Hydradermabrasion through the lens of Line‐Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract

Abstract Background Hydradermabrasion, also known as “HydraFacial,” is an exfoliative cosmetic procedure for skin rejuvenation that has gained popularity. Despite its increasing popularity, clinical studies validating its efficacy with non‐invasive assessment of histological changes to the skin, are scarce. In this study, we used Line‐Field Confocal Optical Coherence Tomography (LC‐OCT), an optical imaging device, to non‐invasively visualize microscopic changes to skin anatomy after hydradermabrasion treatment. Materials/Methods Eight volunteers (Fitzpatrick skin types II–V) were recruited for this study. Images, using LC‐OCT (DeepLive, DAMAE medical) were obtained before and after hydradermabrasion and at 2 weeks post‐treatment. A commercially available hydradermabrasion device was utilized to perform the dermabrasion. Results In the epidermis, initially, a decrease in the average thickness of the stratum corneum, from 9.42 to 6.67 µm was visualized in LC‐OCT images after hydradermabrasion. However, at 2 weeks of follow‐up, the average stratum corneum thickness was 9.75 µm, resulting in an overall increase in the average thickness after treatment. Improved homogenization of the stratum corneum and decreased number of undulations in the epidermis post‐treatment were also visualized. In all the subjects, the superficial dermis appeared stretched, which returned to baseline by the 2‐week follow‐up. At the 2‐week follow‐up, there were no visible differences in the quality and quantity of collagen fibers in the dermis. Conclusion In our study, LC‐OCT images of the epidermis and dermis demonstrated microscopic features of skin rejuvenation when treated with hydradermabrasion. Thus, not only highlighting the efficacy of hydradermabrasion but also the potential of LC‐OCT to serve as a tool for visualizing the microscopic effects of cosmetic procedures on skin anatomy.
