Indicators of Phagocytosis in Women With Acne During Comprehensive Treatment That Included PRP- And Ipl-Therapy

“…In order to optimize the treatment of acne, taking into consideration the found changes in systemic immunity indices of these patients, phagocytosis and colon microbiota, we developed a complex therapeutic method which suggests the administration of immunotherapy (PRP-therapy), probiotic Mutaflor containing Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, low-dose birth control pills that have antiandrogenic effect, oral antibiotics (including doxycycline) and IPL therapy To determine the effectiveness of the developed method of combined therapy of acne, the patients under study were divided into 3 groups, using random method, and women in the groups were of similar age and clinical forms of acne. The first comparative group included 29 women who received systemic therapy, including oral antibiotics (including doxycycline) 0.1g twice a day during 14 days, probiotic Mutaflor (1 capsule once a day during 1 month two times a year) PRPtherapy according to the admitted scheme (1 procedure per week 5-10 times) [11,12]; the second comparative group consisted of 33 patients who were administered Mutaflor, low-dose birth control pills (for 12 month) and PRP-therapy; and the third (basic) group numbered 31 patients who were administered a comprehensive systemic therapy treatment which included oral antibiotics (including doxycycline) 0.1g twice a day 14 days, probiotic Mutaflor (1 capsule once a day during 1 month two times a year), low-dose birth control pills (during 12 months) PRP-and IPLtherapy [14], which is based on the influence of the light flow, which is able to quickly eliminate the focus of inflammation, contribute to the death of pathogenic microorganisms, reduce the synthesis of sebum, accelerate blood circulation and enhance cell regeneration. The procedures were carried out for 15-45 minutes with intervals of 2 weeks, 4-7 procedures per course.…”
