Clinical manifestation of acne
Acne is caused by changes in the functioning of the sebaceous glands, leading to increased production of skin secretions and clogging of pores with fatty plugs. Violation of the outflow of sebum causes inflammatory processes in the hair follicles and promotes the active proliferation of bacteria.
Acne can appear at any age and is the most common skin condition. This is the reason for the increasing interest of doctors in the problem of acne.
As a result of research, it was found that the main factors that provoke the occurrence of acne are:
The effectiveness of autohemotherapy
Autohemotherapy, popularly known as “blood cleansing,” is used to treat acne at stages 3 and 4, when other methods are ineffective. This therapeutic procedure promotes rapid healing of acne and cessation of purulent processes.
In addition, blood cleansing has proven itself as a procedure that helps strengthen the immune system. It not only normalizes the functioning of the body’s immune system as a whole, but also enhances the natural immunity of the skin.
During a blood transfusion, the patient's venous blood containing toxic substances is removed from the body. When blood returns, the immune system perceives it as a foreign object and activates its protective functions. Thanks to this, immune and metabolic processes are normalized, which helps cleanse the skin and improve the health of the body as a whole.
Injection scheme
Blood for autohemotherapy is taken from the patient’s vein. “Reverse” injections to return blood to the body are performed subcutaneously or intramuscularly into the buttock. A referral for the procedure is given by a dermatologist. Only he - after careful research - decides what scheme to cleanse your body. The traditional system is:
Day 1: 1 ml of blood is taken from a vein; injected into the gluteal muscle;
Day 2: take 2 ml of blood; injected into the buttock;
3rd and subsequent days: the volume is increased by 1 ml daily.
In the middle of the cycle, the patient receives a 10 ml dose of his own blood, after which the volume is proportionally reduced by 1 ml every day. Another scheme is possible: injections start with 10 ml and end with 1 ml.
How the scheme works
Despite the fact that the method has both positive and negative reviews, doctors continue to recommend the scheme. As a result of treatment with autohemotherapy, patients' immunity increases, the skin clears, the patient is healed of chronic diseases that have lived in the body for many years. And this - note - without substances foreign to the body, only using our own forces.
The negative impact of autohemotherapy is that “native” blood is difficult to absorb, and after 2–3 days quite painful lumps form at the site of intramuscular injections. One more thing - the method has not been fully studied. However, this can be said about all modern treatment methods, both used in doctors’ offices and in cosmetology clinics.
To get rid of congestion in the buttocks, follow simple procedures: apply heating pads with warm water to the bumps, draw an iodine mesh, massage the lumps, apply an alcohol compress. Among the folk remedies, they recommend cottage cheese cakes (apply to the pine cones), grated carrots with sour cream (the same), cabbage leaves (beat with a hammer, grease with sour cream and apply). Begin treatment as soon as you notice “hard balls” under the skin, and the lumps will quickly resolve.
Cleansing the body with its own blood from acne helps in 7-8 cases out of 10. In other patients, the situation does not change, but no deterioration of the condition is observed either.
The principle of autohemotherapy
During the procedure, the doctor takes a person’s venous blood and then injects it under the skin or into a muscle. The blood enters the body in its original form without additional processing. Most often, blood withdrawn from a vein is injected into the gluteal muscles.
At the beginning of the course, the volume of blood transfused is minimal, but with each procedure it steadily increases. Having reached the middle of the course of procedures, the doctor gradually reduces the volume of blood transfused, gradually reducing it to a minimum. The duration of treatment is usually 2 weeks.
Cleansing with folk remedies
Pine needles are another wonderful method that will help cleanse the blood using folk remedies. It has long been believed that pine needles purify the air around them, filling it with ozone. A similar effect on the human body can be produced by a decoction based on pine needles.
To prepare it, you need to chop 5 tablespoons of pine needles and pour boiling water (0.5 l), let it stand for a while, and then heat it for 10 minutes on the fire. After this, the broth must be poured into an airtight container, sealed, wrapped in a blanket, and allowed to stand for 1/3 hour. The decoction should be drunk twice a day, 2-3 sips between breakfast and lunch, and then between lunch and dinner.
