Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a potentially progressive neuro-vascular disorder that generally affects the facial skin and eyes. Rosacea blood vessels undergo changes in function and become hyper-responsive to internal and external stimuli. These changes are ultimately responsible for the progression of all rosacea symptoms.

The most common symptoms include facial redness and inflammation across the flushing zone - usually the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead ; visibly dilated blood vessels, facial swelling and burning sensations, and inflammatory papules and pustules.

Rosacea treament with BIOSKINCARE.
There is no cure known for rosacea. The treatment is aimed at the control of redness, inflammation, and skin eruptions.

BIOSKINCARE topical cream (applied to a localized area of the skin) helps to heal skin lesions caused by rosacea (in 4 to 8 weeks).

BIOSKINCARE is made with a natural substance that both triggers and accelerates the regeneration of the skin and the replacement of damaged skin tissues AND acts as a natural antimicrobial (without creating bacterial resistance as pharmaceutical antibiotics do).

The development of rosacea

Rosacea develops gradually as mild episodes of facial blushing or flushing which, over time, may lead to a permanently red face.

Ocular rosacea can affect both the eye surface and eyelid. Symptoms can include redness, dry eyes, foreign body sensations, sensitivity of the eye surface, burning sensations and eyelid symptoms such as chalazia, styes, redness, crusting and loss of eyelashes.

Avoid conditions that aggravate redness, such as hot or spicy foods, hot beverages, or alcohol.

As the sun is a strong trigger for many rosacea sufferers, a good non-irritating sunscreen used daily is very important. For those who react badly to chemical sunscreens, a physical sunscreen may be more suitable. Physical sunscreens rely on the reflective properties of the main ingredients (rather than the ability of some chemicals to absorb the sun's energy). The most common physical sunscreens are based on zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Rosacea an Allergy-Like Reaction of the Immune System

The bumps (papules) and pimples (pustules) of rosacea, a widespread facial disorder affecting an estimated 14 million Americans, in some instances may be the result of an allergy-like reaction to environmental and emotional triggers, according to new study results presented at the National Rosacea Society (NRS) research workshop during the 2006 annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology.

"We are very excited about these findings because they may provide the basis for improving the treatment and management of this condition," said Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of the division of dermatology at the University of California-San Diego and lead investigator of the NRS-funded study. "By defining the process leading to the inflammation, new medications might be developed to block these effects."

Dr. Gallo explained that when the normal immune system is faced with any of a broad range of potential dangers -- such as sun exposure, emotional stress, heat and spicy foods, among many others -- receptors recognize potential threats and protect the body by prompting the production of protective substances that isolate and neutralize any harmful effects. With rosacea, however, these protective substances, like overzealous guards, turn the body on itself, leading to inflammation.

Using advanced mass spectrometry technology to analyze the biochemical composition of proteins in rosacea patients, the researchers discovered an abnormality in the production of protective molecules and in the overabundance of a substance that can spur dormant protective molecules into action.

"The next step is to test these findings through various therapeutic interventions," Dr. Gallo said. "As we gain a thorough understanding we can look for new medications that block this process in order to treat or prevent the inflammation associated with rosacea."

The innate immune system can be supported from the outside and in the form of a natural biological substance that regulates the intricate and orchestrated response of the skin to environmental triggers, foreign bodies and bacteria.

How is Rosacea different to Acne Vulgaris?
As rosacea is a neurovascular disorder it affects the flushing zone. Is is common that Rosacea does not present with blackheads that are seen with acne vulgaris. Also the age of onset, and the location of redness is a clue. Rosacea is commonly an adult disease, and is generally restricted to the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead. It can coexist with acne vulgaris.

Some rosacea sufferers have a significant acne component in their symptoms so it can be easily confused with acne vulgaris. The papules and pustules of rosacea tend to be less follicular in origin.

Rosacea will probably have an underlying redness that is related to flushing and thus looks different to acne vulgaris. Acne sufferers normally do not have the accompanying redness.

As both conditions are inflammatory, the treatment for rosacea and acne vulgaris can be somewhat similar, but some of the acne vulgaris regimes are too harsh for rosacea affected skin and can severely aggravate the condition.

What is BIOSKINCARE?
BIOSKINCARE is a natural topical cream, gathered by a patented process from the secretions left on his paths by the snail Helix Aspersa Müller. The very same this snail (found in many gardens and vineyards) uses to quickly regenerate his own shell and skin when damaged. After years of proven effects and scientific validation now presented as a topical cream.

The secret to the BIOSKINCARE breakthrough lies in the naturally combined biological ingredients in this all-in-one skin care solution from nature's wisdom itself.

The natural antimicrobial peptides in BIOSKINCARE are effective against different types of bacteria commonly found in human skin infections and acne such as: Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Pseudomona Aeruginosa and Acne Vulgaris.

They destroy the pathogens present on the surface of the skin and in the skin pores and begins to act like a barrier between compromised skin surfaces and the environment. Pathogens such as bacteria and viruses enter the body through breaks in the skin, gaining access to the blood stream and causing an increased immune system reaction. This activity interrupts the repair and healing process, which interferes with the normal lay down of skin cells. Additionally, we see evidence of erythema (redness) around the affected site, as well as some superficial edema (swelling) and an excited production and lay down of collagen. By blocking the microbial pathway to the blood stream, BIOSKINCARE allows the immune system to heal the damage in an environment similar to that in which a broken bone heals inside the body.

The positive action of BIOSKINCARE in helping to regenerate damaged skin tissues is due to the natural state of the skin regenerating accelerators ( peptides - amino-acid chains, and proteins).

BIOSKINCARE restores the skin renewal process by stimulating the germinal cells. These are located at the base of the skin which then migrate to replace the worn-out cells near the skin surface. The result is a healthier appearance of the skin with more thickness, a normal skin color, normal skin texture and normal skin tissue turgor.

BIOSKIN PRODUCTS - Unsurpassed for Skin Repair and Regeneration!

In the skin, the skin care products help to:

• Stimulate Collagen Formation, diminishing fine lines and firming the skin.
• Stimulate Elastin Formation, cutting down on sagging and fine lines.
• Stimulate the replacement of damaged skin cells, getting rid of scar and necrotic tissues.
• Stimulate the formation of the extra cellular binding between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility.
• Stimulate the formation of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to keep in moisture. This helps to thicken the dermis resulting in a lessening of sagging and helps firm the skin.
• Increase blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the skin.
• Act as a potent antioxidant.
• Inhibits and destroys microbiological activity of dangerous, pathogenic skin bacteria, including acne.
