Psoriasis is a recurring, chronic skin condition that affects around 2 to 3% of the total population. Currently, there is no known cure and it is believed to have a genetic predisposition. Psoriasis appears predominantly between the ages of 15 and 25, but can develop in a later stage in life as well. It can have a big social & psychological impact on daily life (embarrassment, stress, depression) with 60% of sufferers reporting their skin disorder to be a large problem in their everyday.
Psoriasis is associated with other serious health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and obesity and in about one in ten people, inflammation in the joints causes symptoms of arthritis.
There is no cure for psoriasis, but there are ways now to treat symptoms, keep flare ups under control and improve the appearance of the affected skin patches.
New Dermalex offers a steroid-free scalp gel that not only relieves your Psoriasis symptoms, but also helps in preventing new Psoriasis flare ups from occurring.
Dermalex Repair Scalp Psoriasis reduces scalp psoriasis symptoms by normalising skin cell production. It accelerates the skin/scalp barrier recovery through activation of the skin’s own repair mechanism and fortifies the barrier through the creation of a protective shield and prevention of water loss.
The adapted Barrier Repair Accelerator treatment to scalp, achieves its Barrier Damage Recovery action using the same active components in a hydrogel base as in the original Psoriasis cream, but with different concentrations of the active ingredients. It contains only small amount of lipids to provide perfect cosmetic result
