Component properties
Vitix gel has a qualitatively new effect on the skin affected by vitiligo due to its unique ability to restore physiological balance between free radicals, such as superoxide O 2, hydroxyl OH - and others, and antioxidants in melanocytes and keratinocytes (epidermal cells). This property of the gel is due to the presence in its composition of a patented active substance saturated with antioxidants, released from light finger pressure and a slight increase in temperature when applied to the affected skin.
Vitamins and minerals contained in Vitix tablets are designed to compensate for their deficiency in the body. In the course of scientific research, it was revealed that it was their absence that influenced the pathogenesis of vitiligo, and the intake of Vitix supplements often had a positive effect on the course of the disease.
Indications for use
Vitix gel is recommended for use as a cosmetic for depigmented skin.
In addition to the therapeutic care of the skin affected by vitiligo, it is recommended to use Vitix supplement in the form of tablets simultaneously with the gel.
Contraindications
There are no contraindications to the use of the gel.
Tablets are not recommended to be taken during pregnancy, during breastfeeding (lactation), as well as in case of increased individual sensitivity to any of the components.
Recommendations for use
Vitix gel is applied to the previously cleansed and dry skin of areas affected by vitiligo, with the involvement of contours, with slightly warmed fingers. After it is completely absorbed, it is permissible to apply a regular skin care cream, as well as other cosmetics. The effectiveness of using the gel increases if at the same time, only as directed by a dermatologist, a narrow-band PUVA (Psoralen + Ultraviolet A) -therapy is performed - a combination of Psoralen's reception with long-wave ultraviolet radiation A.
Recommended regimen for applying the gel: 2 times a day - morning and evening. The average duration of the course, depending on the patient's age, the duration of the disease and the size of the depigmented skin areas: 6-12 months or more. At the initial stage of using the gel (from 2 to 3 months), one should not expect visible results, since the balancing of free radicals occurs at the immunological level, after which the restoration of pigmentation begins according to one of the following options:
- follicular repigmentation - the appearance of individual pigment dots on white spots;
- peripheral repigmentation - even, gradual painting of spots from the edges to the middle;
- diffuse repigmentation is an uneven change in skin color in lesions.
Vitix tablets are taken orally 1 pc. a day during meals. The duration of the course is 1 month.
