Keratosis pilaris


You may have a condition called keratosis pilaris if

  • you have small pimples that look like permanent goose bumps
  • the pimples appear on the back of your arms and legs or bottom, or on other places on your body
  • the pimples are red and sometimes itchy.

Although the condition is harmless, you may feel self-conscious about the area of your skin where it appears.

At Skin Perfection, we offer a range of effective treatments and products for reducing or removing the appearance of keratosis pilaris.

What is keratosis pilaris?

Keratosis pilaris is a common and harmless skin condition that is caused by a build-up of keratin, a protein found in the outer layer of the skin.

The excess keratin blocks the openings of the hair follicles, causing small red, white or pale brown bumps to appear. (The appearance looks like permanent goose bumps, and is sometimes known as ‘chicken skin’).

These bumps or pimples are usually on the back of the upper arms, thighs and buttocks, and occasionally on the forearms or upper back. In rare cases, they can be on other areas of the body such as the face, eyebrows and scalp.

Keratosis pilaris is often associated with other dry skin conditions, and may appear worse in colder weather. For some people, the bumps or pimples can become inflamed and itchy.

    I have been coming here for the last year and can honestly say it is one of the best salons I’ve been to… I’ve been having the micro needling treatment and my skin has never been better. I would highly recommend this treatment and salon.

    I’ve been coming here for over a month now for blue LED light treatment and can’t recommend enough! The treatment itself has done wonders for my acne, the staff are lovely and the location is great. I also think the prices are very reasonable and have recommended Skin Perfection to my sister, who has started the same treatment.

    I have visited the saloon for 6 course of yellow LED light therapy. The ladies there are all very nice and gave me full information about the treatment before during and after the course of 6. It is quite difficult to take appointment within a short time so i suggest to book your slot asap as they get fully booked very easily. …

    Skin Perfection is one of the best clinics I have ever been to, they know what they talking about when it comes to your skin… When you first step in the clinic you are made to feel very welcome not rushed and they listen to what your concerns are about your skin, and what products will be best for your skin.

    I had my first session of laser hair removal today. I was anxious but Lauren B was very informative, professional and patient. I even noticed results from my patch test. The clinic is sparkling clean and clinically spotless. They are fully informed and professionally trained and I’m looking forward to the rest of my treatments. …

    … I’m delighted with the results of my recent LVL (“lash volume lift”) treatment. Lilly added volume and dimension to my stick straight, long blonde lashes. The curl and blue/black tint really made them pop! I feel so pretty and awake now without makeup, and with mascara, the extra drama is intense in the best way. So happy I found a way to enhance my lashe without those high-maintenance and damaging extensions.

    … I have had a course of skin treatments: photofacial rejuvenation combined with a peel and my skin feels so much better for it. It can be uncomfortable during treatment but definitely worth the results.

    I’d highly recommend Skin Perfection. I’ve used them for my lazer hair removal and it has been extremely successful. They are incredibly professional, fast and organised, always texting or calling before appointments, always on time and the treatment itself has worked really well and I’m going to continue using them for more.
