Botox – Look Younger in only 10 minutes


The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to as BOTOX, is a popular non-surgical injection that reduces or temporarily removes frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, while giving the skin a softer, more refreshed look. Studies have also suggested that BOTOX is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

There is nothing new about worry lines, frown lines, crow's feet or other wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing or frowning and there is a very effective non-surgical way to treat them. Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) is the name of the product used for a variety of medical conditions. It was discovered by accident almost 20 years ago. When doctors were using to treat people with facial tics around the eyes they realized that it also made their wrinkles improve. The treatment has been approved for cosmetic use under the name of BOTOX. Using a micro-needle, Botulinum Toxin are injected into the specific facial muscles. It relaxes those muscles and stops them forming lines and wrinkles, resulting in a younger appearance.

The anti aging treatment is virtually painless. However, it is not a permanent resource; Periodic re-treatments are necessary to achieve lasting results.

This treatment is ideal for:

> Reduction of the frown line
> Migraine and Tension Headache
> Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Botox can also be used in conjunction with cosmetic surgery, including a brow lift, face lift, eyelid surgery and laser skin resurfacing to improve and maintain results for longer periods of time.

Skin Care Routine in Summer


Summer is almost here! But before you prepare for the beach and invest in that swimsuit that you have been looking for for months now, you need to make sure that your skin looked smooth, stain-free and prepared for the summer.

Summer is the time of year when you'll want to be in a tank top and a pair of shorts all day long because of the rise in temperatures. You sweat a lot and your skin tends to dry in the summer so be sure to moisturize well to keep it plump, fresh and shiny. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day and consume foods with high water content, such as fruits and vegetables.

One of the most common misconceptions is the skin produces more oil as the temperature rises, is that there is no need to use a moisturizer during the summer season. In fact, to help rehydrate the skin, you will need a good light moisturizer to help seal the skin from the natural moisture. Ask skin specialist in Pune about nutritional masks and moisturizers fortified with special ingredients with antioxidant and enhancer properties Of Collagen, Gel.


To keep your skin healthy and young looking, regular exfoliation should be part of your skin care regimen. The exfoliation will help improve the texture of the skin by gently peeling the outermost layer which is mostly rough skin, revealing the healthier skin underneath. It can also help keep your face and body free from acne too, so you can confidently show off your skin and look good in summer. However, skin doctors in Pune suggest that the exfoliation should be done with utmost care and should not in any way irritate the skin or damage its integrity.

Tips For Preteen Acne


Most of us remember the problem caused by acne when we were teenagers, which can be anywhere from a minor annoyance to (more rarely) a major medical problem. Many parents, however, are surprised at how young acne starts now in their children. Make no mistake: Preteen acne is occurring earlier and no one is absolutely sure why.

Acne is a hormonal disease. It occurs in response to changes in the oil glands of the face and body that occur before and during puberty. Many parents are surprised to know that puberty is occurring earlier to children these days, especially for girls who often develop acne early as young as 8 or 9 years old.

There are many theories on why children are entering puberty (and getting acne) before. Antibiotics and hormones used in cows that produce meat and milk are a common concern. Organic meat and non-hormone-grown milk may or may not reduce exposure to these growth hormones. Pesticides used in vegetables and fruits are also a potential source, as are certain plastics that can mimic estrogen in the body. None of these theories is confirmed as the cause of previous puberty and may be some other environmental factor that we have not discovered.

The reaction of a child (and parents) to this early acne can vary considerably. Sometimes the child does not even notice it and is more annoying to their parents than to the child. Some children are very annoyed by it and, like all acne, can make their social and school life more difficult. Helping your child understand what is happening can help lessen the stress associated with early puberty and acne, as can a successful treatment. It can also be emotionally difficult for parents, who see it as a sign their child is growing in the early stages of adulthood.

Most children first experience comedonal acne, which is pimples and whiteheads on the nose and central cheeks. They often do not bother them at first. Aggressive washing and scrubbing does not help much and can lead to irritation and more redness. Over the counter salicylic acid wash can be useful if used with care, otherwise consult your dermatologist for one of several modern versions of Retin-A, which are particularly good for this type of acne. These medications can dry the skin if it is overused, so be sure to ask your doctor the correct amount and schedule to apply.

As children reach full puberty, acne often worsens around the age of 14-18 with more red shins and sometimes deep and painful nodules. This type of acne can be more serious and leave permanent scars, so see our skin specialist in Pune immediately if it develops for a more aggressive treatment.

Teen Skin Care Tips to Stop Acne Problems


Sometimes it may seem that your skin is impossible to handle, especially when you wake up and find a huge stain on your face. The good news is that there are ways to prevent and treat common skin problems if you know what to do.

A pimple starts when the pores in the skin get stuck with a type of oil called sebum, which normally lubricates the skin and hair. Acne is common during puberty when hormones go into overdrive, causing the skin to overproduce sebum. Because many oil-producing glands are on the forehead, nose and chin, it is where the pimples are most likely to appear. Follow the tips or find acne treatments in Pune.

Here are some tips to help prevent outbreaks and clear them as fast as possible.
  • Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Do not rub. Excessive washing and washing can cause skin irritation. After cleansing, apply an over-the-counter lotion containing benzoyl peroxide.
  • Do not squeeze pimples. It's tempting, but here's why you should not. Pimples can push more infected material into the skin, which leads to more swelling and redness and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a large event, such as prom, your dermatologist can often treat for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
  • If you have acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothing. They do not allow the skin to breathe and can cause irritation. Scarves, ribbons and caps can pick up dirt and oil, too.
  • Take off your makeup before going to bed. When buying makeup, be sure to choose brands that say "non-comedogenic" on the label. Throw away the old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.
  • Keep hair clean and off your face to prevent extra dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
  • Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem that a tan masks the acne, but it is only temporary. A tan can make your acne worse, not improve it. Tanning also causes skin damage that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer. And avoid tanning beds altogether.
  • Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, even if it is cloudy or you do not plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. If you sweat a lot or swim, reapply sunscreen every 1½ to 2 hours (even if the bottle says the sunscreen is waterproof).
  • Choose a sun block that blocks UVA and UVB rays. Look for the words "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection in addition to the SPF of 15 or more. Select a sunscreen that says "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" on the label to help keep the pores clear.
If you are worried about acne and you have run out of options on how to treat it, talk to our skin specialist in Pune who will recommend treatments that can help prevent acne and acne scars.
