Magnetic Fields and Vacuum in the Therapy of Facial Seborrheic Dermatitis

ABSTRACT

Seborrheic dermatitis is a form of chronic skin inflammation that affects the scalp, face and body of a large number of patients, between 1 and 3% of the world’s population.
It can be associated with neurological disorders and affects children and adults by interfering with the quality of life, causing intense itching and sleep problems, as well as limiting personal relationships.

The therapies proposed are based on topical antifungals, corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors and, recently, on monoclonal treatment without being conclusive.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the synergy between vacuum and electromagnetic fields (VEMFtherapy) in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and it is based on the results already documented in the treatment of various inflammatory skin states. The study is based on a 50-year-old woman suffering from a severe form of seborrheic dermatitis from birth.

The results obtained were encouraging, with reduction of redness, skin itching and excessive tearing as complained by the patient, with the recovery of a good sleep quality, all without side effects or downtime.

Certainly, a case history is not sufficient to have a breakthrough in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis but it is an incentive to extend the present experience to a significant number of patients in order to properly evaluate effectiveness and safety of the therapy adopted.
