  • Hyperpigmentation Treatment: How to Remove Pigmentation

    This is because, just like all melanin depositions, hyperpigmentation is also the result of deposits under the skin layers and hence the treatments aimed at containing/treating hyperpigmentation also have to target the deeper and not superficial layers of the skin .

    A dedicated medical treatment plan however can help with containing hyperpigmentation as well as reducing the damage already done.

    Retinoids

    Retinoids are one of the most common ingredients of OTC products when it comes to treatment of hyperpigmentation. Derived from Vitamin A, their small molecular structure allows them to penetrate deeper into the skin at the layers below the epidermis, thus allowing for an effective treatment. While retinoids are potent enough to treat hyperpigmentation, since they come in the form of OTCs mostly, the overall combination inhibits their effectiveness in general. However, if the dermatologist suggests retinoids in a different form or as a treatment aimed at maintenance, significant results can be seen.

    Microdermabrasion

    A quick lunch time procedure, microdermabrasion involves exfoliating the skin using tiny particles to remove dead skin. There is no downtime with this procedure and dermatologists generally recommend that one has the treatment done every 2 -4 weeks to achieve best results. The treatment is more suitable for people with mild pigmentation and in all improves the appearance of skin discolouration .

    Peels

    A chemical peel involves the use of mild to strong facial acids to remove the epidermis and thus helps in faster collagen production and skin rejuvenation. Once the peel is applied, the outer layers of the skin either comes off immediately or over some time giving way to fresh and healthy skin from beneath. Depending upon the extent of damage that has been done to the skin, the strength of acid/chemical being used is varied. Remember that post care after a chemical peel treatment is very important.

    Intense Pulse Light Therapy

    A non-ablative laser therapy, an IPL involves directing high intensity laser pulses at the targeted areas. Given the fact that it is concentrated on specific areas, the overall effectiveness of this treatment is way more than the others. In addition to hyperpigmentation, IPL can also treat wrinkles, spider veins and enlarged pores.

    Laser skin resurfacing

    Last come the laser skin resurfacing technique. This treatment can involve the usage of ablative or non-ablative lasers depending upon the extent of damage done to the skin. The method is standard and involves targeting the laser beam at the target spots in order to break down the pigments which then get removed through the usual bodily systems.

    There can be several combinations which a dermatologist may prescribe to a patient depending upon their requirement. However, the word of caution here is that even though there would be multiple salons or clinics offering these treatments, one should always opt for a experienced and certified dermatologist. The treatments used are medical in nature and hence if anything goes wrong or is done carelessly, the damage would be way more than what the benefit intended was.

    Hence, choose your dermatologist wisely.

  • 6 ways to get a perfect body with cosmetic procedures

    However, we have come a long way from that. Not just are women embracing the fact that they prefer looking good and if that requires undergoing any feature correction, they would not shy away from that, even men have started embracing several of the available cosmetic
    procedures to enhance their looks or in some cases, just to look fit.

    Now, while cosmetic procedures have become commonplace, another range of events which is finding quick acceptance amongst the masses are the body sculpting treatments.

    This blog lists 8 such treatments which one can undergo to get the perfect skin and body.

    Face Lifts

    One of the most common cosmetic procedures when it comes to facial correction. Facelifts are especially effective when it comes to anti-aging. This is because they tighten up the loose skin and give it a youthful look. The face lifts can be both surgical as well as non-
    surgical depending upon the kind of effect one is looking at

    Tissue Tightening

    A more generic term which covers face lifts too. Tissue tightening is not just restricted to the face and can be done over any of the body part which has a skin sag. The tightening gives the skin and the body in general a very taut and youthful appearance. This procedure again
    can be both surgical as well as non-surgical

    Liposuction

    A surgical procedure, liposuction is used to remove fat from the target areas such as upper arms, hips, outer thighs, abdomen, mid back, buttocks, knees, neck and chin. Liposuction may be performed alone or with plastic surgery procedures such as a face and neck lift, breast reduction or tummy tuck.

