  • Radio Frequency Treatments Bangalore

    Understanding Radio Frequency Treatments

    Scientifically speaking, radiofrequency is the resultant of the phenomenon involving the oscillations of electric and magnetic fields within the radio wave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

    For the treatments, the working principle of Radio Frequency Treatments involves feeding short pulses of alternating current or voltage through an electrode which generated the radio frequency waves which in turn act on the intended skin part.

    Types of Radiofrequency delivery

    UniPolar
    Monopolar or unipolar refers to a device having one pole or electrode.

    In this delivery mode, the single electrode is placed on the area being treated and the current pulse from it then runs throughout the body facing maximum resistance at the spot where the electrode was kept thus facilitating tissue healing by boosting collagen generation.

    The boost in collagen generation is the direct result of the skin tissues resisting the current being passed through them so as to prevent any intended damage.

    BiPolar
    Bipolar refers to a device having two poles or electrodes.

    This mode involves usage of two electrodes on a single handpiece. The tissue that is held between these two electrodes then has the current flowing through it as against the entire body in case of Unipolar mode.

    Recovery
    Though some people might experience mild redness following the treatment, it usually disappears quickly. The Radio Frequency Treatments is short and can be called a lunch time procedure- which means that you can return to your normal work life almost immediately.

    The one thing however which you would require to avoid for a few days would be direct sun exposure.

    Also, the doctor would share a treatment plan with you which should be adhered to religiously. That being said, everything will be fine.

  • Weight Loss vs Fat Loss

    Now, though it may seem on the outset that weight loss should be the thing to go for, it is important to know that weight gain or loss though largely attributed to the gain or loss of fat, also has an important role of carbohydrates and water to it in addition to several procedures which your body undergoes daily- for example some days you will feel bloated due to excess water retention and the weighing scale may show more and on another day when you check the weight right after the daily ablution, you will feel that you weigh lighter.

    You must have noticed it too that your weight if taken before sleeping is usually higher than the weight taken during morning. This is because the food and water retained in the body give the feeling that your weight has increased.

    Thus, the actual focus should be on fat loss and not weight loss because the latter is just a myth; the former is the truth that everyone should seek.

    Thus, though your weighing machine will be a broader way to judge your weight and health, it is not the only thing you should rely on. The reason for the same can be explained through an example- The bodybuilders or athletes reduce their body fat but build their muscles- a phenomenon which though keeps their body weight constant or increases it too does not mean that they aren’t healthy or are fat when their fat content is actually less than 12%..

    Another factor which says why we should focus more on fat loss as against weight loss is that not everyone has the same bone density and hence a very slim looking person might actually have a greater weight than a comparatively healthy person of the same built.

    With so many fact corrections now, how do we then know if the fat/weight loss regimen that we are following is setting us on the right path or not?
    Well, you can and here is how:

    • Stop obsessing over the grammage of carbs and fats intake. Instead focus on having a balanced diet. The BMI measurement is flawed to a great extent owing to the fact that it does not take the “body fat” into account so stop relying on it.
    • Stop weighing yourself daily or weekly. Fat loss is a gradual process. The minimum duration over which the effects can be seen is 2 weeks
    • Stop judging yourself based upon what they show in movies and do not judge yourself everytime you look into the mirror. Psychological reasons skew the perceptions. Instead focus on how healthy and active you feel as compared to earlier
    • To measure the body fat, get a fat calliper– even if it does not show on your weighing scale, the lost inches will show on the fat calliper for sure
    • Maintain a log of your work out, if you feel that your muscular activity (the period of time after which you feel tired) has gone up, you are on the right track.

    Always remember that a happy you is a healthy you (That doesn’t mean that you will induce your happiness using fat and sugar though).

    Eat healthy and exercise; if not a lot then whatever little physical movement you can do, do it and slowly you will realise that you will be fit and perfectly fine.

    Also, do you know the benefits that pumpkin seed oil has for health and also fat loss? Well, check it here!

  • The Hollow in Your Eyes: Under Eye Treatment Saga

    Same goes with the eye bags which are assumed to be caused by mostly stress and lack of sleep and in some cases are hereditary too.

