Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic skin diseases and can significantly restrict the daily life of those affected. The visible skin changes are only part of the problem u2013 inflammatory processes throughout the entire body often play a role as well.
Psoriasis, colloquially known as scaly skin, is a non-contagious, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. Typical features are clearly defined, reddened skin areas covered with silvery-white scales. Elbows, knees, scalp and lower back are frequently affected, but hands, feet and nails can also show changes. There are various forms: the most common is psoriasis vulgaris, alongside special forms such as psoriatic arthritis (with joint involvement). The course is individual and usually characterized by recurring flare-ups.
The signs of psoriasis can vary greatly in severity, frequency and location. They often occur in flare-ups, between which the skin can temporarily heal.
Typical signs include: • Reddened, inflamed skin areas with silvery-white scales • Itching, burning or pain • Dry, cracked skin, sometimes with minor bleeding • Nail changes (pitting, thickening, discolouration) • Joint complaints in psoriatic arthritis
The severity ranges from small skin areas to large-scale changes. Many patients also suffer from psychological stress due to the visible skin symptoms.
The exact causes of psoriasis are not fully understood. What is certain, however, is that genetic factors play a major role and the immune system reacts in a dysregulated manner. Triggers can include:
u2022 Infections
u2022 Hormonal changes
u2022 Stress
u2022 Skin injuries (Ku00f6bner phenomenon)
u2022 Certain medications
u2022 Unfavourable climatic conditions
We do not view psoriasis in isolation as a skin problem, but as a systemic disease. Our holistic approach aims to: u2713 Strengthen the skin barrier u2713 Regulate cell metabolism u2713 Promote microcirculation u2713 Reduce inflammatory processes
Our device-based High Care Longevity treatments are specifically designed to gently support sensitive skin affected by psoriasis u2013 completely without cortisone and without mechanical irritation. We combine the latest technologies with scientifically based principles of action.
IONO Jet + Sensitive Peel Active Ingredient – Using the combination of gentle compressed air jet and low-frequency current, the specially developed Sensitive Peel active ingredient is introduced into the skin contact-free. Promotes the breakdown of cellular "waste products" (autophagy), calms inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory mediators, reduces micro-inflammation in the subacute stage. Particularly suitable for face and décolleté, where conventional creams are often not well tolerated.
SPM Face – Gentle Lymphatic Relief – This special vacuum therapy works with reduced suction intensity and an adapted rhythm to specifically relieve sensitive skin areas. Stimulates lymph flow and reduces swelling, lowers tissue pressure and supports inflammation inhibition, promotes the supply of skin cells and supports regeneration. Also has a relaxing effect through parasympathetic activation.
DERMIO CARE – LED & Negativ-Ionen-Therapie – Here two effective principles are combined: red-blue LED light and high-dose negative ions (Dermionology). Red LED light (~630 nm) promotes cell regeneration and improves skin structure, blue LED light (~420 nm) has an anti-inflammatory effect and inhibits the growth of certain bacteria. Negative ions reduce oxidative stress, stabilize skin pH and calm itching. Comparable benefits to gentle plasma, but without thermal stress – ideal for chronically inflamed skin.
