Autohemotherapy for acne - what you need to know?

Does blood transfusion help get rid of acne?

Despite popular belief, acne cannot be considered solely a cosmetic defect. This skin disease develops due to a variety of internal and external factors.

Modern dermatology, as well as cosmetology, use many medications and cosmetics to eliminate pimples or acne, post-acne. However, the pathology often regresses.

Attention! The appearance of acne is not always associated with age. Typically, juvenile acne is easier to treat.

Causes of acne for which transfusions may be used include:

• some diseases of the reproductive system;
• hormonal changes (adolescence, pregnancy, menopause);
• endocrine imbalance;
• digestive system dysfunction;
• chronic stress accompanied by the release of hormones;
• allergy;
• Demodex infection.

Improper facial care can lead to the development of acne:

• frequent washing;
• overdrying due to medications;
• use of low-quality cosmetics;
• inadequate selection of cosmetics.

Experts point out that it is easier to eliminate acne, the occurrence of which is associated with the wrong selection of cosmetics. Blood transfusions are usually performed for acne caused by disorders in the body.

Attention! Usually the result is obvious 2 months after treatment.

Contraindications

Autohemotherapy refers to medical procedures that should only be carried out under the supervision of doctors. Naturally, there are a number of body conditions in which such a procedure is strictly contraindicated:

• diagnosed neoplasms of malignant origin;
• some diseases of the cardiovascular system - arrhythmia of various types, a history of myocardial infarction;
• epilepsy, even if the pathology is in a period of long-term drug remission;
• any mental disorders.

Doctors do not allow the procedure to be carried out while carrying a child and breastfeeding , but after this period autohemotherapy will be very useful - the woman’s body will recover faster after childbirth and lactation, hormonal levels will normalize, and metabolic processes will accelerate.

Pros and cons of autohemotherapy for acne

Autohemotherapy involves transfusion of the patient's own blood for therapeutic purposes. The manipulation stimulates the immune system.

Important! When transfusing your own blood, there are usually no negative reactions from the body.

The effect of blood transfusion for acne is caused by the content of toxins that are formed during the life of cells. These substances provoke an immune response because they are considered foreign. As a result, the production of antibodies is noted, which indicates the activation of natural defense. This action has a positive effect on the body, which begins to fight acne using its own forces. The advantage of the procedure is also called acceleration of regeneration processes. There is rapid healing of acne without the occurrence of post-acne.

The use of blood transfusions for acne helps to clear infectious agents without the use of drugs. As a result, a strengthened immune system can cope with infectious diseases. The course of therapy is not long, and the procedures do not require a significant amount of time.

Negative aspects include insufficient knowledge of the method and the possible occurrence of side effects. Transfusion for acne has certain contraindications that make the procedure impossible.

Effectiveness of sessions

Autohemotherapy has found a niche of application in dermatology and cosmetic procedures as an effective method of combating acne and skin inflammation. This is an alternative to antibacterial therapy. The use of the method is indicated when there is no effect from a variety of creams and masks for external application.

During the sessions, toxic substances (waste) are introduced into the patient's body through the blood. Stimulation of defense mechanisms occurs.

The immune system is strengthened, and resources appear to combat inflammatory skin problems. We must not forget about the rules of daily facial skin care. Statistics confirm the success of treatment in 85 cases out of 100.

The results of autohemotherapy vary from person to person; the goal of the method is to improve and strengthen the immune system. Numerous reviews from doctors about the effectiveness of transfusion confirm the need to examine the body before prescribing treatment.

Positive transfusion results help:

• increase endurance;
• cleansing the body of impurities (slags, toxins);
• improvement of hematopoiesis;
• normalization of metabolic processes;
• improving immunity;
• disappearance of pustular inflammation.

The method is recommended to be used in combination with healing procedures. If you have an allergic reaction to various medications, you should be careful when carrying out therapy.

Indications for blood transfusion for acne

Autohemotherapy for acne is usually carried out when other treatment methods are ineffective. The following indications for the use of transfusion for acne are distinguished:

• moderate to severe acne and pimples;
• ineffectiveness of other treatment methods;
• pronounced decrease in immunity;
• severe dermatitis;
• furunculosis and subcutaneous acne;
• post-acne.

Blood transfusion is recommended for immune dysfunction. In this case, the weakened body cannot inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause acne. In case of disorders of the immune system, autohemotherapy allows you to simultaneously get rid of acne and support the protective functions of the immune system.

Blood transfusions can be used in parallel with other methods of therapy:

• homeopathy;
• using ultraviolet light;
• ozone therapy.

When autohemotherapy, you can use drugs intended for external use, for example, lotions, scrubs and ointments.

Autohemotherapy regimens for acne

The following blood transfusion regimens are used to treat acne:

• Subcutaneously. Using a disposable syringe, venous blood is collected for subcutaneous administration. No other components are added to the blood.
• Intramuscularly. Typically, the regimen involves a course of 10 or 15 injections. The dosage is increased by 1 ml daily. During the first procedure, up to 2 ml of blood is injected intramuscularly.
• Intravenously. Ozone autohemotherapy has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties.

In most cases, blood transfusion is carried out according to the classical scheme. It is also possible to use stepwise autohemotherapy (according to Reckeweg). The procedure involves mixing biological material with homeopathic remedies for subsequent transfusion. The introduction of the resulting solution is carried out using several stages.

