Abstract
The procedures of most medical cosmetic manipulations are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin, which primarily increases the risk of infectious complications. Among other risk factors influencing the development of such complications, one can single out the action of the active components of the drugs, violation of the technology for performing procedures. Reactivation of herpes virus infection is one of the complications of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures (laser ablation, injection techniques, microneedling, peeling). Quite a lot of cosmetologists underestimate the increased risks of complications of cosmetic procedures, in particular the reactivation of a herpes infection, and are not aware of the need for preventive courses of antiherpetic therapy, including short-term (episodic) and long-term regimens of suppressive treatment with antiviral drugs. The best strategy for managing herpes virus infection in the context of cosmetic procedures with a potential risk of virus reactivation is prevention. Preventive measures should include a thorough history taking followed by an analysis of the risks of exacerbation of herpes virus infection and the selection of personalized suppressive therapy. In this regard, valaciclovir (Valcicon) is the most reasonable choice and can be recommended for use in wide clinical practice for suppressive short-term and long-term therapy. Therapy for exacerbations of herpes viral infection should include a 2-component scheme for the use of an antiviral systemic drug (valaciclovir) and an external drug (ribavirin).
