Skin Concerns

What are your skin concerns?

Our skin is our body’s largest organ, and is surely one of the most important as it holds everything else together. Without it we could not exist. It’s therefore imperative that we look after it, and be concerned when skin problems arise.

Select the skin concern below that you would like to learn more about.

  • Skin Pigmentation Concerns

    “Pigmentation has a complex set of causes ranging from hormonal influences to too much sun exposure to our genetic make-up which can combine to form unevenly coloured patches. The good news, however, is that discoloration and patchy pigmentation can be controlled and repaired in many cases.

    It requires a well-balanced formulation of active ingredients such as vitamin A combined with other essential nutrients like antioxidants and peptides which help to prevent the formation of melanin (pigment) which is responsible for dark marks and uneven skin tone. And most importantly a quality sunscreen that protects against UV-A and UV-B rays. Using the right formulations of very special ingredients, unique skin treatment techniques and being patient with treatment, discoloured skin can be smoothed, renewed … and repaired!” - Dr Ernst Eiselen, MBChB, FRACGP

  • Concerns For Sun Damaged Skin

    “There is no doubt that too much sunlight over lengthy periods can cause damage to skin cells. Ultraviolet light can also destroy vital cancer-suppressing genes which may eventually lead to the formation of skin cancer.

    On the other hand, it’s reassuring to know that skin can however retain all the qualities it needs to be rescued, rejuvenated and form new generations of skin cells. The gradual introduction of vitamin A and other ingredients help to restore skin cells, so they become healthy-looking and youthful again.” Remember supplement with Vitamin D at all times." - Dr Ernst Eiselen, MBChB, FRACGP

  • Sensitive Skin Concerns

    “There are many reasons why skins become inflamed and over-sensitive. Physical triggers like sunlight, cold, heat, various chemicals and pollution can all cause inflammation.

    The best way to address this common condition is to gradually increase the topical application of vitamin A and antioxidants. In the process it creates a natural barrier between skin and the causes of sensitivity. This results in the appearance of less inflammation, leaving it looking and feeling better and more comfortable.” - Dr Ernst Eiselen, MBChB, FRACGP

  • Dry Skin Concerns

    “Dry skin is a common condition caused by inherited and metabolic factors as well as environmental conditions such as heat, cold and pollution. Common moisturisers often attempt to temporarily place extra water in the skin or prevent water evaporation from the skin by applying water-repellent sealants on the skin.

    It is more effective to assist the skin in building up natural sealants as protective barriers in the skin to restrict water loss through it. The best hydration occurs not from without, but from within.

    The application of highly active vitamins A, C and E combined with other antioxidants and peptides is the most efficient means to achieve this. It in turn checks the formation of lines and the ageing process, giving skin a bloom of youthfulness and radiance.” - Dr Ernst Eiselen, MBChB, FRACGP

    Aging Skin

    “Aging of the skin is a fact of human life, but understanding the nature of how skin works helps us to slow down the visible effects of the inevitable aging process. Years of subtle yet serious vitamin A shortages can lead to the skin aging too quickly.

    Helping to slow down the effects of the aging process, preserving the importance of our vital immune functions and assisting in prevention of the possibility of skin cancer can all be helped by the regular application of optimal levels of topical vitamin A, peptides and antioxidants. Protection against excessive exposure to ultraviolet light by using the right sunscreen is also essential to maintain the appearance of firm, youthful-looking skin well into our golden years.” - Dr Ernst Eiselen, MBChB, FRACGP
