Kaya Skin Clinic - Sunscreen Choices for Acne Vulnerable Skin

Preventing acnes and pimples and other skin problems can be a hard task. However, if you take care to choose the right type of products that suit your skin type, you can prevent breakouts and get the maximum benefits from creams, moisturisers, sunscreens etc.

Sunscreens for Oily Skin

Oily skin is a skin type where natural skin oil called sebum is secreted at a level above normal. Acne is caused by excess sebum and dirt blocking skin pores. So, if you have oily skin, it means you are more easily vulnerable to acne breakouts, pimples, and other related problems like acne scars and will have to seek out acne treatment, pimple marks removal cream etc.

If, in addition to this, you use thick creamy formulations of moisturisers, sunscreens etc., you are aggravating the situation. These cream based products can leave an oily residue on your skin, and thus trigger acne by adding to the skin oil and increasing the chances of blocked pores.

So, skin care items for oily skin need to be picked with care. Use water-based formulations that are very lightweight and give a matte look to your face. They help remove the excess oil in your skin and do not add oil themselves.

Sunscreens are vital part of your daily use cosmetics kit. You should remember to use them daily to protect yourself against UV rays from the sun. For oily skin, choose a product that is light in texture, and even helps reduce the dullness of your skin and makes it look clean and smooth. Kaya Skin Clinic offers a range of sunscreens for daily use - sweat proof to anti-ageing and the new Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen.

A Guide To The Juvederm Dermal Filler Treatment for Wrinkles

Dermal fillers have been used for a long time to restore volume and suppleness to ageing skin. Now new fillers that use alternatives to collagen, like Hyaluronic Acid and Hydroxyapatite are becoming popular choices. Juvederm is a very new Hyaluronic filler.

Ageing and Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to smooth out wrinkles and to add volume to areas like the cheeks that have lost their fullness and elasticity due to age. There are many different types of dermal fillers and Juvederm is one of newest, recently gaining US FDA approval for use in cosmetic procedures.

One of the issues associated with aging is the loss of volume, elasticity and smoothness of our skin. This is especially obvious in the face and neck regions. Cheeks become hollow, the neck and chin regions begin to wrinkle and sag, and other problems like crow's feet and frown lines begint show up.

These happens due to the loss of fat and a protein called collagen that adds structure and volume to our skin. Over the years, our body’s own mechanisms begin to disintegrate these substances that give firmness, contours and volume to various parts of the body.

Of course, even younger people might be affected by wrinkles and fine lines. These happen due to overexposure to sun, heat, pollution and other external factors, poor dietary habits, inadequate skin care etc. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution to deal with these wrinkles, sagging skin and other issues.

Juvederm Dermal Filler

Juvederm filler is composed of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural substance that hydrates the skin and stimulates collagen synthesis in our body. The Hyaluronic Acid in Juvederm anti-ageing fillers are created through a process of biosynthesis, they are very natural and mostly don't cause any allergic reactions.

This filler, in a smooth gel form, comes in pre-packed syringes. When injected, the Juvederm filler smoothes wrinkles, fills out areas like your cheeks, and firms up the skin. Juvederm fillers come in different strengths to target different needs. You get different types of Juvederm fillers for smoothing out wrinkles, for adding volume to cheeks, making your lips appear fuller and so on.

Who Can Take This Treatment?

Anyone who has wrinkled skin, sagging chin and neck tissues and other related problems can opt for this dermal filler treatment. While smoothing wrinkles, it can also help reduce blemishes like acne marks and age spots or patchy skin. However, it is not suitable for deeply scarred or very thin skin areas.

Though Juvederm fillers are safe, pregnant or lactating women should avoid dermal filler procedures.

Preparations for Treatment

Before the treatment you may be asked to take some precautionary measures. You will be advised to avoid alcohol consumption and refrain from smoking for a few weeks before the planned treatment date. You should also stop taking Aspirin and any anti-inflammatory medicines a few days before treatment. On the day of the appointment for the Dermal Filler procedure you should avoid using any makeup on your face.

Juvederm filler treatments are minimally invasive, the fillers are injected under the surface of the skin. The procedure doesn't take very long and results can be seen instantly. Depending on the type of Juvederm filler used, the effects of the treatment can last from six months to two years.

Juvederm XC Treatment

The treatment sessions take around 15 to 30 minutes. The gel is injected in the target area and then a slight massage helps to spread the gel evenly across the region. It can fill out deep wrinkles, correct fine lines, and give your face a firmer, even-textured, youthful look. The Juvederm injections contain a small amount of an anesthetic, so you do not feel any pain during the procedure.

