When it comes to acne, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface is the key to achieving lasting, clear skin. At Face Medical, we’re excited to be part of a groundbreaking approach: biohacking your skin with DNA testing.
This innovative technique reveals the genetic factors behind your acne, allowing for a more personalised and effective treatment plan. Face Medical and The BioHacking Clinic are working in union, combining advanced in-clinic treatments with DNA information to ensure you have everything you need to unlock your skin’s potential for radiance.
Biohacking Acne: The Power of DNA Testing
Biohacking your skin means using scientific insights to customise your skincare routine based on your unique genetic profile. Through DNA testing, our partners at The BioHacking Clinic can analyse specific markers related to acne, such as oil production, inflammation response, hormone sensitivity, and nutrient absorption. By identifying these factors, Face Medical can collaborate to recommend tailored treatments that work with your body’s needs rather than against them.
With your DNA insights in hand, we can address issues such as:
- Hormonal Imbalance: Certain genes influence how sensitive your skin is to androgens, the hormones that increase oil production and can lead to acne. If testing shows a high sensitivity, targeted hormonal treatments or lifestyle adjustments recommended by The BioHacking Clinic may be part of your acne solution.
- Inflammatory Response: If your genes indicate a higher tendency for inflammation, then acne treatments with anti-inflammatory benefits will be highly beneficial for calming redness and irritation.
Combining DNA Insights with Face Medical’s In-Clinic Treatments
At Face Medical, we understand that skin care isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why our in-clinic treatments perfectly complement biohacking wisdom. Here’s how we can support your journey to clearer skin:
- Hydrofacial: Our Hydrofacial treatment is ideal for removing impurities, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin – making it an excellent choice for those with acne-prone skin. Based on your DNA results, we can tailor the treatment by incorporating specific serums that address issues like excess oil production or dehydration.
- Chemical Peels for Acne-Prone Skin: Chemical peels are incredibly effective for treating acne and refining the skin’s texture. If your genetic profile indicates a slower cell turnover rate, a peel can help exfoliate dead skin cells, clearing pores and minimise breakouts. Face Medical offers gentle peels formulated to treat active acne while also targeting acne scars.
- LED Light Therapy: For those with a high inflammation response, our LED light therapy can significantly reduce acne-related redness and irritation. Blue light therapy targets acne-causing bacteria, while red light calms inflammation, making it a fantastic option for genetic profiles with an inflammatory component.
- Microneedling with PRP: If your DNA testing suggests low collagen levels or slower healing, microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can help promote skin rejuvenation and smooth out scars left by acne. The collagen-boosting effects will support long-term skin healing and resilience.
- Medical-grade skincare: To maintain the results of your in-clinic treatments and support your unique genetic skin needs, Face Medical offers a range of medical-grade skincare products from ZO Skin Health. Unlike over-the-counter options, these formulations contain higher concentrations of active ingredients tailored to treat acne at its core. If your DNA testing reveals tendencies toward oiliness, dryness, or sensitivity, we can recommend specific products to help balance your skin, reduce inflammation, and prevent breakouts. Medical-grade skincare allows you to continue the benefits of your treatments at home, ensuring that your skin stays clear, calm, and radiant every day.
Supporting Biohacking with Medications
In some cases, prescription medication may be recommended alongside in-clinic treatments to achieve optimal results. Based on your DNA test findings, medications like hormonal treatments or bespoke topical formulations may be suggested to control breakouts at the root level. Our team will work closely with you to determine the best options, ensuring that they complement your genetic profile and support your skin’s natural healing.
