'hypertrophic lichen planus'

Minute dosages of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts), enzymes and hormones are introduced into the affected areas either manually (micro-injections) or by mesoguns. It is used for facial rejuvenation, (mesoglow), skin tightening (mesolift), hair loss (male and female pattern alopecia), hyperpigmentation (melasma, undereye dark circles) and to treat localized excess fat deposits and cellulite.

Electrical energy is used in the form of electrofulguration / desiccation / coagulation for treating warts, skin tags, milia, seborrheic keratosis acne and its scars and small benign growths. Radiosurgery it is a sophisticated electrosurgical method where radio-frequency waves are used to treat – skin conditions as mentioned in electrosurgery. It also has got additional electrosectioning mode which is used for cutting the tissue and removing moles and small skin tumours with superior aesthetic results.

These are extra tissue growths which are commonly seen after traumatic/ surgical wounding or may follow ear-piercing / idiopathic (keliod only). They are painful, itchy & may get secondarily infected at high recurrence rate. They not only cause cosmetic disfigurement but may also lead to contractures & limb immobility. Surgical modalities include combination techniques such as debulking of tissue with scalpel, Radiofrequency, Liquid Nitrogen Cryosurgery, Laser along with Intralesional injections & silicone pressure dressing / garment.

Vitiligo is a condition in which pigment is lost from part of the skin seen as depigmented (white) patches. Vitiligo has a psychosocial impact in India. Beginning with explanation of the disease and varying treatment modalities available patient counselling and reassurance form an important spectrum management of vitiligo. Medical line of treatment is combined with Ultraviolet A, Narrow Band Ultraviolet B, targeted Narrow Band Ultraviolet B irradiation, Excimer Lamp along with advanced lasers for complete and faster recovery. Non-responsive stationery patches are surgically treated with basic miniature punch grafting, suction blister, therapeutic wounding (needling, phenolization, laser ablation and manual dermabrasion), tattoing to advanced surgeries like Thin Thiersch Skin Grafting, Ultra Thin Skin Grafting, Melanocyte & Keratinocyte cell suspension and follicular unit extraction.

Lasers are high tech instruments used in the field of medicine over the past 50 years. Here the light energy is converted into heat energy to treat variety of skin conditions. In dermatology and cosmetology lasers are used to get rid of unwanted hair, to treat acne and its scars, remove birth marks (vascular and pigmented skin lesions), moles, tattoo, facial pigmentation, vitiligo, psoriasis, hypertrophic scars and keloids, striae, warts, benign skin growths (acrochordon), pre-malignant and malignant skin conditions, excisional surgery, resurfacing and non-ablative facial rejuvenation. It is also used for skin tightening and body contouring. Due to its advanced and sophisticated instrumentation with precise technology the results are aesthetically precise with nil or few side effects. Different types of lasers with their indications are : Long Pulsed Nd:YAG : for unwanted hair (laser hair reduction). Q Switched Nd:YAG : for removal of pigmentary lesions (Naevus of Ota, Melanocytic naevus, etc) and tattoo. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) : for Haemangiomas, port-wine stains, venous malformations, rosacea, telangiectasias, acne scars, facial rejuvenation, facial pigmentation, varicose veins. The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) Lasers : appendageal lesions (trichoepitheliomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, epidermal naevi), facial scars (acne, chicken pox, traumatic), vascular lesions (lymphangioma circumscriptum, angiokeratoma), stable vitiligo (therapeutic adjuvant and before grafting), hyperkeratotic skin lesions (lichen amyloidosis, porokeratosis, verrucous epidermal neavus), pigmentation (melasma, lentigens), pre-malignant and malignant conditions (actinic keratoses, actinic cheilitis, leukoplakia, bowens disease, extra mammary Paget's diseases, erythroplasia of Queyret's, supercial basal cell carcinoma), photoaging, rejuvenation, rhinophyma, xanthelasma, rhytides and wrinkles.

• Dermal Fillers (soft tissue augmentation) for depressed scars, wrinkles, creases, lip sculpting, dermal atrophy, angular cheilitis, periocular melanoses, sunken eyes, AIDs lipodystrophy. • Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) prevention and amelioration of dynamic wrinkles, hyperhidrosis(excessive sweating). • Microdermabrasion - Facial rejuvenation(rough texture, dyschromia, actinic damage, superficial rhytides, comedonal acne, superficial scars. • Electroepilation • Mole Surgery • Ear, Nose & Body Piercing • Earlobe Repair • Decorative Cosmetic Tattooing • Iontophoresis
