Refine Texture & Skin Quality

Clear

What is Body Skin Clarity?

Body skin clarity refers to the overall smoothness, even tone, and health of the skin, free from concerns like acne, scarring, rough texture, and pigmentation irregularities. Factors such as hormonal changes, sun exposure, and skin irritation can lead to breakouts, dark spots, or uneven texture, making the skin appear dull or blemished. Targeted treatments help refine skin tone, reduce imperfections, and promote a clearer, more radiant appearance.

OUR TREATMENTS CAN HELP YOU:

∙ Reduce the appearance of scars ∙ Reduce areas of hyperpigmentation or irregularity
∙ Reduce body acne breakouts ∙ Unify and smooth the skin

Did You Know?

Body skin is thicker than facial skin, with the thickest areas found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. However, it has fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dryness and slower to heal compared to facial skin.

Causes and Prevention

Skin clarity can be affected by a variety of factors including acne, scars, stretch marks, and uneven texture. These imperfections are a part of everyday life but can be made worse if not cared for.

Sun Exposure

Sun exposure triggers melanin production, which can lead to hyperpigmentation such as sunspots and uneven skin tone. Over time, UV damage also breaks down collagen and elastin, causing rough texture, fine lines, and a loss of skin smoothness. Without proper protection, prolonged sun exposure accelerates these changes, making skin appear dull, uneven, and prematurely aged.

Genetics

Genetics influence body acne, skin texture, and hyperpigmentation by determining factors like oil production, skin cell turnover, and melanin response. If acne runs in your family, you may be more prone to excess sebum production and clogged pores. Genetic traits also affect collagen structure and skin renewal, impacting overall texture and smoothness. Additionally, those with a genetic predisposition to higher melanin activity are more likely to develop hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, inflammation, or injury.

Injury

Body scars form as part of the skin’s natural healing process after injury, inflammation, or trauma. The most common types include atrophic scars, which appear as indentations due to collagen loss, often from acne or chickenpox. Hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened scars that remain within the wound’s original boundaries, while keloid scars extend beyond the original injury and can continue growing over time. Dark marks, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are discolorations left behind after skin damage but are not true scars. Scarring varies based on genetics, skin type, and the severity of the wound.

Weight Fluctuation

Weight fluctuations can impact body skin clarity and texture by stretching and weakening collagen fibers, leading to changes in smoothness, tone, and overall skin quality. Rapid weight gain can increase oil production and friction, contributing to breakouts and rough texture, while weight loss may result in dull, crepey skin due to reduced elasticity. Stretch marks often develop as the skin expands and contracts, leaving visible lines that can vary in color and texture over time.

Expert Advice

Get the most out of our skin clarity care by following advice from our experts

Consistency is Key

Treating body scars and stretch marks requires time and multiple sessions. Technologies like microneedling, laser and radiofrequency work by gradually stimulating collagen production.

Protect & Prevent

UV exposure can darken skin imperfections, making them more visible and difficult to remove. Apply SPF to treated areas to support long-term healing.

Don’t Pick or Scratch

While it may be tempting, picking at blemishes and scars can worsen their appearance, opt for professional treatment options. 

Dr. Marilyn Gareau, General Practitioner with a Focus in Aesthetic Medicine

“Improving scars and stretch marks is a process, but with the right combination of professional treatments and at-home care, achieving smoother, more even-toned skin is absolutely possible.”