    Lipodissolve

    A non-surgical procedure with hardly any downtime. Lipodissolve aims at dissolving the fat stored within the fat cells and then having them flushed out of the body through the usual excretion processes.

    Lipodissolve is better than liposuction in the sense that it treats the cellulite and the results look more natural because of the absence of the loosened skin which remained after liposuction.

    Ultralipo

    This treatment is carried out by exposing fatty areas to low frequency ultrasound which creates micro bubbles in the fat tissues by applying combinations of varying pressure and temperature. The cavitations thus created break the fat cells, the residue thus being taken out overtime through the lymphatic system, sweating and through the urinary tract.

    Butt and Breast Augmentation/Reduction

    A lot of females prefer bigger and bustier breasts and buttocks. The advancements in technology have made it possible to make such dreams a reality. It is not always about increasing the size, sometimes, some people prefer having their breasts/buttocks reduced as well because of either medical or aesthetic implications. It might seem surprising but majority of clients opting for breast reduction surgery these days are males who prefer getting rid of the male breasts that develop on account of excess fat.

  • Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Electrolysis Hair Removal

    We have, in our previous blogs talked a lot about Laser Hair Removal. Electrolysis as a topic however remains largely untouched. This blog piece thus talks about electrolysis for hair removal.

    Hope it would help you make an informed choice.

    How does electrolysis work?

    The process involves insertion of a metal needle into the hair follicle. An electric current is then passed to destruct the follicle in order to prevent hair regrowth. Post this, each of the hairs is probed individually and removed

    How many treatments are usually required?

    The number of sessions would usually vary with the individual given their hair density, hair thickness, size of the area to be treated among other factors. A treatment-given the kind of precision that is required lasts between 15-30 minutes at max. In about 8-12 months, one can expect completion of the entire body hair removal.

    Do the hair grow back or is it a permanent procedure?

    Mostly hair do not regrow, this is because the hair follicle is damaged. However, some of the hair which are in their growth phase will show up but will then be removed later. That is why we said that within a period of 8-12 months, one will be completely hair free.

    Can Electrolysis be used on all body parts?

    The areas that are treated most commonly by electrolysis include the hairline, eyebrows, cheeks, sideburn area, upper and lower lip, chin, throat, neck, breasts, underarms, stomach, bikini line, feet and toes.

    Any precautions to be taken before undertaking the procedure?

    The precautions are more or less the same as those for laser hair removal.

    Put a pause to your waxing schedule.
    Do not start with any new skin treatment regimen for the areas to be treated .
    Make sure that you have yourself tested for metal allergies.
    Is the treatment painful?

    Most patients who undertake hair removal by electrolysis experience a mild tingling sensation. This is uncomfortable but most do not consider it to be unbearable. However, in case one does find the pain unbearable (which is not the case mostly), anesthesia can be
    given.

    Are there any side effects?

    No side effects have been reported till date and this procedure is completely safe. One needs to make sure you get it done by a certified practitioner only.

  • 7 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Laser Tattoo Removal

    However, with the changed emotions or situations come the regret of not having thought through the decision of actually getting the tattoo. Had we lived some 20-25 years ago, it would have become a life-long regret but now that we have laser tattoo removal, it has become easier to erase the mistakes of our past.

    This blog is dedicated to talking about a few myths which surround the process of Laser tattoo removal. So, read on and clear those doubts and in case you have some more, do write back to us or simply drop in a message in the chat window below.

    Myth #1: Black Ink Is Impossible To Remove

    The darker the ink, the easier it is to remove because Laser works by targeting the pigment. Since the color black absorbs all wavelengths, the laser is able to break it up completely and extremely efficiently.

    Myth #2: The treatment Burns the Skin

    Lasers are extremely accurate and only target ink, also the wavelength is carefully determined to suit the requirements and hence burning is completely avoided.

    Myth #3: Treatment duration is usually very long

    Not necessarily, the treatment duration depends entirely on the complexity of your tattoo and the kind of time you would want to devote to each session. Hence, it can be a lunch-time procedure too and with almost negligible downtime, you can go anytime and have the tattoo removed.

