“…In this work, the reduction of the visual stigmatization of scars was observed and the unexpected result of the newfound ability of the skin affected by the lesions to tan was noted. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this therapy had already been demonstrated in other studies concerning the treatment of SMs [19] and other facial scars [20,30]. A reduction in the visual stigma of the lesions was noted in all treated patients.…”

“…A reduction in the visual stigma of the lesions was noted in all treated patients. In all these studies, an effect of increased metabolism and catabolism in the treated areas was observed, with the regeneration of the extracellular matrix and the rebalancing of the physical characteristics of the skin [16,19,20,30]. In particular, in the treatment of albae SMs, biopsy analysis highlighted an increase in the number of melanocytes after therapy.…”

Background: Laser therapies can cause hyper- and hypopigmentation of the skin. There is little evidence in the literature of effective treatments for these types of problems in Fitzpatrick skin phototypes IV–VI. The main aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effects of a new therapy that combines the application of electromagnetic fields and vacuum on a subject with Fitzpatrick skin phototype VI, who presented extensive, laser-induced facial dyschromia. The secondary aim is to test the effectiveness of a free imaging software for assessing skin pigmentation. Methods: The level of improvement after therapy was evaluated, with a 5-point Likert scale, one month after the end of the treatment by the subject and by the doctor who performed the treatment, and by two blinded dermatologists. With the free software, a three-dimensional reconstruction of the treated area and the evaluation of the color distribution were performed. Results: Both the subject and the doctors involved in the study positively evaluated the effects of the treatment. The image analysis highlighted the homogenization of the skin color in the treated area. Conclusions: The combination of electromagnetic fields and vacuum for dyschromia treatments appears promising. The new method of assessing melanin levels resulted particularly efficient.

“…V-EMF therapy has recently been applied to a whole series of skin disorders in which there is a structural degeneration of the ECM, such as scarring, [76][77][78] aging, 79 and in SMs present on the buttocks, in correspondence of the gluteus medius and maximus muscles. 80 In all these studies, the application of EMF performed under vacuum conditions led to a normalization of the physical and mechanical properties of the skin, with an increase in skin tone linked to an elasto-collagen rebalancing.…”

BackgroundThe appearance of striae gravidarum (SG) during pregnancy is a common problem. The most common SG are abdominal striae, which can cause the greatest sequelae after pregnancy, and in the long term. There are several solutions to prevent and treat these striae, but not all are completely effective, and not without side effects.AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment that applies an electromagnetic field under vacuum (V‐EMF therapy) on the abdominal SG.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 26 women affected by abdominal SG and treated with V‐EMF therapy. The results were evaluated using two different 5‐point Likert Scales: one administered to the treated subjects to evaluate their satisfaction, and one to the doctors who performed the treatment, to evaluate the improvement of the striae. The presence of side effects, and the effects of sun exposure after treatment were also considered.ResultsOnly two treated subjects rated their level of satisfaction with a Score III on the Liker Scale. Everyone else expressed higher levels of satisfaction. Only one doctor rated the improvement of the striae with a Liker scale score of III. All the others reported greater improvements. No discomfort or side effects were noted either during the individual treatment sessions, or at the end of the treatment. The striae showed a newfound ability to tan.ConclusionsV‐EMF therapy proves to be a valid, safe, and effective treatment modality for SG.

BackgroundThere are many aesthetic treatments aimed at combating aging. In the most common and frequently used ones there are often side effects, albeit minor ones. However, sometimes it is necessary to use medications before or after treatments.ObjectivesTo evaluate the anti‐aging efficacy and application safety of a therapy based on the combination of vacuum and electromagnetic fields (EMFs).MethodsA retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the aesthetic effects of the treatment on 217 subjects. Before treatment (T0) and after the last session (T1), skin hydration levels, the amount of sebum present and the pH were measured. The presence of discomfort during the sessions and side effects at T1 was verified. At T1, the levels of satisfaction of the patients and of the doctors who performed the treatment were assessed. At 3 and 6 months of follow‐up the aesthetic results were re‐evaluated.ResultsFor all treated subjects, an evident qualitative improvement was observed in the quality of the skin of the neck and face, with an increase in tone and a reduction in wrinkles. The instrumental tests highlighted a normalization of skin hydration, pH, and sebum values. High levels of satisfaction at T0 and good stability of results up to 6 months of follow‐up were reported. No discomfort was referred during the treatment sessions, nor any side effects after the entire treatment.ConclusionsThe treatment that exploits the synergy between vacuum and EMFs is very promising given the effectiveness and safety of the technique.
