29/10/2025

Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) is a common skin condition that appears as red or pink marks left behind after inflammation or injury to the skin — often following acne, eczema, or trauma. Unlike post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which is brown or dark due to excess melanin, PIE is caused by dilated or damaged blood vessels just beneath the skin’s surface.

---

🔍 Causes

PIE typically develops after:

Acne lesions (especially picked or inflamed pimples)

Chemical peels or laser treatments

Eczema or dermatitis flare-ups

Physical irritation or trauma

Inflammation damages small capillaries in the skin, leading to lingering redness even after the lesion heals.

---

⚕️ How to Tell It’s PIE

Feature PIE PIH Acne Scar (Indented)

Color Red, pink, or purple Brown, tan, or gray Skin-colored or shadowed
Cause Damaged capillaries Excess melanin Collagen loss
Response to light pressure Fades temporarily (blanching) Doesn’t change No change

💆‍♀️ Treatment Options
Professional Treatments

If topical care isn’t enough, dermatologists may recommend:

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) or V-beam laser – targets red blood vessels directly.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) – improves redness and overall tone.

Seborrheic keratosis is a harmless overgrowth of skin cells (keratinocytes).
They’re often described as:

> “Stuck-on,” waxy, or wart-like growths.

They are not contagious and not skin cancer, though they can sometimes mimic it.

---

🔹 2. Appearance (especially on the nose/face)

Feature Description

Color Light tan → brown → dark brown → almost black
Texture Waxy, rough, or scaly; often feels slightly raised
Shape Round or oval, well-defined edges
Size A few millimeters to >1 cm
Location Common on face, nose, temples, cheeks, chest, and back

On the nose, SKs may appear as small, flat brown spots early on, then become thicker, waxy, or crumbly over time.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
---

🔹 2 How It Works

Although not fully understood, several mechanisms are supported by research:

💡 Increases energy (ATP) in follicle cells, improving function and growth.

💓 Improves blood flow to follicles, providing more oxygen and nutrients.

🧬 Prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.

🧫 Reduces inflammation around follicles (important in conditions like androgenetic alopecia).

🧠 Upregulates growth factors that promote follicle proliferation.

Essentially, it helps “wake up” weakened follicles and keep them in the growth phase longer.

The treatment time for hormonal acne depends on what therapy is used and how your skin responds — but it generally takes at least 2–3 months to see significant improvement.

Here’s a breakdown by treatment type 👇

---

🔹 1. Hormonal management

How long it takes:

Initial improvement: 2–3 months

Maximum effect: 4–6 months

Why: Hormonal balance takes time — OCPs lower androgen levels and decrease sebum production gradually.

---

🔹 2. Anti androgens

How long it takes:

Noticeable improvement: ~3 months

Full results: 4–6 months

---

🔹 3. Topical Treatments

How long it takes:

Initial improvement: 6–8 weeks

Best results: 3–6 months

They help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and complement hormonal therapy.

---

🔹 4. Lifestyle & Skin-Care Changes

Use non-comedogenic skincare and makeup

Limit high-glycemic foods (sugary or processed)

Manage stress, which can raise cortisol and worsen acne

These changes support but don’t replace medical therapy.

Itchy contact dermatitis is a type of skin inflammation that happens when your skin comes into contact with something that irritates it or triggers an allergic reaction.
Let’s break it down simply 👇

---

🔹 What It Is

Contact dermatitis = “dermatitis” (skin inflammation) caused by contact with a substance.
It’s usually red, itchy, sometimes blistered, and appears only where the skin touched the trigger.

There are two main types:

1. Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD)

Caused by direct damage to the skin barrier.

Common triggers: soaps, detergents, acids, hand sanitizers, cleaning products.

Most common type.

The itch may come with burning or stinging.

2. Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD)

Caused by an immune (allergic) reaction — your immune system overreacts to a specific substance.

Common allergens: nickel (jewelry, belts), fragrances, preservatives, latex, hair dye, plants (poison ivy).

Usually delayed — rash appears hours to days after exposure.

---

🔹 Symptoms

Intense itching (main complaint)

Redness and swelling

Small blisters or vesicles that may ooze or crust

Dry, scaly, or cracked skin if chronic

Rash appears only on exposed areas (e.g., under a watch, where gloves touch, around earrings)

---

🔹 Common Locations

Hands (from soaps, cleaning agents, gloves)

Face and neck (cosmetics, fragrances)

Eyelids (makeup, nail polish)

Wrist or earlobes (nickel jewelry)

Legs (plants, topical creams)

A HydraFacial is a popular, non-invasive skincare treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one session. It’s suitable for most skin types and delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Here are the main benefits of a HydraFacial:

---

🌿 1. Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation

Removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the surface.

