Objectives: This study reviews the fields of application of Biodermogenesi therapy, from the initial treatment of scars and stretch marks, up to the most recent anti-aging treatments, and passing through the treatment of dyschromia disorders. The objective is to demonstrate how, in some cases, to obtain a good aesthetic effect it is necessary to regenerate the tissues and, vice versa, that some regeneration treatments, which can also include Biodermogenesi therapy, can induce important aesthetic effects.
Introduction: Biodermogenesi is a therapy created for the treatment of scars and stretch marks. It combines the simultaneous application of electromagnetic and vacuum fields, both variable based on the morphology of the skin and characteristics such as its temperature. In addition to aesthetic treatment to reduce the visual stigma of stretch marks, research has highlighted a complete regeneration of the underlying dermal and subcutaneous tissues, with, in particular, the restructuring of the extracellular matrix. For this reason, the therapy has been extended to other application areas.
Materials / method: A careful review of the literature was performed both on PubMEd and on preprint platforms, to identify all the studies in which Biodermogenesi therapy was applied, using both the term "Biodermogenesi" and the terms "V-EMF therapy" (abbreviation of electromagnetic field and vacuum), "electromagnetic field", and "vacuum", individually and/or combined. On the identified articles, the following were analysed: the type of patients, the problems treated, the effects of the treatments, the final clinical evaluations, and the level of patient satisfaction after the therapy.
Results: The bibliographic search allowed to identify 6 articles in which Biodermogenesi therapy was used: 3 on scars, 1 on stretch marks, 1 on aging, and 1 on dyschromia. In total, 324 subjects were treated: 46 with facial scars; 60 with stretch marks, 217 for face antiaging, and 1 for dyschromia problems. All treatments led to an improvement compared to the initial situation with a positive clinical evaluation by the doctors. All treated subjects were satisfied with the results obtained. In particular, subjects with scars, stretch marks and dyschromia reported an improvement in their quality of life.
Conclusion: Biodermogenesi therapy is particularly effective in all situations in which degeneration of the extracellular matrix is present, from alterations related to scars and stretch marks, to degeneration related to aging. The regenerative effect of this matrix allows the restitutio ad integrum of the tissues, whereby the therapy induces the reduction of the stigma of scars and stretch marks, and a general complete remodeling of the face. Biodermogenesi therapy appears to be a connecting therapy between the aesthetic and regenerative worlds.
