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.
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.

Once again, Dr. Tarryn prescribed another amazing treatment, which Monique performed with care. My skin is looking and feeling amazing; thank you so much.
I went to Skin Renewal Willowbridge 5 months ago, seeking a holistic approach to helping with my hormonal and stress-induced acne and scarring. After my first consultation with the doctor, I received a detailed treatment plan. After 5 monthly treatments, I am very happy to see positive results as my breakouts have reduced to about 20%, and I see great improvements in my scarring and skin texture.I look forward to further treatments and know my skin will only get better with time. I am very grateful to my amazing therapist, Dasha, for her quality service. She knows exactly what my skin needs and would recommend her and skin renewal to anyone suffering from any skin condition.
I am just very thankful to have found Skin Renewal Fourways! I haven’t been to the other branches, so I’m going to talk about the Fourways branch. I was nervous at first because I had never done skin treatments at a facility before… but wow, am I glad I have started. I got to know about Skin Renewal from my GP, so that says a lot! I’m now four treatments in, and I feel good and excited for what’s to come after I’m done with my 6 treatments! I think the most important part of my journey with skin renewal is the trust I am fostering with them. From the professional way they approach things… not just dealing with your skin but also recommending herbal supplements and lifestyle habits that aid your healing journey holistically; to the gentleness of the staff and also the cleanliness of the establishment. My skin therapist doing my monthly treatments is Soné! Oh my goodness, Soné is the sweetest ever. She’s calming, proactive, reassuring and kind. She has great instincts. She advised me to stay consistent, and that has stuck with me! I also feel safe with her and I think that’s very important in the journey. Dr Shannon is my consulting doctor, and wow, is she just so sweet? For my first consultation (the only one so far), she was patient, listened to everything I shared and responded with compassion and professionalism! She never forced me to make drastic changes, and that made me feel comfortable to ease into things… now I am only using the products she prescribed, and I feel and see the difference. The products are gentle yet effective. The thoughtfulness of the Skin Renewal staff has helped with alleviating my initial anxieties, and, I believe, is also helping in how I am responding to the process…
Surita is the BEST !! I took my 13 year old son (he's on the autism spectrum) to have blackheads removed from his ears and his back, and I was very impressed with Surita. She made him feel relaxed and he really enjoyed the treatment. He said he will definitely go back for a follow-up. Thank you Surita for making my "special boy" feel very special. You're amazing
Friendly, professional, passionate practitioners - with whom I've experienced the best results on my acne-prone skin. Treatments are pricey but the practitioners are budget conscious and I've never felt like I'm wasting money. I'm grateful they're around!
Great experience, great results. 5 stars! thanks to Danielle
Surita is my superwoman!! Her hands and warm smile healed my face when I’d absolutely lost hope after covid masks ruined my skin. I’m on my way to recovery and we’re seeing wonderful results. The only regret I have is that I should have started the treatment sooner!
I had such a connecting, enjoyable and professional experience by one of the best skin therapists at the Brooklyn clinic. Thank you to Bianca, and the whole team at the clinic. I always feel at home when I visit. Dr Zander, you are the best!
Beverley knew exactly what first-time treatment to give my extremely dry, yet acne-prone skin. I also purchased some lovely Neostrata skincare products after Beverly shared her in-depth knowledge with me. I really appreciate the help that was given in choosing an at-home skincare routine. I cannot wait to go back next month.
