For treatment of vitiligo, Psoriasis, alopecia's

Melanocyte transplantation is the latest surgical method for the treatment of stable vitiligo / leucoderma and loss of pigmentation. Melanocytes are the skin cells which produce melanin. A complete absence of skin colour usually means the melanocytes have been destroyed. Thanks to an innovative treatment, it is now possible to take melanocytes from a healthy area of skin and transfer them in a suspension onto the damaged area of skin. This process is not a time consuming, laboratory cell culturing technique but is a process that can be carried out in a clinic in one to three hours. It is important to note that this is not a melanocyte culturing process. Who is suitable for Melanocyte Transplantation? There are two main categories of patients that are most suited to melanocyte transplantation. a) Patients who have white patches on their skin as a result of leucoderma such as piebaldism and halo nevi or after laser tattoo removal or who have dischromia on burn scars. b) Patients who have had stable vitiligo patches for a period of at least 6 months are good candidates to undergo melanocyte transplantation. Vitiligo patients should fulfill the following criteria to be eligible for surgery: 1. Existing patches should not have increased in size. 2. No new patches should have appeared on other areas. 3. Any injury should heal with normal skin color. Response according to type of vitiligo: 1. Segmental - Best response and most suitable. Success rate 94% ( See below) 2. Focal - Very good response and suitable. Success rate 80% 3. Vulgaris - Responds well on lower extremity, poor response on face. Success rate 75% 4. Acral - Poor response in all areas. Success rate 20% Success rate of treatment is 94% i.e. 94% of the treated patients develop pigmentation over 65% to 100% of the treated area. A statistical figure of success rate applies to a group of people and not to an individual patient. Recurrence of vitiligo after treatment: 1. Segmental - Almost no recurrence 2. Focal - Minimal chance of recurrence. It can develop in vulgaris type. 3. Vulgaris - can recur. 4. Acral - Very high rate of recurrence. Is one operative session enough for complete recovery? Sometimes a few white spots remain. Approximately 30% patients require repeat surgery for complete recovery. The Treatment Most Advanced Method Melanocyte transplantation is the most advanced surgical method to treat vitiligo / leucoderma. Large areas can be treated. Repigmentation occurs in about 4 to 6 months and cosmetic results are superior to other surgical methods such as skin grafting and punchgrafting. Difficult areas like bony surface, areola, genitals and knuckles can be treated with excellent results. What happens post-treatment? The treated site is protected by a dressing for one week. Verbal and written post treatment instructions are provided. Dependant on the site that was treated, no further dressing is required and you will need to follow the instructions that were given. There is usually no bruising or swelling. Some patients may feel minor discomfort at the biopsy and treated site for a few days which can be treated with a mild painkiller if wished. Recovery is remarkably quick. When dressings are removed the treated area appears bright red. Repigmentation is seen only after 4 to 6 weeks in brown skin population and 8 to 12 weeks in Caucasians. It takes about 6 months to achieve maximum results. Complications & Side Effects 1. Since no medicines are used except post-operative antibiotics, there are no side effects. 2. Scarring and Koebner's phenomenon are rare complications. Trauma of surgery may cause new lesions (Koebner's phenomenon) and is seen in approximately 2% of our patients. Use of oral prednisolone at surgery may prevent Koebner's phenomenon. 3. There may be a hypopigmented ring at the borders of treated and repigmented patches in some patients. Usually this ring disappears automatically or with application of local steroids, or by repeat surgery. 4. Bacterial infection. All patients are given oral antibiotics to prevent chances of infection. Advantages of Melanocyte Transplantation 1. It is a day care procedure. Patient can go home in 3 to 5 hours. 2. A large area can be treated in one operative session. 3. A very small piece of normal skin is sufficient to treat large affected area, e.g. 10cm2 of donor skin is enough to treat 100 cm2 of vitligo / leucoderma patches. 4. Very good cosmetic results. 5. Repigmentation is seen in 2 months and may take 4 to 6 months for maximum improvement and proper color matching. 6. Very minimal or no side effects. 7. No postoperative phototherapy required.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy in Hair Restoration - PRP Therapy PRP (PRP) therapy is an exciting new non-surgical therapeutic option for natural hair growth and stimulation. Scientific research and technology has given the medical community new understandings of wound and tissue healing. As a result of this new knowledge we have a better understanding of cellular growth and repair. Mesenchymal stem cells and autologous blood products are examples of how essential and specific growth factors can assist in tissue regeneration and healing. At Aura Skin Cosmetology Clinic we offer PRP therapy as an innovative scientifically based natural non-surgical hair restoration therapy. PRP is not meant to replace current FDA approved therapies such as DHT blockers and Minoxidil, but it is a promising non-surgical therapeutic option for those patients with hair loss. HOW DO WE PERFORM THE PROCEDURE? Blood is drawn in our office as though you are having routine blood testing at your primary care physician’s office. The blood is spun in a centrifuge and the PRP is separated and removed from the rest of the blood. The PRP is taken from your body and is specially prepared by spinning down the blood cells to a high concentration. After centrifugation, the platelets and other vital growth proteins raise to the top of the tube. Under a topical anesthesia, a special micro needling roller device used to stimulate the dermis of the scalp. This micro needling stimulation causes microtrauma to the dermis that induces other healing and growth repair cells into action. The highly concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is injected into the scalp and topically, as the roller creates tiny wound. The PRP contains many growth factors that stimulate the hair follicle’s growth. PRP can be used preoperatively, intraoperatively, or post operatively. Some patient’s chose to have PRP performed every six (6) months as early data suggests regular or semiannual PRP treatments can stimulate hair growth. THE SCIENCE OF PRP PRP contains special cells called Platelets, that can cause growth of the hair follicles by theoretically stimulating the stem cells located in the Dermal Papilla as well as other structures of the hair follicle These special Platelet cells promotes healing, accelerates the rate and degree of tissue healing and regeneration, response of the body to injury, and formation of new cellular growth. The primary purpose of using PRP in hair restoration is to stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase. Inside the Platelets are many intracellular structures such as glycogen, lysosomes and alpha granules. These granules within the PRP contain clotting and growth factors that are eventually released during the healing and repair process. PRP specific cells that causes hair growth include: • Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)—promotes blood vessel growth, cell replication, skin formation; • Transforming Growth-Factor-Beta (TGF-b)—promotes growth of matrix between cells, bone metabolism; • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)—promotes blood vessel formation; • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)—promotes cell growth and differentiation, blood vessel formation, collagen formation; • Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2)—promotes growth of specialized cells and blood vessel formation; and, • Insulin Like Growth Factor - (IGF) —a regulator of normal physiology in nearly every type of cell in the body.

