ABSTRACT

Background:

The skin, our body's largest organ, hosts a complex microbiome that plays a pivotal role in maintaining health and protecting against pathogens. Even slight disruptions to this delicate balance can influence skin health and disease. Among the diverse microbial community, Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) subspecies defendens is known for its positive contribution to skin health. However, the interaction between living microbe probiotics and wound healing after aesthetic procedures, such as microneedling, remains unexplored.

Methods:

Our study included 40 participants with acne scars who underwent four microneedling sessions spaced three weeks apart. They were randomly assigned to Group 1, receiving a regimen with live C. acnes defendens strain XYCM42, or Group 2, following a conventional skincare routine with a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Our study assessed various endpoints, including the Clinician's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (CGAIS), clinical safety, improvement in acne scars using Goodman and Baron's Qualitative and Quantitative Acne Scars Grading Scale and Subject's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (SGAIS).

Results:

Our analysis of live and photo grading data for CGAIS unveiled a statistically significant difference between the two groups, with Group 1 (XYCM42-based regimen) showing remarkable improvement. A similar positive trend was observed in the photo grading for CGAIS. Additionally, participant diaries indicated that Group 1 experienced a faster decline in posttreatment parameters, including erythema, swelling, burning/tingling, and itching.

Conclusion:

Integrating a microbiome-optimized, probiotic XYCM42-based regimen with microneedling demonstrated a high safety profile and enhanced treatment outcomes. These findings mark a milestone in aesthetic dermatology, supporting innovative microbiome-based approaches to improve skin health and aesthetics.
