These elements can have a significant negative impact on some individuals. As a<br />result, esthetic medicine is increasingly sought after as a solution to counteract these effects, enhancing both<br />appearance and self-esteem. The objective of the research was to observe the clinical and histological changes<br />in the skin of five women with photoaging, hyperpigmentation, rhytidosis, or acne scars after a single application<br />of recombinant enzymes.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> This longitudinal descriptive study was conducted on 5 women aged 47-65, randomly selected.<br />Photographic records and biopsies were taken before and after the treatment.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Clinical results revealed a significant improvement in skin quality and texture, with reduced skin laxity<br />and skin repositioning, as well as a decrease in hyperpigmented lesions and acne scars. Histologically, there was a<br />reduction in hyperkeratosis and collagen basophilia, along with regeneration of elastic and collagen fibers, showing<br />an increase in their integrity.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> A single dose of recombinant enzymes demonstrated improvement in skin quality both clinically and<br />histologically in 100% of the patients, proving to be a safe, reliable, and easy-to-apply treatment. It achieved high<br />levels of patient satisfaction, suggesting its potential to replace more invasive procedures.</p> Julio Alberto Giraldo Mesa, Gustavo Matute Turizo, Sara María Vieira Ríos, Valeria Kopytina, Jorge López Berroa Copyright (c) 2026 Julio Alberto Giraldo Mesa, Gustavo Matute Turizo, Sara María Vieira Ríos, Valeria Kopytina, Jorge López Berroa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.aboutscience.eu/index.php/aboutopen/article/view/3555 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000
