CLEARER SKIN

Are you suffering from acne breakouts?

Could it be your diet, your gut, your hormones or something else?

You might ask, “Why do I have this and how can it be treated?”

In this page, we will help you by identifying what’s truly contributing to your acne breakouts so that you can be more in control of how your skin behaves. Depending on what we find, we can either remove, replace, or restore balance to your skin.

Dr. Terry’s approach to clearing hormonal acne is finding the root cause of the problem first and foremost before recommending a patient any skin care products:

“WHEN I REALISE THE SKIN IS AN EXTENSION OF THE SOUL AND A REFLECTION OF A HEALTHY BODY AND A HAPPY MIND, IT CHANGED THE WAY I PRACTISED SKIN CARE.”

These are the skin concerns you may be experiencing right now and some of which may be recurring:

  • Acne
  • Cystic acne
  • Acne rosacea
  • Sensitive skin
  • Oily skin
  • Post birth control pill breakouts
  • Skin preparation before stopping the pill
  • PCOS
  • Congestion
  • Acne scars and pigmentation
  • PMS
  • Skin changes due to perimenopause and menopause

Recurring skin concerns or issues can be quite frustrating.

We are here to help you address it through understanding your skin and hormones better and how you can navigate and flow through your unique season in life.

As an Integrative Skin & Hormone Doctor, Dr. Terry now offers  single consultations or 3 month programs depending on your needs and level of support required.

Dr Terry’s goal is to help you to:

  • Know your skin and hormones a whole lot better
  • Simplify your routines while maximising the results
  • Create healthy habits that are easy to follow, sustainable, and caters to your need
  • Calm and heal your skin inside out, being more resilient
  • Learn to be in tune with your skin and trust its healing properties

If you are looking for an inside-out approach and are open to a new way of clearing your skin, you can read about the programs offered at the bottom of this page.

What is acne?

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition arising as a result of blockage that occur in the hair follicles. Sebaceous glands at the follicles are stimulated by hormones (which is why acne often occurs from puberty onwards) and these release sebum.

If the sebum is excessive or blocked from leaving the follicle, bacteria can proliferate in the follicle and the resulting inflammation causes a pimple or spot. The bacteria propionibacterium acnes has been shown to be responsible for acne.

There are different severities of acne ranging from whiteheads to cysts. The discomfort levels and risks of scarring increase depending on the the scale of severity. Varying factors influence the risks and level of acne and these should be examined before treatment.

You can watch Dr. Terry’s video for further information “10 reasons why your acne may not be clearing”.
