Detoxification: process mechanisms and effects on the skin
Toxicology for specialists in aesthetic medicine
Although cosmetology and toxicology have traditionally been viewed as separate disciplines, they are both important to understanding skin health and the overall health of the body. Let's look at a few key areas where these fields intersect.
Detoxification is a metabolic process that the body uses to transform and remove toxins. This is primarily the process of converting fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble ones to facilitate their removal from the body.
One of the main self-defense mechanisms of the body is the neutralization of metabolic products and toxins and their transformation into soluble and safe by-products, which are then excreted. Of all the filtering and detoxification that happens automatically in our body, most of it takes place in the liver. It takes the blow from endo- and ecotoxins, transforming them into such a form that they can be excreted from the body.
In addition, liver cells constantly produce fat. If the fat is not released into the blood, it accumulates in the liver cells and causes their damage (fatty infiltration or fatty hepatosis).
