Skin treatment

Acne is a hair follicle disease occurring on face, chest, and back. It is mostly prevalent among teenagers when they attain puberty. Acne takes the form of blackheads, whiteheads, tender red bumps, pustules and even cysts. These occur when sebaceous glands attached to hair follicles become active because of hormonal changes during puberty. Sebum an oily substance is secreted in sufficient quantities which block follicular pores resulting in formation of acne.

Pimples are nothing but a type of more stubborn acne. Blackheads and whiteheads are effectively cleaned topically by applying solutions, whereas pimples require more rigorous treatment like administration of antibiotics. For treating pimples, we at Khoobsurat advise our customers to always keep their face clean and dry. Topical solutions are best for keeping affected areas clean and dry.

Skin lightening is a cosmetic process of lightening darker areas of skin, or in general getting a paler tone. This cosmetic process is used to remove dark patches or melasma, and remove birthmarks or blemishes. The basic principle of this process is reduction of melanin that gives human skin its appearance. Melanin not only contributes to colouring of human skin but also protects is from sun rays.

Skin lifting or tightening is now a non-surgical process and within the reach of the masses. We at Khoobsurat have adopted several of these non-surgical methods: ultherapy, thread lifting, dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, and laser.

Acne is a common disease particularly among teenagers and those with oily skin. Treatment for such acne is now easy with Khubsoorat around. The choice of topical substances has increased significantly thereby making the treatment of acne simpler and easier. It is advisable to go for acne treatment at Khoobsurat instead of relying on across the counter medicines. At Khoobsurat we carry out anti acne treatment depending on allergic sensitivity of skin.

Acne scars are annoying and could have serious emotional impact on young girls. Before removing acne scars it is important to know how they are different from acne marks. Acne marks are dark spots which heal on their own within 3-6 months. At Khoobsurat we hasten this process of healing by applying vitamin C serums, topical retinoids, or sunscreen.

Pigmentation of skin is directly correlated to ageing. Hormonal changes that come about with ageing give rise to uneven skin tone and dark spots. Pigmentation cannot be removed by applying lotions or creams bought from medicine shops or provision stores. Pigmentation treatment as suggested by dermatologists or expert beauticians at Khoobsurat is the safest and most effective way of removing pigments.

Like pigmentation, discoloration of skin is caused by hormonal changes, excessive exposure to sun, injury and even medications. Appearance of dark patches is common and comparable with melasma, sunspots, and freckles. Treatment for these patches is available with Khoobsurat at reasonable prices.

Appearance of wrinkles is a sign of ageing and people, especially women are obsessed with it. Natural ageing process together with exposure to sun and pollution curtails the production of collagen, a connective tissue that keeps skin taut and plump. At Khoobsuat we offer multiple treatments of ageing.

Botox is the best option to remove wrinkles from around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Botox, shortened form of Botulinum toxin A is derived from clostridium botulinum bacteria. This bacteria causes food poisoning and produces botulism, a highly toxic substance which when injected under epidermis disables muscle contractions and formation of wrinkles. Botox is FDA approved and safe for humans aged between 18-65 years.

Lip enhancement is a cosmetic process that gives plumper and fuller lips. We at Khoobsurat use hyaluronic acid, an injectable derma fillers for enhancement of lips and around the mouth. This acid occurs naturally in human body and is highly effective in increasing the volume of lips. Hyaluronic acid is better than collagen that was used earlier as dermal filler. Fat fillers also are no longer used as they have harmful side effects.

Thread lift is a non-surgical way of skin tightening. This less invasive process using suture threads is effective in reducing sagging around neck, cheek, and jaw line. Thread lifting or suture lifting has replaced conventional facelift surgery as it is faster and safer. Another advantage of doing thread lifting is that results are noticeable and at a substantially lower cost when done from Khoobsurat.

Moles are coloured skin growths appearing on skin. These moles which could assume any colour might appear anywhere either in groups or singularly. Moles being harmless and painless are not always removed except only for cosmetic reasons, or if they cause any discomfort while wearing clothes or jewellery.

