Inflammatory Skin – Eczema/Psoriasis

Inflammatory Skin Conditions at Leicester MediSpa

At Leicester MediSpa, we understand the impact of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis on your overall well-being. These conditions can cause discomfort, redness, dryness, and unsightly irritable flare-ups that affect the texture and appearance of your skin. Whether it’s eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, which causes dry, itchy patches, or psoriasis, an autoimmune condition that leads to the rapid buildup of skin cells and scaly patches, managing these conditions effectively is crucial for improving both your skin health and quality of life.

Inflammation is the body’s natural defence mechanism in response to injury, infection, or irritation, and can be triggered by various factors such as external irritants, allergens, autoimmune disorders, underlying medical conditions, and inflammatory skin conditions and infections. When inflammation occurs in the skin, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort.

What is Skin Inflammation?

Skin inflammation, also known as dermatitis, refers to irritation or swelling of the skin, which can range from mild redness and itching to more severe rashes, blisters, and pain. It can significantly affect your daily life, causing discomfort and distress.

Common types of skin inflammation include:

  • Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Characterised by dry, itchy patches that often flare up due to allergens, stress, or environmental factors. It results in a compromised skin barrier, leaving the skin vulnerable to further irritation.
  • Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to multiply too rapidly, leading to thick, scaly patches that can affect any part of the body.
  • Contact Dermatitis: A result of skin contact with irritants or allergens, leading to redness, itching, and inflammation.
  • Damaged Skin Barrier: Often caused by external factors or harsh products, this condition weakens the skin’s natural protective layer, leading to heightened sensitivity, dryness, and inflammation.

Treatment Options

Dermalux® Tri-Wave MD – Medical LED light therapy

The Dermalux Tri-Wave MD is a medically certified device renowned for its efficacy in treating inflammatory skin conditions, including psoriasis and wound healing. Utilising near-infrared (NIR) and red light wavelengths, it delivers targeted therapeutic benefits by promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation. Red light enhances collagen production and accelerates tissue regeneration, making it ideal for calming irritation and supporting the healing process. Meanwhile, NIR penetrates deeper layers of the skin, improving circulation, reducing pain, and aiding in the resolution of chronic inflammation. Together, these wavelengths create a synergistic effect, offering a safe, non-invasive solution for restoring skin health and alleviating symptoms of inflammatory conditions.

Microneedling with Exosomes

Microneedling with exosomes is an innovative treatment available at Leicester MediSpa, specifically designed to harness the regenerative and anti-inflammatory benefits, tailored to address inflammatory skin conditions based on their severity. Our approach begins with a comprehensive skin analysis to assess suitability and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure, involves creating precise micro-channels in the skin using fine needles. This process activates the skin’s natural healing mechanisms, stimulating collagen and elastin production for improved firmness and texture. When enhanced with exosomes, the treatment delivers unparalleled benefits. Exosomes; tiny extracellular vesicles pivotal in cellular communication and repair, provide targeted signals to skin cells to promote regeneration. Exosomes are micro-vesicles that contain thousands of growth factors, peptides, cytokines, and nutrients with hyaluronic acid designed to support skin regeneration. Their potent anti-inflammatory properties help to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and accelerate the healing process.

Whole Body Cryotherapy

Whole-body cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extremely low temperatures (approx. -85°C) for a short duration of 3 minutes, triggering a physiological response that promotes healing and reduces inflammation. During the process, blood vessels constrict, redirecting blood flow to vital organs, where it is enriched with oxygen and nutrients. As the body rewarms, this nutrient-dense blood is recirculated, reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair. This mechanism helps alleviate symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, by calming irritated skin, reducing redness, and supporting the regeneration of a healthier skin barrier.

Additionally, studies have shown that whole-body cryotherapy offers antipruritic benefits, helping to relieve itching, and analgesic effects, which help reduce pain and discomfort. These combined benefits make whole-body cryotherapy a natural, non-invasive approach to improving skin health and enhancing overall well-being.

Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna

Infrared sauna therapy can provide significant relief for individuals suffering from inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, which are driven by both inflammatory and autoimmune components. These conditions are not localised and affect multiple systems within the body, making holistic approaches particularly beneficial. Infrared saunas can help by fighting inflammation, reducing stress, and improving overall skin health. This therapy has been shown to reduce the severity of skin lesions by lowering pro-inflammatory chemicals in the blood, stimulating the shedding of overgrown skin cells, and providing visible improvement in the plaque lesions, along with physical relief from inflammation and irritation.

Infrared sauna therapy targets systemic inflammation, which plays a key role in both psoriasis and eczema flare-ups. Studies have shown that infrared heat helps lower C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, and promotes improved blood circulation. This not only helps reduce the risk or severity of flare-ups but also helps control the progression of the disease. Infrared saunas further benefit patients by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and balancing the sympathetic nervous system, which can be a trigger for flare-ups. While there is no cure for psoriasis or eczema, infrared sauna therapy can help manage flare-ups, improve skin health, and enhance overall well-being.
