Cosmetic techniques and management

The new generation of beauty treatment are less invasive, time consuming and lot more effective.

Dermaroller
The derma roller is a hand-held device that consists of a small roller embedded with needles. It gives your face an instant plumping. It reduces fine lines, gets rid of blotches, visible veins and scars, making your skin look more youthful. It reduces the risk of scarring and pigmentation.

The dermatologist manually moves the roller over your skin. You can opt for a numbing cream or a local anaesthetic. There is surface bleeding for few minutes, is similar to exfoliation. The result is fresher, plumper look.
The redness and swelling may take five to seven days to disappear, depending on your skin type. You have to stay away from harsh sunlight for two weeks.

Thread lift
Thread lift makes you look five to seven years younger without wielding a knife.
Pinhole incisions are made along the hairline. A special thread called contour thread is inserted into these incisions till it reaches the subcutaneous layer of the skin. The thread is then pulled up to make the skin taut.

There is usually some minor swelling and takes two three days to subside and also they are advised not to chew any hard substance for a week. Facials and saunas are totally out as they tend to open up the pores. Overall the risks are minimal. But the thread lift is not advised to those prone to allergies and those suffering form connective tissue diseases.

Injection lipolysis
This is a non-invasive method of getting rid of fat deposits and you can walk out of the clinic in less than 30 minutes.
Chemicals which break down fat cells are injected into desired areas. No stitches, no bleeding and you are done.

The chemical work within the system and the result can take two or four weeks to show. This procedure is not advisable for pregnant and breast-feeding women and those suffering from neuromuscular disorders.

Botox reshaping
If you want to alter your nose, then this procedure might interest you. Its non invasive, no cutting up and stitching, no scraping of the nose cartilage. Just a shot of botox.

Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for the nasal flare. They get stretched out, thereby reshaping the nose.
Just a few hours and you can go back to life.
Once again, it is not recommended for pregnant, breast feeding woman and those suffering from neuromuscular disorders.
