Skin Conditions

Sometimes we forget that our skin is an organ.  In fact it's the largest organ in the body.  It does so many important jobs as well as providing our internal organs with a barrier to the outside world.  It helps regulate our temperature, produces Vitamin D, enables us to 'feel' and has a huge part to play in our immune response. 

At MEDfacials we want your skin to be the best it can be.  We can help you with products and treatments which will help with skin ailments.  We also like to educate so that you can help your skin from within, by eating great foods, staying safe in the sun and drinking plenty of water.

Acne

Acne is caused by dysfunction of the hair follicle and its accompanying sebaceous gland. The sebaceous gland produces sebum (the skins natural moisturizer), Acne begins to develop when keratin (found in hair, nails and the outermost layer of skin) over-accumulates and blocks the hair follicle (hyperkeratinization) obstructing the flow of sebum.

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common condition, that we see here in our Aesthetic clinic here in Cornwall, which darkening of the skin occurs due to an increase in melanin production. This darkening occurs when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) over-produce melanin, forming concentrated deposits of brown pigment in the skin.

Wrinkles

As we get older, our skin looses collagen and therefore elasticity.  Wrinkles and fine lines are an inevitable consequence of the ageing process.

Sun Damage and Smoking can also prematurely age the skin.

At MEDfacials we have a number of treatments and products which will help you hold back time.
