The use of high-frequency ultrasound for noninvasive assessment of skin during chemical peeling therapies may be a useful tool.
To determine whether high-frequency ultrasound is a useful tool to noninvasive assessment of skin and evaluation therapy progress.
PATIENTS/METHODS: The 14 women underwent four treatments with chemical peelings at 2-week intervals. Before, after 4 weeks and after 9 weeks, photographic documentation and scans were recorded using a high-resolution ultrasound system.
As a result of applying pyruvic acid peeling, the thickness of the entrance echo on the forehead, cheek, and chin was reduced. After applying the peeling consisting of a mixture of glycolic and salicylic acids, the thickness of the entrance echo of the epidermis decreased on the forehead, cheek, and chin. As a result of applying a 50% pyruvic acid peeling, the density of dermis on the forehead, cheeks, and chin increased. A similar increase in the density of dermis was observed on the forehead, cheeks, and chin after applying a mixture of glycolic and salicylic acid.
High-frequency ultrasound is a useful tool for monitoring the progress in the treatment of acne vulgaris using chemical peelings.
高频超声在化学焕肤治疗期间对皮肤进行非侵入性评估可能是一种有用的工具。
确定高频超声是否可用于皮肤的非侵入性评估和治疗进展的评估。
患者/方法：14 名女性每 2 周接受 4 次化学换肤治疗。在治疗前、治疗后 4 周和 9 周时，使用高分辨率超声系统记录照片记录和扫描。
应用丙酮酸焕肤后，额头、脸颊和下巴的入口回波厚度减小。应用含有甘醇酸和水杨酸混合物的焕肤剂后，额头、脸颊和下巴的表皮入口回波厚度减小。应用 50%丙酮酸焕肤后，额头、脸颊和下巴的真皮密度增加。在额头、脸颊和下巴应用甘醇酸和水杨酸混合物后，真皮密度也出现类似的增加。
高频超声是监测化学焕肤治疗寻常痤疮进展的有用工具。