Mesolift Microinjections or Vitamins & Hyauronic acid are given on the face to take away Dullness & Loosness of skin, to give a good Glowy, Tight and even Toned Skin.

Skin peeling is an age old, scientifically proven, safe method of skin rejuvenation. Skin Peeling is a medical procedure, which consists of application of certain products, after cleansing and degreasing face. Peel is applied over the treatment area (face/neck/back etc) with the help of brush or bud in a specific pattern. With every sitting, time of application of peel and concentration of peel is increased. Aim of a peel is to remove the upper dead layer of the skin and unclogging the clogged pores, thereby giving a smooth, fresh, rejuvenated, young looking flawless skin. Peelings which are done for cosmetic purpose are superficial in nature. Deeper peels are done to remove the deeper layers of skin (epidermis and / or upper dermis) and are utilized in deep seated pigmentation, acne scars and for anti aging purpose. Peels are extremely safe, if done under supervision of a trained dermatologist and are US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) Approved. To name a few, different agents used for skin peeling are 1. Glycolic (20 %, 35 %, 50 %, 70 %) which is synthetic sugar cane product. Glycolic is classified under alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) 2. Salicylic which is a Beta Hyroxy peel commonly used to treat pimples. 3. Tri Chloro Acetic (TCA) peel, commonly used for pigmentation 4. Phenol Peels 5. Combination Peels etc At Soumya Skin Clinic, we have range of skin peels like Glycolic, salicylic and TCA peels, which will be selected depending on individual skin condition. SALICYLIC PEEL A beta hydroxy peel, which is very superficial in nature. It peels off the upper dead layer of the skin and opens up the clogged pores and thus helps in reduction of acne/pimples. It also helps in minimizing the oiliness in the skin which is very common in acne patients. It is highly recommended peel for Acne /pimples of any grade and gives extremely good results in just 2 to 4 sittings. Recommended for: Pigmentation, blemishes, wrinkle, oily, dull and acne prone skin. Also for Acne Scars,Pits,Ageing Skin. Visible results: In 4-6 sessions for normal skin. 8-10 sessions for skin with Acne, Acne scars & Pigmentation. Frequency: First 4 sessions to be undertaken with a gap of 15 days between each sessions. Next 4 session in a gap of 2-4 week. We recommended one session per 6 Weeks to maintain the results achieve.

