Resumo
Entre todas as formas de tratamento da celulite, as mais utilizados e de fácil acesso são os produtos cosméticos
contendo substâncias ativas que são protetoras de vasos, anti-inflamatórios, estimulantes de microcirculação
periférica e agentes lipolíticos. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a eficácia clínica anticelulite de um extrato comercial
de Trichilia catigua (Catuaba) e Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham (Marapuama). Participaram deste estudo 27
mulheres voluntárias entre 20 e 40 anos com hidrolipodistrofia ginoide moderada. O extrato de Trichilia catigua
e Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham foi incorporado em uma emulsão cosmética e os voluntários aplicaram esta
formulação uma vez por dia, durante 60 dias. Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: espessura da camada
hipodérmica por ultrassonografia em modo B, temperatura cutânea e medidas antropométricas. O produto testado
propiciou aumento na temperatura da pele após 60 dias de aplicação sem afetar a espessura da camada hipodérmica.
Além disso, observou-se uma redução estaticamente significativa na circunferência de áreas corporais específicas
(estômago, cintura, parte superior da coxa, parte superior da perna e quadril superior). Assim, os resultados
indicaram que o extrato de Trichilia catigua e Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham foi efetivo na redução do aspecto
da hidrolipodistrofia ginoide, provavelmente pela redução do edema e pela melhoria da microcirculação local.
Among all forms of treatment for cellulite, the most commonly used and easy to access are the cosmetic products containing active substances which are vessel-protective, anti-inflammatory, peripheral microcirculation stimulants and lipolytic agents. In this work, the clinical anticellulite efficacy of a commercial extract of Trichilia catigua (Catuaba) and Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham (Marapuama) was evaluated. Twenty-seven woman subjects between the ages of 20 and 40 years old with moderate gynoid lipodystrophy participated in this study. The Trichilia catigua and Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham extract was incorporated into a cosmetic emulsion, and the subjects applied this formulation once a day for 60 days. The following parameters were assessed: hypodermic layer thickness by B-mode ultrasonography, cutaneous temperature, and anthropometric measurements. The test product caused an increase in skin temperature after 60 days application without affecting the hypodermic layer thickness. In addition, a statistically significant reduction in circumference of specific body areas was observed (stomach, waist, upper thigh, upper leg, and upper hip). Thus, the results indicated that the Trichilia catigua and Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham extract was effective in the reduction of the gynoid lipodystrophy aspect, likely by reducing edema and improving local microcirculation.
