    Skin and Hair Concerns in PCOS

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting millions of women worldwide. While often associated with reproductive challenges, PCOS can also significantly impact your skin and hair, leading to issues such as acne, hair loss and excessive hair growth in male-like patterns like the face and chest. These symptoms can significantly impact your self-esteem and overall quality of life.

    Understanding the Impact of PCOS on Hair and Skin

    PCOS disrupts the delicate balance of hormones in your body, leading to:

    • Hair Issues:
      • Hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp.
      • Diffuse pattern hair loss manifests as thinning hair or patchy baldness, primarily on the scalp.
      • Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in male-like patterns like the face, chest, and back. It is due to increased androgen (male hormone) levels.

    • Skin Problems:
      • Acne: Hormonal fluctuations can cause and/or make acne worse, leading to persistent and often severe breakouts, persisting beyond the teenage years.
      • Acanthosis nigricans: This condition causes dark, velvety patches on the skin, often in skin folds like the neck, armpits, and groin.
      • Skin tags: Small, soft skin growths can appear in various body areas.

    At Genese Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing the effects of PCOS on your hair and skin.

    • In-depth Consultation: We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your unique concerns and medical history.
    • Tailored Treatment Plans: Our treatment plans are customised to address your specific needs and goals and may include investigations and a mix of topical and oral medications.
    • Advanced Procedures: For chronic or resistant POCS skin and hair issues, advanced treatments like laser hair removal, chemical peels, and microneedling, along with PRP for hair thinning and acne scars may be recommended.

    People who are pregnant or breastfeeding and those with certain skin conditions may not be suitable candidates for Pico Focus Laser. A consultation with a dermatologist is essential to determine if this treatment is right for you.

    Laser Hair Reduction

    Laser hair reduction is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and disable hair follicles. This significantly reduces unwanted hair growth, ingrown hairs, and strawberry skin while maintaining smooth skin for months or even years.

    How does Laser Hair Reduction work?

    The laser beam targets the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicle, causing damage and hindering its ability to produce new hair growth. Laser hair removal works best on hair in its active growth phase (anagen). Multiple treatment sessions are necessary for optimal results, as each session impacts hair follicles at different growth stages.

    What are the benefits of Laser Hair Reduction?

  • Long-lasting results
  • Target specific areas with minimal impact on surrounding skin.
  • Minimise the occurrence of ingrown hairs
  • Faster treatment times compared to traditional methods.

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Is Laser Hair Reduction permanent?

    While laser hair reduction offers significant hair reduction, it's not considered a permanent solution. Hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications can influence hair growth and may lead to some regrowth over time. However, these regrowing hairs are typically finer and less noticeable than before treatment. Maintenance sessions can help manage any regrowth.

    2. Who is a good candidate for Laser Hair Reduction?

    Laser hair reduction is most effective on individuals with dark hair. However, technological advancements have made it more suitable for a wider range of hair colours. A consultation with a dermatologist can determine if laser hair reduction is right for you.

    3. How many sessions of Laser Hair Reduction are needed?

    The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including the treatment area, hair colour and thickness, and individual response to the laser. Generally, 8-10 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

    4. Does Laser Hair Reduction hurt?

    Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

    5. What is the recovery time after Laser Hair Reduction?

    Following the treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur, which typically resolves within a few hours. For a few weeks after treatment, sun exposure should be avoided over the treated area.

    High-intensity focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

    HIFU, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to deliver targeted heat deep within the skin layers. The SMAS layer, or Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System, is a tissue layer deep within the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It primarily comprises collagen fibres and fibrous bands and plays a crucial role in facial structure. In HIFU treatments, this layer is targeted to induce tightening and lifting of the skin, as the ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production and remodelling within the SMAS. The skin tightens and firms as collagen production increases, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

    HIFU can address various concerns:

  • Loose skin on the face and neck, particularly around the jawline and jowls (turkey neck). Using HIFU along with Botox improves results.
  • Wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and above the lips.

    • Benefits of HIFU for Skin Tightening:

  • Non-invasive and Comfortable: HIFU avoids needles or incisions, making it a comfortable and convenient option.
  • Long-lasting Results: While not permanent, HIFU results can last a year or more with proper skincare.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal recovery time and can resume normal activities following the treatment.
  • Targeted Approach: HIFU specifically targets deeper skin layers where collagen production occurs, leading to more noticeable results than topical treatments.

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What are the differences between HIFU and facelift surgery?

    HIFU is a non-surgical option, while a facelift is a surgical procedure with a longer recovery time and more potential risks. HIFU offers a less dramatic but noticeable improvement.

