Розробка комплексного методу оцінки фізіологічного стану шкіри

Abstract

The objective. Development of a comprehensive method for assessing the impact of external treatments on the functional state of the skin. Materials and methods. The study included 27 healthy people (21 women and 6 people), which were divided into two groups: I – 17 people (Ia - from 18 to 35 years, Ib – from 36–67 years), II – 10 people (IIa – from 18–35 years, IIb -from 36–67 years). And the group received emollient applications with ceramides on the skin of the hands 1–2 times a day for one week. Group II did not apply any external agents to the skin of the hands. All subjects were determined physiological parameters of the skin (moisture, elasticity, smoothness, pigmentation) on the device Aramo TS using Skin XPPRO programs. Results. In all groups at the beginning of the study, the skin was assessed as moderately dehydrated with altered relief and reduced folds and wrinkles. The degree of pigmentation and elasticity of the skin corresponded to the norm. After a week of observation, the moisture of the epidermis was restored in groups Ia and Ib, groups IIa and IIb did not change significantly. The skin relief in persons Ia and Ib groups was better smoothed and corresponded to the limits of the norm, in groups IIa and IIb the indicators remained unchanged. The elasticity of the skin in group I increased, in group II remained unchanged according to the indicators at the beginning of the study. The level of skin pigmentation decreased significantly in group Ia, tended to decrease in group Ib and almost did not change in groups IIa and IIb. Conclusions: The complex technique with the use of instrumental studies of structural and functional parameters of the skin on the device Aramo TS provides an opportunity to objectify the assessment of the impact of external means on the functional state of the skin. The effectiveness of the emollient with ceramides in the subjects under 35 years of age was established, which was more pronounced in comparison with the group of people over 35 years of age.
