Understanding rosacea and the power of our Excel V+ Laser.

Rosacea is a multifactorial condition influenced by genetic makeup, UV radiation, and the skin-dwelling mite Demodex folliculorum. Triggers for rosacea flares include alcohol, hot drinks like coffee and tea, spicy foods, sunlight, heat, anxiety, embarrassment, and emotional stress. These factors often lead to redness, flushing, and pimples, which can be difficult to conceal.

At Southern Dermatology, we offer our advanced Excel V+ Laser, which effectively targets and eliminates rosacea without abrading the surrounding skin surface.

Treat acne scarring with subcision!⁠
⁠
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure that the Southern Dermatology team can perform in-office to help improve the appearance of acne scars. ⁠
⁠
This procedure involves inserting a small needle into the skin to "release" acne scar from underlying tissue. This allows your skin to regain its volume, leading to a less visible acne scar!⁠
⁠
What's the journey like? ⁠
⁠
After cleaning the skin, we will apply a numbing agent before injecting the needle to release the tissue.⁠
⁠
Post-treatment, you may experience bruising in the treated area. Our team will walk you through your aftercare routine to ensure you take all necessary steps to support an effective healing process.⁠
⁠
Some treatments that we often combine with submission include:⁠
- A TCA (Trichloroacetic acid) treatment, a chemical peel that exfoliates and removes dead skin.⁠
- Bio-remodelling injections/filler⁠
⁠

Pregnancy comes with many changes…⁠
⁠
… And your skincare routine is just one of the things you’ll need to adjust to ensure you’re doing everything possible to keep you and your growing baby healthy over the next nine months! ⁠
⁠
Check out which skincare treatments + products are for you during pregnancy 👇🏼⁠
⁠
- Chemical Peels: Many of the changes your skin will experience during pregnancy result from hormones. In addition to being more sensitive, your skin may break out, become drier or appear dull. To combat this, regular chemical peels can help calm inflammation, exfoliate dead skin build-up and stimulate your skin to regulate its functions and achieve that pregnancy glow! ⁠
⁠
- LED Treatments: Is a great add-on to chemical peels to help calm skin inflammation, increase ATP production (energy production in skin cells) and help to rejuvenate the skin. The treatment is also very calming, so you may even find yourself enjoying a 20-minute nap under the warmth of the LED light. ⁠
⁠
- Laser Genesis: is totally safe during pregnancy and excellent for breakouts which can often arise as hormones change. This gentle yet effective treatment helps to regulate oil flow, stimulate collagen and elastin production as well as minimise pore size.⁠
⁠
- Retinol (Vitamin A): Retinol/vitamin A is a no-no during pregnancy! While dietary sources of vitamin A found in foods like fruits and vegetables are generally safe, it's the concentrated forms often found in skin care products and supplements that can pose a concern. To be on the safe side, many healthcare professionals advise pregnant individuals to avoid using skincare products containing retinoids and retinol.⁠
⁠
- Use LOTS of SPF to protect your skin against sun damage! ⁠

"Skin oils are all you need to remedy dry skin!"⁠
⁠
We're going to stop you right there: See, dry and dehydrated skin needs MORE than oil or petroleum jelly-based products to look + feel hydrated! ⁠
⁠
Dry skin lacks natural oils/lipids, while dehydrated skin lacks water (during the colder weather, many skin types suffer trans-epidermal water loss due to heating and low humidity!), but despite these critical differences, these two common occurrences go hand-in-hand.⁠
⁠
So how can you address naturally dry skin that's also dehydrated thanks to winter weather? ⁠
⁠
You need to LAYER your PRODUCTS!⁠
⁠
1. Start with your serum: Apply hyaluronic acid before everything else! The best HA serums have a low molecular weight, meaning they can pe*****te deeper into the skin.⁠
⁠
2. Moisturise: Apply a lipid-rich moisturiser to nourish the skin and lock in that hydration.⁠
⁠
3. Choose your oil: Apply face oil or petroleum jelly: this layer will act as a protective barrier.⁠
⁠
4. The grand finale: Lock everything in with a layer of SPF50+⁠
