Frequently Asked Questions

How does skin age ?

There are two factors that affect the aging of the skin: extrinsic and intrinsic. Intrinsic or internal aging is biological aging that occurs with the passing of time. Extrinsic or external aging is the natural process of biological aging compiled with exterior causes such as sun exposure, air pollution, smoking, lifestyle, cosmetics and other allergens and lack of care. It is extrinsic aging that affects the appearance of the skin.

Why does our skin's ability to repair and recover diminish as we age?

The primary reason is the damage caused to cells by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that take electrons from healthy molecules. This creates a cycle of more free radicals that attack cellular membranes.

What is Acne ?

The stratum corneum is constantly shedding and being replaced by new cells. When this natural exfoliation slows down, a gradual buildup forms and retention hyperkeratosis occurs. Dead skin cells stick to the surface and begin lining the inside walls of the follicles. Sebum acts as a clogging agent by causing dead skin cells to stick together and to the walls of the follicles. The following inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions result:

MICROCOMEDONES.  Microcomedones are mixtures of dead cells, bacteria, fatty acids from excess sebum, and other cellular debris.

CLOSED COMEDO (WHITEHEAD). As the cellular debris collects, the follicle wall stretches to contain the contents of the impaction, but the follicle opening does not. 

OPEN COMEDO (BLACKHEAD). The pore is dilated by the impacted mass, allowing the debris to push toward the surface opening. Oxygen is what causes the darkening of the sebum that is exposed. 

PAPULE. A papule is a closed comedo that does not become a blackhead but instead becomes large enough to break the follicle sac.  

PUSTULE. When a papule is not dissolved by enzymes, white blood cells continue to engulf the break in the follicle wall, forming pus.  

NODULE. When the break in the follicle is near the bottom, a nodule forms. A nodule is a sore red lesion that is larger, deeper, and firmer than a papule.

CYST. When there is intense inflammation in a follicle, thousands of white blood cells invade the site and create a large, soft, pus-filled lesion resembling a boil. Any lesion larger than one centimeter is considered a cyst.

What is Hyper-pigmentation and it's treatments ?

Hyper-pigmentation is a condition that can happen to all skin types, from dry to oily. It is excessive stimulation of melanin in the skin that results in an uneven, darkened skin tone. Excessive production of melanin can be brought on by systemic and extrinsic causes. And even in systemic situations, it can be made worse by extrinsic causes. Skins that have more pigment seem to be more prone to hyper-pigmentation, but with the introduction of chemicals, medications, and overexposure to sun, anyone can be susceptible. Hyper-pigmentation is normally treated with melanin suppressants such as hydroquinone, natural plant-based lighteners, and AHAs. It can also be treated with microdermabrasion and other peeling methods. Treatment results vary greatly depending on whether discoloration is at a cellular or superficial level. Through a series of treatments there can be significant change and correction. Sometimes, if total evenness of color has not been achieved, topical camouflages may be used.

How do Antioxidants affect the skin ?

The use of Antioxidants that will actually absorb into the tissue and support healthy cell development is valuable in counteracting free radical damage. Antioxidants are an answer to a healthier skin but a key consideration as to the effects of a topical antioxidant is its ability to penetrate. Important antioxidant ingredients are superoxide dismutase, plant derived antioxidants, resveratrol (wine extracts), grape seed extracts, D-alpha tocopherol, L-ascorbic acid, and beta carotene.
