123120 Shin Yeong-ik, CEO of DM Dermatology/Provided by = DM Dermatology Acne mites, hair follicles less than 0.4 mm in size, feed on sebum and waste products in human skin. They spend their entire lives hiding in pores and hair follicles, and come out to the surface of the skin to mate at night.
Demodex, which is known to cause skin troubles, is originally a parasite, but research has shown that it has evolved into a symbiotic relationship while keeping hair follicles surprisingly clean.
Last year, Dr. Alejandra Perotti’s research team at the University of Reading in England published a paper on Demodex in the international journal ‘Molecular Biology and Evolution’. According to this thesis, Demodex has lost unnecessary genes and evolved into an extremely simplified organism in order to live a protected and isolated life, a life optimized for human skin.
Because they get everything they need to live from the host, only food intake and reproductive abilities have developed, and other functions have disappeared. “The demodex is now becoming an essential symbiont that cannot survive without a human host,” said Dr. Perotti.
However, leaving Demodex untreated is not particularly beneficial for facial skin. If the demodex population exceeds the normal range and reproduces excessively, it can cause hair follicles to be closed and cause an inflammatory reaction, causing people to worry about their appearance.
Mistaking it for acne and squeezing or scrubbing it by hand can destroy the hair follicles, making it easier for the hair follicles to penetrate, further aggravating the lesion. If you have severe skin trouble and suspect demodex (an inflammatory disease caused by Demodex), it is good to visit a dermatologist for a detailed examination and treatment.
Shin Young-ik, CEO of DM Dermatology Clinic, said, “If demodex is excessively proliferating, it can be a proof that a red signal has been turned on for skin health due to stress or irregular life rhythms.” If this is the case, we recommend that you visit a dermatologist for treatment and get advice on the management method that suits your skin type.”
According to CEO Shin, among the representative dermatological treatments to remove demodex, there is a procedure using a curity laser. Curity Laser sprays a jet stream smaller than the pores with 360-degree rotational power to help remove demodex, sebum, foreign substances, and blackheads accumulated in the pores.
Curity Laser is also known to help improve whitening, elasticity, and wrinkles by intentionally causing a virtual inflammatory reaction to induce collagen regeneration and to reduce facial flushing by constricting capillaries. This dermatological procedure does not injure the skin, improves the epidermis and dermis at the same time, and it is said that the treatment process is easy enough that it is possible to repeat the procedure within 2 to 3 days as there is almost no pain.