Another great way involves using celandine. It’s not for nothing that this plant has such a sonorous name. It is very easy to prepare an infusion of celandine. First, you need to cut off several tops of the celandine (along with the flowers). They need to be thoroughly ground and then squeezed out all the juice. For a liter of celandine juice, add 0.25 liters of alcohol. You need to drink it 1 tablespoon before meals (but on the first day you can drink a teaspoon of tincture).
Contraindications to blood cleansing for acne
For some people prone to severe forms of acne, blood cleansing becomes the last chance for recovery. This procedure has an unsurpassed effect even in cases where medications and modern technologies have not been able to improve the situation.
However, autohemotherapy can only be carried out with the consent of the attending physician and under his close supervision.
Contraindications to this procedure are:
Misconception 4. Plasmapheresis is universal, it helps against all diseases
— Now there are many advertisements on the Internet that say that plasmapheresis is necessary for all residents of the metropolis, that it helps fight the negative effects of stress and poor ecology on the body. And with its help you can rejuvenate. This is true?
Are you joking? Plasmapheresis is a medical procedure that complements the main treatment of the disease. Only a doctor can prescribe it if there are indications for it. It makes no sense to do plasmapheresis for everyone.
— In what cases can a doctor prescribe plasmapheresis?
It is prescribed as an additional method for certain diseases in cases where the main treatment was ineffective.
- Yuri Alexandrovich, can you be more specific? For what skin diseases, for example, is plasmapheresis recommended?
If drug therapy is ineffective, plasmapheresis is used for allergic dermatitis, furunculosis, psoriasis, etc.
Any skin disease is not a one-day problem. The effect of treatment does not occur immediately. Most often, in the treatment of skin diseases, they move from simple methods - meaning ointments, drugs - to more complex ones. One of the next steps when “pill” therapy is ineffective is plasmapheresis - a method when factors that cause manifestations of the disease are removed directly from the blood.
— How many sessions are needed for the skin condition to improve? Is one enough?
The number of procedures that the patient will need is calculated individually by the doctor depending on the disease, its duration, and general well-being. According to the statistics that I have, for skin diseases, on average, 5 to 7 procedures are needed. Although with allergic dermatitis the effect is noticeable after 1-2 sessions.
- Let's imagine this situation: a person read an article about plasmapheresis, decided that he needed it, and came to you.
First, I will talk with the patient - this is why there is an Initial consultation with a doctor performing plasmapheresis , I will find out what kind of disease he has, how he was treated, and why there was no positive effect. Then we will together plan the tactics for further action: either you should start with conventional treatment from a dermatologist, or, if the possibilities of drug treatment have been exhausted and the dermatologist recommends, do plasmapheresis.
— What if a person came to you not for treatment, but to “clean up” and look younger?
Plasmapheresis is not magic, and “clean” blood is not an indicator of health. I believe that in order to feel good, you don’t need plasmapheresis, but a healthy lifestyle.
Advantages and disadvantages of autohemotherapy
The effect of blood transfusion is obvious, however, both in specialist circles and among patients, there are endless debates about this procedure. Proponents of blood cleansing note that during the procedure, active cleansing and healing of the body occurs.
There is no need to use medications. However, there is an opposite opinion. Many specialists are concerned about the insufficient knowledge of autohemotherapy, as well as the painful lumps that occur in some patients after it.
Side effects
Complications of this procedure cannot be excluded. This:
- body pain;
- temperature;
- swelling at the injection sites, formation of compactions;
- inflammatory processes.
To avoid compaction, apply to the injection site: a heating pad, an alcohol compress, make an iodine mesh or massage.
There is a specific blood transfusion scheme:
- intravenous;
- subcutaneous;
- intramuscular.

Pimples, inflammatory processes, acne... All these painful and very unaesthetic phenomena very often indicate that the body is polluted and the presence of diseases of the internal organs. It is imperative to fight such acne from the inside, focusing on the cause of the disease. By eliminating the cause of the disease, for example, by cleansing the body of toxins, you can observe a wonderful side effect - clean, smooth and healthy skin, free from acne and other inflammatory processes.
The emergence of blood substitutes
True, the foreign biomaterial still remained dangerous for the patient, since along with it viruses, bacteria and other harmful substances that circulated in the donor’s plasma were transmitted to the patient. Therefore, some time ago, blood substitutes appeared, which are a universal material because they are suitable for patients with any group, and therefore have a wide range of indications.
