JAKARTA - Complaints of sensitive skin have been increasingly found in recent years. This condition is characterized by skin that is easily red, itchy, painful, or overreacting to treatment products and environmental factors.
Experts assess that the phenomenon is related to increased exposure to pollution, lifestyle changes, stress, and increasingly unpredictable weather.
In the world of dermatology, attention to skin barrier health or the skin's protective layer is also increasing.
The skin barrier serves to maintain skin moisture while protecting the body from various external factors that have the potential to trigger irritation. When the function of this layer is disrupted, the risk of sensitive skin and various other skin problems increases.
A number of studies show that cases of atopic dermatitis and sensitive skin continue to increase. In Indonesia, atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases found in children's dermatology services.
This condition encourages skin health practitioners not only to focus on treating symptoms, but also on efforts to strengthen the skin's natural protective function.
The issue was one of the topics discussed at the Scientific Anniversary Symposium held by Uriage Indonesia in Jakarta. This activity brought together a number of doctors and skin health practitioners to discuss the latest developments in dermatology, especially related to skin barrier health and handling sensitive skin.
In his remarks, President Director of PT Regenesis Indonesia, Ir. Emmy Noviawati, emphasized the importance of collaboration between industry and the medical community in supporting the development of dermatological science.
"This one-year journey is inseparable from the support and collaboration that has been established with the medical community in Indonesia. We believe that the exchange of knowledge and ongoing collaboration has an important role in supporting the development of science-based dermatological practices," said Ir Emmy Noviawati.
One of the scientific sessions in the activity discussed the importance of maintaining the function of the skin barrier as the foundation of skin health. This topic is considered increasingly relevant given the increasing exposure to environmental factors that can affect the condition of people's skin.
In addition to discussing scientific aspects, the forum also highlights the importance of understanding the patient's journey in a comprehensive manner, from consultation, treatment, to the recovery period after dermatological procedures such as lasers, peels, and other aesthetic procedures.
On the same occasion, a number of doctors shared experiences regarding the challenges of treating patients with sensitive skin conditions and post-treatment care needs.
The discussion showed that the recovery of the skin barrier is becoming one of the aspects that are increasingly being paid attention to in modern dermatological practice.
As part of the scientific forum, participants also received an explanation of the latest developments in the approach to dry, sensitive, and atopic skin care.
The discussion includes the use of technology based on dermatological research that aims to help maintain skin balance and support the natural protective function of the skin.
Through this activity, health practitioners hope that public awareness of the importance of maintaining skin barrier health can continue to increase.
