Laser Hair Reduction Procedure

The signature laser hair reduction procedures at the skin clinic , is based on clinically proven FDA approved laser technologies . With this device, laser light targets the dark pigment of the hair.  A beam of highly concentrated light (laser) is passed over your skin. It heats the hair structure. The intense heat damages the hair follicle called melanin, which causes the hair to drop and stops it from being produced further.

Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP is a promising and safe therapeutic option to promote hair growth. The patients own blood is withdrawn and the components separated by using a centrifugation machine. The plasma that is rich in platelets and growth factors are then injected into multiple areas of the scalp so as to stimulate and provide nourishment for hair growth.

Hair Transplant

Hair loss is a natural process in humans. According to studies, we lose around 50-100 hair follicles per day . It does regenerate again in the same place in a healthy adult . If the hair does not regenerate on its own , then it can lead to pattern baldness or hair loss. This can be because of stress , pollution in the environment , poor diet , hormonal disturbances , nutritional deficiency and so on .

At The Skin Clinic , we evaluate the cause of the hair disorder and suggest medical line of management along with treatments like hair revitalising therapies ,Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP ) treatments and Hair transplant .

Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that takes out hair follicles from one part of the body, called the ‘donor site’, transferred to the bald or balding part of the body known as the ‘recipient site’. The technique is mainly used to treat Androgenic Alopecia .

Types of Hair Transplant?

There are two types of treatment available for hair transplant.

1.Follicular Unit Extraction(FUE)
2.Follicular unit transplantation(FUT)

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE ) -This is the method of Hair transplant surgery in which the trichologist manually removes individual hair follicles from scalp and then implants it to bald or thinning areas of the scalp .

Follicular unit transplantation This is a procedure in which small clusters of hairs or ‘follicular units’ are removed from the donor area of hair in a strip, and inserted into the bald area(recipient area) These are naturally occurring units which if transplanted well, will replicate their natural growth pattern in the recipient area of the scalp.

It’s a very safe procedure if done by an experienced dermatologist / trichologist . It’s a day surgery . There is no need for admission .

Side effects – Mild pain will be experienced by the patients . There are a set of instructions to be followed after procedure . If adhered to correctly , there is good mainatance of hair growth .

Semi Permanent Make Up

Semi Permanent Makeup or Cosmetic Tattooing is the new arena in aesthetic treatments. It involves controlled deposition of pigments into the superficial layers of your skin or mucosa so as to enhance your features.

One of the most popular treatments refers to microblading of eyebrows

Permanent eyebrows

Microblading or Micropigmentation is the newest technique to give your eyebrows a full and defined look. It involves depositing tiny amounts of pigment in the area occupied by your eyebrows to give a natural appearance of eyebrow hair and pigmentation.

What is the procedure?

• A trained professional will evaluate your skin type, face shape and hair colour to determine the shape and thickness of the eyebrows.
• After mapping the eyebrows out in consultation with the client, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied.
• Either microblading, micro pigmentation or a combination of both is done by the professional to give natural fuller looking eyebrows

What are the side-effects?

• Mild swelling and slight discharge from the eyebrows is expected over the first two days.
• The healing process involves scabbing of the eyebrows and an uneven look for the first week after the procedure.

What is the after-care ?

• Washing and excessive sweating over the eyebrows should be avoided for the initial two days post procedure.
• It will take a total of 10-15 days for the eyebrows to heal completely and give the final result.
• A touch up session will be done at 6-8 weeks to correct any colour differences and to ensure long lasting results.

Skin problems during pregnancy

During pregnancy, a woman’s body goes through a multitude of physiological changes. Your skin is also prone to these effects. These changes can affect the skin, especially the cutis [the dermis and the epidermis layers]. Cutaneous changes develop in more than 90% of all pregnant women. These include common cutaneous changes that occur in most cases to severe diseases, some of which are seen exclusively in the pregnancy and postpartum phases.