    2. Can HIFU tighten neck skin (turkey neck)?

    Yes, HIFU can effectively tighten loose skin on the neck, including the "turkey neck" appearance. Using HIFU along with Botox improves results.

    3. Is HIFU safe for all skin types?

    HIFU is generally safe for most skin types. However, a consultation with a dermatologist is crucial to assess your suitability and discuss potential risks.

    4. How does HIFU compare to other non-surgical skin tightening treatments?

    HIFU offers a deeper level of treatment than topical creams or radiofrequency devices, which can lead to more noticeable and longer-lasting results.

    5. What should I expect after HIFU for Skin Tightening?

    Following the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, tightness, or discomfort around the jaw area, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients experience rapid healing with minimal downtime. To optimise results, it is important to follow your dermatologist's aftercare instructions.

    Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood platelets to stimulate skin rejuvenation and promote hair growth.

    How does PRP Therapy work?

    PRP therapy involves a simple three-step process:

  • Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn.
  • Platelet Concentration: The blood is processed to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production.
  • Injection: The concentrated PRP is then injected into the targeted area of the scalp or skin.

    • What can PRP Therapy for Skin treat?

    PRP therapy offers a natural solution for various skin concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks

    • What can PRP Therapy for Hair treat?

  • Hair thinning: PRP injections can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth in areas with thinning hair.
  • Alopecia: PRP therapy may be beneficial for certain types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Does PRP Therapy hurt?

    Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the injection. A topical anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand to numb the area.

    2. How many PRP Therapy sessions are needed?

    The recommended number of PRP sessions can vary depending on the individual and the treated area. Typically, a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.

    3. What results can I expect from PRP Therapy?

    Results are gradual and typically improve over several weeks. With continued treatment, You can expect smoother, plumper skin and potentially thicker, fuller hair.

    4. Who is a good candidate for PRP Therapy?

    Individuals with signs of facial ageing, such as wrinkles or sun damage, or those experiencing hair loss may benefit from PRP therapy. A consultation with a dermatologist can determine if PRP is the right option for you.

    5. Are there any side effects associated with PRP Therapy?

    Injectable Solutions

    Dermal Fillers, Botulinum toxin (Botox), Hyaluronic acid (Profhilo) and Skin Boosters

    Are you looking to address various signs of ageing and achieve a rejuvenated appearance? Genese offers a range of injectable solutions to target specific skin concerns. Here's a closer look at each option:

    1. Dermal Fillers:

    • Function: Dermal fillers are injectable gels composed of hyaluronic acid (often), collagen, or other substances. They add volume and definition to facial features, effectively smoothing wrinkles.
    • Benefits: Immediate results and long-lasting effects (depending on the type used). They are highly versatile and can be tailored to address specific concerns like:
      • Tear Troughs: Dermal fillers in the tear trough area help correct the hollowing under the eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles caused by shadowing. These injections can rejuvenate the under-eye area, making it look refreshed and less tired. The fillers provide structural support and add volume to the delicate area beneath the eyes, effectively diminishing shadows and the appearance of fatigue.
      • Wrinkles and fine lines, particularly those caused by volume loss (nasolabial folds, marionette lines)
      • Loss of facial volume in cheeks, temples, and lips for a plumper, more youthful appearance
      • Lip enhancement and hydration for increased definition and volume to make them look more natural and pink
      • Scar correction for acne or other facial scars

    2. Botulinum toxin (Botox)

    • Function: Botox is a purified toxin from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. This softens wrinkles and fine lines caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows.
    • Benefits: Botox offers quick results with a minimally invasive procedure and a proven safety record when administered by a qualified professional. It's ideal for addressing:
      • Frown lines between the brows
      • Forehead wrinkles
      • Crow's feet around the eyes
      • Masseter muscle: Injection into the masseter muscle can slim the face for a more V-shaped profile and is also used to relieve symptoms of teeth grinding (bruxism).
      • Platysma muscle (Nefertiti Lift): Targeting the platysma muscle with Botox helps define the jawline and neck, creating a more youthful and contoured appearance often called the “Nefertiti Lift.” This technique enhances the jawline’s definition and reduces the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines in the neck (also known as chicken neck) and vertical neck bands.

