During my first visit at Skin Philosophie Medical Aesthetic and Lifestyle Solution, I was treated with a facial and a consultation with their Aesthetic Dermatologist, Dra. Kyla Talens. During my session, we were able to discuss further about my skin history, my Polycistic Ovaries (known by many as hormonal imbalance), my crazy menstrual cycle, my skin regime, and the medications and processes that I've went through. What I love about the consultation was that Dra. Talens made sure that I am educated with my condition. Although some of the terms might come in too technical, she made it a point that you understand what you are going through and what will the treatments do to your condition. I've listed down the 5 main points that I've learned during my visit, and hopefully, you guys would also be enlightened when it comes to taking care of your skin.
1. Sometimes, topical medicine just won't cut it.
Creams and cleansers would help you get over your breakouts, but if you have acne, you might actually need something more than that. For severe cases, it is usually recommended to take supplementary oral medication as well. Don't forget to consult with your dermatologist before buying anything, though.
2. Acne treatments take time.
Treating acne is not a one time thing. Acne does not disappear overnight. Just because you had one session done doesn't mean that it's gone forever. It usually takes 6 months or more before you see major improvements on your skin. Sure, they may subside after a couple of facials, but getting rid of them entirely takes dedication and continuous maintenance.
3. Always use a sunblock.
Dear girls: Sunblocks are not only for the beach. I knew a lot of girls who always say "pass" to sunblock. If you don't want to look like 50 when you're 30, then I suggest that you take time putting sunscreen in the morning. UV rays are harmful to our skin, and it is literally everywhere -- even when we are indoors. So do yourself a favor and protect yourself. Bonus tip: Use an umbrella whenever you go out.
4. Expensive doesn't mean expected results.
What I love about Dra. Kyla is the fact that she does not promote branded and overly expensive medications and creams if she knows that there is an affordable alternative. Just like the clinic, Dra. Kyla believes that luxury doesn't always have to be overpriced, and that the possibilities of enjoying the same benefits as of those that costs a limb is actually possible.
5. Consistency is the key.
As I've mentioned, these types of treatment takes time, and for it to work, you must be consistent with everything. Putting in a bunch of sunblock for one day and forgetting about the application for the next couple of days would bring you zero results. I must admit I have issues with being consistent, but I'm trying to resolve it as much as I can. And rest assured, if I can get over my issues, you can too.