    Myth #4: The treatments need to be taken frequently and regularly

    Multiple sittings might be required owing to the complexity of the tattoo but the sessions can be scheduled as per your convenience because unlike most dermatological treatments, laser tattoo removal isn’t a medical treatment. It is a simple procedure which just needs to be done till the tatoo is completely removed and since it is the dyes that have to be removed, it would not be a situation that the skin starts colouring itself..

    Myth #5: Anyone can do laser tattoo removal

    One needs to understand that laser if wielded wrong can do significant damage to the skin. Hence, though the lesser prices of the multiple salons will entice you, always go to a seasoned dermatologist if you want a safe and hassle free laser removal.

    Myth #6: Anyone can get tattoo removal done

    Not everyone is an ideal candidate for laser removal. The laser targets pigment that’s in the dye, but at the same time, it can also target melanin in your skin. So, the darker the skin, the more complicated it becomes to utilize a laser to remove the tattoo.

    Myth #7: Laser Tattoo Removal Causes Scarring

    Extremely wrong considering lasers are actually the go to treatments for treating scars. The wavelength of the lasers are pre-determined as per standard experiments done and hence the chances of scarring are zero .

  • Healthy Simple Ways to brighten Up Your Skin

    Here are some such routines that one can follow :

    Consider Your Water

    As cliché as it may sound, watching out on your water intake ensures that your skin remains supple. Not just that, adequate water intake also helps to ensure a smoother functioning of your internal systems thus maintaining that you remain healthy in general. And, what would be an ideal quantity of water to take- the quantity which keeps you hydrated and doesn’t result in frequent loo breaks.

    Drink Green Tea

    A great source of antioxidants, green tea’s anti-inflammatory properties prevent any form of collagen destruction due to the harshness of the environmental pollutants as well as boosts the skin’s immunity against the harmful UV rays. Our suggestion would be to take it once in the morning and if you feel the need to then once in the evening around your usual tea time.

    Improve Your Air Quality

    One cannot do a lot about the pollutants outside but when inside, having an air purifier can be of significant help. Now, some of our readers might think that how can the air inside be polluted? The air that circulates inside is basically coming from the outdoors. Breathing in purified air assumes even more importance considering the skin recuperates the most during night and a purified pollutant free air will help the skin even further.

    Check Your Medicine Cabinet

    Make sure that you do not take random anti-biotics or medicines just because you read about them on some website. Always, consult a doctor before trying on any new regime, even when it comes to topical creams. This is because, not every cream or medicine is suited for everyone. This is the reason why even doctors tell you to intimate them immediately if you notice any side effects.

    Quit smoking

    This goes without saying. Smoking not just damages your lungs, it also increases the content of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream which makes your skin look dull and patchy. Eat foods with antioxidants Try out foods like blueberries, pomegranates, acai berries, spinach, purple grapes and even dark chocolates to get enough antioxidants for your body. Eating foods rich in Vitamin C not only facilitate anti-aging but also boosts the collagen generation in the body.

    Try and be Stress Free

    Stress acts as a depressant for your bodily systems and hence makes you look dull and tired. Engage in activities such as yoga or meditation or even your hobbies and try to minimise stress. Confiding in your friends and family can help too. Destress yourself because a happy you is a healthy you.

  • What is Glutathione and Why Do You Need it?

    For instance, let us take the case of fairness creams. Almost all such creams guarantee in their ads that they can result in lightening the skin tone by at least two shades in a matter of two weeks- a claim that is supremely false even if we take the ideal application scenario where no further skin damage is happening and the skin’s quality remains at least the same as what it was at the time of first application.

    The reason is that darkness/dullness of the skin comes from melanin deposition- a process that happens below the visible skin layers and not on the surface of it. Hence, any solution that acts on the surface of the skin will have hardly any affect. In addition to this some fairness creams are also known to have bleaching agents which give a temporary lightening effect to the skin in the short run however, application of the same over time can damage the skin quality significantly.

    Next in the line of skin lightening treatments come home remedies. Be it application of turmeric or aloe vera or certain home-made face packs, the logic defining the effectiveness remains the same- any superficial application will not yield any results because the root
    cause lies below the skin.

