Dandruff is a scaly condition of scalp with out redness.There are lot of skin conditions which should be ruled out before coming to a conclusion that it is dandruff. Some of the conditions that people often get confused with dandruff is psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, fungal infections of scalp.

Laser Hair Removal by Aura Skin Clinic , Vizag

As vizag city is turning cosmopolitan, frequency of cosmetic procedures have taken up. laser hair removal is become one of the most common cosmetic procedures in india. 

At Aura Skin Clinic we have advanced DIODE laser which is FDA approved and its operated by a certified Dermatologist. 




Below are some of the frequently asked questions about laser hair removal....?


How does it work ?

During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth.
How long does it take?


Some individuals will see very long term hair removal which may last for many years. Others may require maintenance treatments over time to maintain their degree of hair loss. It is truly impossible to determine in advance who will require how many treatments and how long the hair will remain gone. As stated above, laser hair removal works best in those with dark hairs on lighter skin, however newer technologies and newer lasers and light sources have made the procedure safe and effective in those with darker skin and those individuals of color.



How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal ?
Avoid deep tanning (tanning beds, tanning creams), four to six weeks prior to the treatment. If you must go in the sun, use a sunscreen SPF 25 or greater. We require that all patients to wet shave 24 hours prior to the appointed time for the hair to stay in the hair follicle.
Post-Treatment Instructions:

Immediately after the treatment there may be redness and bumps at the treatment site, which will last up to two hours or longer.

It is normal for the treated area to feel like sunburn for a few hours. You may use a cold compress, aloe-vera gel, or 1-% hydrocortisone if needed.

Makeup may be used after the treatment, just make sure that you have moisturizer on under your makeup. In fact moisturizer will help the dead hair exfoliate from the follicle so use moisturizer frequently and freely on the treated area.

Avoid sun exposure for four to six weeks after the treatment to reduce the chance of dark and light spots. Use sunscreen SPF 25 or greater at all times throughout the course of the treatment.

Do not use any other forms of hair removal methods or products on the treated area during the course of the laser treatment (tweezing, waxing and depilatories), as it will prevent you from achieving your best results. You may shave the area if needed.

Anywhere from five to fourteen days after the treatment, shedding of the hair may occur and this may appear as new hair growth. This is not new hair growth, but dead hair pushing its way out of the follicle.

It is important for you to let us know how long the redness has lasted after treatment when significant hair growth was noticed in the area. This information will help us to individualise treatment and achieve optimal results for you.

Possible risks

As with any treatment, there are risks associated with it, though they are minimized in the hands of a qualified ASDS dermatologist. These include:

Pain
Blisters
Burns
Skin pigmentation problems
Scarring

Moisturize your skin daily to keep it soft and supple.and do not use hard detergents.

Use Sunscreen liberally and reapply every 3 hours and don’t bother having that white precipitate on the face. you can choose a broad spectrum sunscreen.

Its time to bring out your hats and umbrellas as they give a good sun protection.

If you get redness or sunburn just apply plain calamine lotion that will help in soothing the skin.

In the long run,UV light causes photo-aging in the form of brown spots, coarse skin and wrinkles, whether you have burned your skin or not. When sunlight comes in contact with skin a cascade of damage results (including the stripping of barrier lipids) causing inflammation, production of reactive oxygen molecules that affect healthy cell growth, and stimulation of collagen destructing enzymes. At Aura Skin Clinic we offer all kinds of treatment for photo-aging.

Enjoy your summer now....

Dark Circles & Tips on Improvement by Dr.Sravani Sandhya, Aura Skin Clinic Vizag


when someone promises you that dark circles can be completely treated, think twice!!! Dark circles cannot be treated completely but we can be improved with the latest treatments available…




what are dark circles?


Dark circles under the eyes (DC) are defined as bilateral, round, homogeneous pigmenion below the eyes.After exhaustive research and discussions with medical experts, we have found that your solution won't be found in a specialty product labeled with miraculous claims or a miracle ingredient. 
Some of the factors are:

• Sun damage

• Leakage of  capillaries and deposition of heme.

• Post inflammatory pigmentation secondary to Irritants and Allergens.

• Genetic trait for having darker color around or under the eye area

• Shadowing due to skin laxity.

• Buildup of dry, damaged skin cells around the eyes, causing light to reflect poorly.

 

 How can i improve Dark Circles?


Always keep in mind that for some people, getting rid of dark circles

entirely just isn't possible, so keep your expectations reasonable.

• Use a lightweight moisturizer with sunscreen (SPF 25 or greater) under the eye area every day(the overproduction of melanin that can make dark circles worse).This is a hugely important step that shouldn't be ignored!

• Always wear sunglasses outdoors.

• Use a more emollient moisturizer at night.

• Foundation and concealer will be of great help.

• Skin lightening creams can be tried.

 

 Medical options:

• Dermal fillers, lasers, light treatments, radio frequency treatments, and chemical peels for lightening dark circles and reducing wrinkles,

• Q-switched ruby laser is the most common choice for treating dark circles which are available in Aura skin and hair clinic.
