Effective treatment of demodicosis

Effective treatment of demodicosis is actually a flexible concept. There are many ways to eliminate this problem. The disease occurs against the background of hormonal imbalances in the human body. They are associated with the adrenal glands, thyroid gland and ovarian failure. All this provokes the release of abundant sebum. In such conditions, the subcutaneous mite "unfolds" its activity.

There are special principles by which treatment must be carried out. First of all, it is necessary to destroy the tick colony with acaricides. Then, favorable conditions for their presence and reproduction are eliminated. For this, soap with salicylic acid or ichthyol soap with salicylic acid is used. After these procedures, it is necessary to undergo an examination and treat diseases of internal organs. It is advisable to eliminate possible foci of the disease. Sweet, spicy, fatty, fried and hot foods are excluded from their diet. Facial massage is prohibited. Squeezing pimples and using a scrub are prohibited.

In addition to the basic rules, it is necessary to use special tablets, ointments and soap. Capsules eliminate the mite itself, ointment dries the skin and restores normal production of subcutaneous fat. Soap performs a similar function. Detailed treatment of demodicosis with these "drugs" will be described below.

Darsonvalization procedures for acne are based on the effect of weak pulsed alternating current of high voltage. Current pulses affect the skin through a glass electrode and activate microcirculation, expand the capillaries of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, eliminate vascular spasm. The action of currents lowers the threshold of sensitivity of pain receptors to external stimuli, which provides a pronounced analgesic and antipruritic effect. In addition, thanks to darsonvalization, metabolic processes in the skin and subcutaneous fat improve, tissue nutrition and oxygen supply are enhanced, and sebaceous gland secretion is normalized.

Ozone therapy for demodicosis

Ozone therapy for demodicosis is one of the modern methods for eliminating skin problems. This procedure can really help in treating the problem and has earned the trust of many people. However, ozone therapy alone will not be enough. It is necessary to use other measures in combination! Ozone in the right doses acts as an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, bactericidal, antiviral, cytostatic, anti-stress, fungicidal and analgesic agent. Ozone therapy is successfully used today in almost all areas of medicine, including dermatology and cosmetology.

The fundamental difference between ozone therapy and other cosmetic products and procedures is its dual action, both on the surface of the body and inside the body, which leads to normalization of nutrition, hydration, protection and renewal of metabolic processes in the skin. The approach to treatment and the choice of methods are strictly individual. In cosmetology practice, methods of introducing OCS into the dermis, subcutaneous fat and intracapillary injections have found wide application, which allow effectively combating cellulite, lipodystrophy, reducing wrinkles, improving skin turgor and treating various dermatological and cosmetological diseases. Treatment of demodicosis in this way is widely used.

Facial cleansing for demodicosis

Facial cleansing for demodicosis can be done manually. But, for this, it is worth inviting a person who understands this matter. After all, it would seem that what could be easier, you can clean the skin yourself - press and an acne, a pimple pops out. But such amateur activity often leads to the formation of bruises at best, and ugly scars at worst, which can only be removed by skin polishing.

Good preliminary preparation for the procedure, correct positioning of hands in relation to the skin, the ability to correctly calculate the pressure force will make manual cleaning as gentle and effective as possible. In addition, a cosmetologist cleaning the skin with his hands works with each individual comedone. Therefore, with a properly done manual cleaning, the comedone is completely removed, because otherwise inflammation occurs on the skin.

Before performing manual facial cleansing, the skin should be cleaned with a cleanser. Then steaming should be done so that the pores are widened and acne comedones are squeezed out without much effort. After this, the actual cleaning is carried out, while the cosmetologist's fingers are wrapped in sterile napkins. After completing the cleaning, masks with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects are applied to the skin. After removing the masks, it is possible to use darsenvale to improve blood microcirculation, reduce inflammation and resolve dense inflammatory elements. This is how manual facial cleansing should be done for problem skin (pimples, demodex, acne).

Laser treatment of demodicosis

Laser treatment of demodicosis is effective. The problem is eliminated by unique light beams directed at the skin, this is a purely cosmetic remedy. Advantages: this type of treatment does not cause allergic reactions, side effects and addiction, is comfortable and painless, reduces the risk of life-threatening diseases, the result lasts for a long time.

Under the influence of the laser, healing and recovery processes in all tissues of the body are improved. Immunity is significantly increased. Laser therapy has an analgesic, antispasmodic, immunostimulating, antibacterial, anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, laser therapy improves vascular tone, including peripheral circulation.

The main factor of the laser is a specially directed light flux, the effect of which on living tissue can be called unique. At the same time, nothing foreign is introduced into the body, but only the self-regulation system, in which, for some reason, some violations occurred, is gently changed. Laser therapy does not cause addiction, since the procedures are carried out from 5 to 15 courses, and are repeated 2-3 times a year, in acute diseases it leads the body to complete recovery, and in chronic forms of the disease - to long-term remission, and as a result - to an improvement in the quality of life. Such treatment of demodicosis is modern.

Treatment of demodicosis with nitrogen

Treatment of demodicosis with nitrogen is called cryotherapy. This service is available in any beauty salon. This method has been used in practice for over 40 years.

Liquid nitrogen is successfully used to remove warts, keratomas and other viral benign neoplasms.

