Medical Skincare vs. Conventional Skin Care

Traditional skincare focuses mainly on cosmetic approaches such as simple moisturizing or massage techniques. In contrast, medical skincare involves personalized treatments performed by dermatology specialists using their medical knowledge and expertise.

Medical skincare uses scientifically proven ingredients, medications, medical devices, and procedures to fundamentally address skin conditions such as acne, melasma, pigmentation, and wrinkles.

Medical skincare helps with damaged skin regeneration, soothes sensitive skin, and cleanses the skin, providing a variety of therapeutic benefits.

Medical Skincare: Keriel

Keriel is a Grade 2 medical device covered by indemnity insurance. It is a transparent, adhesive gel-type wound dressing that forms a protective barrier over damaged skin areas such as first-degree burns to safeguard the skin.

The main components of Keriel are:

  • Silica (Silicon Dioxide) – An inorganic material about 70 nm in size, providing minimal foreign body sensation and excellent spreadability, aiding wound dressing and scar management
  • Squalane – Improves skin itching, moisturizes the skin, smooths rough texture, and enhances skin elasticity
  • Tocopheryl Acetate – Exhibits antioxidant effects by inhibiting oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids that make up the skin cell membrane, protecting the skin from harmful oxygen species
