Acne - it is basically a problem of adolescence, but sometimes the disease is prolonged and literally haunts man throughout his youth, leaving behind ugly scars. Of course, this is a trauma for the young man.

The causes and treatment of acne

Acne begins with the hormonal changes of the body. Under the influence of these radical changes reduced the body's defenses (immune system), and pustular infections more easily penetrate the skin. The cause of acne is the increase in blood levels of male sex hormones - androgens, which may increase both in boys and girls. Androgens stimulate sebum production and simultaneously make it more viscous. As a result, sebum hardens and seals the mouth of the sebaceous glands. A corked sebaceous glands begin to actively proliferate bacterial flora (a reduced immunity!), Which leads to the formation of pustules.

In the treatment of acne Acne treatment: how to get rid of blackheads   to dermatologists, cosmetologists are three objectives: to normalize the hormones and strengthen the immune system and to treat acne itself through a variety of internal and external antibacterial agents. But it's all good in theory. In practice, the number of people with long-flowing acne grows. The main reason to what happens addictive pathogens to antibiotics, they are becoming less effective.

Polioksidony against acne

In connection with the widespread addiction to antibacterial dermatologists, cosmetologists are increasingly focused on the means to strengthen the immune system. In particular in the field of view was polyoxidonium - a drug that strengthens the immune system and reduces the symptoms of intoxication. The clinical study showed that polyoxidonium able to significantly improve the condition of patients with acne and reduce the time of recovery.

Polioksidony has a direct activating effect on all parts of immunity Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults Who suffer with acne, - a cellular and humoral immunity. In our body there are cells that directly kill pathogens - is phagocytes, they absorb and dissolve inside any pathogens (innate immunity).

The mechanism of action polioksidonija

Polioksidony makes phagocytes more actively, preventing the infection in the body and destroy it in the already formed the focus of infection. In addition, polyoxidonium helps to activate and humoral (specific) immunity, when in response to the introduction into the body of a certain pathogen in the body develop antibodies. Antibodies directed only to "own" the pathogen (antigen) are glued together with him (after which the complex becomes inactive) and eliminated from the body.

But with long-flowing acne little to strengthen immunity, because chronic inflammation leads to the fact that in the blood of a teenager accumulates a large number of toxic products, which adversely affect the skin cells, inhibiting the natural metabolic processes. So, the skin will not be able to have a fresh look. Polioksidony help in this case: the structure of the drug is such that it removes from the body all the toxic substances.

Finally, if the adolescent acne occurs on the background of a chronic allergic diseases, it exacerbates the acne, as is often accompanied by intolerance of certain drugs. Under the action polioksidonija negative effects of drugs and their side effects are reduced. Moreover, in combination with polioksidoniem smaller doses may be used of these drugs and significantly reduce their rates of reception.

Polioksidony caused a significant improvement, even in patients with severe (cystic nodular form), acne, leading to scarring of the skin, with a duration of more than 5 years and no effect of traditional treatment. In the initial stages of the disease polyoxidonium led to the complete restoration of the immune system and healing.

Polioksidonija peculiarity is that due to its structure it has antigenic structure, that is, in response to its introduction does not develop antibodies Antibodies - "soldiers' immunity And therefore, there is no allergic reaction. The drug is generally well tolerated and no side reactions. It just is contraindicated if you are hypersensitive.

Polioksidony are beginning to include treatments of patients with acne Acne: facial trouble As obvious positive effect of this combination therapy. It is used mostly in the form of intramuscular injections or rectal suppositories.
