Sjögren's Syndrome and skin: supporting rosacea-prone skin

Indications

Dry, thin, and reactive skin, with underlying redness and a pink rash. Visible papules transitioning in places to pustules, scabs in areas of redness, and signs of dehydration. Fair phototype and genetic predisposition to erythema.

Case description

A client diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome developed rosacea symptoms after steroid therapy: persistent redness, skin hyperreactivity, dryness, and inflammatory elements. Skin treatment was planned cautiously—with an emphasis on calming, supporting the hydrolipid barrier, reducing the visibility of redness, and improving skin comfort, without aggressive stimulation.

Treatment protocol

1. Bio Phyto — 3 treatments performed every 4 weeks, targeting problematic, sensitive, and redness-prone skin.
2. Rose de Mer peeling — 2 treatments performed every 5 weeks, introduced selectively to improve skin texture and support epidermal regeneration.
3. Unstress — 2 treatments performed once a month, aimed at soothing, moisturizing, and improving the resilience of reactive skin.

Home care

• Line Repair Nutrient Pure Natural Cleanser — gentle cleansing without compromising skin comfort.
• Unstress Total Serenity Serum — soothing serum for sensitive and dehydrated skin.
• Bio Phyto Zaatar Cream — cream supporting skin with a tendency for imperfections and redness.
• Bio Phyto Balancing Cream — balancing cream, supporting daily care of problematic skin.

Effect

After 3 months, a significant improvement in skin condition was observed: the complexion became brighter and more even, signs of dehydration and the intensity of redness decreased. A reduction in inflammatory elements and an improvement in overall skin comfort were also visible.
