Stress is a well-recognised and documented contributing factor to skin conditions ranging from atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, to acne and hyperpigmentation, to premature ageing and impaired epidermal barrier.

And our modern world is no short of ‘stressors’ that can surpass our innate ability to cope - many of us are living in 'fight or flight' mode. The concept of ancient body-modern world could not be more relevant.

This episode will explore the importance of discussing stress levels in detail with patients prior to embarking on an advanced course of treatments and homecare and discuss the mechanisms and biological responses that take course during high-stress times and chronic stress levels.

We will share valuable insights about the brain-skin axis, the pros and cons of cortisol and common skin disorders that can trigger or exacerbate with stress.