The Hyaluronic acid used in Juvederm fillers is safe and natural. The filler is made of cross-linked Hyaluronic acid in a gel form. Because of this, the body mechanisms take a longer time to break it down and reintegrate it into the system. So, the effects last for long.

Kaya Juvederm Filler Treatment

The comfortable, painless treatment session takes 30 minutes and gives you long lasting results. Regain your youthful looks almost instantaneously.

What are the different types of Skin Pigmentation?

Pigmentation is a common problem faced by everyone. Pigmentation can be a particularly difficult problem to treat. Pollution and an unhealthy lifestyle often contribute to it. It surfaces as uneven skin tone which can become difficult to mask. If you’re looking for a treatment option, then here are a few candidates.

The first step in treating pigmentation is to understand the kind of pigmentation that has affected your skin. Pigmentation can be classified into 3 types: epidermal, dermal and mixed. All of this can lead to unwanted skin tanning. If left untreated for long, pigmentation can lead to more permanent skin issues, including the general presence of age spots or patchy skin, and skin dullness. Understand which one you’re at a risk for, and what treatment option best suits your needs.

What is Pigmentation?

On a basic level, pigmentation exists in more than 50 forms. This may seem overwhelming, but understanding the classifications will make things clearer.

Epidermal: This is also known as superficial pigmentation. This pigmentation is on the outermost layer of the skin and comes in the form of age spots, freckles, and sun spots. These dark spots have well defined margins, and are light or medium brown in colour.

Dermal: This kind of pigmentation is known as deep pigmentation. It includes skin conditions like post-inflammatory pigmentation, nevus of ota, etc. These marks include post acne blemishes are lighter in colour without defined lines.

Mixed: When pigmentation affects both the dermal and the epidermal layers, it becomes a mixed kind of pigmentation. This is known as Melasma and affects most women who are well past their middle ages.

What treatments work best

On the basis of how severe the skin problem is, your dermatologist would recommend a variety of treatments. Here are a few treatment options depending on the extent of your pigmentation.

Epidermal Pigmentation can be reduced in intensity with timely use of topical treatments that address the main issue. They must be dermatologically made with ingredients that work with your skin and reduce the discolouration over time. This is most commonly used to treat dark circles.

Some common effective treatments for pigmentation include Kaya’s Brightening and firming under eye serum. A more intense topical therapy is the Insta Brightening Micro Mask. Each of these treatments require time and dedication, but the payoff is definitely worth it.

A healthy skin care routine should ideally also include a face cleanser and serum, which is more applicable for those who have oily or combination skin. The Brightening Beads cleanser is a safe option, as it maintains the moisture content of your skin. It cleanses skin without leaving it too dry. The Pigmentation reducing complex brighteningserum can help you maintain a youthful glow.

Dermal Pigmentation goes deeper into the skin, and is more long lasting. This kind of pigmentation calls for a different treatment. And facials and laser treatments are often more effective in this case. Kaya’s Q-Switch and Insta Clarity Laser can help you get clearer skin in just a few appointments.

As for Mixed Pigmentation, it occurs when your skin is a combination of both epidermal and dermal pigmentation. In this case, it is best that you visit one of Kaya’s expert dermatologists to help you determine the best combination of treatment.

What Kaya can offer to do away with Pigmentation?

Lasers and facial treatments are procedures that require skill, and it is best that you reach out to certified doctors using safe techniques and treatments for your skin.

Kaya Skin Clinic  has a popular laser treatment, Insta Clarity Laser/Q-switch that has garnered much buzz lately because of its efficiency. This is particularly used to treat hyperpigmentation.

Pigmentation Reduction System

This is a chemical peel specially crafted to reduce pigmentation, and it gives you results almost instantly. The formula is a gentle combination of derma peels and botanical actives that contribute to a better cell turnover and prevents excessive production of melanin, thereby maintaining an even skin tone.

Causes of Acne

Acne is caused due to excess production of sebum, caused by the hormone testosterone that is present in both female and male. Excess oil production causes acne. It is hereditary, like your facial features. So if your parents have acne, it is most likely that your skin is conditioned to get it too.

Acne mostly appears on your forehead, face, back, and shoulders as these body parts have the most oil glands. Dust, pollution, forgetting to remove your makeup, or not washing the face as frequently as possible can cause acne. Our face is our identity, then why not take good care of it?

Skin care is essential; our skin is the largest facer against infection that we can get. Keeping our skin healthy helps keep this facer strong. Products used for your skin care should be free of chemicals or scents. They should be gentle and moisturizers should be used every day.