Among the advantages of blood substitutes, scientists highlight:
- the absence of the possibility of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens entering the patient’s body;
- ease of storage;
- possibility of production in laboratory conditions;
- in emergency cases, in order for the blood substitute to be ready for use, it is enough to dilute it with a special solution and wait a few seconds;
- quickly transports oxygen to tissues.
Despite the advantages, blood substitutes have not become widespread, since the first successful injection in humans was made only in 2011. In addition, the administration of blood substitutes also has many side effects; many drugs are toxic and expensive. But the significance of this discovery cannot be underestimated, since there is a high probability that blood substitutes will soon completely replace real blood.
What is blood cleansing for acne?
The main liquid tissue of the body, in which the main immune complexes, antiseptic mechanisms, killers of foreign agents are concentrated, is blood. A general blood test can tell a lot about a person: it reflects the nutritional status, sleep and wakefulness patterns, the presence of a viral or bacterial infection, allergic reactions, and intoxications.
The composition of the blood depends on:
Blood cleansing for acne is a procedure for removing infectious agents, antibodies, excess glucose, and lipids from the blood through autohemotherapy, bloodletting, and lifestyle correction.
g
Preparation
The Rh factor is produced for the correct selection of a donor. All tests are carried out to check the respiratory system, cardiovascular structure, and urinary canals.
Preparing a person for a blood transfusion begins several days before the procedure. Two days before the procedure, the donor's blood is checked for allergic interactions. On the eve of the procedure, the patient is required to cleanse the intestinal tract and bladder.
Application of components
It is very important to make the right alternative to transfusion, because there is more than one manipulation. For example, if anemia, pathologies, leukopenia or thrombocytopenia are treated, component transfusions can be used. The necessary blood components are selected, and the remaining ones are sent for storage to the laboratory in case of need.
In medicine, it has been found that centralized elements provide enormous benefits than general transfusion.
There is a need to indicate that the restrictions apply directly to general blood. The patient may not benefit from the newly formed antibodies. The results are unsafe because they can provoke allergic reflexes during a secondary transfusion. It is recommended to use general blood only in complex cases.
Autohemotherapy: what is it?
Autohemotherapy is a procedure for taking blood from a person and then drip-infusing it, already purified, back. This procedure can be carried out in the detoxification department of a hospital.
Autohemotherapy is used for:
Contraindications to autohemotherapy:
Another option for autohemotherapy is taking venous blood from a person and then injecting this blood intramuscularly (into the buttock).
Blood donation and purification for acne
Donation is a modern version of bloodletting, in which some part of the blood is removed from the body (for blood donors this is equal to 430 ml) permanently. As a result, regenerative mechanisms are launched that promote blood renewal and rid a person of accumulated metabolic products and aging cells.

Acne, acne is a situation familiar to most people in the world first-hand, and not only during adolescence. In the modern world, in the age of technology, there are many ways to eliminate skin rashes, but these methods are external. Meanwhile, the condition of the skin depends on the health of the body.
Acne is a skin disease characterized by multiple “island” rashes that appear on the face, neck, shoulders, and back. The development of inflammatory elements is facilitated by damage to the body by pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
After getting rid of purulent inflammation, the wounds become scarred - post-acne (persistent skin changes as a result of improper mechanical action).
Acne, or acne, is the consequence of clogging of the sebaceous glands and the formation of a local area for the growth of bacteria. Acne varies by type:
The most effective way to get rid of acne is facial cleansing (mechanical, ultrasonic), but such a procedure is performed regularly, otherwise you will not achieve even a minimal positive result.
Misconception 2. Plasmapheresis is the simplest procedure that can be done even during your lunch break
— Yuri Alexandrovich, please tell us how plasmapheresis is performed.
To carry out plasmapheresis, a special device is used - I work at Hemos-PF. It is the basic apparatus of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for providing assistance in emergency situations.
The patient lies down on the couch, and the doctor inserts a plastic catheter into a vein in his arm through which blood will be drawn.
— Is only one vein involved?
There are different methods: some involve one vein, some use two, for example, peripheral and central. The method of membrane plasmapheresis that I perform involves only one vein. As doctors say, this is minimally invasive.
- The catheter has been installed - what next?
Next, the patient’s blood is “driven” through the machine.
The amount of blood that is taken is returned. Each person has a different blood volume. Therefore, the doctor calculates the amount of blood that is “driven through” in one session individually for each patient, taking into account a clinical blood test, body weight and height. There is a computer program for this calculation.
— How long does the procedure take?
About an hour. During this time, the patient's condition is monitored: blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse and blood oxygen saturation are measured. That is, the patient is not only under the control of a doctor, but also under the control of equipment.
— Can plasmapheresis be done on an outpatient basis?
Plasmapheresis is not such a simple procedure that it can be performed during a lunch break. This is not an injection: they injected him and he went. People tolerate plasmapheresis differently, so there is a certain period of time after the procedure (from half an hour to an hour) during which I monitor the patient's condition. If all indicators are stable, the person can go home.
Treatment
Most of the causes of skin diseases lie within the body.
Indicative symptoms of accumulated toxins in the body are manifested not only by skin reactions in the form of inflammation. Possible diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, frequent causeless headaches, fatigue and lack of concentration, nervousness. Decreased appetite and allergic reactions develop. Reduced immunity, deterioration of liver function, dull complexion indicate the presence of problems.
Let's look at the methods that a person can use to cleanse the body's intestines of toxins.
Medicines
Unfortunately, changing your diet alone is not enough to prevent acne.
Experts note that suitable products designed to cleanse the body of waste and toxins are sorbents.
There are absorbents and adsorbents. Difference between them:
Bypassing the method of severely restricting oneself in nutrition, it is permissible to use cleaning preparations in the form of gels, tablets, powders or teas.
Starvation
An effective method will cleanse the body's cells of toxins, because the food consumed (genetic engineering products, with hormonal additives) is the first source of nutrients for the skin and leads to negative consequences.
Colon cleansing by fasting at your own discretion, without the consent of a qualified specialist, is safe to do a maximum of once a week. Drinking plenty of fluids is an important component of therapeutic fasting. Clean water will remove toxins, preventing dehydration, and will launch energy metabolic processes.
Enema
Cleansing with an enema can be done independently. Flushing removes excrement, which is the main source of harmful elements. At home, the procedure is performed as follows:
Misconception 3: Plasmapheresis is dangerous
- Let's talk about the safety of plasmapheresis, otherwise now there are horror stories that people are dying from this...
Turchinsky syndrome, as journalists called it.
I'll probably disappoint you - plasmapheresis has nothing to do with it. Vladimir Turchinsky died from something completely different. He had hormonal problems that led to thrombosis and heart attack. I will say more, plasmapheresis is a prevention of thrombosis and heart attack, since during the procedure the “thick” part of the plasma is removed, as a result the blood is thinned and blood circulation becomes much better.
- That is, Turchinsky syndrome...
— Still, let’s dwell on the safety of plasmapheresis.
Firstly, this procedure uses disposable medical instruments. With each patient, I open the disposable kit and show that this is all specifically for him.
Secondly, I will once again draw your attention to the fact that plasmapheresis is not a conveyor belt, when the doctor connected the device and left. I constantly communicate with the patient during the procedure and after, monitoring his well-being. Since I have more than thirty years of experience in intensive care, I take such things seriously.
Thirdly , plasmapheresis does not cause any unpleasant sensations, because the entire process takes place in the physiological mode of the heart. During systole, a certain volume of blood is expelled from the heart; during diastole, relaxation occurs - blood returns. With plasmapheresis, all the characteristics of normal blood flow are preserved.
Fourthly , during the procedure no medications are used, only saline solution to wash the lines through which the blood flows so that it does not clot. Moreover, if the patient is “overfed” with hormonal drugs, then they are included in the protein complexes of the plasma and also settle on the filter. That is, we remove excess hormones that the patient used during treatment.
— Does plasmapheresis use donor plasma? Many people are afraid of this.
No. Membrane plasmapheresis, which we do at the Scandinavian Health Center, does not involve the use of donor plasma. Apparently, you mean cascade plasmapheresis, in which 400 to 800 ml of plasma is taken and replaced with blood substitutes. I don't use this technique.
— Are there any contraindications for membrane plasmapheresis?
An absolute contraindication is gastric ulcer with bleeding. Instability of the blood coagulation system is a relative contraindication. In addition, I will not insist on performing plasmapheresis on a patient whose peripheral venous network is poorly developed.
Yes, for this reason.
