Introduction: The chemical peel consists of the application of chemical exfoliants that eliminate the layers of the skin so that it can regenerate with an improved texture and pigmentation. It is currently a valuable therapy in dermatology, however, few studies objectively evaluate its efficacy. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of peeling with 25% trichloroacetic acid in the treatment of facial skin rejuvenation. Method: An observational, analytical and longitudinal study was carried out in 250 patients from two hospitals (Surgical Clinic: “Hermanos Ameijeiras” and General Teaching: “Enrique Cabrera”), in the period between January 2010 and January 2020. Treatment It was applied monthly for 6 months. The final evaluation was carried out 3 months after the end of the treatment. Results: 238 women and 12 men were treated with an average age of 30.5 (± 8.4) years. After treatment, there were significant changes in the Glogau Photo Damage Scale (P=0.012), in the Lemperle Wrinkle Assessment Scale (P=0.016) and in the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (P=0.021). The adverse events found were burning, inflammation and scaling. The degree of satisfaction reported by the patients was good (4.4%) and very good (95.6%) (P=0.011). Conclusion: The 25% trichloroacetic acid peel proved to be effective and safe to reduce the signs of facial skin aging, associated with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Introduction: Chemical peeling consists of the application of one or more chemical ablative agents to the surface of the skin to induce keratolysis or keratocoagulation, with subsequent regeneration, achieving improved texture and pigmentation. It is currently a popular tool in the dermatology therapeutic arsenal, however, few studies objectively evaluate its efficacy. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 30% salicylic acid peeling in the treatment of facial skin rejuvenation. Method: An observational, analytical and longitudinal study was carried out in 280 patients from two hospitals (Surgical Clinic: “Hermanos Ameijeiras” and General Teaching: “Enrique Cabrera”), in the period between January 2010 and January 2020. Treatment It was applied monthly for 6 months. The final evaluation was carried out 3 months after the end of the treatment. Results: 256 women and 24 men were treated with an average age of 34.2 (± 6.3) years. After treatment, there were significant changes in the Glogau Photo Damage Scale (P = 0.015), in the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (P = 0.023) and in the Lemperle Wrinkle Assessment Scale (P = 0.017). The adverse events found were burning, inflammation and scaling. The degree of satisfaction reported by the patients was good (6.4%) and very good (93.5%) (P = 0.001). Conclusions: The 30% salicylic acid peel proved to be effective and safe to reduce the signs of facial skin aging, associated with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal microinjection of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) in the treatment of signs of neck aging. Method: An observational, analytical and longitudinal study was carried out in 60 patients from the Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico: “Hermanos Ameijeiras”, in the period between March 1, 2017 and March 31, 2020. The treatment was applied monthly for 1 year. The final evaluation was carried out 3 months after the end of the treatment. Results: 60 women with an average age of 45 ± 4.3 years were treated. After treatment, there were significant changes in the Glogau Photo Damage Scale (P = = 0.024), in the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (P <0.002) and in the Allergan Neck Transverse Lines Scale (P = 0.013). The adverse events found were pain, inflammation and ecchymosis. The degree of satisfaction reported by the patients was good (10.0%) and very good (90.0%) (P < 0.0012).

Abstract Background Many therapeutic options are currently available for facial skin rejuvenation, but little evidence exists about the efficacy of combining such procedures. Objectives To assess and investigate the synergic effect of HA and a-PRP injections on facial skin rejuvenation. Methods For this randomized controlled prospective study, 93 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized into three intervention groups to undergo a series of three treatments sessions with either a-PRP, HA or Cellular Matrix-BCT-HA (PRP-HA) injected on facial cheeks. Results A total of 93 patients were included. Treatment with Cellular Matrix BCT-HA led to a very significant improvement in the overall facial appearance compared to groups treated with a-PRP and HA alone (p&lt;0.0001). Participants treated with Cellular Matrix showed a 20%, 24% and 17% increase in FACE-Q score at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment, respectively. For the HA group, the improvement of FACE-Q score was 12%, 11% and 6% at 1, 3- and 6-months post-treatment, respectively, while the a-PRP group showed a 9% improvement in FACE-Q score at 1 month and 11% and 8% improvement at 3- and 6-months post-treatment, respectively.Biophysical measurements showed significantly improved skin elasticity for the group Cellular BCT-HA compared to a-PRP and HA alone. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions Combining a-PRP and HA seems to be a promising treatment for facial rejuvenation with a very significant improvement in facial appearance and skin elasticity compared to a-PRP or HA alone.

Background: In recent years, cosmetic acupuncture has gained popularity among individuals interested in improving their facial appearance. We have created an original facial check sheet (FCS) to obtain cosmetic acupuncture patients’ perspectives on treatment outcomes. This study examined the reliability and validity of FCS. Methods: We conducted an Internet survey on the appearance of the facial region among Japanese women. A reliability analysis was performed between each item of FCS. A multiple comparison procedure was used to determine the relationship between the age group, the FCS score, and the number of terms used in the open-ended question. Results: The most frequently stated concern was blotchiness and hyperpigmented spots (47.2%, n = 67). The FCS items showed reliability (Cronbach α = 0.871). The number of extracted terms and the FCS score showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.407; p < 0.001). There was a significant relationship between age and FCS score (p = 0.005, r2 = 0.255), which indicated that the FCS score increases with aging. Conclusions: The FCS can be used as a practical tool to evaluate facial appearances and assess satisfaction levels of patients who underwent cosmetic acupuncture or other facial skin rejuvenation procedures.
