Prof. A. M. Kligman firstly coined the term "corneotherapy". He could show that the persistent corneotherapeutic treatment of the disturbed homeostasis as the characteristic feature of atopic dermatitis with appropriate skin care substances may achieve substantial clinical effects.
Causal application requires an exact skin diagnosis. Skin testing and diagnoses are offered by the Institute for Applied Corneotherapy (IAK).
The corneotherapy aims at the recovery of the stratum corneum and above all, it improves the function of the skin barrier and subsequently also the overall homeostasis of the skin. For the purpose of a preventive corneotherapy it is essential to avoid skin care products with harmful substances such as irritants and allergens, to select the appropriate skin care substances, to individually adapt the skin care products to the specific skin problems and possibly change nutritional habits following a corneotherapeutic consultation.
The IAK is open for visitors and offers cosmetic and dermatological treatments. Products used for studies are partly free of charge.
The IAK develops treatment procedures based on the "Extended Corneotherapy" and offers consulting in the case of problem skin. The IAK combines the disciplines of cosmetics, dermatology and medical wellness.
