Dermatology and venerology

Perhaps, the newest method to get rid of cellulitis is application of transdermal plasters (TTS-PLASTERS). Transdermal delivery of medical products has some advantages:

• In comparison with intake per os the action of medicinal components   begins faster. Also due to transdermal application we avoid problems of inactivation of drug (as a result of the first passage through liver) so we can decrease a dose.
• Maintenance of constant concentration of a drug in blood, without hesitation and any unfavorable reactions.
• Lower frequency of drug prescription.
• Transdermal application is more convenient for the patient.
• If we notice any unfavorable reactions there's a possibility of the immediate termination of transdermal plasters.

Experts agree that successful cellulite treatment require a comprehensive approach. There are no strictly targeted conditions of cellulite treatment. Successful results completely depend on variety of factors: a state of dermal tissue, duration of the course, applied drugs and methods. For this reason the most effective method of cellulite treatment and getting rid of this problem includes regular application of drugs, compliance and persistence in the treatment, playing sports, regular undergoing a massage, a healthy diet and a strict daily routine.

The anatomical structure of the skin fits it for the performance of these important functions.The skin is composed of three layers:

• epidermis or external layer
• true skin or derma
• subcutaneous adipose layer or panniculus adiposus.

The epidermis consists of epithelial cells which possess great ability to multiply and replace the destroyed cells of this layer. Owing to this ability any wounds suffered by the skin, as a result of injury or skin disease, heal quickly and without leaving a trace.Microscopic examination of the epidermis shows that it is composed of five layers:

1. stratum germinativum or basale
2. prickle-cell layer
3. stratum granulosum
4. stratum lacidum
5. stratum corneum.

The structure and function of the skin have certain characteristics associated with age and sex. The skin of children, especially of infants, contains much more water than that of adults. It is also thinner, more delicate, more vulnerable and more readily macerated than the skin of adults.In old age the skin undergoes atrophic changes and the secretion of the sebaceous glands diminishes, which is conductive to dryness of the skin.The atrophic changes in the derma result in a thinning of the skin and loss of its normal elasticity.In most cases women's skin is thinner and more delicate. Women usually have less hair on the skin of their extremities and trunk than do men. In women the subcutaneous adipose layer is usually more developed, especially on the hips, buttocks and abdomen, than it is in men.

Recent decades have turned into a series of constant discoveries and breakthroughs at the field of aesthetic medicine. And such achievement of cosmetologists - an opportunity to permanent delete of superfluous hair on face and body is of course an example of serious discoveries. The basis of all methods of hair removal is common - the destruction of the hair germ that causes it to be removed completely and forever. Types of epilation differ only in the mechanism of action. For example, electrolysis is an introduction of a thin needle into each hair follicle. Than a weak charge passes through this filed, which destroys the root. During photoepilation or laser epilation hair removal does not violate the integrity of the skin. A beam of light of a certain wavelength is just sent on its surface, the radiation energy transmitted through the hair reaches the root, heats it up and destroys completely. Ultrasonic epilation method is similar to a laser epilation, but in this case the sound waves act instead of light waves.