Some of the common skin problems during pregnancy are:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Skin tags
• Acne
• Melasma [brown patches on the face around the cheeks, nose, and forehead]
• Spider veins
• Varicose veins
• Linea nigra—a dark line that runs from the navel to the pubic region

Other less common skin conditions during pregnancy includes prurigo of pregnancy, pemphigoid gestationis, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).

Prurigo of pregnancy

Prurigo of pregnancy can occur in up to 1 in 300 pregnancies. Prurigo of pregnancy is a benign non-specific pruritic (itchy) rash that arises during pregnancy. Symptoms of prurigo of pregnancy include tiny, itchy bumps resembling insect bites and are typically caused by pregnancy-induced changes to the immune system. It can affect women throughout their pregnancy with symptoms getting worse with each passing day.

Pemphigoid gestationis

Pemphigoid gestationis is a rare pregnancy-associated autoimmune skin disease that is characterized by an itchy rash that develops into blisters. It is most common during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a liver disorder that occurs in pregnant women. This condition causes severe itchiness (pruritus) in the expectant mother. The itchiness usually begins on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet and then spreads to other parts of the body. Occasionally, affected women have yellowing of the skin

Treatment for neck wrinkles, neck tightening & sagging skin

Your neck muscles begin to enlarge and protrude as you age resulting in neck wrinkles and sagging skin. Sometimes, the neck can appear more wrinkled and saggy than the face. To treat aging skin on the skin, we use laser peels with a laser-assisted delivery of skin boosters to rejuvenate the skin. Fillers are also used to even out the deeper neck creases.

The best treatment for neck wrinkles, sagging skin, and aging neck

AHA and BHA peels are derived from fruits, dry fruits and nuts (almonds) or milk. These peels help in the overall rejuvenation of skin by exfoliating dead skin cells, unclogging the pores, and increasing cell turnover. Thus pigmentation is decreased, and remodelling by collagen regeneration occurs.

RevLite laser toning- This laser causes collagen fibers under the skin to vibrate, which in turn leads to a complete restructuring of the collagen network. Immediate results include tighter skin, narrower pores, fading dark spots and reduction of wrinkles.

ResurFX texture improvement- The Lumenis ResurFX treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Typically, about 3 sessions are needed to have visible improvement in the skin texture. But, already after the first treatment, you may notice changes in pores dimensions. Typically, results are achieved after 3-5 sessions in 4-5 weeks intervals. However, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.

UltraPulse CO2 fractional laser resurfacing- Ultra Pulse can penetrate deeper than any aesthetic ablative CO 2 laser. The main advantage of DeepFX and ActiveFX is that results are visible after one single treatment. As your skin heals following the treatment, you will begin to notice an improvement in neck wrinkles, fine lines, tone, and texture. Typically, you should expect to continue to see improvement for up to 18 months following the procedure.

IPL photo facials- Intense Pulse Light (IPL) of different wavelengths suitable to the patient’s skin type and the problem is used to treat superficial pigmentation, neck wrinkles, and sagging skin. 4 treatments at 15-day intervals are followed to get optimal results.

Restoring volume with fillers- Fillers are a natural hyaluronic acid which is injected at desired points, to give support to the ligaments by pulling up the structures attached to it. Fillers can be used to highlight certain features, restore the lost volume of the neck, accentuate the chin and reduce neck wrinkles.

Anti-aging skin treatment is the best treatment for sagging neck skin. It can help individuals with neck sagging but is more ideal for the early neck sagging experienced by people in their 40s and early 50s. This treatment is specifically intended to manage the hanging platysma muscle on the neck. It works by weakening the muscle, especially the hanging edges so that the muscle in the face can provide counter pull and lift the neck upward.

Skin resurfacing and other anti-aging hand treatments

The texture of your hands can degrade owing to the years of exposure to various external elements such as UV radiation, cold temperature or even pollution. You will start noticing the accumulation of sun damage, wrinkles, and dry hands as early as in your late 30’s. The skin on the back of your hands can also begin to appear dull. Fortunately, there are ways to treat dry hands and get effective anti-aging hand treatment.

