Vaselix is a brand that prevents and combats the symptoms of hyperkeratosis. It is part of an extensive list of brands operated by Laboratorios Viñas, a family-owned pharmaceutical company founded in Barcelona in 1911. Specialising in the field of health, it has continued the innovative and forward-looking vision of its founder, pharmacist Pedro Viñas, by promoting research into new and original formulations. Through research, Laboratorios Viñas achieves the scientific and social objectives that have always driven it, surpassing the increasingly demanding requirements of quality, safety and efficacy.
Laboratorios Viñas researches, develops, produces and markets its drugs and pharmaceutical products in a wide range of therapeutic areas, including dermatology, gynaecology, paediatrics and general medicine, among others. Laboratorios Viñas is part of the Plan for the Promotion of Research in Spain, currently known as the Profarma Plan, which aims to promote competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry.
Along with research, the diversification of its business activity into new areas of health has been another key success factor that has earned it the trust of pharmacists, doctors and their patients.
Having celebrated its centenary since its incorporation, the ideals of service to health and the social objective of the founder are still fully valid today as an added value and a sign of identity that is evident in a company made up of a team of more than 200 people.
Its mission is to improve people's health and quality of life through innovation and excellence within our strategic therapeutic orientations, and to contribute to the well-being of the families that make up the company and to be a benchmark in the pharmaceutical industry at a national level and expand its international presence, being recognised as an innovative, solvent and socially committed company.
The products in the Vaselix range contain salicylic acid as the main active ingredient in concentrations ranging from 5% to 40%. Salicylic acid is a very useful active ingredient in hyperkeratosis, situations of various origins in which the skin is over-thickened (such as psoriasis, actinic keratosis, chronic eczema or calluses, among many others).
Salicylic acid is a reference keratolytic in dermatology, which acts by exfoliating and eliminating hyperkeratotic skin. The Vaselix range has innovative, non-oily, innovative formulas with excellent galenic properties, patented on the basis of its own galenic research. This range brings together preparations containing from 5% to 40% salicylic acid to treat mild (Vaselix 5%), moderate (Vaselix 10%) and severe hyperkeratosis (Vaselix 20% and Vaselix 40%).
Vaselix is also available as a hair gel (Vaselix 10% Hair Gel) with an innovative galenic formulation that allows it to be applied to the scalp without greasing or leaving residues, with easy spreadability, good odour and proven stability (it does not go rancid).
This is a thickening of the skin due to an increase of cells in the area. Popularly known as calluses. The cause of hyperkeratosis is intermittent pressure or friction that causes the skin layers to shift. It can be related to external pressure such as a shoe or internal pressure such as a deformed toe. This thickening of the skin can cause discomfort and may be accompanied by other harder lesions.
Helomas or calluses are produced in areas of friction or continuous trauma. They can be found on the back of the toes, under the nails or even between the nails. In each case, the mechanism of production is different. In the case of helomas on the back of the toes, they are usually caused by rubbing or pressure from footwear. Other times this rubbing is aggravated by some deformity of the toes that causes them to contact more.
Inclusion heloma. These are usually found on the sole of the foot in the forefoot areas and are the result of extra pressure and a long period of evolution. They are usually larger in size and very painful. In their structure there is a yellowish halo with a higher density.
Papillomas (warts) are small benign skin growths caused by the human papilloma virus. They affect between 7 and 10% of the population. They are spread directly from person to person. The virus enters the skin through lesions such as small cuts, bruises or small wounds. The incubation period of the virus in the human body ranges from 4 weeks to 8 months.
Warts cause a thickening of the skin layers and can be mistaken for a hyperkeratotic lesion, delaying diagnosis and treatment. They can be found on their own or in a group formed like a cauliflower. There are a variety of treatments and warts always require individualised treatment depending on the patient, the type of wart, location and time of evolution.
Chiropodists, through chiropody treatment, can provide a solution to this problem and explain to the patient a series of measures to prevent them from recurring. Helomas or corns. The treatment consists of delaminating the area and eliminating the layers of keratin. If the cause is footwear, the podiatrist will recommend the most suitable type of footwear to reduce pressure. If the cause is the toe itself due to its shape, the podiatrist will recommend a custom-made device or insole to reduce the pressure or even surgery to completely and definitively solve the problem.
Inclusion heloma. In these cases, in addition to delaminating the area and eliminating the layers of the quieratina, it is necessary to carry out a biomechanical study in order to make customised insoles to relieve the pain in the area of the lesion. In some cases this type of lesion has to be surgically removed and then a customised insole is made to reduce the pressure.
