“…They are R0, which indicates skin firmness, R2, which indicates gross elasticity, R6, indicating viscoelasticity and R7, indicating elasticity. 14 The results made evident that both cases behaved and responded in different manners regarding the benefits of the therapies. In both cases, improvement was obtained in the variables of the Cutometer® during treatment, among them skin firmness, which only in Case II was maintained after the end of the treatment.…”

Material and methods Case I: RS, a 36-year-old woman, weighing 53.1kg, 1.58m in height and body mass index (BMI) of 21.27k/m², with abdominal skin flaccidity degree 3, caused by two pregnancies. Case II: KV, 51-year-old woman, weighing 56.6kg, 1.67m in height and BMI of 20.29kg/m², with abdominal skin flaccidity degree 2 caused by chronological aging, however without any pregnancies. Procedures Ten session of ESWT were performed, using the equipment Thork® Shock Wave, brand Ibramed® (Indústria Brasileira de Equipamentos Médicos EIRELI.), twice a week, in the abdominal area with approximately 300cm² of area, protocol of 6000 shots, frequency

Non-invasive bioengineering technologies are constantly being developed, as they can provide useful insights and contribute to the improvement of medical care and scientific education. The purpose of this study was to assess skin viscoelasticity using the suction chamber method in patients with allergic contact dermatitis vs. healthy subjects, before and after applying a moisturizer safety testing cream. This was a prospective controlled study over a 3-year period (March 2016-March 2019), with 81 subjects being divided in two balanced groups: Patients with allergic contact dermatitis and healthy subjects, respectively. The skin viscoelasticity was determined for all subjects with Cutometer ® , using the suction method, by performing a dynamic assessment of parameters before and after applying a moisturizing cream. The results indicate a decrease in the elasticity parameters in both groups, indicating an improvement of the elastic properties under the treatment. Skin capacity to return to its previous form after the deformation, i.e., pure elasticity and biological elasticity, showed overall elevated values in the group with contact dermatitis, demonstrating the efficacy of the emollient cream after applying it for 28 days (increase by 11.7 and 4.9% respectively, compared with baseline, when patients had dry, untreated skin). However, in healthy subjects, these parameters do not achieve important values, but they remain rather stable over time with a very slight improvement (6.6% after 28 days). The Cutometer is an easy to use, efficient and widely used instrument for measurements in studies that perform a quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of different formulations intended for application on the skin.

Section: Impact On Stretch Marks (Striae)mentioning

confidence: 99%

“…The advantage of carboxytherapy in the treatment of stretch marks, apart from the thickening of dermis and more even arrangement of collagen fibers(Pianez, Custódio, Guidi, Nunes de Freitas, & Sant'Ana, 2016), is the formation of new blood vessels network, which contributes to the change of skin color within the stretch marks. This may be related to the appearance of the network of new blood vessels in the skin, which directly influences its color(Podgórna, Kołodziejczak, & Rotsztejn, 2017).8 | IMPACT ON FAT TISSUE AND CELLULITE REDUCTIONThe majority of therapies aimed at reducing fat tissue involve a thermolipolytic (radiofrequency) effects or damage to fat cells (cryolipolysis, ultrasonic cavitation of fat tissue). Only few types of aesthetic treatments focus on the elimination of causes associated with the development of adipose tissue and cellulite, including disorders of blood microcirculation and lymphatic stasis in the subcutaneous tissue.…”

Carbon dioxide is a physiologic compound present in our body, mainly as a result of cellular metabolism. The frequency of carboxytherapy use by dermatologists and cosmetologists increased significantly in the second half of the 20th century due to the fact that it improves blood circulation within skin tissues. This article focuses on the use of carboxytherapy in case of various skin problems, such as stretch marks, scars, loss of elasticity, redundancy of fatty tissue, cellulite, morphea, and alopecia. The review of sparse studies that are available indicate increasing interest in this method.
