This means getting your check-up with one who is board-certified. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/1631238747250-H5N2C78H06SKPEWLLERH/PAQ+Skin+Cancer+1+Q.png Skin Blog - Can Filipinos get Skin Cancer? - A common myth is that Asians and brown skinned people like Filipinos don't get skin cancer.

Bacteria - a well known cause of acne is the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes. Most anti-acne products are made to fight this bacteria. However because acne has many factors, just dealing with this is not enough. Excess sebum and skin cell shedding - over production of oils on the skin and increased dead skin cells (aka follicular hyperkeratinization) clogging the exit of the glands can start acne. These are commonly seen as whiteheads and blackheads. Hormones - hormonal changes, as seen during adolescence or women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are known to cause or make acne worse through many factors, including sebum production and inflammation. Inflammation - can be regarded as the main “problem” in acne. All these factors make a pimple which can become inflamed, red, and painful. Genetics - having parents with a history of developing severe acne and acne scars increase your own risk for developing acne. Friction - from items such as masks is a very common cause of acne “Maskne” especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/24f9a9a9-0ea6-481d-911a-67ff5c012296/unsplash-image-6CRT2abmtpk.jpg Acne - Targeted skin care and evidence-based products Every product out there claims to treat acne. To learn which product works best for your concerns, consult with an expert who understands these ingredients and skin biology. Products we use in the clinic are well-researched, sourced only from reputable providers, and of the highest quality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/122ab526-de6e-4552-9422-2fb6ea0610ce/unsplash-image-2rrsfMN4hn8.jpg Acne - Chemical Peels. Injectibles. Lasers and Devices. There are plenty of procedures out there that can be used for acne. They all depend on the degree of severity of the acne, the time and cost you’re willing to put in, and your own personal preferences. Always work with a trained dermatologist who takes all of this into account and is knowledgeable in these procedures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/84f711d2-ed7a-43b1-a5c4-db64beb29d1a/unsplash-image-lSYvRWrNR5U.jpg Acne - What do I need to do to prepare for my consultation? Send a message to any of our contact details to schedule a consultation. Bring a list of any medications and products you’ve been using. Bring the products themselves if you’d like. Come to the clinic on time with a clean face with no makeup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/272657e3-26db-4931-be41-2648a51217fa/viber_image_2022-02-05_22-47-39-327.jpg Acne - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cervantesclinic.com/botulinum daily 0.75 2023-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/049e3f82-dbed-4a2f-969c-31a66a0a0396/unsplash-image-cQ8FfVNvbew.jpg Botulinum Toxins - What do I need to prepare? (Can I book a session right away?) A proper face-to-face consultation is always needed before any session to ensure safety and the best results. For this reason, we don’t allow “booking” of a botox without a consultation. Before your consult, bring a list of all medications and supplements you take, because these can affect the results. We may ask you not to take any blood thinners and alcohol days before the procedure. We advise against smoking as this affects healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/21108fc4-710b-40a0-9605-35f551932ab6/unsplash-image-gwuhbsRzOvo.jpg Botulinum Toxins - Are there any side effects? Common side effects are soreness and bruising for a few hours to days after the procedure Uncommon side effects are headache lasting a few hours after the procedure Rare side effects are an allergic reaction and muscle weakness or temporary drooping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/7c860b62-0eaf-46a9-bc6a-307b138b3436/unsplash-image-4bmtMXGuVqo.jpg Botulinum Toxins - When do I see results and how long do they last? Improvement of wrinkles can be seen as early as 5 days but the maximum effect is seen after 1-2 weeks. Effects last from 3 months up to 6 months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d8f617a5e081aa4e2df7b/1642221991353-I20NJM1N5EEJSPZMLEUK/unsplash-image-ts6a7S-tgBQ.jpg Botulinum Toxins - Post Treatment Advice Avoid washing or scrubbing your face of the day after your treatment.