    But, contrary to the prevalent belief, under eye concerns are more commonly caused by facial or nerval structures.

    Now, when it is pigmentation, one cans till go for topical creams and masks and get some results but in case of the body structure being like that, what to do to correct it is a big concern.

    At Kosmoderma, we understand this and that is why we have the following at offer:

    1. To facilitate the drainage of excess lymph which gets collected in the under eye region resulting in puffiness, we have a specifically curated under eye mask which contains Vitamin C and seaweed extracts. These two agents are responsible for draining lymph while Vitamin C has an additional benefit of being an anti-ageing agent.
    2. For those whose hollow under eye sockets are due to loss of fat or the lack of it, Hyaluronic acid based injections are given. The HA then replaces the lost fat and recontours the sunken sockets. Also, the smoothened result that it has on the overlying epidermis results in reduced friction between the bone and the skin and hence a reduced pigmentation.
    3. Platelet Rich Plasma is also sometimes injected injected in order to boost collagen generation in the region in addition to facilitating lymphatic drainage.
    4. Unlike Laser based treatments which will be effective in case of pigmentation resulting in dark circles, Fractional radio frequency based treatments help in tightening the skin around the eyes thus resulting in a better skin texture and new collagen production which helps in reducing the dark circles or puffiness as the case be.

    We hope that having gone through these, you would be able to make an informed decision the next time you face such a concern and visit a dermatologist.

  • Excess Sweating: The solution once and for all

    Anti-perspirants

    Commonly available in the market, the most effective of the anti-perspirants works by creating a sweat plug due to the presence of aluminium content in them. Antiperspirants are best used for excess sweating as a temporary solution because blocking perspiration regularly isn’t the right thing to do.

    The over the counter products work for most but in case you still face excess perspiration issues, consult your dermatologist.

    Iontophoresis

    This procedure involves dipping your hands and legs in medicated solution for longer durations to release the body toxins. Research is still on to understand how osmosis/reverse-osmosis in this case releases the toxins but the results have been seen in case of mild perspirational issues.

    However, there are no theoretical experiments backing this procedure effectiveness. The defined effectiveness has been totally experience based.

    Botulinum Toxins

    The most effective non-surgical procedure available. Botulinum toxins if injected in the right amount and at the right place help in almost curbing the issue for a really long duration. In some cases however, booster doses may be required.

    The toxin works by paralysing the sweat glands so that excess sweat isn’t produced.

    The catch however is that one has to take the injectible from a trained doctor only because any variation in quantity may be lethal and any wrong application may render the treatment totally ineffective.

    Surgical Procedures

    Recommended only for extreme cases where the patient does not respond to Botulinum toxins too. In this procedure known as Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS), the surgeon makes an incision on the nerve of the sweat glands. This procedure is very effective but almost all cases face the side effect of compensatory sweating where the body stops sweating at the designated place but to compensate for it, starts sweating at another location.

    Other than these, the doctors may also prescribe anticholinergic drugs to stop the activation of sweat glands and help with reducing the excess sweating.

    We hope that this blog will give you enough insights to choose the treatment that would suit you most.

  • Wet Moisturisers- What makes them better?

    The moisturiser application involves applying it immediately after one has dried off after the shower little realising that drying up removes the water from the skin and the little that remains on the surface evaporates within 30 seconds.

    Now, moisturisers work in two ways- occlusives which lock in the moisture and humectants which absorb the moisture from the air into the skin.

    Majority of the moisture retention taken place thanks to the occlusives. Regarding the humectants doing their work, though many firms claims that the skin absorbs 60% of what is applied on it, there is no concrete study proving it and the absorption can be anywhere between 0 to 100 percent based on the skin type. This means that the probability of something from the air being absorbed in the skin becomes even less because the primary function of the skin is to act as a barrier and prevent any harmful substance from seeping into the deeper layers.

    This means that the moisture retention happens the maximum immediately after the shower and before drying up- a fact which renders most of the moisturisers significantly diminished in their effectiveness. Also, applying them straight after shower is not a possibility since they would form a thick sticky paste.

