Juvenile & Early Adulthood Skin Maturation & Regulation (Ages 12–35 years)

From school-going adolescents to young working adults, factors such as hormonal changes, increased outdoor activities, as well as lack of appropriate skin care can result in physical skin impairment. The problems include oily complexions, excessive blackhead formation and acne outbreaks. In an appearance-conscious society, peer pressure to have a pleasant disposition could result in self-esteem issues.

Proper skin care education is necessary to navigate the many challenges of maintaining good skin hygiene, along with the appropriate application of creams and lotions. Treatments are sometimes necessary to control skin sebum production and reduce inflammation.

Acne Management (Ages 12–42 years)

At some time in our lives, more than 85 per cent of us are affected by acne. Acne is characterised by non-inflammatory follicular papules — otherwise known as blackheads and whiteheads — and by inflammatory or reddish papules, pustules and nodules in its more severe forms. It occurs on areas with the densest population of oil glands, such as the face, upper chest and back. In addition to physical impairment, acne can cause pain and psycho-social suffering, diminishing self-esteem and affecting social and professional life.

Simple acne ailments can be managed with medicated creams and improvement of one’s skin care regimen. Infected acne spots are best treated with antibiotics and may need to be drained surgically to prevent scar formation. Mature acne scars can be improved with LASERs or surgical intervention.

Pigmentation Control (Ages 25–55 years)

Genetic factors and ultraviolet solar radiation are the main contributing factors to pigmentation problems on Asiatic skin. These include post-inflammatory or traumatic wound stains, freckles, sunspots, and melasma or mask of pregnancy. Some pigmentation conditions recur or persist despite intervention and may worsen during pregnancy.

Active prevention is better than cure in many instances. Sunscreens are a cost-effective means to control and reduce melanin pigment formation. Most pigments can be treated with pharmaceutical creams, while several conditions are best tackled with peels, light therapy and LASER therapies.

Skin Care for Expectant & Lactating Mothers (Ages 21–45 years)

Pregnancy can affect the skin because of a surge in estrogen levels. Sebum production may increase, resulting in oily complexions and pimple outbreaks. The skin can pigment easily, existing freckles may darken, moles may enlarge, and water retention can result in puffy eye bags and bloated facial skin.

Pregnant and lactating mothers are often reluctant to treat their skin for fear of harming their babies. However, there are medicinal products and treatments considered suitable for use during pregnancy and lactation. Performed by trained professionals, many skin ailments can be alleviated.
