Dermatological climatotherapy is used in the treatment of chronic and chronically relapsing long-term dermatoses, such as, especially, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, complementing the dermatological therapies applied at the patient's place of living. It is a classical dermatological in-clinic therapy carried through in specific rough and stimulating climate areas of proven therapeutic benefit, primarily the North Sea climate and certain alpine locations over 1 500 m above sea-level, like especially in the high mountain valley of Davos, Switzerland. Dermatological climatotherapy is a well-tried therapeutic agent which, in comparison to the dermatological therapies applied at home, as a rule has fewer side effects as well as, above all, an additional long-lasting time effect. The latter is of particular importance regarding chronical diseases and cannot be achieved by other therapies. Dermatological climatotherapy, hence, represents an all-entailing therapy form and moreover is the most comprehensive therapy anyway. Dermatological climatotherapy can only be performed in rough and stimulating climate zones with additional special insolation, thermichygric and defined aerosol conditions. On the one hand, the organism is stabilized general by those climatic conditions, and, on the other, the constitutionally damaged skin is affected positively by the direct influence of climate factors. As every climate has its specific overall effect, the therapeutical immediate and long-term effects of a climate have to be proven scientifically by follow-up studies.