    This is where the concept of Wet Moisturisers comes.Wet Moisturisers are specifically curated to be applied right after the shower and before you wipe yourself off.

    Though you might feel that the moisturiser is also dripping along with water but within a matter of 10 to 20 seconds it gets absorbed post which you can dry yourself off. Thus, your moisture content gets locked with the occlusives working at their efficient best.

    The lab studies as well as in market results have been good and even though the concept is new, it is fast catching up. Afterall, who would not want to be done with the hydration concerns with just one time moisturiser application.

    (At Kosmoderma, we believe that there are certain good OTC products which should be used for effective maintenance of the skin but if your skin has already got damaged because of lack of hydration, a moisturiser will have its set of limitations in curing it. In such a case, it is advisable that one visits the dermatologist for a better and effective treatment)

  • The Curious case of Crow Feet!

    This blog topic talks about these ways.

    1. The Best guide to curing something is preventing it in the first place. Though crow feet eventually appear with age as the skin’s collagen generation decreases but there are a few factors which if considered can significantly delay this ageing phenomenon. These are listed below:
      • Use not just any but UV Protected sunglasses to not just provide the usual protection from the sun’s heat but to also prevent squinting in the sun and hence reduce the excessive strain on the eye muscles.
      • Use a plumping moisturiser near the eyes and massage them twice daily- once in the morning and then in the night before sleeping. This will relax the eye muscles as well as the abundant moisturisation will keep the skin hydrated and hence the collagen generation ability and the skin elasticity will remain intact.
      • Keep yourself hydrated. An internal system that lacks in moisture cannot maintain a healthy and supple skin.
      • Medifacials and jet peels are another set of treatments which you can take over time to maintain the skin’s suppleness.
      • As a preventive measure you can actually take botulinum injectables before the fine lines appear. As a preventive measure, this would prevent the entire collagen of the skin from breaking down.
    2. For the curative part, botulinum injections are the most effective solutions indeed but if you start your crow feet treatment right from the first appearance, exfoliation with glycolic peels also has a high probability of showing good results. Proved to be better than physical exfoliants, glycolic acid peels work not just by taking the dead skin cells away but also by adding volume to the surface. Also, the skin healing process that is expedited by the peel, renews the collagen generation abilities of the dermis.

    At Kosmoderma we understand that for any skin, hair or body related concern, prevention is any day better than cure. Hence, maintaining a good diet, keeping yourself hydrated and exercising regularly- both for the body and face have an importance of their own.

    And if and when the time comes and any special assistance is required, we are always there.

  • Liposuction vs Lipodissolve

    The usual queries are around which treatment is better than the other and why. The obvious answer to this seems that since Lipodissolve is a newer and more advanced technique, it will be better but in actuality, there is no clear better between these two.
    This blog deals with some of the comparisons made between Liposuction and Lipodissolve while making the choice,

    The Surgical/Non-Surgical question
    Liposuction is a surgical procedure which requires anesthesia while Lipodissolve is a non-surgical 30 minute procedure.
    The non-surgical procedure that Lipodissolve is reduces the overall post procedure downtime as well as the maintenance that would be required afterwards.

    How does the functionality differ for the treatments?
    For Liposuction, diluted local anesthesia is infused before making an incision. Post this, a thin hollow tube or cannula is inserted through the incision to loosen up the excess fat by controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then sucked out of the body using vacuum.
    Lipodissolve on the other hand involves injecting a specially curated formula at the fat spots to dissolve the cellulite which comes out of the body through the natural excretory processes.

    What about Post Procedure fat gain?
    If someone gains weight after Lipodissolve, it will deposit at the initial places only unlike Liposuction where the deposition can take place even at those areas where there was no fat initially

    Any side effects?
    No significant side effects have been recorded till date for both the procedures. However, the look one gets after using either of the procedure varies.
    While Liposuction leaves loose skin after fat removal, Lipodissolve gives a more natural appearance after the fat reduction

    The downtime
    The average downtime for Liposuction is about three weeks. While usual activities can be resumed after seven to ten days, strenuous activities are advised to be undertaken after three weeks only.
    For Lipodissolve, the procedure lasts for 30 minutes after which you are good to go!

