Soothing relief

Alhydran is a medical cream range specifically developed to treat a disrupted skin barrier, common in skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, burns, and post-surgical scars. It is also the ideal aftercare treatment immediately after wound closure. Developed with a unique combination of ingredients, the cream is tailored for patients seeking effective, soothing relief from persistent skin issues.

Widely used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic doctors and healthcare professionals due to its clinically proven efficacy, Alhydran offers key benefits including deep hydration, accelerated healing, and significant reduction of itching and inflammation. Its formula contains humectants, emollients and occlusive ingredients to ensure powerful hydration as well as water retention for the long-term reinstatement of the moisture balance in the skin.

Clinical studies have demonstrated Alhydran’s effectiveness. A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment highlighted that patients using Alhydran experienced a 50% reduction in symptoms of eczema within two weeks. Another research article in the International Wound Journal reported faster healing times and improved scar appearance in patients with post-surgical scars. 067 264 7253

Erase melasma

Regensys recently launched Skinderma Medical Cosmetics into the South African market.

Specialising in the manufacture of mesotherapy treatment solutions, peeling, and homecare products, Skinderma, a Spanish brand, has developed this range of products according to high-quality and safety standards to deliver results.

The flagship product in the range is SKD Melano Pack which effectively addresses melasma. The formula combines powerful active ingredients like Kojic acid, arbutin, and phytic acid, all working together to inhibit excessive melanin production and address the root causes of melasma. This combination targets the metabolic pathways responsible for melanin synthesis, modulating melanocyte activity, and significantly reducing hyperpigmentation.

Clinical studies have shown significant reductions in melasma intensity after well-structured treatments, and its multidimensional approach also ensures long-term sustainability. The SKD Melano Pack is designed for use by professional skincare practitioners. 082 809 8954

Restoring balance

Dermagenetics focuses on restoring skin health through microbiome-based products. The microbiome, a unique system of microorganisms in the human body, is vital for the skin’s natural defense. When disrupted by environmental factors like stress or harsh cosmetics, the skin’s protective microbiome weakens. Dermagenetics’ products, developed from lactic acid and red wine fermentation derivatives, support the growth of beneficial skin bacteria without containing live cells or microorganisms. These scientifically researched ingredients help treat conditions such as atopic dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, acne, and skin discoloration.

Unlike quick-fix solutions, Dermagenetics’ patented active ingredients and autologous mechanisms promote long-term skin regeneration by restoring the natural balance in stressed or irritated skin. This approach reestablishes the protective hydrolipidic barrier, balances pH levels, and improves skin hydration. With 28 years of experience, Dermagenetics is now entering the South African market, distributed by Cosmoprof Medical Aesthetics, and has earned six awards at the Aesthetic Awards 2023. 071 675 5109
