How do I use DermaSeptic?
DermaSeptic is an electronic skin care device. You simply apply a very small amount of KlearGel (special conductive gel) to the sore and the pure silver tip and hold the device against your skin. The only thing you will notice is that the green LED light will begin to flash. The flashing green light indicates that you have made proper contact with the skin and that the device is working.
Basic Instructions:
The TIP is the pure silver disk on the end of the case. It is approximately 1⁄4 inch in diameter and is the surface that you use to treat your skin. The contact plate is the rectangular stainless steel plate on the side of the unit. The LED is the green indicator light. To use the DermaSeptic, first clean the area to be treated with soap and water. Next, clean the silver tip with the emery board. Apply a thin film of conductive gel to the silver tip. Put a small dab of conductive gel on the finger you will use to hold the unit. Hold the case so that the finger with the gel presses firmly on the stainless steel contact plate. Press the silver tip to the area you wish to treat. The green LED indicator will flash when the device is activated and working. You will not feel any sensation from the unit even though it is operating effectively. Each individual is unique and you will determine the best treatment routine for your own situation. In some situations, you may want to test slightly longer treatment times for a more aggressive treatment. You can also use shorter treatment times if that works well for you. DermaSeptic is very safe for a large variety of treatment times.
Will I feel anything?
No. You should not feel any sensation. In very unusual circumstances, clients have noted a very, very slight tingling. This is not a problem.
How does DermaSeptic work?
Silver is the active ingredient in DermaSeptic. Ionic silver is a natural anti-microbial that inhibits viral and bacterial infections. The DermaSeptic electronically infuses silver ions directly into the infected tissue. Because this is delivered under the skin, it can't be rubbed or washed off and will therefore remain effective for many hours - killing virus and bacteria as they try to grow.
How often and for how long should I hold the DermaSeptic against the infected area?
This depends on the area of the body where you are using it and your personal sensitivity.
Cold Sores and other Herpes Virus outbreaks (treatment guidelines):
These are best treated at their earliest stage, before they break the skin. Once they have created a sore, the natural healing process required to rebuild the skin will take a couple of days. When treated early, the lesions will generally not develop into the open sore stage. In some cases, another site may develop within hours of the first sites remission. Should this occur, immediately begin treating the new site with more applications per day as it will exhibit an accelerated cycle. Recommended Dosage: 5 minutes every 3 hours until the inflammation ceases. Once the inflammation has subsided, the frequency of treatment can be reduced. Since cold sores tend to occur on relatively soft tissue, a temporary grey-brown discoloration of the treated tissue may occur. This is not harmful and will disappear in a couple of days.
Warts (treatment guidelines):
Since these maladies, by their very nature, have a notable amount of tissue built up, it will take your body some time (after the virus is gone) to reduce the tissue mass. Warts can take up to a month to fully disappear. Prepare the wart for treatment by removing wart tissue with a dissolving product and soften the area by soaking or warm compress. These steps will increase the depth of penetration for the DermaSeptic and allows more effective reduction of the virus with each treatment. Recommended Dosage: 10 minutes twice a day until the tenderness or growth stops.
Acne (treatment guidelines):
Acne can be treated effectively with the DermaSeptic. It is best if the tip contacts only the blemish and not the surrounding skin. If it contacts the surrounding skin it could leave a small, temporary discoloration. This will disappear in a day or so. Recommended Dosage: We recommend you do a test treatment on one or two spots before treating a large area. This will help you determine how your skin type reacts to treatment time. Guideline treatment time is 3 minutes twice a day until the blemish disappears.
Other skin conditions (treatment guidelines):
Users of the DermaSeptic have reported excellent results on other viral or bacterial skin conditions ranging from fungus to rashes. When treating a condition not outlined in these instructions, simply treat a small area at regular intervals for a short period of time and monitor progress. If the area that you are treating shows improvement with respect to the untreated area, apply the standard procedure to the remainder of the affected area.
What sort of research and testing were involved in the creation of this product?
Klearsen utilized the capabilities of Bacterin Laboratory of Bozeman, Montana, for the initial review of the technology utilized in the product. You will note in the Research and Testing portion of this site, that Bacterin reports "the Klearsen Corp. technology is superior to all commercially available anti-infective coating technologies." The University of Colorado Medical School, Denver, Colorado, began a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of DermaSeptic in Fall 2003. The results will be available in May 2004.
How much is too much?
One common denominator is that the DermaSeptic product is designed to put the ionic silver in the place where it is needed. This allows one to use thousands of times less active agent than an oral antibiotic or antiviral. What this means to the user is that they can be far less concerned about "taking too much" than they would be with most common medications. Long applications of the DermaSeptic won't harm you, but they can leave a brownish-gray discoloration of the skin. This "stain" will go away in a day or two and is likely less objectionable than a throbbing open lesion, but it can usually be avoided by short applications at more frequent intervals.
More about Cold Sores, Fever Blisters and Herpes:
Cold Sores, Fever Blisters and Herpes are caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is estimated that 45 million Americans are plagued by this pesky virus. The virus most often lives in the nerve ganglia of your brain and travels down the nerve cells to the skin to multiply. When this migration occurs, the sufferer can usually feel the trouble brewing as a "tingling" feeling at the lip or around the mouth where the lesion is going to form. Once the virus arrives at the skin, it tears open the skin cells and robs them of cell machinery in order to replicate. This is what causes the damage and the large unsightly sore. The damage can be extensive and can take your body many days to repair.
More about Warts:
A number of our customers are using the DermaSeptic to rid themselves of persistent warts. This can be accomplished quite effectively in most cases. Recognizing the correct protocol for using the DermaSeptic and diligence are key to a successful outcome. Although the term "warts" was originally intended to describe a timorous growth condition which is caused by a virus, over the years it has been stretched to encompass a much greater set. It is now used to describe virtually any small tumorous growth on the skin. The importance here is that the DermaSeptic will kill the underlying virus which is driving a wart, only if it is virally induced. Warts that are not caused by a virus or fungus will not be effected by the DermaSeptic. Of course there is usually no way to know the "root" cause of the wart, but if it persists after treatment, then it is probably not virally induced.
The very issue that causes the wart to re-appear after the conventional means of removal have been applied is what causes it to be so vulnerable to the silver iontophoresis therapy provided by the DermaSeptic. Simply removing the tumorous growth does not rid the skin of the virus which precipitates the growth. The wart simply grows back. Recurrent or spreading warts are usually a good indication that the DermaSeptic is an appropriate means of therapy as it will kill the underlying virus.
The wart itself is a relatively difficult to penetrate piece of flesh. In order for the DermaSeptic to reach the root of the wart and kill the virus at the base, the ions must migrate through the skin. Clearly, the less skin that they have to migrate through, the more effective the therapy will be. We suggest using some sort of commercially available dissolving or wart removing product on the wart until it is reduced to the point of being even with the surface of the skin.
Once the bulk of the tumorous skin has been removed, a course of treatment with the DermaSeptic will be far more effective as it will require less time for more of the ions to actually reach the root of the wart where the virus is thriving. Applying the DermaSeptic for 10 minutes a day to the wart should kill the virus in the root within a week or two.
If the wart is a relatively new and soft low-profile growth, it is not necessary to remove it before therapy. The older and harder the wart is, the more difficult it is for the ions to penetrate it and get all the way to the root where they are needed to combat the virus.
