Neurodermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that often accompanies those affected for many years. Typical are dry, intensely itchy areas of skin that occur in flare-ups and can noticeably burden everyday life. In addition to the visible skin changes, disorders of the skin barrier, the immune system and inner balance often play a central role.
Neurodermatitis, medically known as atopic dermatitis, is a non-contagious, chronic skin condition. It is characterised by inflamed, reddened and very dry patches of skin accompanied by severe itching. The condition often appears in childhood but can also begin in adulthood. Typical body regions are the face, neck, the crooks of the arms and knees, and the hands. The course of neurodermatitis is individual and usually characterised by alternating phases of acute flare-ups and intervals with fewer symptoms.
The symptoms of neurodermatitis can vary in severity. Particularly characteristic is the intense itching, which often leads to scratching and further damages the skin. The affected skin areas are often reddened, flaky and very dry. In acute phases the skin can weep, while in chronic stages it appears thickened and cracked. Many of those affected also suffer from sleep disorders and psychological stress, as itching and visible skin changes can considerably impair quality of life.
The exact causes of neurodermatitis are complex. A genetically determined disorder of the skin barrier means that moisture is stored less well and irritants can penetrate more easily. At the same time, the immune system reacts hypersensitively.
Typical triggers for neurodermatitis flare-ups include stress, allergenic stimuli, climatic factors, hormonal changes, infections and certain foods or textiles.
In the High Care Longevity Concept, neurodermatitis is not viewed exclusively as a skin problem but as an expression of a disturbed interplay of skin barrier, immune system and inner regulation. The goal is to lastingly calm the skin, reduce inflammatory processes and specifically support the regeneration of the skin barrier. Gentle, cause-oriented support for the skin The device-based applications within the High Care Longevity Concept are specially tailored to the needs of sensitive, neurodermatitis-prone skin. They work without cortisone and without mechanical irritation, relying instead on gentle, scientifically grounded principles of action.
IONO Jet + Barrier Repair active ingredients – With the help of the IONO Jet, specially selected active ingredients are introduced into the skin contact-free and particularly gently. The aim is to stabilise the disturbed skin barrier, bind moisture better and calm inflammatory reactions. As a result, the skin can appear more resilient and itching can be noticeably reduced.
SPM® Face – gentle lymphatic relief – The SPM® method works with finely dosed pressure impulses to support lymph flow and reduce inflammation-related congestion in the tissue. At the same time, the treatment has a relaxing effect on the nervous system, which plays an important role in stress-related neurodermatitis flare-ups.
DERMIO CARE – LED & negative ion therapy – DERMIO CARE uses red-blue LED light and highly dosed negative ions. While red LED light promotes regenerative processes in the skin, blue light has an anti-inflammatory effect. The negative ions help to reduce oxidative stress, stabilise the skin's pH value and relieve itching – without thermal stress.
The causes are multifactorial: genetic predisposition, a disturbed skin barrier, immune system dysregulation, stress, environmental factors and diet. The barrier function of the skin plays a central role.
Neurodermatitis cannot be cured, but it is very treatable. The key is to avoid flare-ups, strengthen the skin barrier and specifically regulate inflammation – as with the device-based treatments from Weyergans.
Treatments such as IONO-Jet or Dermio Care lastingly strengthen skin function – entirely without irritation, long-term and effective. An adapted care routine and lifestyle also support skin health.
No. The two conditions have different causes, courses and symptoms. Neurodermatitis is usually associated with severe itching and often occurs in flare-ups, while psoriasis is characterised by excessive cell formation and silvery scaling. On this page we inform you about the treatment of psoriasis with the High Care Longevity Concept.
The skin usually lacks a balanced ratio of lipids, moisture and natural barrier factors. Immunological imbalances can also play a role.
