German study on BLUE LAGOON skin care products shows positive results

Skin care products developed from BLUE LAGOON geothermal seawater’s active ingredients: minerals, silica and algae provide positive results in the treatment of psoriasis both when used alone (monotherapy) and as a part of a other treatment methods (combination therapy). Dr. Med. Ulrich Amon confirmed this, one Germany’s most respected dermatologists at a seminar held at BLUE LAGOON - Geothermal Spa on February 25, 2005.

Professor Among, who conducted and introduced the result, is the medical director of the PsoriSol-Clinic in Hersbruck. The clinic, one of the largest of its kind in Germany, accommodates 160 patients and is specialized in treatment of psoriasis and neurodermatitis patients. Dr Amon has used BLUE LAGOON skin care products, both separately and as a part of other treatment programs offered at the clinic. Dr Amon has also used the products at his own cosmetic institute specializing in beauty treatments and therapy.
The results show that BLUE LAGOON skin care products are considered to have positive effects on psoriasis both when used alone (monotherapy) and as a part of other treatments (combination therapy). They reduce scaling and irritation and there is a strong indication that the products have preventive effects against psoriasis. The following BLUE LAGOON products were used in the study:  mineral bath salts, silica mud mask and mineral moisturizing cream. These products, developed with the needs of psoriasis patients in mind, have been used as treatment products since BLUE LAGOON psoriasis treatment was first offered by Blue Lagoon Ltd.

The study focused on how the patients liked the products and what results the patients considered the products to have. These are the first results of studies where BLUE LAGOON products are combined with other treatment methods for an example laser treatment. Both results are promising and show that the products are very effective.
Grímur Sæmundsen, MD, and Blue Lagoon’s managing director said the company had been looking at cooperation with German dermatologists for a while. Marketing of BLUE LAGOON skin care products in Germany began in 2004. “We decided to concentrate on the German market before marketing the products in other countries. The feedback we have received from both the German consumer market and dermatologists is promising,” he said.
