At the medical center “Alternativa,” under the supervision of Chief Physician Olga Timchenko, therapeutic fasting is applied as an effective method for body detoxification, normalization of the immune system, and skin restoration in various dermatological conditions.
Skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis, acne, rosacea, and chronic allergic rashes are often linked to internal imbalances: toxic load, gut microbiota dysbiosis, inflammation, metabolic disorders, and immune deficiencies.
Therapeutic fasting activates deep detoxification, autophagy (cellular self-cleaning), and tissue regeneration mechanisms, resulting in improved skin condition and reduced inflammation. At the medical center “Alternativa,” fasting is complemented by a comprehensive detox program, ozone therapy, lymphatic drainage, and physiotherapy equipment for maximum therapeutic effect.
How does therapeutic fasting affect the skin?
Therapeutic fasting exerts multi-level effects on the body, addressing the main causes of skin diseases:
- Deep detoxification. During fasting, autophagy is activated – the process of breaking down damaged cells and toxins. This helps cleanse the skin, reduce rashes, itching, and inflammation.
- Restoration of gut microbiota. Dysbiosis is a key contributor to skin problems. Fasting promotes natural correction of microbiota, improves nutrient absorption, and reduces allergic reactions.
- Reduction of inflammation. Psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis are associated with chronic systemic inflammation. Therapeutic fasting decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines, normalizes immune response, and reduces the severity of skin lesions.
- Regulation of sebaceous gland function. Fasting lowers insulin and androgen levels, reducing skin oiliness and decreasing the risk of acne.
- Activation of tissue regeneration. During fasting, the body triggers self-healing mechanisms, restores collagen and elastin fibers, improves skin texture, and reduces post-acne marks, scars, and hyperpigmentation.
- Normalization of hormonal balance. Hormonal imbalances (e.g., excess cortisol or estrogens) can provoke skin diseases. Fasting normalizes hormones, reduces stress, and improves overall skin condition.

Stages of therapeutic fasting for skin diseases
1. Preparation stage (5 days at home)
- Elimination of allergenic foods (dairy, gluten, sugar)
- Intake of sorbents and herbal preparations to cleanse liver and intestines
2. Deep detoxification phase (5 days at the clinic)
- Accommodation in a single/double room
- Examinations: doctor consultation, abdominal ultrasound (liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen) and kidneys, ECG, tests for viruses, bacteria, parasites, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and food intolerances using the Medical Expert Complex
- Hypoallergenic nutrition (juice therapy, raw food, therapeutic fasting)
- Detox program: cleansing of large and small intestines, liver and gallbladder, kidneys, ozonated water, micro-enemas with ozonated oil, antiparasitic, choleretic, renal teas, massage
- Ozone therapy: intravenous, rectal insufflations with ozone-oxygen mixture, ENT organ sanitation, ozonated water intake, micro-enemas with ozonated oil
- Apparatus lymphatic drainage to accelerate toxin removal
- Energy-Informational Therapy to eliminate parasitic and bacterial load
- Visceral massage
3. Main therapeutic fasting (5 days at the clinic)
- Specialist supervision
- Autophagy and skin cleansing from inflammatory elements
- Improvement of dermis and epidermis condition
4. Breaking the fast (5 days at the clinic)
- Gradual introduction of alkaline nutrition
- Probiotics to restore gut microbiota
- Herbal therapy to improve skin condition
5. Consolidation of results (5 days at home)
- Individual nutrition and skin care program
- Restoration of vitamin and mineral balance
- Physical activity and stress management
Comprehensive skin restoration program at MC “Alternativa”
To enhance the effects of therapeutic fasting, the center uses additional procedures:
Ozone therapy for skin conditions
- Injection of ozone-oxygen mixture into affected skin areas
- Ozonated IV drips to improve metabolism
- Topical applications of ozonated oil on affected areas
- Ozone-oxygen mixture gasification of limbs/body in a plastic bag
Detox programs for skin conditions
- Lymphatic drainage massage to accelerate toxin elimination
- Herbal sauna for skin detoxification through sweating and gut restoration
- Herbal preparations to support liver and kidneys
- Visceral massage – massage of internal organs
Physiotherapy equipment for skin conditions
- Laser therapy for skin restoration: Psorolight 311 nm photocabin, 308 nm excimer laser
- Pressotherapy to improve microcirculation
- Energy-Informational Therapy to eliminate infectious factors
Treatment results
After completing the therapeutic fasting course, patients report:
✔ Improved skin condition, reduced inflammation and rashes
✔ Detoxification from toxins and allergens
✔ Reduced itching, flaking, and irritation
✔ Restoration of gut microbiota and normalized digestion
✔ Reduced stress factors affecting the skin
✔ Increased skin elasticity and hydration
Therapeutic fasting at the medical center “Alternativa” is a powerful tool for skin restoration, body detoxification, and normalization of metabolic processes. Under the guidance of Olga Vladimirovna Timchenko, patients undergo a safe and controlled fasting course, which helps eliminate chronic skin diseases, improve overall well-being, and restore a healthy appearance.