The reasons for developing dark circles are many: poor sleep, allergies, and heredity. To treat these at Khoobsurat we use eye creams, injectable fillers, and IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. Treatment depends on the cause of growing dark circles.

Earwax is a symptom, which though not very common is found among many. Accumulation of ear wax is an aural condition that could be treated as a primary care at Khoobsurat. Ear wax removal is a delicate procedure and needs experts to do it perfectly.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated platelet sample used for rebuilding tissues and facial enhancements. This sample derived from your own blood containing cytokines and growth hormones is highly effective in removing wrinkles, tightening of skin, and restoration of facial glow. PRP when injected in any damaged area of your face stimulates an inflammatory response that promotes formation of collagen and regeneration of tissue. The chances of infections and allergy are almost negligible as the sample is derived from your own blood.

Derma roller or ‘skin roller’ is a hand held device with a heavy duty plastic roller head covered with titanium needles. These needles are designed to penetrate the epidermis thus creating hundreds of tiny channels through which skin care products are absorbed. After rolling, pores are cleaned, skin gets massaged, and blood flow is increased to the skin surface. All these contribute to collagen re-growth and hence tightening of skin. Wrinkles, lines, and acne scars are effectively removes using derma rollers.

Pores are essential for human skin as they help in keeping skin hydrated and allow it to breathe. They also are responsible for eliminating body toxins. Open pores are caused because of oily skin, excessive sweating, ageing, excessive makeup and hereditary reasons. People with oily skins suffer most from open pores. Frequent washing of face, keeping it clean, and staying away from strong sunlight prevent formation of open pores.

Most of these are non-surgical processes, while some are surgical. Among the surgical methods dermabrasion is popular. This involves removal of skin blemishes like surface wrinkles or scarring. In this surgical process the topmost layer is removed with highly specialized equipments.

A tattoo could become a worry times. A broken relationship, blotched up design, or failing health could be reasons for removing tattoos forever. Tattoos are injections of coloured ink whose designs could be small or large depending on your preference. Like getting a tattoo its removal is also painful. However there are processes that are less painful.

Photo facial at Khoobsurat is done by IPL (intense pulse light) therapy. An IPL source is applied on to a target area for about 30 minutes. This causes blood vessels and collagen under epidermal layer to constrict, thereby reducing age lines and redness of skin.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive and non-chemical process of removing dry and dead epidermal cells through spraying micro-crystals and revealing healthier and younger skin. This procedure also encourages growth of new layer skin cells enriched with elastin and collagen. At Khoobsurat we recommend microdermabaraion to dermabrasion as the former is gentler. Dermabrasion is more effective in cases of severe sun damage, and deep scars and facial lines.

Laser skin treatment in recent years has gained immense popularity among people of all ages. This treatment is carried out on face for reducing scars, blemishes, wrinkles, and ageing signs. Laser treatment being effective, safe, and convenient is opted by many.

Aging is a natural process which cannot be avoided. Yet there are ways and means to delay this process and appear young even in your mature years. The fundamental principle behind appearing young is to rejuvenate your skin by removing dry and dead epidermal cells by young tissue.

Tan removal is best done by home-made packs. We at Khoobsurat prepare these packs from fresh ingredients to leave your skin clean, blemish free, and rejuvenated. Tan removal at our salon is done by trained hands and with immense care. We insist on natural products as they are easily available, have no side effects, and affordable.

Blackheads occur when skin pores are clogged with excess sebum that is secreted by sebaceous glands at the root of hair follicles. Sebum when comes in contact with air gets oxidised and turns black. Face scrubbing repeatedly is not at all recommended for removing blackheads as it causes dryness which induces more sebum to be secreted.

Blackheads are essentially symptoms of acne. Sebum when overproduced, clog skin pores with epidermal cells. Sebum when oxidised turns black to form blackheads. Excessive sebum production usually is associated with puberty and associated hormonal changes. Heavy sweating, improper clothes and dietary habits also contribute to formation of blackheads.
