Dr. Yug Varma, co-founder and CEO of Phyla, discusses the advanced probiotic acne system that can reduce acne by 90%. The system targets the root cause of acne, which is the bacteria C-acnes, and eliminates off-target effects and side effects of traditional acne medications. The technology kills bad bacteria without harming the beneficial bacteria in the body. The brain-skin connection is also explored, highlighting the potential impact of improving skin health on the nervous system and overall well-being. Phyla is a company that focuses on developing products to address acne and other skin conditions by targeting the skin microbiome. They use phages, which are viruses that can kill specific bacteria, to rebalance the skin microbiome and reduce inflammation. The company is also exploring the potential of their phage technology to address other skin conditions, such as inflammation, uneven skin tone, and dull skin. While their current focus is on the skin, they are interested in expanding their technology to target other microbiomes, such as the gut microbiome.
