Estudo comparativo do tratamento de hiperpigmentação axilar utilizando ativos cosméticos e eletroterapia.

Abstract

There are several causes that can generate axillary hyperpigmentation, among the main are pregnant, allergic contact dermatitis, contraceptive use and certain deodorants or friction clothes. cosmetic actives such as kojic acid and idebenone have antioxidant and bleaching properties and the combination of these assets with electroporation produces increased permeation. This non-invasive method generates short pulses of high voltage resulting in transient structural disruption of the lipid bilayer membranes facilitating the action of these assets. This study evaluated the axillary hyperpigmentation in 4 female volunteers, selected the University of Santa Cruz do Sul - UNISC, aged 20 and 30, phototype less than II and which accept the conditions contained in the consent form clarified approved by the Ethics Committee of the institution under protocol 1385624. Selected volunteers received in cabin every 7 days for two months a protocol that consisted of the application of kojic acid 3% in the right armpit and idebenone 1% in the left axilla, followed by electroporation. At home, daily applied the care home in your right and left armpit, following the application of the order in the cabin. After 8 weeks it was evaluated by the development of comparative photographs of the start of treatment. Observations with the Dino-Lite indicate evidence of photographic images showing a further fragmentation of melanin with the adoption of this protocol. Further studies with a larger number of volunteers and a longer time of this protocol are needed to confirm the results.
