Talking about the skin, cytokines are the ultimate conductors that we, as skin specialists, rely on during our advanced treatments and to achieve remarkable long-term results for our patients. They also just happen to be the culprits in many skin conditions that we seek to treat - from acne to hyperpigmentation, atopic dermatitis to rosacea, barrier impairment and ageing.

For every action, whether environmental, intrinsic or topically applied, there is a cytokine reaction - and maintaining a level of balance amongst our cytokine population and the messages being transferred and communicated between skin cells is absolute KEY to consider when developing safe and effective treatment programs.

This episode of The Power of Protons explores the role that cytokines play in skin health and condition, the chatter that occurs between skin cells, pigment cells, immune cells and collagen cells, and how to achieve the fastest outcomes, whilst respecting these innate biological processes.
