Applied Kinotherapy in the skin

Comments Off
On the basis of Prof. Dr. A. Kligman justified Kinotherapy is a detailed strategy against on premature skin which effect the aging . Components of the strategy are the preservation of the NMF (water, protection against radicals) and the barrier layers of protection against solar radiation and their consequences, the promotion of regenerative processes and reflections on the budget of the fatty skin. The individual skin care for skin damage and skin problem is based on suitable base creams and Kinotherapy agents described. Treatment processes are accompanied by this procedures. The principle of the enlarged “Outside-in-therapy (extended cryotherapy  ) and examples temporarily acting” anti-aging “agents are shown.
This approach against premature skin aging is based on the findings of the Kinotherapy. The Kinotherapy is a new field in the border area between dermatology and cosmetics and has the long-term stabilization of the skin barrier (stratum corneum) to the target. Through the intact skin barrier is the skin from drying as a whole and the intrusion of germs, allergens, irritants, radicals and radiation protection. The protection causes inflammation and other skin problems gradually fade away as the outer shutter through the intact skin barrier be held back.
Obviously, this seemingly simple principle does not solve all problems. Studies by Professor A. Kligman, however, could show that already moistening substances to a high stabilization of the skin barrier and contribute to clinically relevant results . He coined in this context the term “Outside-in Therapy.” In other words: The treatment of the stratum corneum ( “Outside”) with appropriate skin care substances achieved on a lasting similar effects in the epidermis (in) how it knows topically-acting drugs – without side effects. Therefore, it is close to the principle of Kinotherapy to support prevention of skin problems in the cosmetic skin care to be transferred. The prevention of premature skin aging, “anti-aging“, fits in seamlessly with. Especially in the field of “anti-aging” one speaks of “Extended cryotherapy  ” if the horny layer controls appropriate for cosmetic ingredients such as vitamins, non-invasive subsequently re-opened and closed. This can also regenerative processes in areas below the stratum corneum be triggered without affecting the skin. The cosmetics applied Kinotherapy sets with appropriate combination of treatment processes and accompanying measures and is divided as follows

When the medicine makes you sick!

The drug is supposed to treat us, it is not too often that makes us (often) sick!

medicineAccording to health insurance, 130 000 hospitalizations per year due to adverse drug reactions.
The toll of accidents drug is particularly dramatic in USA: “The side effects are twice as frequent after 65 years. They are responsible for 10 to 20% of hospitalizations in this age group, “says Professor Jean Doucet, head of department at the CHU of Rouen. The vulnerability of older due mainly to two factors.  First, their high consumption of pills. “1.2 million americans take more than seven different classes of drugs,” notes Professor Hubert German, medical officer of health insurance.  The risk of accident drug is also increased by aging bodies: the kidney that removes less molecules, and the bone becomes fragile.

The drug should be used as a last resort, when the body, too weak, can no longer fight for himself. Making the body are leading bulwark seems a necessity in a world where the environment constantly modified by human activity is increasingly aggressive to humans worrying rise in autoimmune diseases, allergies , Cancer.

Lots of natural health products pro-organization is too often viewed by the medical profession (as patients) as a passive machine, it is not.  The body is alive (it seems stupid to have to remember!), And it responds to its environment, attacks.

And if it helps the body to defend itself, to strengthen, rather than trying to replace it with drugs?


Acne : The problem & solution

Comments Off

Acne is a combination of several factors that lead to infection of the skin. This evil, which develops at puberty under the influence of testosterone, affects 80% of adolescents.Acne panic

Acne can be a small problem or a personal tragedy!  Most people who have reached or exceeded the teens have experienced skin and irritated by unsightly acne.

For most of us, acne is a problem sometimes associated with adolescence, sometimes also present intermittently throughout life.  For others, acne is an aggressive invader, always there, irritating, ugly, ubiquitous, that gene in their relations with themselves and to others.  Some, but they are rare, have little or not suffered from this problem.

Needless to deprive you of chocolate or even wash your face several times a day!  It is a disorder of adolescence when hormones play a role.

But if acne usually fades to the age of 20 years, some adults continue to suffer until an advanced age. Indeed, contrary to commonly accepted image, acne is not just for adolescents: 20% of women and 14% of men between 35 and 55 years are equally affected!
. Acne occurs when hair follicles of your skin are clogged.

 Nobody knows exactly why this happens or why it varies in intensity from one individual to another, even within the same family. We do not know why acne commonly appears after puberty, although the sebaceous glands widen considerably at that time, which could be a factor. Fat manufactured by the hair follicles, oil, is useful in normal skin because it will not dry out and protect themselves from infection.

 When the oil can no longer drain, it accumulates and becomes a holder of bacteria. The sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to the presence in the blood of a hormone called testosterone, which is naturally both in men than in women. Read the rest of this entry »
