Unwanted body hair:
As
per a scientific study as well as general societal behavior unwanted body hair
in women specially on exposed body parts like upper lip, chin, face, legs,
arms, midriff are looked at with disgust. The unwanted body hair could lead to
mood disturbances such as depression and limitations in emotional well-being,
quality of life, and life satisfaction.
As
per studies PCOS accounts for around 80% of hirsutism cases in women. Close to
10% of Indian Women aged 10 to 45 suffer from Hirsutism. In North India figures
are even higher. 12.5% women in North India suffer from Hirsutism. Hirsute
women usually present with increased growth of terminal hair at sides of the
face, upper lip, chin, upper back, shoulders, sternum, and upper abdomen.
For
permanent hair reduction Soprano Ice Platinum is the best in class
technologies. The Soprano Ice Platinum combines the power of 3 technologies to
remove unwanted hair at three levels and provide the most complete and
effective best in class hair removal solution for all skin tones (light, dark
or tanned) and hair types (coarse or
fine hair). The machine is designed taking into consideration that hair in
human body are rooted at different depths and each depth has its own treatment
requirement. Soprano Ice too is an equally powerful platform for laser hair
reduction. Both the platforms offer ICE
technology, which cools the skin, prevents burns and allow virtually pain free treatments
yet highly effective hair removal.
Ageing related disorders:
As the largest,
most visible and vulnerable organ of the human body, the skin is anatomically
and functionally affected by aging. With age, spots may appear, lines start to
form, skin becomes lax and blood vessels break and become more visible. Skin
issues negatively impact psyche and confidence. People suffering from skin
issues are hesitant of moving around and socializing.
Three important
hyperpigmentary disorders that affect Indians include melasma,
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and actinic lentigines.
·
90% of melasma cases happen amongst
women
·
< 70% of Indian men & women
under the age of 35 present with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) due
to acne vulgaris and other related issues
The latest and
most powerful laser, Alma-Q is the most effective method for removing natural
and artificial pigmentation while minimizing the damage to surrounding tissue.
The treatment mechanically removes/ breaks-up pigment to reveal lighter
unblemished skin. Alma-Q offers Nd:YAG laser treatment solution with three
modes; which gives it power and versatility to treat a wide range of aesthetic
dermal indications - hyperpigmentation, skin imperfections and unwanted tattoos.
“Topical treatment is a good modality for
pigmentary disorders. Doctors have to choose between a mono or combined
therapy. The use of QS Nd:YAG laser has proven efficacy in the treatment of
hyper-pigmentary disorders with negligible side effects. Alma-Q features the
first fractional non-ablative Q-Switched laser that offers depth control
helping in the treatment of skin imperfections including melasma, wrinkles,
fine lines, skin laxity, uneven skin-tone and photo damaged skin. Treatment
involves causing micro thermal injury to the tissue, contracting existing
fibers and stimulating formation of new collagen. Consistent treatment leads to
rejuvenated, clear and radiant skin,” said
Dr. Abhiraj Thakur, Head, Skin Solutions Laser & Cosmetic Clinic.
“What happens
when a person is unhappy with his/her tattoo OR when one wants to get rid of
the tattoo of an Ex OR when a youngster
does not get an army, hospitality or airline job etc. because of tattoos on the
arm. Successful multi-colour tattoo
removal requires a high-powered laser that can deliver enough energy to
breakdown particles in the tattoo without damaging adjoining skin without
scarring and risk of hypopigmentation. Alma-Q is one such laser!,” added Dr. Tavinder Thakur, Co-head, Skin
Solutions Laser & Cosmetic Clinic.
Psoriasis:
Producing
new skin cells is a natural, healthy process that allows the body to renew and
rejuvenate the skin. But when these cells grow too quickly the skin can
accumulate layers of dead skin resulting in thick, red, itchy patches or
“plaques” that characterize psoriasis. Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of
the elbows, knees, and scalp.
As
per a comprehensive data collected from various medical colleges located in
Dibrugarh, Calcutta, Patna, Darbhanga, Lucknow, New Delhi and Amritsar;
incidence of psoriasis depends on factors like different environmental changes
(extreme temperatures), dietary habits and genetic differences. Most psoriasis
cases surface in the age group of 20-39 years. Incidence of psoriasis is higher
amongst men. Men to women ratio is 3:1.
Vitiligo:
Vitiligo
is a common pigmentary disorder of the skin, with a worldwide incidence of 1%
and India incidence of 3 to 4%. In vitiligo skin loses its colour in patches.
In India male to female vitiligo incidence ratio is almost equal 2.1:1, but
females outnumber males in studies presumably because of social stigma and
marital concerns. These reasons prompt women to seek early consultation. 54.5%
of Vitiligo cases occur in first or second decade of life. This shows that the
disease starts at a younger age. These numbers are similar for India as well as
the West. 40 to 60 is yet another age group in which vitiligo cases surface.
308
Excimer offers a revolutionary UVB Phototherapy technology. In 308 Excimer
treatment the focus is on vitiligo OR psoriasis patches / lesions without
impacting the healthy skin. In vitiligo 308 Excimer stabilizes progression of
the disease and induces an early re-pigmentation. In most patients a re-pigmentation
of >75% is achieved. In psoriasis 80% patients registered over 50%
improvement. The cost of treatment is 20% of other available treatment options.
Soumen Dutta, MD, Alma Lasers India &
SAARC, said, “Soprano is our flagship brand. Soprano ICE &
Soprano Ice Platinum are powerful workstations and provide the most complete
and effective hair removal solution. The machines target unwanted hair at
multiple levels and on any area of the body including hard to reach areas such
as ear, neck and bikini lines, for optimal results, with effective hair removal
that’s safe, quick and best of all, painless.”
“Sun-exposure
is one of the major causes of skin related aesthetic issues. In North, the
exposure is even more because of winters. Hence, the skin damage is also high.
Skin issues are known to cause psychological stress. With 41% of Indian
population in age group of 25-44, bad skin-care regimes, we have a role to play
in improving quality of life with our state-of-the-art scientifically proven
technologies,” added Soumen Dutta while
discussing Alma-Q.
