Pharmaceutical skin therapeutics can repair and rejuvenate your skin from the comfort of your own home.
Pharmaceutical skin therapeutics refers to topical skin repair treatments you can apply yourself. Those used in our clinic are of prescription-only strength because of their scientifically-proven mechanism of action and efficacy.
Skin Doctor SA has developed its own skin repair products, based on recent peer-reviewed dermatological, therapeutic and scientific principles.
These products are designed to enhance and maintain the results achieved by our broad range of treatments, but are also very effective in their own right as agents of skin rejuvenation and repair.
Some Changes that Occur in Sun-Damaged Skin
- A thickened, rougher stratum corneum (the scaly, dry surface layer of the skin)
- A thinner, more atrophic epidermis
- Epidermal atypia (altered, damaged cells and tissues)
- Irregular dispersion of melanin throughout the epidermis (called dyschromia)
- Decreased glycosaminoglycans in the dermis (the gel between the epidermis which gives young skin its softness and fullness)
- Abnormal-appearing elastic fibres in the dermis.
- Reduced collagen fibres
