Can the Derma Therapy Pillow Help with Acne?

Frequently described as an "acne pillow" on television and in newspapers, the Derma Therapy Pillow Cases appears to help improve skin conditions. The fabric is currently undergoing extensive clinical trials to investigate the positive effects these pillow cases may have on facial acne. It is believed that the combination of the smooth, moisture-wicking fabric coupled with a non-migrating antimicrobial style might help to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with facial acne.

The smooth texture of the material minimises irritation, while the fabric channels potential facial irritants such as oils and moisture away from the skin. This provides a smooth and fresh sleeping surface, minimising potential skin irritation and allowing you to simply focus on sleeping soundly.

Indications for the Derma Therapy Antimicrobial Pillow Cases

Derma Therapy bedding is designed for those who suffer from skin and hormonal conditions. This includes the following:

• Acne
• Atopic dermatitis
• Eczema
• Menopausal hot flushes
• Night sweats
• Pressure sores
• Psoriasis

Sleep Study Results

Derma Therapy’s unrivalled fibre technology dissipates heat and moisture away from the skin, evenly distributing it over the entire sheet to leave a cleaner, drier and smoother surface. The special fibre structure of the pillows also prevents loose fibres that could irritate delicate and broken skin from protruding out of the pillow surface. A sleep study of patients with mild atopic dermatitis and eczema demonstrated significant improvements in the severity of their condition, as well as their levels of itching and perceived quality of life after only eight weeks of using the bedding.

A second sleep study undertaken at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, USA has proven that after eight weeks of sleeping on Derma Therapy sheets, participants who suffered from flushes and night sweats had regained normal sleep patterns. Participants were generally able to sleep uninterrupted for longer and were able to stay cool, dry and comfortable after just two weeks.

What Makes Derma Therapy Bedding So Special? 

The difference between Derma Therapy fabric and standard poly/cotton fabric is startling

Derma Therapy Pillow Cases provide durable, antimicrobial protection to maintain freshness, as well as a special "soil release" finish that helps to remove oils, creams, blood and other stains. This helps reduce irritation of the skin so you remain comfortable throughout use.

Derma Therapy material is considerably smoother, lighter and thinner than cotton. This special bedding is as soft as the highest percentile Egyptian cotton sheets and feels equally luxurious to the touch. With an average pore size of just 8.5 microns, it has the added advantage of helping to protect against dust mites.

Suitable for Healthcare Settings

Suitable for use in hospitals, Derma Therapy can withstand washing temperatures of up to 90°C but can be laundered just as efficiently at 30°C, helping you do your bit for the environment and reduce CO2 emissions. Fabric conditioners are also unnecessary, allowing you to avoid other potential sources of irritation.
