| 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 |
