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.

I enjoy my experience at Skin Renewal Irene every time. Very professional, friendly and insightful.
I can't wait for my appointment each month! Besides their exceptional treatments, the customer care is next level and my therapist, Jess is amazing! I travel a little further to get here specifically, I just love It!
Absolutely amazing sensitivity and care. I'm very squeamish and I was treated with such respect and care. Also loved the holistic approach to looking at lifestyle and health. Will be back again and again.
Jess and the whole team here are INCREDIBLE! I have had different therapists treat me throughout my journey at Skin Renewal and they have all been so professional. The best part the way I am listened to and really heard. I feel very comfortable here and feel that this plays a huge role in the healing process.
Hellen, you are simply amazing!! Ive been with skin renewal for 7months going onto 8 and I am certainly more confident than when i first walked in for my consultation. Hellen is such a warm, friendly lady. Not only does she give me all of her time and patience during our sessions but she also gives me thee best foot massages!!! She knows exactly what my skin loves and how to make me feel like a million bucks every time I leave. Also a big thank you to Dr Nadira Bhamjee for giving me the best treatments! Keep rocking my dear Hellen!! Your love and pride in your work is most certainly evident through your touch.
Sitting on the computer more than 8 hours a day, I often end up with a sore neck/back. Regular physio/exercise helps, but sometimes it just feels like there is a day long spasm. Solution: Carboxy! Although the minute the needles hit the sore spots, you certainly feel some pain, the subsequent heat that fills the area is followed by near instant relief...and then the pain of the spasm just melts away - best thing ever for a quick fix!
I found the acne subcision treatment interesting and for the most part painless. I felt a little swollen afterwards but it wasn’t noticeable when I looked into the mirror. I felt normal in no time, I just had a little headache during the procedure which went away shortly after the treatment. The results were smoother skin. When the treatment was finished I went back to work without any problems.
Dr Lestonn has changed my life by changing my skin! I had severe post-pregnancy hormonal acne, despite healthy eating. I was told by dermatologists to take extremely strong medication if I wanted it cleared, but I knew that had terrible side effects. I had heard about Skin Renewal and decided to visit. Dr Lestonn was empathetic, and patiently explained the underlying causes of my problem and outlined the process ahead. I decided to trust the system and stick to all the supplements, skin care products and facials advised. The prices were surprisingly affordable too. Within three months I had new baby soft skin! It has given me confidence and I even feel happy wearing no makeup again. It sounded too good to be true, but there is such integrity behind the skin renewal process. Thank you, Dr Lestonn and Skin Renewal for caring and making a difference. I am in love with my new skin!
