Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. Together we can help to manage and correct symptoms through treatments and a skin prescription.
Rosacea is characterized by redness, visible blood vessels, and, in some cases, acne-like bumps. It typically appears on the central part of the face, especially the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. Rosacea can also cause the skin to feel sensitive or to burn, and in more severe cases, it can lead to thickened skin, particularly on the nose, a condition known as rhinophyma. The exact cause of rosacea is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common triggers of rosacea symptoms include inflammatory foods, sun exposure, harsh weather conditions, stress & alcohol. Together we can come up with a plan to repair barrier function and manage symptoms with topical products and in clinic treatment options.
Pigmentation refers to the colouring of the skin, which is determined by the amount and type of melanin produced by melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigment. When there are changes or abnormalities in pigmentation, it can lead to various skin conditions. Pigmentation can present on the skin in many different ways. Hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure commonly known as freckles. Pigmentation caused by hormonal factors commonly known as melasma. Hypo-pigmentation lightening of the skin is caused by genetics, trauma and inflammation on the skin or surrounding area. We can achieve incredible results with various treatment options combined with a customised skincare prescription.
