As someone who knows all too well what it’s like to hit your late twenties and BAM! you’ve got chronic acne now for no apparent reason, it’s exciting to see that researchers and dermatologists are upping their game to help us all feel a little more comfortable in our skin.

On the cutting edge of treatments is Skin Renewal, who shared that the top condition they assist clients with is acne.

According to dermatologist Dr. Robin Schaffran, “Acne is an issue where the skin and pores are not functioning properly.” Which may seem simple enough, until you realise that there are a whole host of reasons why this may be the case.

Genetics, hormone imbalances, contact with irritant products, physical and mental health, as well as diet and bacterial infections can all contribute to someone struggling with acne’s skin journey.

Professionals Who Care Equals Peace Of Mind

It’s challenging to come to terms with something like adult acne, I can assure you from personal experience. That’s why to connect with professionals that have both medical expertise and care-centered techniques can finally make you feel like you’re understood.

Skin Renewal provides the reassurance that not all skin journeys are the same and would never klap you with a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. The cutting-edge skin clinic explains:

Acne can range in severity from mild, to moderate, to severe. Each grade or level requires slightly different intervention and for this reason, a medical consultation is the best route in order to get the most effective, comprehensive plan, tailor-made for each individual patient.

So not only do you meet with a medical professional to assist in the initial diagnoses, but you’ll have a whole team of skincare professionals to provide support surrounding their advanced treatment programme options.

More and more adults who are going on skin journeys with their own acne are joining the conversation like the above influencer. That’s why it’s more important than ever to find treatment options that can fit YOU, and not the other way ’round.

Understanding Your Skin And Preventing Damage

A super-cool thing about Skin Renewal is that they will also be there for your ongoing skin journey, helping you shift from a mindset of treating ‘impurities’ to one that looks at how you can look after your skin in holistic, long-term ways.

After seeing many a doctor who simply wasn’t interested in important things such as which products I was using, diet, and monthly hormonal changes, Skin Renewal’s approach is a breath of fresh air. The service is clear on where their values lie when it comes to helping acne sufferers:

The importance of early management of any skin condition cannot be overstated. Once certain conditions set in and damage occurs, complete recovery may be difficult to attain. The best results for prevention and longevity is early detection of a possible problem combined with excellent, effective treatments, nutritional supplements and a healthy diet and lifestyle.

A New Era Of Skincare That Takes Stigma Seriously

It’s hard not to be sheepish when being open about acne, especially when old-school approaches to skincare come off as judgy and narrow-minded. That’s why it’s so exciting to see how transparency can shift our conversations about treatments from negative self-criticism to an ethics of care.

It was a big deal for me to see Skin Renewal feature their most dealt-with conditions right at the top of their website for all to see.

With acne at the top, the clinic also deals with eye bags, hormonal pigmentation/melasma and wrinkles; all relatable and important things that ordinary South Africans are dealing with.
