Laser acne treatment and Laboratory diagnostics have become more expensive

Acne vulgaris or pimples is not only a painful problem for teenagers, but also a real disaster for Hollywood stars. Kate Moss, Dita von Teese, Cameron Diaz and even the divine Madonna "flashed" ugly rashes on their faces in the flashes of the cameras of the ubiquitous paparazzi.
A recent study conducted by specialists from the dermatology center at Buckingham Medical University showed that 25 percent of adult women suffer from the same affliction as teenagers. "The main causes of acne are hormonal changes and frequent stress," says Tony Chu, professor of dermatology. "I've had patients cancel weddings because of skin rashes."

The standard remedies are a course of antibiotics and vitamins plus special creams, ointments, and lotions. However, Professor Chu suggests another way to solve the problem – the N-lite laser. A scientist accidentally discovered the positive effect of shining light: one of his patients with severe acne used laser therapy designed to rejuvenate the skin and managed to get rid of terrible pimples in just two weeks. Professor Chu conducted a number of additional studies, during which it turned out that yellow light really kills acne bacteria, while blue disinfects the skin, and red rays relieve inflammation.

Laboratory diagnostics have become more expensive

The cost of laboratory tests has increased since January 3, 2013. The Ministry of Health has published its resolution No. 188, which defines the marginal prices for laboratory diagnostic tests conducted on a fee basis. Thus, all types of blood tests – hematological, biochemical and others – have become significantly more expensive. Blood sampling from a finger, which in 2012 cost 2.5 thousand Belarusian rubles, now costs 4.1 thousand. Taking blood from a vein instead of 3.5 thousand now costs 5.1 thousand.
The previous time prices for laboratory diagnostics services increased was in 2011, and, according to representatives of the Ministry of Health, the cost of these services does not exceed the capabilities of citizens. In turn, if prices had not been increased, doctors would not have been able to carry out tests, since the incoming funds would not have made up for the cost of diagnosis. As before, virological and bacteriological studies will remain the most expensive. So, virological examination of cells, depending on the variety, will cost 380-500 thousand rubles, microbiological examination of cells for the presence of cholera virus – 509 thousand, intestinal examination for dysbiosis – 142 thousand rubles.