    In such a case, what options does one have if one wants an effective and long lasting skin lightening solution?Lasers and Glutathione treatment which act at the skin depths are two viable solutions; this blog touches on the topic of Glutathione and its effectiveness.

    What is Glutathione?

    We can take the scientific route and explain the biological and chemical composition of glutathione but to make things easy, let us say that Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced inside our body which facilitates the immunity boost of the body in general and is involved in the building of body tissues & their repair. In addition to this, Glutathione is also responsible for maintaining the levels of Vitamin C and Vitamin E in the body and makes the harmful chemicals and toxins in the body water-soluble thus facilitating their easier excretion.

    Why do we need it?

    The key reason which makes glutathione one of the most effective skin lightening solutions is the fact that it is synthesized naturally. Thus, even if taken externally, the composition being same as the one produced within the body helps in the ingestion facing very little resistance. This is because the internal systems regard the ingested glutathione similar to the glutathione already present in the body

    Glutathione can be taken in both oral form as shots or as injections. Many dermatologists prefer Glutathione over lasers when it comes to the skin lightening of the entire body. This is because, the glutathione option turns out to be not just economic but also has barely any side effects , irrespective of how sensitive the skin is. One can have side effects only when glutathione is taken in an incorrect manner or wrong quantities.

    For skin lightening , Glutathione works in the following ways:

    1. Glutathione prevents cell damage due to the harmful free radicals :
    Glutathione is one of the most powerful anti-oxidants produced in our body. Due to its anti-oxidant properties, it can easily fight off the damage due to the external environment

    2. Glutathione is anti ageing in nature :
    With age the levels of glutathione in the body reduce . Without the protection of Glutathione the body & the cells age faster. Replenishing glutathione becomes crucial if you are looking to maintain younger looking glowing skin .

    3. Glutathione helps in Skin lightening :
    When taken in the right amount/dosage , glutathione helps reduce the dark melanin pigment converting them to lighter pigments and therefore making the skin brighter & lighter and more even toned. Also, the fact that it helps in maintaining the Vitamin C levels in the blood, further facilitate its skin lightening properties

    4. Helps maintain healthy glowing skin
    All in all, even if one doesn’t want to go for a skin lightening/whitening treatment, glutathione can be key to a naturally glowing healthy skin with the bonus being that no chemicals are intook. All that is taken in, in the case of Glutathione is completely natural and natural is definitely the way for a sustainable skin regime.

  • How is liposuction done? And when can I expect the results.

    We are not really surprised at such an onset of questions because considering the high level of involvement and life long consequences that this procedure entails, it is only natural for the interested candidates to be curious about the level of comfort or discomfort that comes along.Hence, in this blog we will be explaining about how the process works.

    Let us have a look at the two types of liposuction processes. Though the basic remains essentially the same, yet there are minute differences in the way these fat loss procedures are undertaken.

    • The first of these is Tumescent Liposuction. This technique involves the surgeon injecting a solution into the fatty areas before the fat removal is undertaken. The solution consists of a saline solution, a mild painkiller and epinephrine- the drug responsible for contracting the blood vessels. This solution helps in easier fat removal as well as assists in lowering the procedural blood loss and lesser pain sensation during the surgery.

    • The other type of Liposuction is Ultrasound assisted Liposuction which involves usage of ultrasounds to liquefy the fat.

    How Liposuction is Done?

    Depending upon which of the aforementioned techniques is used, the process can be surgical or outpatient. However, considering that usually the quantum of fat to be removed is high, the process is known to have more of a surgical nature.
    The procedure involves the following steps:
    ? The procedure starts with giving anesthesia to the patient. The anesthesia can be given locally or the application can be general depending upon how much of the fat removal needs to be done in the sitting
    ? Post the patient is under the effect of anesthesia, the procedure is performed using a small suction device which is attached to a cannula (a small stainless steel instrument).
    ? The cannula is inserted into the areas to be treated using small incisions made between the skin and the muscle. The suction then happens using the suction device attached to the cannula

    The time taken for the procedure depends upon the amount of fat that needs to be removed. The process of fat cell removal undertaken during liposuction is permanent and hence, the treated areas will experience hardly any weight gain.
    However, that does not mean that liposuction will prevent fat gain in other areas of the body. It is thus important that one maintains a healthy lifestyle to avoid unnecessary gain of fat.

