What is Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is a chemical element that occurs naturally in the air. It is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It is the simplest of all elements and forms water when combined with oxygen, carbon dioxide when combined with carbon, methane when combined with carbon monoxide, ammonia when dissolved in liquid ammonia or hydrogen fluoride when dissolved in hydrofluoric acid.

Why should I use it?

There are many different reasons why people opt for this treatment to help improve their skin condition. Many people suffer from acne, psoriasis or even eczema which can cause plenty of distress due to how unsightly it can be. Using a product designed to use a substance that can be found in nature can help tackle these concerns.

Over the years hydrogen has been used to treat a wide variety of skin problems. You can buy hydrogen treatments that have been specifically produced for acne, psoriasis, dermatitis and other conditions. The ingredients used will vary from person to person depending on their needs and where they are coming from.

How is it applied?

Hydrogen Therapy is typically collected from the air with a small piece of plastic or glass collected from a previous device used for this purpose. A small amount of liquid is added to the plastic once the gas has been collected. This liquid can be water or a special oil or cream designed to help promote healthier, clearer skin.

How is it effective?

The exact mechanisms involved in how hydrogen works in helping these conditions are not fully understood by scientists and researchers. However, there have been a number of studies which have provided some evidence for its effectiveness in improving skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. A study from 2005 tested this treatment on patients with chronic palmoplantar pustulosis (aka pustular dermatosis of the palms), a type of recurrent infection.
