Basic Skin Care

Skin is the largest organ of the body. Functions of the Skin: • It helps us perceive stimuli such as touch, heat, cold, pain. • It regulates temperature & also helps in the metabolism of vitamin D. • It protects the underlying structures by forming a mechanical barrier & also acts as a UV alter & protects from sun damage. • Factors like pollution, sun rays, stress, irregular food habits, inadequate sleep etc. contribute to skin damage & premature aging of the skin. Thus, it is important to take mair pare of one's skin. Pasie skin care does not inveive use of expan: he cosmetics & ameries. One has to follow a very simple regime for skin • Diet : A well - balanced, regular diet along with adequate amount of water is all that you need, one must avoid so called junk food, too much of starvation in the form of dieting & eating at odd irregular hours. • Exercise : at least 30 minutes of aerobics, walking, jogging or cycling at least 5 times a week is essential for a healthy skin. • Sun protection : UVA & UVB rays could be harsh on the skin & cause photo damage in the form of increased pigmentation, freckles, premature ageing, wrinkling, sagging & even skin cancer. • Photoaging : Photo-pigmentation, wrinkles sagging skin can be delayed with generous use of sun screens. • Use a sun screen with an SPF 30 at least 30 minutes before sun exposure and then every 2 hourly during day time. Higher the SPF better it is as people don't apply adequate amount of sun screen. • Use an umbrella or a broad brimmed hat / cap / scarf for sun protection.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Autologous (patient's own) blood is processed (centrifuged) to separate and form Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP contains various growth factors and cytokines which are useful for healing and regenerative processes such as facial rejuvenation, male and female pattern hair loss, acne scars, post traumatic atrophic scars, wound healing (ulcers), hyperpigmentary conditions (melasma, undereye dark circles).

Skin Grafting

Replacement of the lost skin due to injury, removal of tumours, burns, non-healing ulcer done by transferring autologous (patients own) healthy skin from donor sites. It is carried out as full sheet grafting or as multiple small pinch grafts.

Microneedling or Dermaroller

Microneedling is form of collagen Induction therapy for atrophic scars, rhytides, aging skin & transdermal delivery of various mesotherapy therapeutics.

Acne (Pimples, Blackheads, etc) and Acne Scars

Acne is commonly seen in young adolescents affecting both males and females equally due to hormonal changes occurring at onset of puberty. It not only causes psychological stress to the patient because of its cosmetic disfigurement affecting the face but may also cause withdrawal from social interaction. Long term sequelae include acne scars, keloids, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, etc, thus wanting an early and detailed workup (medical and surgical) for the same. A detailed interactive patient counseling and medical line of treatment is combined with special surgical procedures which include comedon extraction (clean up, removal of black heads, etc), cryoslush, cryoroller, chemical peeling, microdermabrasion and photodynamic therapy with blue light. Adjuvant hormonal therapy is administered for females having acne, androgentic alopecia, hirsutism, obesity, menstrual irregularities to treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOD). Acne scars (pits on the face) are unsightly and of varied types causing cosmetic disfigurement. Acne scar surgery is dependant on the type of scars and these surgical modalities can only reduce and oblivate them. Acne scar surgeries include - chemical peeling, CROSS (chemical reconstruction of skin scars) technique, subcision and undermining, acne scar revision, microneedling with dermaroller, microneedle radio frequency, microdermabrasion, dermabrasion, lasers (fractional, ablative and non-ablative), fillers and autologous fat transplant.

Chemical Cauterization

1) Podophyllin - for condyloma accuminata, plantar warts, superficial epithelioma & keratoses. 2) Trichloroacetic Acid - warts, pyogenic granuloma, molluscum contagiosum, xanthelasma, skin tags, seborrhoeic warts, actinic keratoses, freckles, lentigines, stable vitiligo, post inflammatory depigmentation and icepick / pitted scars. 3) Phenol / Carbolic Acid - As local cauterant for warts, molluscum contagiosum, lichen simplex chronicus, prurigo nodularis, xanthelasma palpebrum, pyogenic granuloma, epidermal cysts, steatocystoma multiplex, earlobe repair (split ear), angiokeratomas, mucous cyst, ingrown toe nail. - As a spot peelant (focal chemical peeling) acne scars, freckles, lentigine, lichen simplex chronicus, stable vitiligo, alopecia areata.
