Hadasi

Hadasi is a style of acne treatment that originated in the 1960s. Developed by Israelzhon Hadassah, the treatment involves the use of a combination of acitretin, a synthetic retinoid, and corticosteroids to manage various forms of acne. The therapy is typically administered in a dermatologist's office and may require multiple sessions over several weeks.

Hadasi treatment is based on the concept of acne being a multifactorial disease that involves an interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. By targeting these factors, Hadasi treatment aims to reduce inflammation, prevent abnormal skin cell growth, and control sebum production. The therapy involves a series of injections given at one to three week intervals. In some cases, a topical medicated cream may also be applied to affected areas.

Hadasi treatment has been associated with a variety of benefits for patients with mild to moderate acne. These include a reduction in the severity of acne lesions, a decrease in the occurrence of new acne lesions, and an improvement in overall skin health. However, as with any medical treatment, Hadasi therapy can also have adverse effects. These may include redness, itching, swelling, and dryness of the skin. In some cases, patients may experience mild side effects such as headache, dizziness, or fatigue.

Since its introduction, Hadasi treatment has been used by various dermatologists and has undergone ongoing research for further improvement and efficacy. However, its effectiveness and suitability for use in all forms of acne are still being studied and debated. Therefore, individuals with concerns about acne are encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalized guidance and treatment recommendations.
