Psoriasis is typically known for its visible skin plaques and patches of intense red and scaly skin. It can affect all areas of the body and comes in different classifications which can sometimes be hard to diagnose initially. A dermal clinician is able to manage this highly inflammatory disorder with manual lymphatic drainage and topical treatment therapies #dermalclinicians #evidencebased #peerreviewed #psoriasis #thedermalclinic Picture retrieved from https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/1104805 (at Adelaide, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvlKVz4F_Q7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tlsxx99lsw5o

Acne, another inflammatory skin condition! So commonly seen but not thoroughly understood. Treatment needs to target all four areas that contribute to this condition like excess sebum, inflammation, p.acne bacteria & altered keratinisation. An imbalance in your treatment could give you less than desirable results. A dermal clinician is highly educated in acne to ensure you are not contributing to the problem unknowingly #dermalclinicians #evidencebased #researchpaper #acne #thedermalclinic #pubertyblues #stresshormones Picture retrieved from www.icliniq.com (at Adelaide, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfVtxhl-RB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jtlcq640oo4i

Did you know that melasma is a pigmentation disorder that is also considered to be in a state of chronic inflammation? UVR induced photo damage is a classic histological presentation cited and studies confirm a key component to managing and minimising this condition is complete sun avoidance, or at least a UVA/UVB sunscreen containing visible light filters such as iron oxide. Treatment is difficult but possible! #slipslopslap #dermalclinicians #evidencebased #melasma #thedermalclinic #researchpaper Picture retrieved from www.skinstitut.com (at Adelaide, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvd9gf-lOyF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=152fztgpb9q2r

Another fantastic spa experience in Bali. This quiet little resort in Sanur was just the place to recover from 5weeks of travelling Europe ✈️ I recommend their signature massage for true Balinese style and a hygienic tidy up pedicure before coming home👌 but have plenty of time on your hands for the pedi, as they are not the quickest! #wheninbali #Balinesespa #resortlife #spoiltmyself (at Griya Santrian Resort Bali) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtDIzlqlJ9d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ygznl8bagigk

Poor little Dumbo got some tattoo removal from me last week. I used a combination of the CO2 fractional laser followed by the Q-switched Nd:YAG and look at the fantastic results from just one treatment. 👌 My model client is very happy 😊❤️ #tattooremoval #lasers #co2laser #qswitching #dermaljourneys (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn01-R6HAWc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vicgm3w8jv0s

Looking at pigmentation under a UV woods lamp is a great way to determine its depth. Here in this pic my deep pigmentation only became visible to the naked eye after my fractionated CO2 laser treatment. This is a great pic to show what we don’t see and then what a treatment like fractional laser can do 👀 #newskin #laserresurfacing #dermaljourneys https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpEmkZnq2t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wdriybvay1bd

Clinic day for Resurfacing Procedures. Had fantastic end points of erythema from a hydrodermabrasion followed by a 15% lactic acid Peel for a Sun damaged skin. Those nutrients brought to the superficial layers of the skin with give a great kick start to a rejuvenated skin. #microdermabrasion #hydration #chemicalpeel #lacticacid #dermaljourneys #dermalclinician (at Victoria University Dermal Therapy Teaching Clinic)
