There are three types of chemical peels including the phenol peel which is the strongest, the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel, and the alphahydroxy acid (AHA) peel which is the mildest. Candidates for the chemical peel include men and women who are looking to improve wrinkles and other blemishes of the facial skin.

Chemical peels may produce reddening and peeling similar to a sunburn, which typically lasts a few days to several weeks, depending on the strength and depth of the peel.

Skin Lightening Laser Nd:Yag Q -switch Laser

Q Switched Nd: YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) is a lasing medium that helps in targeting dermal pigmentation and melasma that is not amenable to treatment with depigmenting creams and chemical peels.

While the epidermal lesions respond best to 532 nm (frequency doubled NdYAG) the dermal lesions are better treated with 1064 nm.

Q-switched lasers are the gold standard for treatment of tattoos.

Freckles: Response is same as for lentigines. Although very effective, the risk of dyes pigmentation exists.

Lentigines: usually 1-2 sessions are enough to clear lentigines at 532 nm. However there is a risk of hypo/hyperpigmentation, so avoidance of sun exposure for 4-6 weeks post laser is very important.

Cafe-au lait macules: These again can be treated effectively in 1-2 sessions, but recurrence is common which requires multiple treatments.

Freckles: Response is same as for lentigines. Although very effective, risk of dyspigmentation exists.

Dermal pigmented lesions: Nevus of Ota, Nevus of Ito, Mongolian spots, Hori’s nevus, ABNOMs (acquired bilateral nevus of Ota like macules), and other flat pigmented birthmarks respond well at 1064 nm. Multiple sessions are usually required with the near-total clearing of the lesion in most cases.

Melasma: The dermal component of melasma can also be treated but recurrence is common and complete clearance is not seen.

Fading of the lesion will be noted over 8 weeks and Retreatment energy levels can be tailored depending on the clinical response observed. Treatment is to be repeated every 15 days For all skin rejuvenation services.

Given how we are all at home, in a conscious and group effort to defeat the novel
coronavirus, it’s easy to feel bored and/or stressed. While trying to get used to a new
normal, we need to update our routine, including our skin and Hands, care. Staying at
home has given us all a great opportunity to switch up our skincare routine and focus
some time and attention on it.

Skincare routine:
The basic three steps of skincare remain the same. Prolonged usage of masks can
cause bruising, pigmentation, pressure-related changes on the skin, or contact
dermatitis to the material of the mask for which you may need to meet your
dermatologist.
Cleansing, moisturizing and sunscreen is a person’s best friend when it comes to
pampering the skin. The choice of cleanser/face washes/soaps depends on the skin
type for That you just need to your Dermatologist.

Care of the hands:
Handwashing and routine use of hand sanitizers have become a norm in the COVID
times in young and the old alike. As much as it keeps the virus at bay, a lot of people
have started complaining of increased dryness of the hands, burning sensation, peeling
of skin and development of dry patches, and developing cracks in the hand skin.
This results from repeated hand wash and use of hand sanitizers which destroys the
natural moisturizers and protective layer of the skin. As much as hand hygiene is
necessary during these times few tips will prevent the development of these problems.
1)= Meeting your dermatologist at the earliest if you develop cuts in the skin or dry
patches on the hands that do not resolve on moisturizer application

2)= Avoid long nails
3)= Repeated use of coconut oil on the hand also helps prevent dryness and flaking of
skin
4)= Wearing hand gloves while using harsh soaps during mopping, vessel cleaning or
washing clothes

Diet and lifestyle changes
The incorporation of simple techniques in routine practice not only helps the skin but
also helps in having a healthy mind and body. Simple changes in lifestyle and routines
will go a long way in giving you not only beautiful skin but also a healthy mind and
body.
Exercising daily and meditating for sometime during the day is a good option. Eat
foods rich in antioxidants like lemons, limes, tomatoes, Haldi. Do not binge or overeat
and drink plenty of water.

Unwanted pigmentation problems, like brown spots or splotchy skin, have many causes and can occur in all skin types. Fortunately, dermatologists have investigated a variety of skin-lightening methods and have developed many promising treatments. Depending on the severity and extent of the pigmentation problem, we at skinsoul can tailor a patient’s treatment based on his or her individual skin tone, and the treatment may include a single therapy or a combination of one to two therapies.

Sun damage causes pigmentation problems in light-skinned individuals

The main cause of dark spots in light-skinned individuals is sun damage. Years of sun exposure can result in spotted hyperpigmentation, a condition marked by increased pigment production that results in patchy skin color or a blotchy complexion. The extent of sun damage depends largely on a person’s skin color and his or her history of long-term or intense sun exposure.

Dark-skinned individuals more prone to hard-to-treat pigmentation problems

Two of the most common pigmentation problems that occur in people with darker skin tones are melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Melasma is a patchy brown discoloration that occurs on sun-exposed areas of the face and is commonly referred to as “the mask of pregnancy” because it often occurs during pregnancy. Those with light skin can develop melasma, but the condition is more common in dark skin. Because a deeper skin layer (the dermis) may be affected, melasma can be difficult to treat and requires a multifaceted treatment regimen.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a condition in which an injury or inflammation to the skin causes increased pigment production. PIH occurs in darker-skinned individuals and, like melasma, can be difficult to treat when it involves a deeper skin layer. The most common cause of PIH is acne, but it also can result from psoriasis, a burn, or an injury.

It is important to address the underlying cause of the pigmentation problem. For example, to treat PIH due to acne

So if you are suffering from any kind of pigmentation – book a detailed consultation with dr sneh thadani, as she explains its very important to understand the cause and depth of pigmentation in order to treat and find suitable treatment and maintainance option for it.
