monotherapy with Endoret‐Gel demonstrated higher UV spot improvement. A significant decrease of sebum production and wrinkle development was observed for both treatment groups. Red areas also improved in a similar way at the end of the follow‐up period. After Endoret‐Gel or Endoret‐Gel + PRGF therapy, 30% and 70% of patients referred to be very satisfied, respectively. Accordingly, 40% and 80% showed a “very improved” esthetic performance. None of the patients reported a negative change and no adverse events were recorded. Conclusion Both Endoret‐Gel monotherapy and the combined treatment with PRGF were shown to promote facial rejuvenation and to palliate the age‐related cutaneous atrophy. The combined therapy may exert a synergistic effect that addresses both skin quality improvement and soft tissue restoration in a shorter period.
