24.01.2022 NATURAL WAYS TO REDUCE MILD ACNE By Dr Davin Lim First of all not all forms of acne will respond to natural treatments. Hormonal acne, jawline acne and cystic... acne will usually need medical therapy. If you suffer from the occasional outbreak, here are my simple tips (proven scientifically) to help reduce mild acne- 1. Diet, Diet, Diet It is well known that high sugar foods including chocolate can worsen acne. My hint- if you are a chocoholic like me- dark chocolate is the best substitute. Eat less simple sugars, and more protein. Avoid dairy products, too much milk can induce acne- proven in many scientific papers. 2. Supplement your diet with zinc. Zinc Sulfate can be obtained in many health food stores. Take twice a day. Vitamin A supplements can also help mild acne. 3. De-stress - easier said than done. Stress DOES make acne worse, and can induce picking, a condition known as acne excoriae. 4. Get some sun light in moderation. Notice how your acne improves after a beach holiday? This is because UV light can destroy bacteria namely blue and red light. You can also obtain this via our acne phototherapy program- ideally suited for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 5. Fruit acids or AHAs are an excellent natural method of removing clogged pores, blackhead and white heads. AHA peels can be done at home, however if you really want to shift stubborn acne, our clinical strength AHA regime conduced at Westside Dermatology will do the job. Peels start at only $98. Visit the www.acnespecialists.com.au website for more details.Natural remedies may not work for everyone, especially women with hormonal acne. My suggestion- if you have mild acne, give natural remedies a try. I know my acne flares with diet and a simple change can make all the difference.

21.01.2022 Treating Acne Cysts Dr Davin Lim; Laser Dermatologist Acne cysts lie deep in the skin. We devised a way to remove them without squeezing. Laser treats every visible cyst, and because we use numbing cream, treatment is painless. Best of all, it works! When I made this video I didnt expect nearly 700,000 You Tube views.

20.01.2022 Dr Manoharan enjoys working with darker skin types which are always a challenge to treat due to a requirement for more conservative treatment settings, as well as higher risk of complications such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Treatments CAN be done, and in this case, the patient has been treated over a 2 year period with a combination of TCA CROSS, Erbium:YAG/CO2 laser, Radiofrequency treatments and dermal fillers. This is a full-house of acne scar treatments, with successful results in a a challenging skin-type!

20.01.2022 Dr Manoharan treated this 24 year-old with papular acne with inflammatory scarring with isotretinoin, and with combination Erbium:YAG and CO2 lasers; completed with pulsed-dye laser to reduce redness.

18.01.2022 5 LIFESTYLE TIPS TO REDUCE ACNE BREAK-OUTS by Dr Davin Lim Acne breaks-outs are common. The percentage of adult onset acne is steadily rising and our hectic... lifestyles and diets can play a role in this condition. Here are a few of my tips to reduce your break-outs. 1.Watch what you eat- this probably the number one cause of break outs In my experience. Some people break out when blood sugars rise too quickly- this means high sugar foods, and simple carbs can be the culprit. Other people break out with high lactose dairy products. The link between acne and diet is a proven one! Our diet guide is on: http://www.acnespecialists.com.au/treating-ac/diet-and-acne 2.Get some natural sunlight. The key is IN MODERATION! Light can activate chemicals in the oil gland, destroying p.acnes, the bacteria implicated in acne. This is how red and blue light therapy functions to decrease bacterial counts. 3. De-stress- stress can lead to break outs, but most importantly stress can lead to the habit of picking. This in turn can cause scarring and also make acne look like it is a lot worse. Yoga, meditation, medication and exercise can all help you de-stress. 4.Drink lots of water. There is no conclusive research on this last tip, however investigators in the US have noted that drinking more than 2 litres per day significantly increased blood flow though out the skin, and in theory should flush toxins out more readily. This can lead to an improvement in your skin. 5. Use the right make up - Letting your skin breathe can be of significant benefit in some patients. Remember to use a mineral and not an oil-based foundation, additionally go make up free for at least 2 days a week. Unclogging your pores can do wonders for your skin.

18.01.2022 Solutions for pore size reduction By Dr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologist One of the most frequently asked questions is can I help reduce my pore size? Pore size is genetically determined, much like the colour of your eyes, however, unlike eye colour, pores can be permanently decreased with laser treatment. I use 3 methods to decrease pore sizes- 1. A treatment I pioneered called high density Fraxel- best for small to medium pores 2. TCA CROSS best for very lar...ge but solitary pores 3. Ablative Erbium laser- best for lots of medium to large pores Yes, contrary to belief, you can change the size of pores- permanently.

04.01.2022 Smashing Scars-Part 1 By Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist

03.01.2022 TREATMENT IN FOCUS - 5 FACT ON LASERS FOR ACNE SCARS By Dr Davin Lim Cosmetic and Laser Dermatologist I often get asked- what is the best laser for acne scarr...ing? We have over 12 devices we use for acne scars, including eMatrix RadioFrequency, thru to all the fractional lasers as well as fully ablative CO2 and erbium systems. The most well branded laser is that of Fraxel. So what is Fraxel and what is the BEST laser for acne scars? 1. Fraxel is a brand of laser that uses specific wavelengths of light. It is a form of fractional laser. Fraxel comes in different wavelengths, each designed for a particular application. 1550 is most commonly used for acne scars. 2. Regarless of the brand, fractional lasers treat only fractions of skin, leaving gaps in between laser beams. This helps skin heal up quicker and increases the safety of the laser- especially in darker skin types. 3. Acne scars should always be treated according to the acne scar type and the skin type of the patient. Different lasers and devices will have their advantages for specific scars. 4. Early scars are best treated with eMatrix fractional RadioFrequency. 5. Old scars can be treated with Fraxel 1550, or Erbium Fractional lasers in darker or ethnic skin types. For severe scarring, in lighter skin types the CO2 laser in either fully ablative or fractional mode is the BEST laser.
