Treatments

Body Contouring (Non-Surgical Fat Reduction) What’s the Procedure: Body contouring refers to non-surgical techniques used to reduce localized fat pockets and tighten skin in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and double chin. Popular methods include Cryolipolysis (fat freezing), RF lipolysis, ultrasonic cavitation, and HIFEM. Mechanism: Injection Lipolysis is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses fat-dissolving injections (commonly deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine) to break down stubborn fat deposits in areas like the double chin, arms, abdomen, or thighs. Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting): Freezes fat cells, causing apoptosis and gradual removal by the body RF and Ultrasound: Heat or vibrate fat cells, breaking them down and stimulating collagen HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic): Contracts muscles and burns fat simultaneously Indications: Localized fat bulges Post-pregnancy belly fat Double chin Arm or thigh fat People who want shaping, not weight loss Anaesthesia Required or Not: No anesthesia required. Some procedures use cooling or gels for comfort. Painful or Not: Mild discomfort or tugging (Cryolipolysis); heat or muscle soreness (RF, HIFEM). No downtime. What to Expect from the Treatment: Inch loss starts becoming visible after 4–6 weeks Gradual fat reduction over 2–3 months 3–6 sessions required based on technology and fat area Results improve with healthy diet and exercise Who Can Do: Ideal for healthy individuals with stubborn fat resistant to diet/exercise. Not a weight loss solution. When It Can Be Done: Any time of year. Common before weddings, events, or beach holidays.

Paring (for Corns and Calluses) What’s the Procedure: Paring is a simple dermatological procedure used to remove thickened, dead skin layers of corns or calluses, providing relief from pain and pressure. Mechanism: Using a sterile scalpel or dermatological blade, the hardened and dead skin over the corn or callus is carefully shaved down to reduce bulk and pain. Sometimes combined with keratolytic creams or occlusive dressings for better results. Indications: Painful corns or calluses Plantar warts (initial diagnosis and relief) Pressure-related thickened skin over feet or toes Recurrent shoe-bite areas Anaesthesia Required or Not: Usually not required. Topical numbing may be used in sensitive cases. Painful or Not: Generally painless unless the corn is deep. Patients usually feel relief after the procedure. What to Expect from the Treatment: Immediate pain relief Recurrence is possible if the root cause (ill-fitting footwear, pressure point) is not corrected Follow-up may involve orthotic advice, medicated pads, or foot care education Who Can Do: Any individual with painful corns or thickened skin over pressure points. Diabetics need careful evaluation. When It Can Be Done: Any time of year. Best done before prolonged standing, travel, or festivities.

Scar Revision What’s the Procedure: Scar revision includes a range of dermatological and minor surgical procedures to improve the appearance of scars, restore function, and enhance skin texture. Mechanism: Based on the scar type, different techniques may be used: Laser (Fractional CO2 or Er:YAG): Smoothens and resurfaces texture Surgical Excision or Z-plasty: Redesigns or removes hypertrophic scars Subcision: Releases tethered scars Microneedling with PRP: Stimulates collagen remodeling Steroid or silicone therapy: Flattens thick scars Indications: Acne scars Post-surgical or trauma scars Hypertrophic or keloid scars Burn scars Depressed or tethered scars Anaesthesia Required or Not: Yes, depending on the procedure—topical or local anesthesia is used. Painful or Not: Minimally painful; numbing ensures comfort. What to Expect from the Treatment: Gradual improvement in texture, thickness, and color of the scar Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results Post-procedure redness or peeling is common Risk of recurrence in keloid-prone individuals Who Can Do: Anyone with visible scars seeking aesthetic improvement. Patients prone to pigmentation need customized care. When It Can Be Done: Ideal during cooler months. Scar treatments require sun protection and patience for results.

Ear Piercing (Dermatologist-Performed) What’s the Procedure: Ear piercing is a minor dermatological procedure to create a hole in the ear lobe or cartilage using sterile, medical-grade equipment to ensure safety and minimize complications. Mechanism: A sterilized, single-use ear-piercing device or a hollow needle is used to create a hole, and a sterile medical-grade stud is inserted. Topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort. Indications: First-time earlobe or cartilage piercing Re-piercing of closed or infected holes Medical-grade piercings in kids, teens, or adults Allergy-prone individuals needing safe, hypoallergenic studs Anaesthesia Required or Not: Topical numbing cream can be used, especially for children or anxious clients.

