Question | Answer |
---|---|
Dendrites transfer melanin to the surrounding keratinocyte cells | |
P.Acne is an anaerobic bacteria | |
It feeds off sebum and cellular debris | |
Increased sebum and keratin cause follicles to block | |
That creates an anaerobic environment that helps p.acne thrive | |
P.acne releases an enzyme that weakens the follicle wall | |
This results in the eventual collapse of the follicle wall | |
This allows infection to set into the dermis | |
White blood cells engulf the area causing more inflammation | |
Ageing of the Epidermis | |
Face loses its bounce | |
Fibroblast cells slow down | |
Circulation slows down | |
Thinning of the epidermis | |
Epidermis looks dull | |
Hyluronic acid decreases | |
Melanin production slows down | |
Leads to reduction of support | |
Fine lines and wrinkles | |
Bone structure becomes more promenent | |
Muscle tone and fat cells decrease | |
Elastin fibres become thin and brittle | |
Reduced cellular reproduction | |
Capillaries become evident | |
Esthetics and Hyluronic acid | |
Water binding properties | |
Slows down ageing process | |
Stops fibroblast cells from slowing down production | |
Stops structure from deteriorating | |
Products with hyluronic acid help to keep moisture retained in the skin | |
It can be found in the joints and eyes | |
Helps keep cells together | |
It is a key component in collagen | |
Cytoplasm is a cellular material in a cell, excluding the nucleus | |
Histyocytes are immune type cells that ingest foreign particles in an effort to protect the body from infection | |
Eosinophil cells are made from bone marrow and are part of the white blood cell group | |
It's primary function is to fight infection of the parasitic nature | |
There are four stages of acne | |
A cyst looks like a sac like lesion that is red and inflamed | |
Grades of acne | |
Grade 1 Open, closed comedones. No inflammatory lesions. Unlikely scarring | |
Grade 2 Open, closed comedones. Papules and some pustules. Inflamed. Unlikely scarring | |
Few comedones, papules. Many pustules.Nodules, Cysts and boils. Scarring is severe | |
Characteristics of Seborrheic Eczema | |
Can be found on adults between the ages of 20-40 appearing on the scalp as a mild dandruff | |
Commonly found on the face, ears and chest and is caused by mallasezia ( yeast/fungus) | |
The scaly formation often is associated with an oily complexion and appears in areas of increased sebaceous gland activity | |
Characteristics of Atopic Eczema | |
Red Rash, Itchiness, Scaling, Blisters, Weeping, Cracked skin, Bleeding, Heat | |
Exogenous eczema | |
External contact with a primary irritant. Sometimes referred to as contact dermatitis or occupational eczema | |
Endrogenous: Internal stimulus via the blood stream | |
Seborrheic: Occurs when the skin is over oily. | |
Dermal layers | |
Germanativum | |
Papillary: Cell reproduction | |
Reticular: Repair and protect |