It freezes water in tissue, such as warts, and causes deep vascular spasm. A crust forms at the site of such cold cauterization, which eventually falls off, and new pink skin forms in its place. Since these skin formations are viral in nature, it is not always possible to get rid of them by influencing them only from the outside. In some cases, internal treatment and consultation with an oncologist may be necessary. Since nitrogen has found its application in dermatology, it has become much easier to cope with serious skin diseases, it helps in cases where even hormonal ointments do not help, or even more so hormonal ointments. In addition, liquid nitrogen in cryotherapy rejuvenates the skin.

Cryomassage

Cryomassage for demodicosis helps to achieve a therapeutic and cosmetic effect. It is based on the short-term effect of cold on the tissue. Cold first causes a sharp spasm of the vessels, and then their fairly stable expansion. Due to this, peripheral blood supply improves and all metabolic processes are accelerated, due to which the necessary vitamins, amino acids and microelements are brought into the skin. 10-15 minutes after the procedure, the patient feels a rush of warmth to the face - as if something in the skin opened and it began to breathe.

Like chemical peeling, cryomassage promotes exfoliation of the surface layers of the epidermis and the emergence of young healthy cells. But with cryomassage, this process is more physiological and gentle. After the massage, sebum secretion is significantly reduced and the face "comes to life" - it becomes fresh, pink, as if glowing from the inside. In addition, liquid nitrogen wonderfully cares for the skin and helps prevent its aging.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is necessary for demodicosis. The course of treatment of the disease by cryotherapy is usually 10-15 or more procedures (cryodermabrasion, cryopeeling) in various combinations, usually 2-3 times a week. Joint therapy by a dermatologist and a dermatocosmetologist is necessary. In this case, medications affect the demodex, and cosmetic procedures restore the protective functions of the skin to a state where the skin can cope with the parasite on its own.

In addition, patients should be examined by an endocrinologist, review their diet, and it is better to switch to a dairy-vegetable diet during treatment. Before starting treatment for the disease, it is necessary to get rid of all cosmetics and accessories (powder brushes, lipstick brushes) and avoid using decorative cosmetics throughout the treatment. To moisturize the skin, use light gels, preferably in single-use packages or in a container with a dispenser to prevent mites from getting into the bottle.

It is recommended to change bed linen daily and wash pillows and blankets more frequently, followed by ironing on both sides, since temperature effects are detrimental to the pathogen.

Treatment of demodicosis is long-term, because we select an individual regimen for each patient.

There is no specific prevention of inflammation, but if you follow a diet, take proper care of your skin, and do not use someone else's cosmetics, the likelihood of getting sick is sharply reduced. Patients who have achieved stable remission should switch to plant foods in the spring and fall during periods of exacerbation of inflammation, pay more attention to the condition of the skin, and take preventive measures by visiting a dermatocosmetologist.

New in the treatment of demodicosis

New in the treatment of demodicosis are several methods that do not require taking medications.

Cryomassage of the face or cold massage. This procedure has a beneficial effect on the skin's immunity and is recommended to eliminate the problem. But it is conditional, brings only relief and a pleasant coolness on the face. If you need to quickly relieve an exacerbation and get rid of itching and burning, this will be effective.

Laser therapy. An effective drug-free treatment that also gives a conditional result and is used after the treatment of the disease. The treatment is carried out by unique light streams directed at the skin, this is a purely cosmetic means.

TCA peeling. Do not confuse with regular peeling, as the latter is contraindicated for this disease. This is a procedure for cleansing the skin of the infected layer of cells. The skin is rejuvenated, pigmentation, wrinkles, acne, scars and marks are reduced, itching and roughness disappear, the relief is leveled, inflammatory phenomena pass.

Ozone therapy. This procedure can really help in treating the disease and has earned the trust of many people. However, ozone therapy alone will not be enough. It is necessary to use other measures in combination! Ozone in the right doses acts as an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, bactericidal, antiviral, cytostatic, anti-stress, fungicidal and analgesic agent. Ozone therapy is successfully used today in almost all areas of medicine, including dermatology and cosmetology.

Plasmapheresis. Can only be used in conjunction with other treatment methods (techniques). The procedure is quite dangerous and is contraindicated for many. A consultation with a specialist and, possibly, testing are required. The process itself is painless for a person.

Diet for demodicosis

Diet plays an important role in demodicosis. Improper nutrition, on the contrary, creates an optimal environment for the existence and reproduction of the mite.

You will have to give up salty, sweet, smoked and spicy foods, since such products can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to even more skin inflammation. It is important that the diet contains as little glucose as possible, since it is the most favorable food for ticks. Honey and citrus fruits should also be excluded, since these products increase the allergic reaction caused by the parasites.

Vegetables, fermented milk products and unsweetened fruits should be included in the diet as often as possible, since products such as yogurt, fermented baked milk, cottage cheese and kefir have a beneficial effect on the intestines, and the fiber contained in plant foods will help cleanse the gastrointestinal tract of food debris.

The diet for the disease recommends enriching the diet with cereals. For this, grain bread and various porridges, such as oatmeal, pearl barley, buckwheat and millet, should appear in the menu. The drinking regime during the diet for the disease should be strengthened, so it is worth drinking more compotes, water, unsweetened teas and juices. This will make the treatment of demodicosis really effective.
