Cellulite is one of the most common skin defects in women, of multifactorial etiology. The dominant hypotheses that aim to explain the pathophysiology of cellulite indicate an excessive accumulation of water in the intercellular matrix, negative changes in tissue microcirculation, differentiated anatomical structure of tissues depending on sex, race, biological type, hormonal changes in the body, lifestyle together with diet and physical activity. Predispositions to the development of lipodystrophy are genetically and hormonally conditioned, however, environmental factors are also important. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combined therapy with the use of radio waves and vacuum-mechanical massage in a 27-year-old woman.
Acne tarda is a skin dermatosis that affects adults after the age of 25. It may be primary, recurrent or persistent, that is a continuation of juvenile acne. Stress, hormonal changes in the body and the environment play a crucial role in its etiopathogenesis. The aim of the study was to describe the factors influencing the occurrence and course of the acne tarda. Comprehensive knowledge is necessary for the effective conduct of cosmetology therapies, not only in the field of skin structure, but also in the processes occurring under the influence of various internal and external factors.
The rosacea is a chronic skin dermatosis, which course and the occurrence of individual stages is influenced by many factors, both internal and external. The study aimed to analyze the factor influencing the occurrence and course of this disease. The natural microbiome, free radicals, medications and food are factors important to the appearance of the skin. The type of physical activity, the level of stress, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, the condition of the body will significantly affect the course of rosacea.
Skin stretch marks are changes common to both women and men of all ages. Eliminating them is difficult and often does not bring the expected results. The aim of the study was to review methods that reduce visibility and eliminate stretch marks. Most treatments give visible results in the case of stretch marks in the inflammatory phase. In order to eliminate white stretch marks, combined therapies must be used in the atrophy phase. It is recommended to use exfoliating preparations, laser therapy, radiofrequency and more and more popular micro-needle methods, which, when used in accordance with the recommendations, give great hope for the effectiveness of the therapy. Individually selected cosmetology therapy can not only improve the appearance of the skin with stretch marks, but also restore self-confidence.
Introduction and objective Acne vulgaris is a common, chronic and inflammatory skin disease of the folliculopilosebaceous unit. According to the literature, acne affects 85% adolescents and 50% adulthood, with an increasing tendency. The symptoms of acne are skin lesions such as comedones, pustules, papules as well as nodules and they generally appear on face, shoulders, chest and back. Based on its severity acne can be divided into following categories: mild, moderate and severe. The pathogenesis of acne is multivariate. Significant importance is attributed to hormonal changes, the role of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and the balance between C. acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, keratinization disorders, excessive sebum production, circadian rhythm disorders, a lot of stress in life and improper nutrition as a result of imbalanced diet. Finding the cause of acne is necessary to cure the disease. The study shows that supplementation seems to be a good solution in the case of acne vulgaris. The aim of the study was to present the most commonly used substances in supplements for acne skin, their properties and possibilities in the treatment of acne vulgaris. The intention of the authors was to draw attention to the possibilities of supplementing dermatological acne treatments with supplements. Pharmacists are often the first point of contact for acne vulgaris patients looking for a way to improve their skin condition. Review methods The PubMed database was reviewed for the most commonly used substances in therapy of acne skin. Publications from the period 2010-2022 were analyzed in terms of the following keywords: „vitamin D”, „omega acids”, „antioxidants”, „berberine”, „lactoferrin” and „inositol” in collocation with „acne”. A review of 31 articles on the possibility of acne supplementation were reviewed. Supplementation of vitamin D, omega acids, antioxidants, berberine, probiotics, inositol and lactoferrin is discussed. Abbreviated description of the state of knowledge The effectiveness of taking supplements containing antioxidants, omega acids, berberine, probiotics, lactoferrin, inositol and vitamin D was discussed. Summary 1. Deficiencies of vitamin D3, vitamins A and E are often noted in patients with acne. 2. Supporting dermatological acne treatments with supplementation with omega acids and probiotics alleviates the side effects of treatment. 3. In the analyzed studies, there were no differences in the effectiveness of omega-3 acids compared to omega-6 acids in supplementation in patients with acne. 4. Multi-component preparations seem to be a better solution than supplements containing only one active ingredient. 5. More research is needed to be able to assess the real effectiveness of individual substances and determine their appropriate dosage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
