Seeking treatment from a qualified Corneo Therapist is important for the long term health of your skin. This holistic approach aims to maintain the structural integrity of the epidermis by using treatments that benefit the inner layers through optimizing the outer ones.
Let’s break it down. Our skin organ is made up of five layers. The outermost layer of the skin is called the Stratum Corneum, and is the primary barrier between our body and the environment. The goal of Corneo-clinical therapy is to reinforce support for the Stratum Corneum and above all else achieve ethical clinical results!
When the Stratum Corneum is functioning optimally it will defend the body against dehydration, toxins, and bacteria, as well as protecting the underlying skin layers. That’s why it’s known as the barrier.
When the Stratum Corneum is damaged, environmental allergens, microorganisms, and other harmful substances can penetrate the skin more easily, triggering the immune response and causing inflammation. This reaction may lead to conditions such as dermatitis, Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency (EFAD), Xerosis, Ichthyosis, and Eczema.