Treatment for Aging Hands:

The most effective treatment for aging hands/aged hands is UltraPulse CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing and Restoring Volume with fillers.

UltraPulse CO2 Fractional Laser is a magician when it comes to skin resurfacing. This anti-aging hand treatment removes outer layers of the skin to a predetermined depth in order to reduce fine lines, remove wrinkles as well as improve skin tone and texture. The Lumenis UltraPulse CO2 fractional laser creates microscopic channels that trigger the process of new collagen and elastic fibers production while leaving some unaffected skin in between the channels to reduce healing time. The result is deep dermal regeneration that dramatically improves your skin elasticity and appearance. Fractional skin resurfacing is clinically proven to improve the appearance of age spots, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines on hands.

Fillers- As we age (as early as the late 20s), the skin starts losing the strength of the ligaments supporting the superficial fat and other structures. When these ligaments start dropping, they pull down the supporting structures too. Thereby the cheeks sag, eyes droop, become deep-set or tired and a lot of other aging signs. Fillers are a natural hyaluronic acid which is injected at desired points, to give support to the ligaments by pulling up the structures attached to it.

The best pigmentation treatment & wrinkle treatment

Photo Aging is the premature aging of the skin which is caused because of increased exposure to UV radiation. This condition is different from chronological ageing. It takes place due to the damaging effects of UV rays altering normal skin structures. Photo Aging affects visible parts of the body which include your face, neck, and hands. Your lips can also show signs of excessive damage from the sun.

Photo Aging treatments for sun damaged skin includes Fillers as well as Chemical Peel procedures.

At The Skin Clinic, we use a combination of treatments for lightening the pigmentation. We customize the treatments according to the depth of the pigment deposit and the cause of the problem.

After evaluating the case and cause, superficial to medium depth peels are used and combined with laser toning and photo facials. We rotate this with non-ablative procedures to create numerous microscopic ‘holes’ in the skin. Drug delivery of skin boosters such as L-Ascorbic Acid, Niacinamide, and Glutathione is facilitated, to produce a visible lightening of pigmentation.

Just like the skin on your face, your neck and chest regions have certain concerns. Some of the most common neck skin problems and chest skin issues we see among our patients are as follows:

Acanthosis Nigericans is the brownish – blackish velvety thickened skin around the folds of the neck and other body folds. This is most commonly seen in slightly obese individuals. Similar darkening can happen in the underarms and groin regions. It occurs due to an unhealthy stressful lifestyle which causes metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and production of growth factors making the skin thicken in these folds. Treatment includes weight reduction as the first step, dietary modifications and fractional ablative lasers superimposed with pigment reducing Q-switched lasers.

Skin tags are small, soft skin-coloured growths that hang off the skin and look similar to warts. They’re usually found on the neck, armpits, in the groin area or under the breasts. Skin Tags can be removed with the radio frequency cautery. However, if there are too many skin tags, they need to be removed with the superficial mode of UltraPulse Laser

 Cherry angiomas or red moles are common skin growths that can develop on different areas of your body. They are usually spotted on people aged 30 and above. They appear red because of the collection of small blood vessels inside the mole. These can be removed with the vascular laser.

Aged neck is what we term neck skin that is wrinkled and saggy. To rejuvenate skin on the neck, we do a laser peel with a laser-assisted delivery of skin boosters. Fillers are also used to even out the deeper neck creases.

Treatment for Neck & Chest Skin Rejuvenation

Our main treatments to tackle neck and chest skin problems are Alpha Hydroxyl Acid (AHA) & (Beta Hydroxyl Acid) BHA Peels, RevLite Laser Toning, UltraPulse CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing and Laser-assisted drug delivery into the skin for rejuvenation.
