People struggling with acne vulgaris, not only experience skin eruptions and skin pain, but also report that their quality of life is worse compared with healthy people. This study examined, for the first time, the effect of sonophoresis on select skin parameters (sebum level) in young women suffering from acne vulgaris. The study included 60 women 19-23 years of age ( = 21.45, = 0.91) with mild and moderate facial acne. The inclusion criteria were 19-23 years of age, female or male gender, mild to moderate acne, no dermatological treatment within last 12 months, and no hormonal contraception (women). No men volunteered for the study, so the group was homogeneous. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A underwent a sonophoresis procedure using ultrasound and ultrasound gel combined with a green tea, bamboo extract ampule, and 5% lactic acid. Group B was the placebo group, where sonophoresis was performed using only ultrasound gel (no ampules). The members of the placebo group were told that they were undergoing sonophoresis with a green tea, bamboo extract, and 5% lactic acid ampule. Before and after the series of procedures, sebum levels were measured in the skin. Each patient underwent a series of five procedures using sonophoresis equipment at one-week intervals. Sonophoresis with green tea, bamboo extract, and 5% lactic acid contributed to the reduction of skin eruptions and sebum levels in the participants of the study (group A). The study results demonstrated that the combined use of plant preparations, lactic acid, and ultrasound had a positive effect on the skin of people suffering from acne vulgaris, including reduction of skin eruptions and sebum levels on the surface of the skin.
患有寻常痤疮的人不仅会经历皮肤 eruptions 和皮肤疼痛，还报告称与健康人相比他们的生活质量更差。本研究首次考察了超声透入疗法对患有寻常痤疮的年轻女性特定皮肤参数（皮脂水平）的影响。该研究纳入了60名19至23岁（ = 21.45， = 0.91）患有轻度和中度面部痤疮的女性。纳入标准为年龄在19至23岁、男女不限、轻度至中度痤疮、过去12个月内未接受皮肤科治疗以及未使用激素避孕措施（女性）。没有男性自愿参加该研究，所以该组是同质的。患者被分为两组。A组接受了使用超声波和超声凝胶并结合绿茶、竹提取物安瓿和5%乳酸的超声透入疗法。B组为安慰剂组，仅使用超声凝胶进行超声透入疗法（无安瓿）。安慰剂组的成员被告知他们正在接受含有绿茶、竹提取物和5%乳酸安瓿的超声透入疗法。在一系列程序前后，测量皮肤中的皮脂水平。每位患者每隔一周使用超声透入设备进行一系列五次程序。使用绿茶、竹提取物和5%乳酸的超声透入疗法有助于减少研究参与者（A组）的皮肤 eruptions 和皮脂水平。研究结果表明，植物制剂、乳酸和超声波的联合使用对患有寻常痤疮的人的皮肤有积极影响，包括减少皮肤 eruptions 和皮肤表面的皮脂水平。