    The Results

    There is some initial swelling after the procedure. This swelling takes about 3-4 weeks to subside. Because of this, some patients tend to feel bloated or heavier in the initial days. However, we must emphasize here that this swelling is just temporary. Sometimes, the surgeon may leave some incisions open as well to facilitate fluid drainage hence resulting in faster recuperation from the swelling.

    Final results can take anywhere between 6 to 12 months to show fully. However, most patients start seeing the difference within the first two months from the procedure itself.

  • 10 misconceptions about hair transplant treatment

    But, with every growing awareness, thanks to the information deluge on the internet, a lot of myths come into picture too. A lot of such myths then get spread by either word of mouth of especially influencers or even acquaintances and end up perpetuating false fears in the minds of people. It is thus advisable that one should talk to their doctor first before taking any decision on their own.

    However, to help you with an expert opinion, we will talk about 10 such misconceptions about Hair Transplantation in this blog.

    Hair Transplants is not effective

    One of the most common myths about any technology or treatment is that it might not be as effective as it is touted to be. Hair Transplant is no exception either. One reason why this myth does rounds is that the effects of hair transplant show gradually and not at once. There is a definitive cycle that gets followed up before normal hair growth is seen and this might take 2-6 months. However, once it is done, the hair grow as naturally as they could.

    The Hair Growth after a transplant looks Artificial

    This is another major concern which prevents a lot of people from taking up the procedure. However this is completely untrue. This is because the procedure involves transplantation of natural hair follicles from the donor site of the body to the receptor site and the same
    follicles which were growing hair elsewhere would not produce hair at the new site. Hence, the resultant hair growth is going to be natural

    Hair Transplant is only for Males

    Not at all! Just like hair fall is common to both genders, so is hair transplant. Nothing in the procedure is such that it makes it specific to one gender.

    The Transplanted Hair does not Grow

    Once the hair transplant is done, the hair follow the usual growth cycle i.e. they get produced from the follicles, grow, mature and then die followed by growth of a new hair from the same follicle. Just like the hair from the other part of the body or the scalp in specific will grow, a transplanted hair will also follow the exactly same cycle.

    Hair Transplant has a lot of side effects and isn’t safe

    Not true. It is a common myth that hair transplant causes migraines, which scientifically speaking is not possible at all because Hair transplant is a procedure that is performed primarily on the surface of the scalp while migraines are more about nerves, none of which
    are touched during the transplant procedure. All in all, the procedure is completely safe, and while hair transplant side effects are generally minimal and rare, no serious side effects have been reported to date.

    One needs medication to make sure Hair Transplant shows good results

    Not necessarily, it is not a standard thing to go by. Some people might need some but then it is very case specific and not related to the procedure. Once done, the procedure is as effective as it gets and needs no medicational support.

    The transplanted hair fall off after a while

    Yes, but that is because this is a part of the usual hair transplant performance cycle. This isn’t a permanent effect of the procedure. Once the follicles get transplanted to a different site, the hair in these follicles receive a shock which results in them falling off. However,
    post this, new growth takes place in the same follicles and the growth cycle

    The transplanted hair cannot be washed

    Once the transplant is done, the hair that grow are natural and hence whatever one does with the rest of the hair on their body, the same can be done with the post transplant hair as well.

    The Hair Transplant procedure is very painful

    No, because usually anaesthesia is given to the person before the procedure as a preventive measure. Hence, almost no discomfort or pain is felt throughout the procedure.

    The procedure can not be done on people who have been bald for long

    Another major myth, hair transplant can be done on anyone who has active hair follicles and a receptor site. We hope this will help you. However, if you have any other query, please feel free to call us.

  • HAIR CARE MYTHS BUSTED!!