What to Expect from the Treatment: Clean, quick procedure with minimal pain Medical-grade studs reduce allergic reactions Healing time: 4–6 weeks for earlobes, longer for cartilage Aftercare includes antiseptic cleaning and avoiding changing studs early Who Can Do: Children (as early as 6 months), teens, and adults. Dermatologist-supervised for those prone to keloids or infections. When It Can Be Done: Any time of year. Avoid during active skin infections or immediately before travel.

Photofacial / IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy What’s the Procedure: Photofacial, commonly performed using IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light, allowing it to treat a variety of skin issues simultaneously. Mechanism: IPL emits a broad-spectrum light (500–1200 nm), which penetrates the skin and is absorbed by chromophores such as melanin (in pigmented lesions) and hemoglobin (in vascular lesions). This absorption generates heat, which helps in: Breaking down pigmented cells (for freckles, sun spots) Collapsing superficial blood vessels (for redness, rosacea) Stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen (for anti-aging) The body’s natural healing response removes the damaged cells and remodels collagen, improving overall skin tone and texture. Indications: Uneven skin tone or pigmentation Freckles, sun spots, and age spots Redness and rosacea Acne scars and inflammation Open pores and dull skin Fine lines and photodamage Hair reduction in light-colored hair (in select settings) Anaesthesia Required or Not: Usually not required. A cooling gel is applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort. Numbing cream can be used for sensitive skin types. Painful or Not: Mild discomfort, often described as a rubber-band snap or warm sensation. Tolerable and quick. What to Expect from the Treatment: Improvement in pigmentation, skin tone, and radiance Some redness and mild warmth for a few hours post-treatment Dark spots may temporarily darken and flake off over a few days Best results seen after 3–5 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart No downtime—clients can resume routine activities the same day Works best for fair to light-medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III) Sun protection is essential post-procedure Who Can Do: Men and women looking for even-toned, radiant skin Ideal for people with sun-damaged skin, rosacea, or pigmentation issues Not suitable for very dark skin tones or tanned skin People with active acne or infections should wait for clearance When It Can Be Done: Can be done year-round with appropriate sun protection.

Carbon Peel (Hollywood Peel) What’s the Procedure: Carbon Peel, popularly known as the Hollywood Peel, is a gentle laser treatment combined with a carbon-based lotion to deeply exfoliate, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Mechanism: A carbon lotion is applied on the face and allowed to penetrate pores. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is then passed over the skin, which heats and vaporizes the carbon particles along with dead skin, oil, and impurities. This process stimulates collagen production and shrinks pores. Indications: Oily and acne-prone skin Enlarged pores Dull, uneven skin tone Mild pigmentation Early signs of aging Anaesthesia Required or Not: No anesthesia required. Cooling is often used for comfort. Painful or Not: Mild prickling or warmth. Well tolerated. What to Expect from the Treatment: Immediate glow Smoother skin texture Reduced oiliness No downtime; minimal redness for a few hours Can be done monthly Who Can Do: Safe for all skin types. Ideal for young adults and working professionals needing regular skin maintenance. When It Can Be Done: Any time of year. Great before parties, weddings, and festivals.

Vampire Facial (PRP + Microneedling) What’s the Procedure: The vampire facial is a combination of microneedling followed by the application of PRP (from the patient’s own blood) to rejuvenate skin, improve tone, and reduce signs of aging. Mechanism: Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries. When PRP is applied to these channels, its growth factors penetrate deeper, promoting collagen synthesis, skin repair, and regeneration. Indications: Dull, tired-looking skin Acne scars Fine lines Open pores Pigmentation and uneven skin tone Anaesthesia Required or Not: Yes, topical numbing is required. Painful or Not: Mild discomfort; tolerable with anesthesia. What to Expect from the Treatment: Redness for 1–2 days Glow begins to show in 5–7 days Progressive improvement in skin quality over 3–4 weeks Recommended as a series of 3–4 sessions Who Can Do: Anyone seeking natural skin rejuvenation. Particularly good for early aging signs and acne-scarred skin. When It Can Be Done: Any time of year, with post-procedure sun protection.