Blood transfusion for acne on the face is carried out using 2 methods:

• administering part of the blood to the patient and mixing the remaining biological material with a homeopathic medicine for subsequent injection;
• mixing 2-5 ml of blood with a homeopathic remedy, followed by administration after shaking.

When using the first method, detoxification properties appear that allow you to cope with acne. The course of treatment is performed once every six months.

Important! The course of therapy and method of blood transfusion are determined by the doctor on an individual basis.

The essence of the autohemotherapy procedure

Intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of the patient's own venous blood is a brief description of the procedure. Most often, “pure” blood is used for administration, but sometimes medications are added to it - antibacterial or anti-inflammatory.

Autohemotherapy should be carried out only according to a doctor’s indications and not independently, but under the supervision of specialists.

Without a full examination, it will not be possible to select the optimal scheme of procedures, their number, the volume of venous blood and the place of its administration. If the procedure is carried out correctly, the result will be:

• solution to most dermatological problems, and not just the disappearance of acne;
• rapid healing of wounds and injuries;
• reducing the appearance of scars and scars.

There is an opinion in scientific circles that courses of the procedure help rejuvenate the body. True, it does not have official confirmation from medicine, but research in this direction is being conducted quite actively. But it is reliably known that autohemotherapy balances and stabilizes the psycho-emotional background, increases the body’s endurance and performance.

How to do a blood transfusion for acne

Autohemotherapy is a method of immune correction. The method is used in various branches of medicine to improve the functioning of the body. The uniqueness of the technique lies in the use of the patient’s own plasma. The blood is injected immediately after collection, before it begins to clot.

Biological material contains:

• red blood cells;
• leukocytes;
• toxins;
• poisons.

The patient's body perceives this composition as a signal for further action. Thus, the production of antibodies is noted, immunity develops, which helps with acne and other diseases.

The blood transfusion is performed by an experienced doctor. The procedure includes a certain preparatory stage. Before using autohemotherapy, a blood test must be performed to detect infection. Determining the hemoglobin level is also essential.

Important! The procedure is performed only if there are no contraindications.

Typically, transfusion is performed using the classical method. Venous blood is collected in an amount of 5-25 ml and administered either subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The course ranges from 8 to 12 injections. Injections are given once every 2 days.

Advice! In the absence of the required effect, it is possible to use different types of influence. Biological material is irradiated with ultraviolet light, treated with laser or ozone, and frozen. Sometimes a blood transfusion with an antibiotic for acne is given.

Survey

Therapist

Usually the therapist prescribes a general and biochemical blood test, urinalysis, urease test or fibrogastroduodenoscopy. The urease test is used to screen for the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the patient's stomach. FGDS can determine the presence of problems with the esophagus and stomach, the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach and determine its total amount.

The following may be prescribed as treatment:

• anthelmintics;
• a set of drugs to eliminate Helicobacter;
• a complex of drugs for normalizing the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, eliminating increased acidity of gastric juice, treating erosions and ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, and activating the process of timely emptying of the large intestine.

Gynecologist (for girls)

The gynecologist prescribes an ultrasound of the pelvic organs and conducts a gynecological examination. A long-term chronic inflammatory process in the pelvic organs can cause the appearance of acne and purulent pimples on the chin.

The gynecologist can also give a referral to determine the level of hormones in the blood serum. Hormonal imbalance causes the sebaceous glands to more actively secrete sebum and make it more viscous.

This problem can be solved by long-term use of oral contraceptives such as “Janine” or “Diane”.

Endocrinologist

An endorinologist can also refer for the determination of hormones in the blood plasma and, based on the results of this analysis, prescribe treatment.

Dermatologist

It is optimal to undergo all consultations and examinations in such a way that the dermatologist is the latest.

Having all the examinations in hand, you will be able to receive recommendations and prescriptions necessary to eliminate the rash on the face, as well as decide on the advisability of treating acne using autohemotherapy.

It may turn out that in your particular case, retinoids will be more effective and autohemotherapy will only waste time.

Side effects

After administering venous blood for acne, lumps may appear. This is due to the structure of the biological material. Poor absorption of blood in the muscle is due to its density. This is manifested by pain and the appearance of a characteristic lump at the injection site. It should be taken into account that the pain may gradually increase.

Often, seals appear when 4 ml of venous blood is injected. To avoid this unpleasant manifestation, you should make compresses and use an iodine mesh.

In rare cases, among the side discharge that appears, chills, weakness and a slight rise in temperature are observed. The likelihood of unwanted effects is influenced by the general condition of the body and well-being.

Patient reviews of blood transfusions for acne

Patient reviews of the procedure are mostly positive.

Vita Anatolyevna Geravchenko, 24 years old, Simferopol

I have been struggling with acne on my face for quite some time. During this period, many cosmetics and various medications were used. There were no significant dynamics. The dermatologist advised me to try a blood transfusion. Completed the full course. I immediately noticed positive changes in my immunity. Pimples now appear rarely and go away quickly.

Vladislava Nikolaevna Zakharova, 29 years old, Kuznetsk

I can say that the transfusion helped me for subcutaneous acne. But the effect did not last long. After 2 months, the face was again covered in rashes. A few months later I took a second course. And again the treatment helped for 2-3 months. The procedures are not inexpensive, and they are also painful.
