Have you been wondering how you can treat rough skin on face, feet, elbows and other parts of the body?
If you have, this blog post will teach you 10 things that you can do to clear rough skin. From dermatological procedures to prescription medications and skincare products, we have covered the best for you.
Rough Skin Causes
Rough skin on the face is caused by the build up of dead cells on the surface of the skin. It can also be caused by dry skin.
Rough skin on other parts of the body is also caused by dry skin and the build up of dead skin cells.
Rough skin texture can also be caused by skin diseases like Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin). Systemic diseases that cause rough, dry skin include hypothyroidism (poor thyroid function), diabetes, kidney disease and liver disease.
How To Treat Rough Skin:
Get Microdermabrasion Done
Microdermabrasion is a procedure which uses a device to painlessly remove the dead cells on the surface of the skin. This smoothens the rough patches and results in more even textured skin. Removing the dead skin cells also improves the absorption of the rough skin treatment products. Microdermabrasion also boosts blood circulation in the skin and this enhances the delivery of nutrients to the skin. This makes microdermabrasion effective for treating rough skin on the face and other parts of the body like the legs.
We offer microdermabrasion for rough skin treatment at our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Clinic which is located in Fortis Suites, Hospital road, 8th floor, room 809. We see new clients on Saturdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm.

How To Treat Rough Skin:
Get a Chemical Peel Done
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a special solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layer of dead cells by loosening the glue that holds them together. This helps smoothen the skin since these cells tend to be the most rough. It also leaves the skin softer and with a more youthful glow. Chemical peels also help skin care products penetrate the skin better.

How To Treat Rough Skin:
Get Prescription Medications
Studies have shown that applying certain prescription medications increases the rate of shedding of the dead skin cells which smoothens rough patches. Our Doctor can prescribe these medications for rough skin.
Our Doctor can also evaluate you to determine whether the rough, dry skin is caused by conditions like hypothyroidism, diabetes, liver disease or kidney disease.
