Skin... Our Largest Organ

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC (530) 503.9169



Skin, it is our largest organ. Not only does it cover your entire body, but it has a surface area that averages about 2 square meters. Its thickness varies from 0.5mm on your eyelids to 4mm or more on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. And remember, the next time you step on the scale, your skin accounts for around 16 percent of your total body weight.

Our skin gets thinner as we age due to declining hormones, long term sun exposure, gut imbalances, certain medications, and if thin skin runs in your family - genetics.

There are scores of websites, drug stores, day spas, and the like that are teeming with skin care products to plump, thicken, stimulate and rebuild!  While there are thousands of skin care products out there that lead you to believe they will thicken your skin - the best course of action, and the biggest bang for your buck is PREVENTATIVE. 

TO SCHEDULE AN ACNE CONSULTATION WITH A SKIN CARE PRACTITIONER PLEASE CALL THE ACNE CLINIC.
