Atopic dermatitis, often referred to as atopic eczema, is a chronic skin condition characterised by persistent inflammation of the skin. It manifests as redness, intense itching, dryness, and irritated patches that can significantly affect the quality of life of patients. This condition is particularly prevalent in children, but it can persist into adulthood. The inflammatory and recurrent nature of this disease makes its treatment complex, often resulting in temporary outcomes or side effects related to conventional treatments.
The limitations of traditional treatments
Common treatments for atopic dermatitis include topical corticosteroids, moisturising creams, and sometimes immunosuppressants. While these methods can temporarily relieve symptoms, they do not always address the underlying cause of inflammation and do not prevent recurrences. Furthermore, prolonged use of corticosteroids can lead to undesirable side effects such as skin thinning or progressive resistance. It is in this context that new technologies, such as the Aerolase laser, emerge as interesting alternatives.
Introducing the Aerolase laser: an innovative technology
The Aerolase laser is a modern laser technology used in aesthetic and dermatological medicine. This laser, based on the 1064 nm wavelength, is specifically designed to treat various skin issues, including inflammatory disorders such as atopic dermatitis. What sets Aerolase apart is its ability to penetrate deeply into the skin while respecting the epidermal surface, which minimises the risk of side effects and allows for a non-invasive treatment.
How the Aerolase laser acts on atopic skin
The action principle of the Aerolase laser is based on its capacity to target the inflammatory cells responsible for atopic dermatitis. By gently heating the dermal tissues, it stimulates the body's natural response, promoting skin regeneration and reducing inflammation. This process improves the skin barrier, enhancing the skin's resistance to external aggressors. For instance, in a patient suffering from chronic eczema, Aerolase laser sessions can significantly reduce itching and the appearance of new patches, thanks to this lasting anti-inflammatory effect.
The long-term benefits of laser treatment
In contrast to some temporary treatments, the Aerolase laser offers lasting results. After a series of sessions tailored to each patient, one not only observes a reduction in symptoms but also a notable improvement in skin texture and hydration. Several clinical studies and feedback have documented a durable reduction in recurrences. For example, patients who have undergone treatment with the Aerolase laser report improved quality of life with fewer severe flare-ups, reduced medication use, and better social acceptance due to an enhanced skin appearance.
The care protocol: customisation and monitoring
Each treatment with the Aerolase laser is personalised according to the severity of atopic dermatitis, the overall condition of the skin, and the patient's medical history. Rigorous follow-up is essential to monitor progress and adjust the number of sessions. The session itself is quick, painless, and non-invasive, allowing for immediate resumption of activities. Additionally, the laser can be combined with other moisturising and soothing treatments to enhance its effectiveness. This holistic approach increases the chances of success and reduces the risk of relapse.
Testimonials illustrating the effectiveness of the Aerolase laser
Since the integration of the Aerolase laser into our dermatological protocols, many patients have reported significant improvement. For example, Sophie, a young adult patient, had suffered from severe atopic eczema since childhood, causing significant social discomfort. After six sessions with the Aerolase laser, she noticed a reduction in itching and a better skin quality, allowing her to decrease her medication. This type of feedback highlights the importance of a technology that not only treats symptoms but also acts deeply on inflammatory mechanisms.
Precautions and contraindications
Like any medical treatment, the use of the Aerolase laser requires an accurate diagnosis and professional supervision. There are certain contraindications, particularly in pregnant women, patients with active skin infections, or those with a history of extreme photosensitivity. Therefore, it is essential that the treatment is conducted by a qualified physician who can ensure maximum safety and efficacy of the protocol.