Tattoo Removal (Q-Switched Laser) What’s the Procedure: Tattoo removal is a laser-based procedure that breaks down ink particles in the skin using Q-switched lasers, allowing the body to clear them naturally. Mechanism: The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser emits short, high-energy pulses that shatter ink particles without damaging surrounding tissue. Different wavelengths target different ink colors effectively. Indications: Unwanted or old tattoos Name tattoos, cosmetic tattoos Amateur or professional ink Failed microblading or eyebrow tattoos Anaesthesia Required or Not: Topical anesthesia is used to reduce discomfort. Painful or Not: Mild to moderate pain similar to getting a tattoo; cooling and numbing help reduce it. What to Expect from the Treatment: Fading of tattoo begins from the first session Multiple sessions (6–10 or more) required depending on ink depth, color, and skin type mild Redness, swelling, Sunscreen and wound care needed in between Who Can Do: Anyone with unwanted tattoos and realistic expectations. When It Can Be Done: all time of year

Stretch Mark Treatment (Striae Distensae Management) What’s the Procedure: Stretch mark treatment involves a combination of dermatological procedures aimed at reducing the appearance of striae (stretch marks) and improving the overall texture, color, and elasticity of the skin. These marks typically appear as linear streaks on areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, breasts, and arms. Mechanism: Stretch marks occur due to rapid skin stretching (as in pregnancy, weight gain/loss, puberty, or muscle building), causing collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis to break. Treatment targets this dermal injury by stimulating collagen remodeling and improving skin texture. The most effective procedures include: Microneedling (Dermaroller or RF): Creates microchannels to stimulate collagen synthesis. Fractional CO2 Laser or Er:YAG Laser: Resurfaces the skin and enhances collagen remodeling. PRP or GFC Therapy: Platelet-rich plasma or growth factors are infused to support tissue repair. Topical Retinoids & Peptides: Improve early stretch marks by promoting epidermal turnover. Chemical Peels (like TCA or glycolic acid): Help fade discoloration and improve texture. Carboxytherapy or Mesotherapy: Injecting CO2 or nutrients to improve skin elasticity and vascularity. Indications: Red or purple (early inflammatory) stretch marks White or silvery (mature atrophic) stretch marks Post-pregnancy striae Weight loss/gain or gym-induced stretch marks Adolescents with growth-related striae Anaesthesia Required or Not: Topical numbing cream is usually applied before laser, microneedling, or PRP sessions to minimize discomfort. Painful or Not: Mild to moderate discomfort depending on the procedure. Most treatments are well tolerated with numbing. What to Expect from the Treatment: Gradual lightening and narrowing of stretch marks Improved texture, firmness, and skin tone Multiple sessions (4–8) are usually needed over several months Red/purple marks respond better and faster than old white ones Minimal downtime (1–3 days of redness or peeling depending on treatment) Combination approach yields best results Who Can Do: Anyone bothered by visible stretch marks—men or women, post-pregnancy mothers, fitness enthusiasts, adolescents. Early treatment gives better results. When It Can Be Done: Any time of year with proper sun protection.

Q-Switched Nd:YAG Lasers (For Pigmentation, Freckles, Skin Rejuvenation, Birthmarks) What’s the Procedure: Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets pigment in the skin for treating various dermal and epidermal pigmentary concerns. It is also used for skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation. Mechanism: This laser delivers high-energy light in very short pulses that target melanin without harming surrounding skin. The pigment is broken into fine particles and removed by the body’s natural processes. It also stimulates dermal remodeling for improved skin tone. Indications: skin tonning, brightening Melasma, freckles, sunspots Tanning and dullness Birthmarks like café-au-lait macules Nevus of Ota Skin rejuvenation and glow Under-eye dark circles (select cases) Anaesthesia Required or Not: Usually not required. Cooling or numbing cream can be used for sensitive individuals.
