SKIN ANALYSIS
The first step in professional treatment is analyzing and determining your skin type. There are four basic skin types- dry, oily, combination, sensitive. People can have other characteristics different from their skin type as an oily skin can have surface dehydration. Therefore it is necessary to properly analyse the skin to ensure proper diagnosis and recommendation.
Dermascopy is skin surface microscopy done using a dermascope which is a simple hand held device.It allows visualization of changes in the skin, hair and nail which would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.
MICRODERMABRASION
Safe option with no downtime for treatment of scars anywhere on the body. It can be combined with other procedures for quicker results. Useful in treating acne scars, sun damaged skin, fine lines, open pores and stretch marks.
The parts of the body that can be treated is not only the face but the entire body can be treated. It is a superficial rejuvenating technique in which the skin is treated with aluminum oxide crystals, water or products such as vitamin C depending on the skin conditions of the individual.
Microdermabrasion is used to remove scars, blemishes and rough skin leaving the skin smooth, even toned and radiant.
CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin. In this treatment a chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes the skin to get rid of undesirable changes that may have taken place such as pimples, pigmentation and wrinkles.
Depth of the peeling (Superficial, medium or deep) is chosen considering type of skin, damage done to skin & desired results.
During a chemical peel most patients experience a warm to hot sensation that may last for 2 – 3 minutes and maybe followed by some stinging. There are lunch time peels which permit the individual to go back to work immediately after the procedure without any special precaution except use of sunscreen. Deeper peels may require medications, special precautions, and may require a longer recovery time.
MESOBOTOX
It is also called Microbotox.
Small quantities of highly diluted botox is injected into the superficial layers of skin to get desired result. This involves using special meso needles to deliver minute quantities of the substance into the skin. The skin is numbed using a topical anaesthetic cream to make the procedure painless. The individual can return to work immediately after procedure.
Mesobotox can be used to treat open pores, very fine lines or crinkling of skin seen with aging. Mesobotox has the added advantage of decreasing sweat and oil production in the skin and gives the skin a shiny appearance.
After a series of three sessions, the procedure can be repeated once in 6 months to maintain the achieved results.
FILLERS – FACE SCULPTING
Fillers can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, or improve the appearance of recessed scars.The visible signs of facial aging occur over time as a result of sun exposure, heredity and life style.
One of the earliest signs of aging is a loss of facial fullness and the development of wrinkles. Softening of these facial lines and the restoration of volume and fullness in the face often can be achieved non-surgically with injectable fillers.
MESOTHERAPY
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical medical technique which was first introduced in France over 50 years ago. It is a virtually painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medications and amino acids placed just under the surface of the skin to deliver corrective treatment to a specific area. With the skin as the direct vehicle by which the body receives its treatment, quick results are achieved
The common applications of mesotherapy:
- spot weight reduction
- Hair loss
- scar revision
- Cellulite reduction
- Wrinkle elimination
Electroporation
Electroporation is a very effective method for delivery of drugs into the dermis of the skin using electrical impulses which improve the permeability of the cell membrane. By this method many substances can be delivered transdermally.
Electroporation is done for:
- Skin lightening
- Anti aging
- Skin hydration
- Skin rejuvenation
- Wrinkle elimination
Iontophoresis
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical medical technique which was first introduced in France over 50 years ago.

With the skin as the direct vehicle by which the body receives its treatment, quick results are achieved
The common applications of mesotherapy:
- spot weight reduction
- Hair loss
- scar revision
- Cellulite reduction

PRP
PRP is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, meaning it comes from the patient’s own body, PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines that promote tissue repair, capillary formation, and collagen production. PRP can be used in isolation or as an adjunct to other procedures. This is an effective way to enhance hair growth especially for more stubborn areas of hair loss i.e. receding hairline and crown.
The process involves the collection of whole blood which is centrifuged to separate the PRP from RBC’s. The PRP is then used either by multiple micro injections given on the scalp or by application post dermaroller.
Electrosurgery
It is an easy, cost-effective way of removing most unwanted benign and cancerous skin lesions. This procedure employs electrically generated heat using state-of-the-art devices. The origin of electro surgery dates back to 1889, when Thompson used alternating current to produce heat in tissues without harming the human body.
With electrosurgery, treatment is painless, no bleeding, and no stitching. Many skin growths like warts, moles, some birthmarks, freckles, small cysts can be removed within a few minutes, and you can go back to your normal life after the procedure. Home care after the procedure is very simple, and our dermatologist will advise accordingly.
Micro Pigmentation
Micro Pigmentation, also known as permanent camouflage, enhances facial features such as eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips, and masks conditions like scarring and uneven pigmentation. The treatment can also be used to reconstruct the nipple and areola area of the breast.
Since the surface layer of the skin (epidermis) continually undergoes a natural exfoliation process, the color is tattooed on both the surface skin layer and the skin layer below (dermis layer). A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to reduce discomfort. Tiny, metabolically inert pigment granules are implanted below the epidermis. Since it fades with time, a touch-up treatment is usually required periodically.
You can discuss the lightness and darkness options with your doctor. Typically, patients use a lighter color and return for additional treatment to darken the color if needed.

Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Dermaplaning is a quick procedure with few to no adverse effects and has quickly gained popularity. Using a scalpel and a delicate touch, the doctor simply abrades the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes. The top layer of dull dead skin cells are removed along with vellus hair in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of skincare products and creates a flawless canvas for makeup to glide on smoothly.
Dermaroller
Dermaroller treatment is done for treating Acne Scars, Wrinkles, Pigmentation, and Hair loss. This process induces collagen production which is responsible for more strength and elasticity and fills up the depth of pits and thereby reduces the acne scars. The DERMAROLLER has special medical graded stainless steel needles that perforate the scar tissue easily. The scars become softer, leveled out, and in most cases give a natural appearance.
Microneedling with dermarollers on the scalp triggers the body’s wound healing response and helps in the development of new hair follicles. It also stimulates blood circulation and increases nutrient supply to the follicles.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy or light therapy is a form of treatment for skin conditions using artificial light of wavelength same as the ultraviolet part of the sun’s spectrum. In this way, ultraviolet light can be delivered with a higher intensity without the light of all other wavelengths that are present in sunlight, e.g. visible light and infrared. Ultraviolet light reduces inflammation of the skin and can help in various inflammatory skin disorders. During phototherapy, the patient’s skin or just the lesions are exposed to ultraviolet light.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive technique that uses low energy laser beam to reduce undesirable hair from most parts of the body. For all practical purposes laser hair removal results in permanent hair reduction.
The laser beam passes through the patient's skin. The energy is delivered down the hair shaft and is absorbed by hair follicles that are in the active growth phase. This causes follicular damage and reduces hair production by that follicle.
