Tattoo therapy cures multiple sclerosis

Scientists are studying the possibility of treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, with the help of temporary tattoos. According to Christine Beeton, a researcher from Baylor College of Medicine, particles with

Tiny particles with a carbon content are placed under the skin and act selectively on particular cells. After a certain time they are absorbed the immune system and disappear. "The ability to selectively block a specific type of cell in the environment where there are other cells that may help doctors to give them more control over autoimmune diseases," explains Beaton.

According to Redwan Huck, the author of the journal Nature, carried through this study, most used today methods of treatment are of a General immunosuppressive nature. This affects all cells and may be side effects from various infections to a higher risk of development of cancer.

Beaton says the effects are only T-cells and not other immune cells such as macrophages. And that this discovery was completely unexpected.

Soluble nanoparticles, which were synthesized by James Tour, the scientist-chemist from the lab of rice University, during the preliminary studies in rodents showed no obvious signs of toxicity. They combine a polyethylene glycol with hydrolytic carbon clusters, hence the name, PEG-HCC.

Laboratory Baylor University ran some tests that showed that a small amount of PEG-HCC, is inserted under the animal's skin, slowly absorbed T-lymphocytes, where they block the function of cells.

It was also found that nanoparticles do not remain in T-cells and disappear within a few days after absorption by the cells.

Beaton believes that the introduction of carbon nanoparticles under the skin and not into the circulatory system, will allow longer in the body.

The only drawback appears on the skin is temporary, but noticeable point that resembles a tattoo. "At first we thought that it would be a real problem if these points will appear in patients, says Beaton. But then we found the solution. The injection can be made in some hidden place, or in the form of small drawings."

Remember: proper care of a tattoo depends on its quality and your health!

And to have your tattoo after healing turned into "portak", we will explain how to care for your tattoo immediately after application and prior to full healing.

How to care for your tattoo immediately after application?

Contrary to misconceptions, a fresh tattoo should not be rinsed with alcohol.
Gently, flowing movements, rinse it with cream and lymph clean hands and wait until the tattoo is dry (in any case, do not wipe!).

What to lubricate a tattoo?

After the tattoo has dried, apply an ointment for healing that you advise your tattoo artist (recommended professional products such as "Tattoo Goo", or its analogues, also there is a standard antibacterial and healing agents such as "Agent" or "D-Panthenol").

After applying the ointment, cover the tattoo with a protective film.

The first three days

Within two days it is necessary to repeat the procedure promania and applying a healing cream two to three times a day.

Carefully follow sterility.

On the third day wash and dry the tattoo in the sealing film more is not necessary.

Is it possible to strip off the crust?

After two or three days after applying the tattoo to a crust, which eventually begin to dry and fall.

In any case it is impossible to scratch or tear the crust, otherwise you risk damaging the figure. Delete during the daily washing of the separated fragments, but do not RUB the crust away themselves after the final healing.

What if I stripped the skin off a tattoo?

If you still damaged the crust, don't panic, gently remove the allocation of blood and lymph, apply a layer of healing ointment, and then bandage it.

Repeat this procedure until complete healing of the damaged area.

After complete healing of the tattoo on the damaged part appears the likelihood of pallor of the figure, blurring the outlines and even the appearance of light scars.

In this case, contact your master and agree on the re-painting of the damaged pattern or adjusting it depending on the consequences.

Until complete healing of the tattoo

How long to heal a tattoo?

The average tattoo fully heals from a week to two weeks, depending on the size and density of the pattern.

Up to this point, try to make some constraints in their livelihoods, in order not to harm the tattoo.

Solariums and the sun

If possible, protect the tattoo from direct sunlight, especially in hot climates.

The sun's rays, like ultraviolet light tanning, in a relatively short period of time are able to lighten pigments unhealed tattoo.

In the case that the need to find the sun still exists, you can use a special sunscreen with SPF 30 that you can buy in any pharmacy (approximate cost is 200-300 rubles).

Bathing, showering

Unlike the special washing tattoo, during showering or bathing, with the water can get dirt and bacteria, which, in turn, will cause swelling and inflammation of the skin that will lead to the ejection of the coloring pigment.

Before you shower apply a liberal amount of cosmetic tattoo vaseline, from top, apply the protective film. Thus, due to the hydrophobic properties of vaseline, your tattoo will be protected.

From bathing in sea water and long-time receptions baths have to give up, otherwise your tattoo may lose a significant percentage of brightness.

Alcohol, drugs and load

Alcohol, like many drugs, increases the pressure, which may cause the ejection of the pigment.

In addition, chemical substances can enter into reaction with the pigment, discoloring it or causing painful effects on the skin.

You should also limit physical exertion (running, gym, heavy physical work), which again will increase your blood pressure.

How old do tattoos?

Tattoos in our country are allowed to do at 18. Minor to get a figure on the body is possible only with the consent of parents (guardians) and in the presence of one of them. Therefore, in the cabin, valuing its reputation, you may request passport and, if you don't meet the age requirements, send for the parents.

In good salons these rules are set not by chance: reaching the age of majority, a person acquires full legal capacity and liability for their actions. In addition, the age stops the growth of the body – tattoo, done in the period of active growth, may eventually be deformed and displaced, which, of course, spoil the appearance and the overall impression of the image of its owner.

Also teenagers tend impulsive and boyish. Perpetuating your body in different phrases, names, etc., they do not even want to think about the fact that after a few years of their life and Outlook can change significantly. Tattoo rashly made in his youth, can bring a lot of diverse problems in adulthood: emotional, causing negative associations to social – interfering with employment and so on.

Only a serious approach and thorough pre-study of issues related to tattooing will provide you the desired result and eliminate problems in the future. So, if you are under 18 years of age and parents do not support you in the pursuit to become the owner of the tattoo, in any case, don't expose yourself to the perceived risk, trusting my body homegrown "masters." Most likely, very soon you will be grateful to my parents for saving you from a rash step. But if your desire to do the most cherished tattoo only gets stronger – gave her as a present on coming of age!

How to make a tattoo?

When you have decided with the master chose the topic of tattoos and had finally confirmed his desire to become the owner of the tattoo, you can begin sketching. It usually performs the wizard at the client's request, however, you may bring your sketch for approval with the master and the details.

After it is approved the cost, size, color, shape and location of the tattooing, printed out the pattern and prepared workplace – can begin.

For the selected part of the body treated alcohol pad, thin layer of antibacterial agent. Then the skin is applied a sheet of special carbon paper, which has previously been transferred, the printed image. After a few seconds the paper is removed. The outlines transferred onto the skin.

To the machine, covered with a disposable barrier protection, attached sterile needle. Then a special container filled with paint in the required amount, and the master begins the transfer of the pattern on the body. The skin is smeared with vaseline, and, periodically immersing the needle into the ink, the practitioner applies the contours of the figure. In the process, the excess paint is removed with a tissue or cotton swab.

The next step is the shading. This has been used for other specially designed for this machine and new, also different from the first sterile needle.
