Skin Essence

Post acne scar correction before and after 2 sessions of scar correction procedure

Post acne scar reduction- more than 80 -90% reduction in scars in one session

Before and after chin filler for a young female. Notice how just a ml of filler in the chin could give a beautiful defined jawline to her.

A middle aged patient who was counselled about hair transplant by many dermatologists including myself.

But, he didn't want to go for it. So we started medical and in clinic treatment sessions for hair growth.

And, this is his before and after 💫

Leukoderma/vitiligo- It definitely needs time for the results, but in most of the cases, it is possible to achieve almost complete repigmentation.

White spots are still a taboo in our country especially for a girl child. Though, It's just white patches on skin, it still causes a lot of emotional stress to the patient and the parents.

Laser hair reduction- It's such a boost in confidence of the girl when the thick manly hair on the beard gets reduced to fine hair and ultimately almost becomes negligible.

I love when I get hugs, smiles and laughs after this 💓

But, please do remember
- there aren't any fixed number of sessions because it also depends on one's hormone profile and lifestyle.
- one may need maintenance sessions
- it's laser hair reduction and not removal

Also, laser hair reduction is a science. Do not get it done from salons. The salon guys definitely do not have a scientific background, they do what company guys tell them to do, quite often give inappropriate settings leading to improper results.

Treatment period- 5 months

A gentleman came for white spots on neck. I gave him an oral and application prescription.
He came back after 2 months with few new patches and not much improvement in the existing ones. Clearly , he wasn't happy.
I convinced him to continue the prescription for another 3 months. And, on last follow up, the medicines have clearly worked their magic and the spots are almost gone.

Take home message- Consistency is the key. Skin prescription takes time to work.

Laser hair removal cannot be performed for grey hair. So, after we tackle black hair with laser hair removal, these annoying grey hair keep growing and become a hassle for our patients.

That problem is no more a problem. For grey hair removal, we do electrolysis i.e. burning the grey hair root one by one.

Time taken- depends on the number of hair

Pain- numbing cream is applied an hour prior to procedure which makes it completely painless

Post treatment scarring- negligible

Unexpected results in just 1 month.

I had counselled this patient of male pattern alopecia that he will see result after 3 months, but he came in today for his wife's consultation and showed me his result. And, I was surprised to see the changes 😊

This is the result with only medical (oral and lotion) therapy ✨

Ear keloid- sometimes, simple things can be a cause of embarrassment for people. Here, we had a young girl who got a keloid after ear piercing. And, she had to leave her hair open all the time to hide it.

Treatment done- Surgical removal

Time taken- 30minutes

Healed beautifully without scar after 2 months

Post Chicken pox scars before and after

Early intervention is the best.

As soon as one gets better and completes the isolation period required for chicken pox, one should consult a dermatologist for the scar management.

My morning skin care routine-
ZO self activating vitamin C
Is clinical Sunscreen SPF 50

Loving every bit about them..

ZO vitamin C - haven't come across a vitamin C which is this dry and disappears on skin as soon as it is applied. Perfect for people with oily, acne prone skin or with mask acne.

Is clinical Sunscreen SPF 50 - a physical sunscreen which doesn't leave a white cast. Again, a super good product for dry, acne prone or sensitive skin.

PS- not a sponsored post. I have purchased these products!! 😊
