The book explores modern skincare and aesthetic methods, providing practical recommendations for effective care aimed specifically for dry skin. It discusses strategies for maintaining remission, alleviating acute symptoms, and addressing aesthetic issues, emphasizing cosmetic approaches that can significantly enhance patients' quality of life.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes and mechanisms that contribute to the development of dryness. Dry skin is recognized as a distinct clinical condition and one of the main signs of chronic dermatological diseases like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. For many years, it was believed that only dermatologists were qualified to treat chronic skin conditions. However, recent research emphasizes that disruption of the epidermal barrier is a key factor in the evolution of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Restoring the skin's barrier function is thus crucial in managing dry skin, regardless of the underlying cause. This presents significant opportunities for skincare practitioners to utilize specialized products and procedures to help improve various skin ailments and restore patients' confidence.
In this book, a distinct section is dedicated to each disease, its pathogenesis, and skin characteristics. Subsequent chapters offer insights into the possibilities and limitations of various skincare procedures, aesthetic treatments, and nutritional support. They also provide recommendations for cleansing the skin, choosing basic care products, and evaluating cosmetic ingredients.
Particular attention is given to the skin microbiome and its role in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, given that maintaining a healthy microbiome, both on the skin and in the gut, has been shown to significantly influence the progression of these diseases and improve the overall skin condition.
This book will serve as a valuable resource for skincare practitioners looking to deepen their knowledge and effectively address the dermatological concerns of their patients. By combining insights from dermatology and cosmetology, it offers innovative approaches that can yield tangible benefits in skincare practice.