    3. Hyaluronic Acid (Profhilo)

    • Function: Profhilo is an injectable treatment composed of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, uniquely processed to boost skin hydration and tissue repair. Its bio-remodeling capabilities stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin laxity and texture.
    • Benefits: Profhilo offers restorative and preventative benefits in a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime. It’s particularly effective for:
      • Enhancing skin tone, texture, and hydration
      • Reducing fine lines and signs of skin ageing
      • Improving overall skin firmness and elasticity across the face, neck, and hands

    4. Skin Boosters:

    • Function: Unlike fillers that add volume, skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid formulations designed to improve overall skin texture and hydration. They stimulate collagen deep within the dermis, creating a radiant and youthful appearance.
    • Benefits: Skin boosters offer a natural-looking approach to enhancing skin health. They promote:
      • Improved hydration and elasticity
      • Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
      • More even skin tone
      • Enhanced radiance and a healthy glow
    • Ideal for: Individuals with fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dryness, and loss of elasticity.

    Choosing the Right Injectable:

    During a consultation, our experienced professionals will assess your individual needs and recommend the most suitable injectable or combination approach to achieve your desired outcome.

    Dermatosurgery

    Dermatosurgery includes a variety of specialised procedures - minimally invasive to invasive surgical options - performed by a dermatologist to address a wide range of skin concerns.

    What conditions can Dermatosurgery treat?

    Dermatosurgery offers solutions for various concerns:

    Skin Growths:

  • Common and plantar warts and corns: removed using techniques like excision, cryotherapy (freezing), or cautery.
  • Skin Tags: removed with simple excision or cauterisation.

    • Nail Removal:

    partial or complete nail removal due to ingrown nails, fungal infections, or trauma.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What should I avoid after dermatosurgery?

    Chemical Peels

    Chemical peels are a popular non-surgical treatment that uses a controlled application of acidic solutions to exfoliate the skin's outer layers. This process removes damaged cells, revealing a smoother, more youthful appearance.

    What can Chemical Peels treat?

  • Acne and PIH (Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation): Superficial and medium peels can help clear clogged pores, reduce breakouts, and fade dark spots left behind by acne.
  • Scarring: Medium-depth peels can improve the appearance of acne and other superficial scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting smoother skin texture.
  • Melasma: Certain peels, often in combination with other treatments, can help lighten stubborn patches of discolouration caused by melasma.
  • Keratosis Pilaris (KP): Superficial peels can help remove the rough bumps associated with KP by exfoliating the buildup of keratin in the hair follicles.
  • De Tan: Peels help remove the top layers of the skin, which are often the most tanned, due to exposure to sunlight. This results in a more even skin tone and reduces the appearance of sun damage.
  • Glow: Peels can enhance the skin’s natural luminosity and promote a more vibrant, radiant complexion by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells.
  • Early Stretch Marks: Although not a primary indication, superficial peels can help improve the appearance of early, less pronounced stretch marks by stimulating skin renewal and increasing collagen production.

    • Beyond the Face: Chemical peels can also be used on other areas, such as the back, chest, and hands, to address concerns like sun damage and uneven skin tone.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What does a chemical peel feel like?

    You may experience a tingling or burning sensation during the peel application. Your dermatologist will use appropriate techniques and cooling methods to minimise discomfort.

    2. What is the downtime after a chemical peel?

    Downtime varies depending on the peel depth. Superficial peels have minimal downtime, while medium peels may involve some peeling and redness for a few days.

    3. How long will the results last?

    The duration of results from chemical peels can vary significantly based on the depth of the peel.
    For optimum results, an average of 4 to 6 sessions are recommended. A single session can offer temporary improvements, but at least two sessions are typically recommended to achieve more significant and lasting benefits. The number of sessions needed depends on the individual’s skin condition and the specific issues being targeted.

    Important Note: Chemical peels are not recommended for everyone. Individuals with certain skin conditions or pregnant/breastfeeding women may not be suitable candidates. Always consult a qualified dermatologist to determine if chemical peels are the right choice.

    Medifacials

    Medifacials are clinical-grade treatments that deeply cleanse, exfoliate, nourish, and rejuvenate your skin.

    Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation:

  • Cleanups: This foundational treatment involves deep pore cleansing, extractions (removal of blackheads and whiteheads), and skincare mask application.
  • Microdermabrasion: This minimally invasive technique uses fine crystals or a diamond tip to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. It can address fine lines, uneven skin tone, and sun damage, when done regularly.

    • Hydration and Nourishment:

    • Hydrafacial: This popular treatment utilises a unique vortex technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, hydrate, and infuse the skin with serums. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed, plump, and glowing.
    • Meso Facial: This treatment utilises a non-invasive electroporation technique, employing ultrasound to enhance the penetration of customised serums tailored to individual skin needs. This method ensures deeper absorption of active ingredients, effectively addressing concerns such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity. The treatment is designed to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin by delivering targeted solutions directly to the areas where they are most needed.

    Genese offers a combination of these treatments for a more comprehensive approach:
