INFLAMMATION

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury, infection, or irritation and can be triggered by various factors including irritants, allergens, autoimmune conditions, and inflammatory skin conditions. When inflammation affects the skin, it can result in a range of symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort.

Eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and a damaged skin barrier are common types of skin inflammation. Eczema presents as dry, itchy patches on the skin, often accompanied by inflammation and a compromised skin barrier. Psoriasis causes thickened, scaly patches due to the rapid turnover of skin cells. Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with irritants or allergens, leading to redness, itching, and inflammation. Damaged skin barrier inflammation results from a weakened protective layer, causing heightened sensitivity and dryness.

Medical-grade skincare products offer effective solutions for managing skin inflammation. These products are formulated with soothing ingredients such as ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, which help to calm inflamed skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and promote healing. Consistent use of medical-grade skincare can provide long-term relief and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.

Gentle chemical peels are another option for addressing skin inflammation. These peels use mild acids to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting cell turnover. By eliminating surface impurities and stimulating skin renewal, gentle chemical peels can help to reduce inflammation, improve skin texture, and enhance overall complexion.
