Atopic dermatitis
by Dr. Yiannis Neofytou
Atopic dermatitis, the well-known eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects 15-30% of children and 2-10% of adults.
Its frequent outbreaks afflict sufferers, significantly degrading their quality of life. Symptoms
The disease is manifested by recurrent episodes of skin inflammation and intense itching and is characterized by periods of exacerbation and remission (during which the skin shows a normal appearance).
Severe itching can also cause secondary infections from bacteria or fungi, which can “invade” the scratched skin.
Atopic dermatitis can occur in any area of the body, but some areas are affected more often than others.
Treatment
The treatment of atopic dermatitis first aims at hydrating the skin with emollients, in order to fight the dry skin which is responsible for the intense accompanying itching.
Medication is then given, always under the supervision of a dermatologist, such as antihistamines to control itching, antibiotics to fight secondary infections, and topical corticosteroids (in cream or ointment) or topical inhibitors to control the disease.

MESOPEN
Mesopen is an alternative form of mesotherapy. It helps the penetration of active substances, creating portals of entry into the skin barrier with the creation of controlled micronulls, thanks to its specially designed head (pen with 12 tiny titanium pins), without obvious skin injury. Through this mechanism of action, the penetration capacity of the active substances increases.
