AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of oxybrasion treatments alone and in combination with cosmetic acids in improving acne-prone skin.
- A single-blind placebo trial involved 44 women with acne vulgaris divided into two groups; one received only oxybrasion, while the other received oxybrasion plus cosmetic acids over five sessions.
- Results showed significant improvements in both groups' acne severity after treatment, but the combination therapy was more effective than oxybrasion alone.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an oxybrasion treatment applied alone and an oxybrasion treatment combined with cosmetic acids in improving acne-prone skin and selected skin parameters.
Patients And Methods: A single-blind placebo study in a sample of 44 women diagnosed with acne vulgaris was conducted. Group A (n = 22) had a series of five oxybrasion treatments, while group B (n = 22) received a synergy of five oxybrasion treatments and a mixture of phytic, pyruvic, and lactic and lactic ferulic acids at 40% pH 1.4. Cosmetic treatments were performed every 14 days, and The Derma Unit SCC3 apparatus (Courage & Khazaka, Cologne, Germany) Sebumeter SM 815 and Corneometer CM825 and GAGS scale were used to check their effectiveness.
Results: A Bonferroni post hoc test showed that group A and B did not differ from each other in acne severity before treatment ( = 1.00). However, these samples differed significantly after treatment ( < 0.001), suggesting that combined treatment of oxybrasion and cosmetic acids has a better effect than oxybrasion alone. Also, two treatment conditions (before and after) were statistically different for groups A and B separately ( < 0.001), indicating a similar efficacy of both treatments on acne severity.
Conclusion: Cosmetic treatments improved acne-prone skin and selected skin parameters. Better results were obtained by combining an oxybrasion treatment with cosmetic acids.
Clinical Trial Approval: The clinical trial with ID ISRCTN 28257448 approved this study.
