title: Injection of all-trans retinoic acid for treatment of thin wrinkles.
abstract: The authors propose a treatment to improve skin texture and to decrease thin wrinkles and creases. The treatment is based on the use of 0.1% all-trans retinoic acid intradermic injections (with biopresence of 0.02%) combined with topic cream, immediately followed by 340 Nm blue light skin exposure. These procedures determine the retinoic binding protein stabilization that provides the acid intracellular penetration with its subsequent effects. An average of 10 sessions, once a week was required.