    Hope this helped and if considering any, you would be able to select a procedure better!

    Cheers!

  • Body Odour Prevention: The Gharelu Nuskhe

    So, if you have been facing body odour issues off late, it is time you do something about it. Just sticking to the regular deodorants or perfumes may not be the solution to your concerns.

    PS: There are proven medical treatments for body odour prevention and at Kosmoderma, we prefer opting for them only. But, we know that everyone wants to try out few harmless and natural DIYs before opting for a long last treatment and hence here are the top 3 treatments that we have still found effective over time.

    Rosemary Solution
    Rosemary is a natural antibacterial agent which also contains menthol and zinc. The inherent antibacterial properties inhibit the bacterial growth while menthol helps in neutralising the body odour. The additional zinc content in it which when seeps into the skin may reduce the body odour in the first place as zinc deficiency has been known to cause body odour in several individuals.

    Following are the ways in which Rosemary can be utilised for body odour treatment:

    • Add one and half cup of dried rosemary leaves to four cups of hot water. Leave the water-leaves mix stand still for 10-15 minutes. Soak up the leaves well and then use cotton to pat this solution onto your skin (special attention to the odour points). Alternatively, you can also mix this solution in your bathing water and soak up your body in this for 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, pat your skin dry.
    • Another way is to prepare a natural deodorant by mixing about 8 ml rosemary essential oil in 22 ml of water and using it as and when required.

    Sage Herb
    The herb is known to reduce sweat gland activity and is an antibacterial agent which reduces bacterial growth and hence inhibits body odour. It can be used to effect in the following ways.

    • For internal systemic cleansing, soak one tbsp of dried sage in a cup of hot water for about 10 minutes. Strain the leaves and drink. This drink should not be taken more than twice daily
    • Mix about 2 ml each of sage essential oil, coriander essential oil, lavender essential oil and about 40 ml of distilled witch hazel. Mix them well and use the resultant solution as a deodorant daily.

    Note: Pregnant ladies or Nursing mothers should not use sage

    Apple Cider Vinegar
    In addition to being an antibacterial agent, apple cider vinegar helps in maintaining the natural body pH too. The usage can be done in the following ways:

    • Gently apply apple cider vinegar on your underarms for about 2-3 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. Repeat this process twice daily- once in morning and second before going to bed at night. Ideally, the improvement in your situation should be visible within 20-25 days.
    • Make a concoction of apple cider vinegar and honey in warm water. Drink this mix before your meals i.e. thrice a day. This will internally cleanse your system thus reducing the body odour issues.

    Hope these would help.

  • Chin Up: Bye Bye to the Double Chin

    Surgery is indeed an almost permanent option and we know from our experience with several patients at Kosmoderma that there is hardly any downtime but, we still prefer that you should try exercising first. These exercises may not have drastic effects but the fact that the results would be significant enough has a high probability.

    Tongue Press

    1. Sit with your back straightened up and tilt your head such that you face the ceiling now.
    2. Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth
    3. Maintain this position for about 10 seconds
    4. Now, while holding your tongue in the same position, lower your chin to touch the chest as far as possible
    5. Hold for 10 seconds again
    6. Repeat this procedure in two sets of 10 each

    PS: Your stamina will build over time, do not stretch too much in the first time and end up with the neck pain.

    Chin Rotation

    • Sit or stand with your back straight
    • Rotate your chin anti-clockwise starting from your shoulder
    • Make 5 such neck rotations to begin with
    • Make sure your shoulders stay stationary and down while you rotate your neck.

    Tongue Stretch

    • Relax yourself and open your mouth as wide as you can.
    • Stick your tongue out as far as you can till you feel your chin and neck tighten.
    • While you hold your tongue out, count till 10 and then release
    • Repeat this procedure 10 times

    Take a side profile image before you start your regular exercise. Take another side profile picture after 15 days and see the difference for yourself.
