  • Why do we get Under Eye Dark Circles?

    • Allergies
      Dark circles under the eyes can be the result of allergies to airborne substances, such as pollen, dust, and pet dander, because of persistent eye rubbing
    • Medications
      Certain medication and also liver and kidney problems could cause dark circles under the eyes.
    • Anemia
      Iron deficiency anemia may cause a bluish tinge below the eyes.
    • Malnourishment
      Lack of balanced diet is a common cause of dark circles. A healthy and nutritious diet rich in vitamins like A, C, K, E and nutrients can help to get rid of dark circles.
    • Exposure to sun
      Too much exposure to sun weakens the thin skin around the eye area causing dark circles.
    • Heredity
      Dark circles under the eyes run in families. They tend to be more noticeable in people with fair skin or deep-set eyes.
    • Fluid retention which causes puffiness that may cast shadows
      Blood vessels under the eyes can become dilated and engorged, which can contribute to dark circles. Excess dietary salt and smoking are common causes. Conditions that cause fluid retention (e.g. heart, thyroid, kidney, liver diseases) or medications that cause blood vessel dilation may be a factor.
    • Aging
      The skin under the eyes is thin and delicate to begin with. As we age, skin and the fat pad under the eyes becomes thinner, causing blood vessels to become noticeable. This thins and relaxes the skin around the eyes and gives the appearance of dark circles. Sun damage can make it worse because it weakens skin.
    • Lack of sleep
      A lack of sleep can make skin appear more pale, which allows blood vessels to be more visible through the skin, giving the appearance of bluish or dark circles.
    • Dehydration
      Dark circles under the eyes can be a sign of dehydration. Be sure to drink enough water.

  • The most potent Anti Agers in the market

    Green Tea
    Green tea is an antioxidant, meaning that it aids in preventing and repairing the damage done by oxidation, which breaks down skin cells Green tea also has a wonderful effect on dark circles – which is especially striking when combined with caffeine in eye cream.

    B Vitamins
    B vitamins can be especially potent in moisturizers. When these vitamins are among the ingredients in your skin care, any damaged cells will heal and regenerate more quickly. And if you’re looking to supplement your anti-aging cream, one of the best natural sources of vitamin B is bananas.

    Coenzyme Q10
    Another strong antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 (which is actually vitamin Q) can help build the foundation needed for younger-looking skin. As we get older, our natural coenzyme Q10 levels diminish, slowing the skin’s ability to rejuvenate and protect itself from damage.

    Vitamin E
    Vitamin E is a powerhouse when it comes to reversing the type of skin damage that leads to dryness, collagen destruction, and fine lines and wrinkles. The vitamin neutralizes free radicals – agents that damage cells – by environmental factors like sun exposure.

    Copper
    Essential for collagen formation, the anti-aging ingredient helps support the skin to prevent sagging and to fill in wrinkles. It is a good alternative for those with sensitive skin who may not be able to tolerate retinoids.

    Peptides
    When included in anti-aging treatments, peptides are believed to stimulate the production of collagen.

  • Why home care regimen is so important?

    Apart from following this regimen, what kind of products you use plays a very important role in delaying your aging process. There are thousands of brands available. How do you pick?

    When it comes to skin products, we need to understand the difference between medical graded products from cosmetic products. As the skin is protected by the acid mantle, most of the ingredients in a cosmetic range are blocked from entering the living layers of the skin, thus being ineffective. For effectiveness, the active ingredients must be able to penetrate the acid mantle and reach the living layers of the skin. Only Medical ranges can achieve this, Many beauty products- which often sell at a high retail price- come with claims that the product is based on advanced scientific research, giving consumers the wrong impression that they are as effective- and as tested- as drugs. Cosmetics are not required to undergo the clinical trials for efficacy to which drugs are subjected because cosmetics are not primarily about science, but about the age-old promise of beauty. These products are generally made for all skin types & cannot give individual results. The benefit of Medical products is product strength, research and clinical trials that it undergoes, ability to give targeted treatments and depending on skin type, the results are instant.

    So it’s a good idea to consult your dermatologist even for you home care regimen to keep your skin young, radiant and flawless

  • Water and the skin

    Is water really essential for the appearance of your skin?

    While not everyone agrees, we think the answer is a resounding yes! Skin is intricately tied to the overall health of your body. When your body is properly hydrated, you’ll look better and feel better. Water gives you a radiant complexion and in addition, bloating and puffiness often disappears.

    How much water is needed?

    The amount of water needed by an individual varies, depending on body weight and level of daily physical activity. Also illness, pregnancy, and breastfeeding are special situations that demand greater fluid consumption. Drinking too much water may lead to a rare condition called Hyponatremia. Check with your physician for recommendations.

    At Kosmoderma, we follow an easy formula to help you determine how much water is needed every day for maximum physical health:

    • Take your body weight in kilograms
    • Divide this number by 8
    • The resulting number approximates how much 8-ounce glasses of water you should drink every day.

    For example, if your weight is 50kg, you should drink 6 glasses of water every day. If you are involved in intense physical activity, add 2 extra glasses of water to the final number.

    Consuming lots of fresh fruits and vegetables for healthy skin will satisfy some of your body’s fluid requirement. Also milk, juice, and other healthy beverages are part of your daily total. Just make sure that most of your daily fluid is pure, clear water. So keep a large bottle of water on hand daily and keep the body hydrated.

  • Aesthetic Medical Films | Best Dermatologist in Bangalore

    Based on the real life story of the patient, a 26-year-old Hindu priest in a temple Umaa Shankar, the short film was written and adapted for the screen and directed by Abhinav Kamal and Jyotirmoy Barman of Ten Motion Arts and produced by Kosmoderma Clinic. Cinematographer Balaji has managed to capture the essence of the tale. The story revolves around the experience of Shankar who loses his job as a priest after a disfiguring accident, making him struggle to support his family. Destiny, however, brings him in touch with Chytra and Dr Rasya at Kosmoderma clinics. Modern medicine and the science of aesthetics prove not only to be a boon of happiness, but also a life changing experience for him and his traditional family.

    The story was discussed among the team members (Kosmoderma and Ten Motion Arts, the production house) and finally selected to be made into a film by Chytra. “One of the reasons why the story of Umaa Shankar was selected to be made into a film is that we all found the story to be naturally inspiring and motivating. It is the story of an individual who has his own struggles and then triumphs at the end. The film allowed us to showcase our culture and the cinematography, specifically, has been the treat to the eyes of the audience,” says Chytra.

    The 15 minute neatly and tightly edited film shows how modern technology in cosmetic surgery and aesthetics can bring hope to middle class and lower middle class people and can boost the self confidence and morale of someone who has been scarred due to an accident.

    “We have come across young men who have been denied jobs due to cuts or scars on their face and brides who have been asked to go back to parents’ home due to acne, which the in-laws believe is contagious,” says Rasya. Even excessive facial hair in women can cause a lot of social and marital problems. Chytra adds that it is a wrong perception that chemical peels and other medical aesthetic procedures are just for actresses and society ladies. Often, they become a necessity and can transform lives.
