Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated the effectiveness and tolerability of a topical serum against a single ablative laser treatment over 16 weeks for women with signs of photodamage on their faces.
- - Results showed that the topical serum led to significantly better improvements in various skin conditions, such as fine lines and wrinkles, compared to the laser treatment.
- - Both treatments had similar tolerability, but the topical serum resulted in better or equivalent improvements in skin appearance after the 16-week period.
Background: Prolonged face mask usage, a daily practice for the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, creates high levels of humidity underneath the mask, which may cause unexpected skin concerns.
Objective: To investigate the impact of repeated mask usage on the face by comparing skin properties inside and outside of the mask-covered areas.
Methods: A double-blinded, randomized, split-face clinical study was conducted with 21 healthy female participants who wore face masks at least 6 h every day for 1 week, with one side of their face treated with a moisturizer three times daily.
The endogenous electrical field of human skin plays an important role in many skin functions. However, the biological effects and mechanism of action of externally applied electrical stimulation on skin remain unclear. Recent study showed that galvanic zinc-copper microparticles produce electrical stimulation and reduce inflammatory and immune responses in intact skin, suggesting the important role of electrical stimulation in non-wounded skin.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants in favor of pro-oxidants. Photon emission (also called chemiluminescence) has been widely used to study oxidative stress in biological systems in vitro. In vivo chemiluminescence has been proposed as a non-invasive method to assess oxidative stress in the skin.
