Skin Conditions

At SKN Clinic we follow a holistic approach when healing acne. We use both topical treatments, along with skincare and supplements to treat acne at the root achieving longterm results.

Acne is not simply a bacterial problem, but is related to digestion and your body’s detox process. Every location on the face and body identify a zone that connects to specific environmental toxins and/or organs. Treating the toxins within while supporting the skin topically with products and treatment eliminates the acne.

We offer treatments for both pigmented and indented acne scarring at SKN Clinic.

An increasing number of people are developing rosacea and the current treatment methods provided by allopathic medicine is both temporary and ineffective. The Field of Holistic Medicine has found a strong relationship between rosacea and digestive conditions. This updated and elevated approach to treating rosacea provides a safer, more longterm solution. We believe that Rosacea treatment must encompass both an internal and topical approach for true healing.

The root of Melasma is happening internally which makes it imperative to be treating it not only topically with products and treatments but to be addressing the health of the liver with supplements. Our approach is working to treat it at the root and more longterm.

The first step to a successful treatment plan begins with home care products that include both a topical/s and a supplement. We will then create a treatment plan to support the lightening and healing of the skin along with an assessment of lifestyle factors that could be contributing to the Melasma.

Hyperpigmentation can present on face and body and fall into the category of sun spot, age spot, liver spot, Melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In this section we are focusing on sun spots, liver spots, and age spots.

Hyperpigmentation is a protective response by the skin designed to cover an area of inflammation beneath it. The most common form is sun damage or age spots. These occur anywhere on the body where excessive and repeated sun exposure has occurred. They are the result or chronic wounds along the dermal-epidermal junction.

As we age the production of collagen and elastin slows down. Skin becomes looser, less firm and wrinkles appear. This is a combination of muscle loss, sometimes fat loss and sun damage to collagen and elastin. Other factors like pollution, stress, diet, exercise, gravity and sun exposure can also have an effect on your skin’s elasticity.

In the treatment of sagging skin, and skin laxity you need to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin as well as fat cells.

As we move through life we notice the appearance of fine lines and eventually wrinkles. This is due to expression, and loss of collagen and elastin. Natural aging process, lifestyle choices and other factors will contribute to rate at which this occurs.

First and foremost it is what we do everyday at home that is of the utmost importance when it comes to healthy, youthful skin. Just as we choose healthy foods each day to nurture our body we must do the same with skincare products we apply. We are of course limited to what we can do at home which is where treatments come in.

We will select a treatment plan to address, soften and reduce the fine lines, and wrinkles focusing on collagen and elastin formation and healthy cellular function. We will work on lymph flow, removal of accumulated cellular waste, blood and oxygen circulation and elevating health of your tissues. It truly is a skin journey back to a healthy, high functioning state of being.

Over time the texture of our skin can changes as we move through life and naturally age. Our approach is to elevate the health and function of your skin smoothing your tone and texture.

We will select a treatment plan to not only work on skin texture, but also on collagen, elastin and firming and toning. We will work on lymph flow, removal of accumulated cellular waste, blood and oxygen circulation and elevating health of your tissues. It truly is a skin journey back to a healthy, high functioning state of being.

Having large pores is one of the most common skin complaints we hear. While we can’t shrink pores, we can firm and tighten the skin and the structures surrounding the pore.

It is also important to be using a skincare program that focuses on the maintenance and formation of collagen and elastin which is essential to firmer, more youthful looking skin.

Body firming and toning treatments are an effective treatment option for those dealing with stubborn fat in specific areas on the body when used in conjunction with exercise and healthy nutritional choices.
