Influence of glycolic acid on microcirculation of blood in the skin at age-related changes

The article presents the results of studies of the effect of glycolic acid on blood circulation in the skin with age-related changes. It was found that the skin of the hands of men and women aged 30-60 years compared to people aged 20-30 years showed a reduction in the microcirculation index by an average of 18 % and a decrease in oxygen saturation of mixed blood by an average of 25%. After exposure of glycolic acid solutions of different concentrations the following changes are displayed: improving microcirculation indicator by average 23 % (36 % solution) and 26 % (50 % solution), an increase in oxygen saturation of mixed blood by 20 % (36 % solution) and 22 % (50 % solution) in comparison with the values ​​prior to exposure. Application of therapy aimed at correcting of blood microcirculation disorder is justified in patients of different age groups, including with the presence of pronounced wrinkles and other signs of aging.
