Chemical peel evidence for Photodamaged skin / texture

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Infraorbital hollowing and hyperpigmentation are common cosmetic concerns resulting from structural volume loss, pigmentary changes, vascular prominence, and skin laxity. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review current and emerging treatments for infraorbital concerns with an emphasis on patient selection and anatomy-driven approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic PubMed search was conducted in March...

Journal Article, Systematic Review

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Minimally-to-moderately invasive facial rejuvenation procedures, such as chemical peels, hyaluronic acid (HA) injections and fractional lasers, yield visible improvements in skin texture, tone and wrinkles; their long-term benefits can be optimized through a targeted anti-aging skincare regimen. AIMS: This controlled study aimed to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of a cream containing three...

Abstract summary (English) PURPOSE: 1927 nm fractional thulium fiber laser (TFL) has been shown to be effective in improving skin appearance by reducing pigmentation and loss of elasticity caused by photoaging. Supramolecular salicylic acid (SSA) has been utilized for chemical peeling with rejuvenation effect. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combined TFL and SSA treatment for photoaging.

Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) The accumulation of endogenous advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has been shown to degrade the integrity of the extracellular matrix in the dermis, resulting in signs of aging. Resurfacing procedures are a first-line treatment option. Post-procedure skin care is integral in achieving optimal results with minimal downtime.

Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Skin radiance represents both healthy and esthetic aspects of human skin, usually influenced by a compromised barrier and the aging process. The reduction of the stratum corneum by chemical peels is a prevalent procedure employed to enhance facial radiance, but peeling is not suitable for compromised skin. OBJECTIVES: Prinsepia utilis Royle polysaccharides (PURP) is a natural extract with repairing...

Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) Over the last few decades, high-frequency ultrasound has found multiple applications in various diagnostic fields. The fast development of this imaging technique opens up new diagnostic paths in dermatology, allergology, cosmetology, and aesthetic medicine. In this paper, being the first in this area, we discuss the usability of HFUS in anti-aging skin therapy assessment.

Randomized Controlled Trial, Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Actually, the use of chemical peels in cosmetics and dermatology continues to grow due to their versatility, clinical endpoint-directed predictability, and favorable risk profile in comparison to lasers. The chemical peel is a generally safe method for treatment of some skin disorders and to refresh and rejuvenate the skin. The major challenge of chemical peels is the tolerability, that is because of...

Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Facial chemical exfoliation (peeling) involves using a chemical agent to insult the skin and damage the cutaneous barrier, to reduce the signs of aging. The use of a moisturizer is advised postprocedure to promote repair of the epidermis. Biomimic moisturizer formulations may be effective treatment options for repair following facial peeling.

Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Glycolic acid (GA) chemical peels are a popular treatment for photoaged skin rejuvenation, but retinaldehyde (RAL)-based cosmetic creams have also demonstrated efficacy in improving photoaging, and are potentially better tolerated than chemical peels. AIMS: To compare the efficacy and safety of an antiaging cream containing 0.1% RAL associated with Glycylglycine Oleamide (GGO, Relastide^® ) and...

Comparative Study, Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The introduction of minimally invasive procedures has increased acceptance due to their efficacy, safety, and relatively long-lasting and natural results. At least two different and unrelated modalities are employed to consider a combination treatment. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate and compare the use and effectiveness of combined microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or trichloroacetic...
