Product Information

However, during certain times in life, such as time of high stress, puberty, menopause, pregnancy and the natural process of aging, as well as during certain types of illnesses, the skin may produce too much sebum. This can interfere with how cells mature and regenerate, allowing bacteria and fungal matter to slip inside and cause irritation and infection. This, in turn, leads to the emergence of acne. Though it’s discouraged for oral use, colloidal silver can still be found in liquid and spray form. Most products contain very low doses of colloidal silver, usually ranging from 10–30 parts per million (ppm) ( 7). The local toxic effects of silver are more likely to occur, and are due to the cytotoxicity of the silver ion against keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Poon et al found that in monolayer cultures of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, silver became toxic to cells at a concentration of 33ppm or greater. 16 However, when fibroblasts were cultured in a collagen lattice, replicating more closely in vivo conditions, the toxic concentration increased to 60ppm. On the other hand, for the silver ion to have effective bactericidal activity, a concentration of 30 to 40ppm is needed. 1 Few studies have been done to test this clinically, but in 2011 the NIH took 100 children under the age of 12 suffering from the common cold and nasal congestion and assigned them into two groups. The first group was treated with a solution of colloidal silver and beta glucan, and the second group with saline solution. Even though both groups benefited from the treatment, 90 percent of the people in the colloidal silver group completely recovered. For instance, you can potentially treat ringworm ( Tinea capitis) at home with colloidal silver because it’s a potent antifungal. Caused by a fungus that lives on the top layer of the skin, ringworm presents as round, scaly patches.

In this section, you will learn about some of the most common ways colloidal silver can be used to treat acne. You can use more than one remedy at a time. For example, you may want to use pure colloidal silver dabbed right on blemish areas (use 1) together with internal colloidal silver (use 2) and then carry a colloidal silver mist (use 3) in your bag to use as your face becomes too oily or dry. Finally, silver is found in other commercial products, such as cleaning agents, agricultural treatments, and personal hygiene products like shower gels and deodorants ( 7). Summary Colloidal silver is a solution of water that contains nanometre-sized particles of suspended silver. Colloidal silver is approved for topical application on skin infections, skin wounds, and in bandages and dressings for the treatment of burns. However, colloidal silver drugs that are marketed for oral intake are not legal for sale ( 1).

Conclusion

The general procedure for silver staining includes the fixation of silver, sensitization, impregnation of silver, and development of an image. Several variants of the technique have emerged, some performed within an hour and others taking over 24 hours to complete. Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; Any company that produces silver products that are labeled or promoted to prevent or cure disease must undergo FDA approval prior to marketing. Otherwise, the product is considered misbranded and is subject to regulatory action ( 3).

The addition of a silver dressing to polyurethane sponge enhances the antimicrobial activity of NPWT The past few decades have seen a renewed interest in silver as a topical antimicrobial agent. Silver sulfadiazine (SSD) is a very widely used silver formulation, especially in burns. More recently, dressing with nanocrystalline silver has been developed. These novel dressings release silver ions into the wound in a sustained fashion. Typically, colloidal silver products are sold as homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy is based on the premise that very low doses of a substance can produce health benefits, though little research supports this ( 7). Promote better healing and explore our silver gel for wounds, or One Silver Gel. Powered by the anti-microbial power of real silver, it’s the most advanced formula available for those who want to use silver for wound care.

Whether you’re using it to promote healing or as part of your beauty regimen, there’s no better gel on the market. Structured Silver Solution Compare activity of polyurethane NPWT sponge versus silver dressing and polyurethane NPWT sponge against S. aureus and P. aeruginosaThe unique quality of colloidal silver is that it can help regardless of the pathogen, as research indicates it has antiviral and antibacterial properties. You can take up to one eyedropper full of colloidal silver per day as an additional source of support for treating acne. This should be used in conjunction with topical colloidal silver rather than as a standalone treatment. Additionally, silver is commonly added to bandages and dressings to help with wound and burn healing. Common brands names include Acticoat, Allevyn Ag, Aquacel Ag, Biatain Ag, Flamazine, Mepilex Ag, and Silvercel ( 7). Research suggests that the effects of colloidal silver vary depending on the size and shape of the particles of silver, as well as their concentration in a solution ( 8, 9, 10, 11).
