Concerns

Acne is a common skin condition characterised by the presence of clogged pores, inflammation and the formation of pimples or blemishes on the skin. It usually occurs when hair follicles become blocked by excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria.

Acne scars are permanent marks that develop as a result of severe acne. They can manifest in different forms, such as raised or depressed areas on the skin. These scars occur due to the inflammation and damage caused by acne lesions.

Skin congestion is when the pores of the skin become blocked or congested, typically due to a build up of oil, dead skin cells and debris. This can lead to various skin issues such as blackheads, whiteheads and breakouts.

Dry skin, also known as xerosis, is a common skin condition characterised by a lack of moisture and inadequate oil production. It occurs when the skin fails to retain sufficient moisture, resulting in a rough, flaky and sometimes itchy or tight feeling.

Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that results in red, itchy and inflamed patches on the skin. It is a non-contagious condition that can affect people of all ages, including infants, children and adults.

Fine lines and wrinkles are common signs of aging that appear on the skin, particularly on the face. They are caused by a combination of factors, including the natural aging process, exposure to sunlight, loss of collagen and elastin fibres and lifestyle choices.

Enlarged pores are visible openings on the skin's surface, typically more prominent on the face. They occur when the pores become stretched or dilated, often due to factors like excess oil production, genetics, aging, sun damage, and clogging.

Pain is a complex sensation that involves the nervous system's response to tissue damage, inflammation, or other stimuli. Pain can vary in its location, intensity and duration and it can affect different parts of the body, including muscles, organs and the skin.

Pigmentation refers to the darkening or discoloration of patches of skin compared to the surrounding area. It occurs when there is an excess production or accumulation of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour.

Psoriasis is a long-lasting, noncontagious autoimmune disease characterised by raised areas of abnormal skin. These areas are red, pink, or purple, dry, itchy and scaly. It effects the skin, nails and sometimes joints.

Oily skin is a skin type characterised by an overproduction of sebum, the natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. It is often associated with a shiny or greasy appearance and can be prone to issues such as acne and clogged pores.

Rejuvenation typically refers to treatments or procedures aimed at improving the appearance and vitality of the skin, reducing signs of aging and promoting a more youthful, glowing and refreshed look.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels and occasionally acne-like bumps. It typically affects the central face and may be accompanied by sensations of burning or stinging.

Scarring refers to the process of the skin healing after an injury or wound, resulting in the formation of fibrous tissue. It is a natural part of the body's healing response and occurs when the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin) is damaged.

Stretch marks, also known as striae, are long, narrow streaks or lines that develop on the skin. They are a type of scar that occurs when the skin stretches or shrinks rapidly, causing the collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis (middle layer of the skin) to break or tear.
