Carboxytherapy is one of the most popular procedures used in dermatology. The treatments are known to be minimally invasive and highly effective for various skin disorders. Therefore, the research carried out in the paper is purposeful and addresses an important area of aesthetic therapies.
Objective, apparatus-based assessment of the effect of carboxytherapy on skin elasticity around the eyes.
PATIENTS/METHODS: The study included a group of 39 Caucasian individuals aged 35-55 years. Participants were subjected to a series of five carboxytherapy treatments of eye area at weekly intervals. The Cutometer measuring probe was used to assess skin elasticity. Additionally, photographic documentation was out using the Fotomedicus system.
In this study, statistically significant increase in R2 parameter was found as the result of applied treatment. This parameter is considered to be the most important indicator of changes in skin elasticity. In 29 out of 39 subjects, the carboxytherapy treatment significantly improved skin tension and elasticity. Such therapy may also exert a beneficial effect on flexibility since in 28 participants the favorable change in the R7 parameter was visible.
The objective analysis of the impact of carboxytherapy treatment on parameters determining skin elasticity revealed that this therapy can be used as an anti-aging method in the eye area. Obtained results are in agreement with other biochemical, histological, and photographical documentation analyses of the effect of carboxytherapy on skin, performed by independent researchers.
羧基疗法是皮肤科最常用的治疗方法之一。已知该疗法微创且对各种皮肤疾病高效。因此，本文开展的研究具有针对性，涉及美容治疗的一个重要领域。
基于仪器客观评估羧基疗法对眼部周围皮肤弹性的影响。
患者/方法：该研究纳入了一组39名年龄在35 - 55岁的白种人个体。参与者接受了一系列共五次眼部区域的羧基疗法治疗，每周一次。使用皮肤弹性测定仪测量探头评估皮肤弹性。此外，使用Fotomedicus系统进行摄影记录。
在本研究中，经治疗后发现R2参数有统计学意义的增加。该参数被认为是皮肤弹性变化的最重要指标。在39名受试者中的29名中，羧基疗法显著改善了皮肤张力和弹性。这种疗法对柔韧性也可能产生有益影响，因为在28名参与者中可见R7参数有有利变化。
对羧基疗法治疗对决定皮肤弹性的参数影响的客观分析表明，该疗法可作为眼部区域的抗衰老方法。获得的结果与独立研究人员对羧基疗法对皮肤影响的其他生化、组织学和摄影记录分析结果一致。