MHRT Microinjection of hairs Vitamins are given into the scalp to stop hair loss & promote hair growth. 6 sessions are done every 1 to 2 week followed by 6 sessions every 2 to 4 week. Maintenance sessions are done every month for 6 months or as per need. Sessions are painless with no side effects.

At Aura Skin Cosmetology Clinic, we remove all type of wart & skin tag. Warts are considered unsightly in virtually all cultures. Misconceptions about warts abound, but the facts concerning warts are relatively simple. • Warts are caused by HPV or the Human Papilloma Virus. • More than 70 types of the HP virus have been identified. • 8-10 percent of the population have warts • Women are more likely to have warts than men. • Children are more likely to have warts than adults • The most common are; common, plantar, flat, genital, cervical and laryngeal. • Warts are contagious. • There has been a dramatic rise in the incidents of genital warts • Mothers can give their newborn children genital warts in the birth canal. • Only humans have HPV. Animals carry other types of virus. • The incubation period for the wart virus can be from 2 weeks to several months making it difficult to determine where it came from. • The more warts a person has the more infectious they become, • Warts can be successfully removed. • Genital warts can be prevented. Common warts are clusters of effected cells. Most are round and raise above the skins surface. Once a person has contacted warts, generally more are introduced to other sites on the body accidentally or unconsciously by scratching or abraising the wart then introducing it to another site on the body. This process is called 'autoinoculation'. Common warts posses little potential for health problems unless they bleed, change color or shape. Most are removed for cosmetic purposes or because location on the body cause irritation due to rubbing on clothing, etc. Plantar warts are confined to bottoms of the feet. They are generally flat due to being pushed upward into the foot by the body's weight. They are frequently very painful. Plantar warts are very contagious due to the cells being sloughed off at a rate higher than any other wart and the virus remains stable in a favorable environment such as; a warm, wet gym shower floor. Many athletes contact plantar warts in a similar fashion as they contact athletes foot ( a fungal disorder) Plantar warts are often confused with bunions. Diabetic patients have a high incidence of plantar warts and athletes have the highest incidence. Genital warts are confined to the genital area; vagina, anus, penis and scrotum. They are growths or bumps of the skin. They may be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large, They might be clumped together forming a cauliflower-like shape. Occasionally they are virtually invisible to the naked eye. The HPV virus can also live on the surface of the skin without causing a wart. This is known as a 'subclinical' HPV infection. HPV and genital warts are usually spread by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone with the virus. Warts on the hands, etc that contact pubic areas DO NOT spread the genital virus. Warts appear from several weeks to several months after contact. The long incubation period makes it difficult to know when and from whom you get the virus. It may be difficult to know that you have the warts if they are inside the vagina, on the cervix or in the anus. Rarely do they cause itching or bleeding. An abnormal pap smear might be the first warning that genital warts are present. It is prudent to see your health care provider if; You notice any unusual growths, bumps or changes to the skin in or around the genital area. You notice any unusual pain, itching or bleeding; or Your sex partner(s) tells you that he or she has genital warts Skin tag: A small tag of skin that may have a stalk (a peduncle). Skin tags may appear on the skin almost anywhere although the favorite locales are the eyelids, neck, armpits (axillae), upper chest, and groin. Skin tags are almost always benign Skin tags are predisposed by heredity. That is, if a persons parents have skin tags, there is a high likelihood that the children will also have skin tags. Women are more likely to have skin tags then men. Skin tags, generally appear during middle age. Although newly born children occasionally will have skin tags. Excess weight is thought to be a factor in the development of skin tags Medically, a skin tag can be termed an acrochordon or a cutaneous papilloma. But it is far better known as a skin tag.

Surgical nail removal can be done for severe or returning fungal nail infections. The entire nail (avulsion) or only part of the nail (debridement) can be removed. Surgical nail removal can be done in a clinic or your doctor's office. Your doctor will give you an injection in the finger or toe to prevent pain. He or she will then loosen the skin around the nail (nail folds) from the nail and separate the nail from the skin by using a tool under the nail. If only part of the nail is diseased, only the diseased part is removed. If you want to avoid future infection by preventing the nail from growing back, your doctor can destroy the nail matrix. This is accomplished by applying a chemical to the cuticle area after the nail plate is removed. An antibiotic ointment is applied to the wound, which is then covered with gauze and tape. What To Expect After Surgery For the first few weeks after surgery, clean and dry the wound. Then apply a layer of antibiotic ointment. The wound should heal within a few weeks. Fingernails may take 6 months to grow back, and toenails may take 12 to 18 months to grow back. Why It Is Done Surgical nail removal is usually performed only when a large portion of the nail is diseased and damaged or if your nails are very painful. In some cases, only the diseased portion is removed, not the entire nail. This procedure is rarely needed. How Well It Works After the diseased nail has been removed, the infection can be further treated by applying an antifungal cream to the remaining infected area or by taking oral antifungal medicine. Risks Risks of this procedure include: • Pain. • Infection. You can reduce the risk of infection by keeping the area clean and dry and regularly applying antibiotic ointment. • Abnormal nail growth. When the nail grows back, it may be odd in shape and appearance. What To Think About Nail removal makes it possible to apply an antifungal cream directly to the infected area, increasing the likelihood that the infection can be cured. For a chronic severe fungal nail infection, you can choose to have the nail matrix destroyed during the removal procedure. This treatment prevents a diseased or disfigured nail from growing back.

Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Similar patches also appear on both the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose) and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball). The hair that grows on areas affected by vitiligo sometimes turns white. The cause of vitiligo is not known, but doctors and researchers have several different theories. There is strong evidence that people with vitiligo inherit a group of three genes that make them susceptible to depigmentation. The most widely accepted view is that the depigmentation occurs because vitiligo is an autoimmune disease -- a disease in which a person's immune system reacts against the body's own organs or tissues. People's bodies produce proteins called cytokines that, in vitiligo, alter their pigment-producing cells and cause these cells to die. Another theory is that melanocytes destroy themselves. Finally, some people have reported that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress triggered vitiligo; however, these events have not been scientifically proven as causes of vitiligo. Suction Blister Suction blister epidermal grafting is an established technique for the treatment of resistant and stable vitiligo especially over small and cosmetically important areas like the face. However, certain areas, such as lips and eyelids, require special considerations because of their anatomic peculiarities.

Mesoglow Microinjections or Vitamins & Hyauronic acid are given on the face to take away Dullness & Loosness of skin, to give a good Glowy, Tight and even Toned Skin. Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in tissues smoothness, softening and decreasing wrinkles. Session are done every 7-10 days, for a total 4 session. Maintenance sessions are painless with no side effects.

Microdermabrasion is a general term for the application of tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of skin. Many different products and treatments use this method, including medical procedures, salon treatments and creams and scrubs that you apply yourself at home. It's usually done to the face, chest, neck, arms or hands. Before we can understand how microdermabrasion does what it does, it's important to understand how skin works. Your skin is made up of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It's a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through.

Heavy sweating (also known as hyperhidrosis) is a very real and embarrassing problem, but there are some effective ways to treat it. Before you hide under bulky sweaters or move to a chillier climate, you can try these proven techniques for combating excessive sweating. First Step for Treating Heavy Sweating: Antiperspirants The easiest way to tackle excessive sweating is with an antiperspirant, which most people already use on a daily basis. Antiperspirants contain aluminum salts. When you roll them onto your skin, antiperspirants form a plug that blocks perspiration. You can buy an antiperspirant over the counter at your local supermarket or drug store, or your doctor can prescribe one for you. Over-the-counter antiperspirants may be less irritating than prescription antiperspirants. Start with an over-the-counter brand, and if that doesn't work, see your dermatologist for a prescription. Many antiperspirants are sold combined with a deodorant, which won't stop you from sweating but will control the odor from your sweat. Antiperspirants aren't only for your underarms. You can also apply them to other areas where you sweat, like your hands and feet. Some may even be applied to the hairline. Don't just roll or spray on your antiperspirant/deodorant in the morning and forget about it. Also apply it at night before you go to bed -- it will help keep you drier. Next Steps: 4 Medical Treatments for Heavy Sweating If antiperspirants aren't stopping your hands and feet from sweating too much, your doctor may recommend one of these medical treatments: 1. Iontophoresis: During this treatment, you sit with your hands, feet, or both in a shallow tray of water for about 20 to 30 minutes, while a low electrical current travels through the water. No one knows exactly how this treatment works, but experts believe it blocks sweat from getting to your skin's surface. You'll have to repeat this treatment at least a few times a week, but after several times you may stop sweating. Once you learn how to do iontophoresis, you can buy a machine to use at home. Some people only require a couple of treatments a month for maintenance. Although iontophoresis is generally safe, because it uses an electrical current it's not recommended for women who are pregnant and people who have pacemakers or metal implants (including joint replacements), cardiac conditions, or epilepsy. 2. Botulinum toxin: Another treatment option for heavy sweating is injections of botulinum toxin A (Botox), the same medicine used for wrinkles. Botox is FDA-approved for treating excessive sweating of the underarms, but some doctors may also use it on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Botox works by preventing the release of a chemical that signals the sweat glands to activate. You may need to have several Botox injections, but the results can last for almost a year.