    In this phase of the ever-swarming beauty industry, there are times when we are fed with the wrong information. Nevertheless, dichotomizing from hair fallacies from its facts will only benefit you to focus on information that will actually help your hair grow healthier and finer. Here are a few myths about your hair, and how you can utilize its truth for your gorgeous hair care.

    Chopping your hair frequently makes it grow faster.

    Busted: Your hair growth is determined by the follicles in your scalp. Trimming your hair doesn’t affect hair growth in any way. However, frayed ends make your hair look thinner at the ends and short. When you cut them off, your hair looks fuller and adequate. Regular trims help to keep the ends of your hair healthy and if you are planning on growing your hair longer, it is suggested to trim your hair every three months at a minimum.

    Brushing your hair often makes it healthy.

    Busted: It is said that the more you brush your hair, the healthier it gets. There is definitely no value in brushing your hair more than you already do because brushing your hair inordinate number of times can do more harm than good. Over-brushing can ruin your hair’s cuticles and it also damages your hair’s outer protective layer by creating friction and breakage over time.

    Air drying is healthier than blow drying.

    Busted: Undoubtedly excessive heat can damage your hair, but using a dryer on its lowest heat setting isn’t that bad. However, research has found out that exposing your hair to water for a long period of time can swell up the interiors and cause deeper damage within the strands. Hence, air drying can cause more damage than blow drying your hair.

    Plucking your grey hair will increase its growth.

    Busted: Don’t pluck your grey hair! Two will grow in the place of one. How many times haven’t we heard this phrase? Actually, there is no harm in plucking your grey hair. Grey hair growth is induced by the follicle beneath the skin. Pulling out one grey hair will not generate more grey hair growth as one follicle will not affect the others around it. However, pulling out too much makes your hair weaker over time and it is advised to not pluck your hair. Time to celebrate your silvers or book an appointment with a hair colorist.

    Cold water hair wash makes it shinier.

    Busted: Dousing cold water on your hair will have no effect on the texture of your tresses. To boost the shine and health of your hair, you can use conditioners and hair spa treatments to smoothen the cuticle. Using a moisturizing mask or any other hair treatment every fortnight maintains your hair strong and smooth.

    These were a few popular hair myths debunked. We hope this helps and you can keep your tresses healthy and dazzling.

  • 7 Reasons Why You Should Try Electrolysis For Hair Removal

    The 7 key points to know about electrolysis

    #1: This procedure is FDA approved and can be used to treat most areas of your body. It is great for removing hair from areas like chin, upper lip, eyebrows, jawline, abdomen, breasts, bikini line and legs.

    #2: In electrolysis the hair follicle is killed heat energy. There are two types of electrolysis – galvanic and thermolysis. In Galvanic, small electric charge is sent to the follicle to kill it. It is a proven method and is very safe; can be used around curved or curly hair follicles. In Thermolysis, a shortwave radio frequency is transmitted to the follicle which gets heated and killed. It shows very fast results and is a faster method.

    #3: An epilator like device is applied to the skin, areas with live hair follicle, and then the radio frequency/electric current is passed on to the area to kill the follicles. This causes the existing hair to fall out, and future growth is inhibited.

    #4: Unlike in laser, where dark hair has better chance of getting removed, electrolysis can be used to remove hair of any colour and quality. Currently a blend of galvanic and thermolysis is used to remove hair depending on hair type.

    #5: You will need multiple sessions to remove hair completely. The total number of sessions will depend on the hair growth factor. It varies from person to person. It also depends on the area from where the hair is being removed.

    #6: Instances of hair regrowth is lesser than in laser hair removal system. However, total time taken for hair removal might be little longer in the electrolysis procedure.

    #7: Electrolysis does minimal damage to the skin tissue, and healing takes place very fast. You might feel little skin sensitivity and tingling for a day, which can be dealt with easily with the right aftercare.

    Choose the right professional

    Since electrolysis impacts the skin, so it is important that you seek the advice of a professional trained and certified in the electrolysis procedures. It is important you do your research on the method and the centres that offer these services. Take counselling session with the electrologist or a cosmetologist to understand the procedure and sessions that you might need. Based on all these, decide on the service and the service provider.
