Your skin is home to a bustling ecosystem of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses—collectively known as the skin microbiome. Far from being mere passengers, these microscopic allies are crucial for your skin’s health and longevity. Wondering why? With all things skin, health, and wellness, you know that we have your back and have done the research into why it matters and what it does to protect you.
Microbiomes form an essential barrier defence function. It is our microbiomes that crowd out harmful invaders and act as a protective shield while supporting the skin’s barrier function. At this point, you may wonder why all of this needs to take place. The answer is simple: it is the role of the microbiomes that helps to keep moisture in and toxins out.
These effective and essential bacteria communicate with your immune system, tempering inflammation and boosting your skin’s ability to heal and defend against pathogens. Research shows that the diversity and balance of your skin microbiome can influence visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and dryness. A healthy microbiome helps maintain skin elasticity, hydration, and resilience against environmental stressors.
Why it matters for longevity
As you age, your skin's microbial community shifts, contributing to dryness, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. These changes can affect how well your skin retains moisture, repairs itself, and fends off infections, all of which are vital for looking and feeling youthful for longer. Supporting your microbiome with gentle skincare and a healthy lifestyle helps unlock your skin’s potential for longevity.
Treatments available at Skin Renewal that further support and nurture this delicate ecosystem include:
- PDT – helps to heal, restore, and strengthen the skin barrier
- Laser Genesis – heals and strengthens the skin’s barrier while also promoting healthy collagen production, targeting the skin’s texture and tone.
- Transdermal mesotherapy with Growth Factors or HA promotes increased skin hydration and, therefore, allows the skin to function better due to having ample moisture.
- HydraTouch Facial – promotes deep cleansing, removing superficial skin cells, which allows the better penetration of actives, increases the skin’s moisture content, and improves the skin’s general health and appearance.
- PRF – An overall restorative skin treatment that promotes healing, collagen production, overall skin health, and rejuvenation.
However, Skin Renewal journeys built on the pillars of health and home care remain essential. It is topical formulations enriched with probiotics, postbiotics, peptides, and antioxidants that help restore microbial balance while stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
Products such as:
- Skin Renewal Anti-oxidant serum with Phloretin
- Skin Renewal Age-Defying Complex
- Skin Renewal Treatment Prep Cream
- Skin Renewal Couperosis Cream
- Skin Renewal HA Gel with Peptides
Combining microbiome-friendly skincare with proven ingredients such as retinoids, Vitamin C, and growth factors enhances skin renewal by promoting cell turnover and collagen synthesis while protecting the skin’s natural flora. All ensure that the importance remains visible.
At Skin Renewal, we believe in a holistic approach. Through home care, lifestyle modifications, and in-branch treatments, you can improve visible signs of ageing and strengthen the skin's resilience against environmental stressors.
