Dermax Therapeutic Shampoo
Dermal Laboratories

Dermax Therapeutic Shampoo

Contains benzalkonium chloride, which is adsorbed on to dry skin scales, these being a feature of pityriasis capitis and other seborrhoeic scalp conditions. The scales are loosened and attain a net positive charge. In the presence of the anionic foaming agent, sodium lauryl ether sulphate, the dandruff scales are then levitated into the negatively charged surface of the foam and washed from the hair. Benzalkonium chloride also acts as a mild antiseptic, which improves clinical performance when the condition is exacerbated by the presence of microbes. The major site of action against microorganisms appears to be the cell membrane, where permeability is altered.
DermLite Carbon
Schuco

DermLite Carbon

The DermLite Carbon provides instant toggle control over lesion visualisation, from the superficial structures to deeper pigmentation, by activating two groups of LEDs, each with distinct polarisation. The first group of 8 LEDs produces cross-polarised light ideal for visualising deep structures, whereas the second set of 8 LEDs is linearly polarised, creating a clear rendition of the skin surface.
