Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic skin conditions and can considerably restrict the everyday life of those affected. The visible skin changes are only part of the problem – inflammatory processes throughout the body often also play a role.
Psoriasis is a non-contagious, chronic inflammatory condition of the skin. Typical are clearly defined, reddened patches of skin covered with silvery-white scales. The elbows, knees, scalp and lower back are frequently affected, but the 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 characterised 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 are: • 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 extensive changes. Many of those affected also suffer from psychological stress caused by 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 way. Triggers can include:
• Infections
• Hormonal changes
• Stress
• Skin injuries (Koebner phenomenon)
• Certain medications
• Unfavourable climatic conditions
We do not view psoriasis in isolation as a skin problem, but as a systemic condition. Our holistic approach aims to: • Strengthen the skin barrier • Regulate cell metabolism • Promote microcirculation • Reduce inflammatory processes
Our device-based High Care Longevity applications are specially designed to gently support sensitive skin affected by psoriasis – entirely without cortisone and without mechanical irritation. We combine state-of-the-art technologies with scientifically grounded principles of action.
IONO Jet + Sensitive Peel active ingredient – With the combination of a gentle jet of compressed air 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 the 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 the inhibition of inflammation, promotes the supply of skin cells and supports regeneration. Also has a relaxing effect through parasympathetic activation.
DERMIO CARE – LED & negative ion therapy – Here two effective principles are combined: red-blue LED light and highly dosed 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, stabilise the skin's pH and calm itching. Comparable benefits to gentle plasma, but without thermal stress – ideal for chronically inflamed skin.