Unclogs pores and prepares the skin for better absorption of active ingredients.

---

💧 2. Intense Hydration

Uses serums rich in hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants.

Replenishes moisture, leaving the skin plump, smooth, and dewy.

---

🌟 3. Improves Skin Tone and Texture

Reduces dullness and uneven skin tone.

Smooths fine lines and rough patches.

---

🧖‍♀️ 4. Minimizes Pores and Blackheads

The gentle vacuum suction helps remove impurities and debris.

Pores appear smaller and cleaner over time.

---

🧬 5. Boosts Collagen and Elasticity

The exfoliation and infusion process stimulates cell turnover.

Regular treatments can improve firmness and reduce fine lines.

---

🔆 6. Instant, Noticeable Results

Many people notice a “glow” immediately after the treatment.

Ideal before events or special occasions for refreshed, radiant skin.

---

⚖️ 7. Suitable for All Skin Types

Works for sensitive, oily, dry, or combination skin.

The treatment can be customized with targeted serums (e.g., for acne, pigmentation, or aging).

---

⏱️ 8. No Downtime

Non-irritating and gentle — you can return to normal activities right after.

A HydraFacial is a multi-step facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using a patented device. It addresses skin concerns like uneven tone, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne by combining a mechanized wand for deep cleaning and extraction with the infusion of customized serums. The process typically involves three core steps: a cleanse and peel, an extract and hydrate step, and an infuse and protect step.
How it works
Cleanse and Peel: The treatment begins with exfoliating the skin, often using a wand that both cleanses and peels to remove dead skin cells.
Extract and Hydrate: A vacuum-based tip is used to gently extract impurities, blackheads, and debris from pores while simultaneously delivering moisturizers and hydrating serums.
Infuse and Protect: Customized serums are infused into the skin to address specific concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, or signs of aging. The process can also include other technologies like ultrasound or LED light therapy.
Benefits
Improves skin hydration, radiance, and texture.
Can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging.
Targets concerns like clogged pores, acne, and oily skin.
Helps to even out skin tone and improve sun damage.
Results can be immediate, with benefits often lasting for several weeks.

Hormonal acne is often driven by fluctuations or imbalances in hormones such as androgens (e.g., testosterone), which increase sebum (oil) production and clog pores. Medical treatment targets these hormonal influences as well as the bacteria and inflammation involved.

Here’s a breakdown of medical treatments commonly used for hormonal acne:
L

🩺 1. Hormonal Therapies (for women)

Mechanism: Suppress ovarian androgen production and increase sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG), lowering free testosterone.

When used: For moderate to severe acne, especially with menstrual flares or signs of androgen excess (e.g., jawline acne, hirsutism).

Note: Not suitable for smokers >35 years or those with clotting disorders.

06/10/2025

Warts on the face and neck are typically benign skin growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). While not dangerous, they can be cosmetically concerning and occasionally spread or become irritated.

Here’s a complete guide:---

🧬 What Causes Warts on the Face and Neck?

Caused by HPV, especially types 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 27, and 41

Spread through skin-to-skin contact, sharing towels, razors, or touching a wart then another part of your face

More common in people with:

Weakened immunity

Skin trauma (shaving, scratching, picking)

Oily skin or sweating

Children or teens, but adults can get them too

---

🔍 Types of Warts Found on the Face & Neck

Type Description Common Locations

Flat warts (Verruca plana) Small, smooth, slightly raised, flesh or brown-colored; may appear in clusters Forehead, cheeks, chin, neck, back of hands
Filiform warts Long, thin, thread-like projections; grow rapidly Eyelids, lips, neck, under chin
Common warts (Verruca vulgaris) Rough, raised, cauliflower-like Less common on face, more on hands but may appear
Seborrheic keratosis (not HPV) Waxy, "stuck-on" spots, brown or black Often mistaken for warts, especially in older adults

🚫 Are Facial Warts Dangerous?

Not cancerous

But can spread, especially through shaving or scratching

May cause cosmetic distress

Can get irritated from friction, heat, or skincare products

---

🎯 Treatment Options for Facial & Neck Warts

💡 Important: Because facial skin is thin and sensitive, not all wart treatments used on the hands/feet are safe for the face. Avoid over-the-counter strong acids unless labeled safe for facial use.

🏥 In-Clinic Medical Treatments (most effective):

Laser removal (e.g. CO2 laser) Vaporizes wart tissue Minimal bleeding; precise; good for flat or filiform warts
Radiofrequency ablation Uses radio waves to destroy wart tissue Controlled and safe for face.
