WHY LASER EPILATION IS PREFFERED OVER OTHER CONVENTIONAL METHODS? Hair Removal is a time-consuming daily routine for many people. While traditional methods such as waxing, tweezing and shaving are effective for removing the hair, they do not provide long-term solutions for hair removal – never mind all those bumps, nicks and ingrown hairs! Over a decade ago, technological advancements led to the creation of a hair removal system that not only eliminated these annoying problems, but also provided a long-term hair reduction solution: laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is one of the fastest-growing methods of ridding the body of unwanted hair. The appeal of laser hair removal stems from its effectiveness, efficiency and convenience. It can be performed virtually anywhere on the body where you experience unwanted hair growth. Another reason for its popularity is that laser hair removal can result in permanent reduction of the hair. It is, however, important for consumers to

Effect and Benefits of Tattoo Removal

These days tattoos are in fashion, so rises the need of tattoo removal. Most of the people don’t like their tattoos after an average of 3 years and seek ways for removal. Q-Switch laser is one of the best methods of tattoo removal, which leads to the selective destruction of tattoo pigment. This laser has the character of penetration to the depth required without damaging the surrounding skin. Color of tattoo absorbs the energy of laser and gets fractionated into smaller particles which are removed by body. Q-switched lasers are the only commercially available devices that can meet these requirements. We at Dr Walia’s skin clinic use Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser , world renowned DEKA ITALY, which creates a near-infrared, light (invisible to humans) which is poorly absorbed by melanin, making this the only laser suitable for darker skin.

Pigmentation

Pigmentation means colouring. Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin. Others affect your entire body. If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison's disease, and sun exposure all can make your skin darker. If your body makes too little melanin, your skin gets lighter. Vitiligo is a condition that causes patches of light skin. Albinism is a genetic condition affecting a person's skin. A person with albinism may have no color, lighter than normal skin color, or patchy missing skin color. Infections, blisters and burns can also cause lighter skin.

Age wrinkling in the skin is promoted by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors. What is Glycation?
