The Power of Tranexamic Acid in Skincare

Tranexamic Acid is a powerhouse ingredient revolutionising skincare routines worldwide. Dive into the transformative benefits of this versatile compound as we explore its efficacy in addressing various skin concerns and its safety across different skin types.

Key Benefits of Tranexamic Acid:

Reduction of dark spots and hyperpigmentation: Tranexamic Acid inhibits melanin production and transfer, effectively reducing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma.
Safe for All Skin Types: Unlike some brightening agents, Tranexamic Acid is suitable for all skin types and tones, offering a versatile solution for diverse individuals.
Improvement of Skin Barrier: Studies suggest Tranexamic Acid strengthens the skin barrier, vital for maintaining skin health and preventing conditions like rosacea.
Few Known Side Effects: Tranexamic Acid is generally safe when used topically, with minimal side effects like dryness or irritation. However, caution is advised for oral consumption due to potential systemic side effects.
Brightening Agent: Tranexamic Acid acts as a potent brightening agent, evening out skin tone and reducing discolouration for a more radiant complexion.
Effective Treatment for Melasma: Studies demonstrate Tranexamic Acid's significant efficacy in treating melasma, providing lasting results with continued treatment.

questions

Are serums and topical ingredients available at all Skin Renewal clinics?

Serums & topical ingredients are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.

Are serums compatible with aesthetic procedures offered at Skin Renewal clinics?

Yes, many serums offered by Skin Renewal clinics are specifically formulated to complement and enhance the results of aesthetic procedures. These serums often contain ingredients that support skin healing, hydration, and rejuvenation, making them ideal for use before and after treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels.

Can I continue using my regular serums alongside treatments at Skin Renewal clinics?

It's essential to consult with your skincare doctor or therapist at Skin Renewal before incorporating any new products, including serums, into your skincare routine, especially if you're undergoing aesthetic procedures. While some serums may be compatible with certain treatments, others may need to be temporarily discontinued to avoid potential interactions or sensitivities during the healing process. Your skincare professional can provide personalised recommendations based on your specific treatment plan and skincare needs.

What are serums, and how do they differ from other skincare products?

Serums are lightweight skincare products formulated with high concentrations of active ingredients. Unlike moisturisers, they have smaller molecules that penetrate deeply into the skin, targeting specific concerns like ageing, hydration, or pigmentation.

When should I use a serum in my skincare routine?

Serums are typically applied after cleansing and toning and before moisturising. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin for maximum effectiveness. They can be used both in the morning and evening.

How do I choose the right serum for my skin type and concerns?

Consider your specific skincare needs, such as anti-ageing, hydration, or brightening. Look for serums containing ingredients that address those concerns, and choose formulas suitable for your skin type, whether oily, dry, or sensitive.

Can I use multiple serums at the same time?

One serum at a time is generally recommended to avoid overloading the skin with active ingredients. However, you can alternate between serums depending on your skin's needs or layer them, applying lighter formulas before heavier ones.

How long does it take to see results from using a serum?

Results can vary depending on the serum and your skin's individual response. While some serums may provide immediate benefits like hydration or temporary plumping, it typically takes several weeks of consistent use to see noticeable improvements in areas like fine lines, pigmentation, or overall skin texture.

Second time I've ordered from the online skin shop. This time was during the Black Friday special. Not only did my order arrive the next day as a surprise, but it was, once again, thoughtfully packaged with the free sample recommendations and the usual great quality products that Skin renewal stocks. Thanks again for setting a great example in service delivery both online and in store.
