Scabies

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:20:15 +0000

Scabies is an infectious parasitic dermatopathy which is the result of the mite of scabiei and is transmitted between humans through direct or indirect contact. The mite of scabies shows preference to skin areas which are thin and hairless. On the contrary, it avoids areas of high hair density most probably as they inhibit its course on the skin during burrowing.

It is characterized by itching and burrowing formation which develop mainly in the area of the finger webs, the palms, the wrists and the knee joints. The burrows are formed by female mites which penetrate the skin and deposit their eggs of which new parasites will emerge. The patient should be particularly meticulous in following the instructions. All the members of his/ her family should undergo treatment along with the patient. No commitment to treatment is necessary for individuals who had any casual contact with the patient, such as a handshake. To be on the safe side, linen, underwear and all garments used by the patient and his family should be disinfected and dry cleaned at high temperature.

From the beginning of symptoms of scabies and until it is diagnosed there is usually a period of time of intense itching. The patient should not use hard sponges and brushes during bathing. The patient is relieved of the symptoms of scabies within three days from the beginning of treatment and ceases to transmit the infection about 24 hours after the completion of the treatment with an effective anti-scabies agent.

Scabies deformities are not observed either on the face or the back or the scalp. Treatment should be extended to all individuals who live or come in close contact with the patient. Regular washing of hands, daily bathing and avoidance of other people’s garments can prevent scabies.

Acne is a skin disease of a multiform clinical presentation which afflicts more than 80% of the general population. The first symptoms of the common form of the disease appear a few years before puberty and last until about 20 or 22 years of age. Many factors contribute to the formation of acne, the exact etiopathogenetic mechanism of the disease not being yet known. These factors may be:

Genetic

Microbiologic

Medication

Hormonal

Unknown

Common acne but generally almost all forms of disease, are mainly located on the face but also the shoulders, the back, the chest and more rarely the torso and the limbs. Acne may also appear on the thighs or the crurogenital folds.

Lichen planus is characterized by a papulous itching rash of characteristic appearance of the papules and locality. The cause of the disease remains unknown. It appears between 30 to 60 years of age but generally all ages may be inflicted, although the disease is rare to the very young and old individuals. There is no gender variation. Lichen planus is characterized by shiny, planar, polygonal papules of a few millimeters which may appear deep in the center. The deformities are usually symmetrically distributed. They are located on the wrists, forearms, sides of the neck, thighs, lower part of the back, mucous membranes of the mouth and genitals. Itching is one of the most common manifestations of the disease. In acute cases damages may expand very quickly but two to four weeks or more than four months are more frequently required after the appearance of the first deformity. The course and duration of lichen planus depends on the extent and the location of the disease infliction. It may last from months to a few years. In 1/3 of these patients the disease may retract automatically within 8 to 12 months.

Eyebrow implant, scar and injury reconstruction

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 10:05:21 +0000

Eyebrow implant concerns people who wish to reconstruct, thicken or even modify the shape of their eyebrows.

This is a process that requires not only precision but also aesthetic skill since eyebrows have a specific orientation and consist of single hair follicles, thinner compared to the rest of our hair.

After specific patterning, which is done according to face, features and wishes of the client, the process begins, which will take two to three hours accordingly.

Local anesthesia is applies and the follicles are selected one by one (FUE System) according to colour and thickness and then implanted adjusting orientation and inclination so as to achieve natural, aesthetically perfect and permanent result.

The same technique is applied to individuals who wish to erase:

Scars caused by accidents on the head or beard
Scars from previous transplants
Scars from lifting
Or even partial or complete restoration of whiskers after facial lifting

The aim is to ensure natural results, putting emphasis on detail. Individuals suffering from complete hair loss are not suitable for eyebrow implant (as well as hair, since they do not possess any hair follicles)
