Conditions such as low stomach acid, dysbiosis, and leaky gut not only compromise the skin but may also lead to future health problems, including autoimmune diseases, food sensitivities, allergies, asthma, depression, and even cancer. Low stomach acid can result in deficiencies of essential minerals and vitamins like zinc, which are essential for healthy skin.
Treating eczema and dermatitis requires more than just topical solutions. Treatments will achieve long-term success by addressing the internal causes and issues. At Skin Renewal, we offer a comprehensive approach to tackle these conditions from the inside out.
IV Infusions: Boost essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream.
Ozone Therapy: Enhance oxygen utilisation in the body.
Biopuncture: Natural medicine injections to stimulate healing.
Laser Genesis®: Healing laser treatment to rejuvenate the skin.
PDT (Photo Dynamic Therapy): This is a light therapy that promotes natural healing. It can be combined with calming ingredients.
Carboxytherapy: Improves skin elasticity and reduces inflammation.
Low stomach acid and an unhealthy gut microbiome hinder the absorption of essential nutrients, leading to various skin issues. Even with a nutrient-dense diet, poor nutrient assimilation due to low stomach acid can result in sub-clinical and overt deficiencies.
Low stomach acid affects the absorption of minerals like zinc, magnesium, calcium, iron, and folate, all vital for healthy skin. It also prevents dysbiosis, supports a healthy immune system, and helps avoid leaky gut syndrome.
At Skin Renewal, our doctor-led approach ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to the unique needs of every patient. During your initial consultation, our qualified doctors will review your history to identify any underlying gut and medical conditions contributing to your dermatitis.
You will undergo a complimentary Betaine HCl acid test to check for low stomach acid if advised. Adequate stomach acid is essential for the absorption of key nutrients and the overall health of your immune system.
Absorption of B Vitamins: Necessary for energy production and overall health.
Activation of Protein-Digesting Enzymes: Essential for proper protein digestion.
Optimal Fat Digestion: Ensures benefits from anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats.
Pathogen Destruction: Adequate stomach acid destroys harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites, preventing dysbiosis.
Normal stomach function is the first critical step to healthy skin and a robust immune system. Ensuring adequate stomach acid levels prevents compromised digestion and absorption, supporting overall skin health.
At Skin Renewal, our doctors will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure optimal treatment for your skin condition. We help you achieve long-lasting results and healthy, radiant skin by addressing internal and external factors.

I was an eczema sufferer for 21 years and consulted with numerous doctors and dermatologists, the prescribed treatment being cortisone and cyclosporine. I visited Dr Maureen for beauty advice and after discussions about my health, skin conditions, etc, she asked if I was prepared to try some natural remedies to treat my eczema over the years always tried out what people recommended- anything to be done with the curse.I begrudgingly stopped the cortisone meds and was waiting for the inevitable dry, itchiness to return. Doc treated me with various supplements as well as eating sauerkraut. Within a month, I was ECZEMA FREE!I wish doc had come into my life earlier, not only have I done so much damage to my body, but to now know that i'm healthy from the inside out, is amazing. I still have bouts of eczema and continue with natural remedies as above. Skin Renewal and Doctor Maureen Allem have changed my world and I'll be forever indebted. I look at people that have aging skin, dry flaky patches or are itching from eczema and my advice is- see a functional doctor at Health Renewal, this will sort you out. If anyone ever has any questions, I would be happy for you to contact Health Renewal and let them put you in touch with me.