Torn Or Split Earlobes The earlobes are appendages of the ears made of soft skin and a small amount of fatty tissue. When studying the earlobe appearance and anatomy, one is often surprised about the large variation in size, form and shape. Aside from being important for a normal appearance of the ears, the earlobes serve women and men as popular locations for jewelry. Often, the earlobes are pierced to fit various forms of ear ornaments ranging from little studs to larger and heavier items. How Do Earlobe Tears Occur? Excessive weight or trauma can easily overcome the strength of the earlobe tissues leading to a tear in the gentle earlobe tissues. This split may be unattractive and renders the earlobe unusable for most jewellery. Sometimes, clip-on earrings can still be fitted and are used to camouflage the earlobe tear. How Can Split Earlobes Be Corrected? We have seen creative patients using transparent tape to temporarily repair their torn lobe. Although a resourceful idea, skin reaction may develop making this habit obsolete in the long run. Most torn earlobes can be effectively and safely corrected using delicate surgical repair techniques. The procedure is routinely performed in the office under local anesthesia with an optional sedative. After planning and marking, a small amount of lidocaine numbing solution is deposited. The procedure itself is performed without any discomfort. In order to rebuild the earlobe, the healed and scarred aspects of the tear require removal. Repair is then performed in a straight line or in a zigzag. The most appropriate technique will be discussed with the patient and depend on the specific location of injury and anatomy of the earlobe. Fine suture threads are used, support the repair and minimize scaring. Small amounts of antibiotic ointment are applied at home for a few days ensuring cleanliness. The healed earlobe has usually a barely visible pencil-fine scar line without aesthetic limitations. Can The Ear Be Pierced Again? Yes, but Dr. Jain asks his patients to wait for a minimum of 8 weeks before a stud can be placed. Now it is important to prevent recurrent earlobe damage. Therefore, be careful with larger ear jewelry and loops around children. Small studs are relatively safe, heavy ear rings should be avoided. Earlobe Slit (Enlarged Piercing Hole) An incomplete tear in the earlobe usually starts at the original piercing site and continues downward for some degree. The result is an earlobe hole too large to hold ear studs. Closure of the enlarged slit-like hole can be performed in the office. A new piercing usually has to be performed but has to wait for approximately 8-12 weeks.

Injection Lipolysis Benefits: Removal of stubborn 'difficult to melt' fat in areas such as Chin (Double Chin), Flanks (Love Handles), Thiess, Buttocks etc. It involves injection of medicines once in every three weeks in the area concerned, total of 5-7 sessions. Totally safe procedure with minimum down time

What is a Dermaroller? Dermaroller (or skin roller) has the features of a precision engineered medical instrument, with the ease of use necessary to use it in the comfort and privacy of your own home. It is based upon a simple hand held roller which has surgical steel micro-needles which are able to part the pores of the top layer of the skin without damaging it. The pores close again around an hour later, but during that time, your skin is significantly better able to absorb and benefit from skin creams and lotions. Micro-needling of the skin is an increasingly common cosmetic procedure, but the Dermaroller is a medical device which is simple enough that you can perform it yourself at home. In fact, it has similar results to Laser Treatment, Chemical Peels and Dermabrasion, but it is considerably less invasive and carries only a fraction of the cost. How does the Derma Roller Work? As you roll the skin roller over your skin, it creates pin point punctures into the dermis – the majority of which are simply pushing your pores open temporarily. This is perceived by the body as damage, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin. The human body reacts to any injury by initiating the healing process, but usually it will only heal as far as it must to keep you healthy – which is different to healing to a cosmetic level. By persistently triggering the healing process, you encourage your body to continue healing until the job is finished. Your body normally assumes that scars, stretch marks and wrinkles are OK, but with the gentle daily reminder caused by the Derma Roller the body is tricked into continuing the healing process until the body has also healed itself on a cosmetic level. This process of skin remodelling can go on for months after each Derma Roller treatment, but noticeable results can be seen within a week! Your skin naturally renews itself every 40 days, so with a little stimulation changes can be dramatic and fast. Skin micro-needling with the Derma Roller may be carried out safely on all types of skin and all skin colours. Other treatments often have to avoid Sensitive areas – such as around the eyes, the neck and the backs of the hands, but the Derma Roller can be used on all of these areas. The epidermis and melanocytes in the basal area are not damaged, so there’s no possibility of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.
