Diagnostically, a Skin Renewal medical doctor can help and work with you to calm the source of the problem. In other words, your pimples are skin signals telling you something is off-balance in your body. The deeper you dive into what’s happening holistically, the better you can manage your acne.
Acne is essentially when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. You see blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts showing up on your face and chest, and often, for men, the back and shoulder areas. Remember, your genetics, diet, and the environment, like pollution, influence acne. Even your lifestyle choices (smoking, incorrect skincare and hydration levels) can impact the issue.
Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. Several factors contribute to this process.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects multiple systems in the body—and the skin is no exception. Acne is a common symptom of PCOS due to the complex interplay of hormones, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Here’s how PCOS can trigger or worsen breakouts:
Acne treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Melanin-rich skins may tackle PIH and dark marks after the breakout (the skin injury). So treatment should be done for your specific needs and to heal the acne and what it’s left behind. Think of it as an overall approach. So, while a superficial chemical peel (like an Azelaic Peel) helps exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores, those with actual scarring and needing collagen stimulation may need the support of laser treatment.

MoreI've had an awesome experience, my skin is looking and feeling 100% better. I walked in feeling a bit unsure of what to expect, but when I leaft with confidence levels boosted, I know that my skin is going to look amazing. Thank you to Marzet at Skin Renewal Constantia.
MoreI had a great experience during my consultation with Dr Burt Jooste, he has a great bedside manner and a great ability to make a person feel great through the way he interacts. I felt very @ home if I can put it that way not having to sit and share my health concerns with a doctor who sits on the other side of his desk without any sign of interest shown. Very holistic Experience. He is a "go-getter" who works smart and not hard.
MoreThe staff at the Irene branch are fantastic. I am always welcomed with a smile and thus a very comfortable and processional atmosphere is created. My therapist Landa, is very knowledgeable and explains procedures and post care with patience and concern. She is very friendly and I enjoy spending time in her company. I would highly recommend her as my preferred therapist.
