Acne is a skin condition caused by clogged follicles. The sebum (oil), dirt, dead skin can clog the pores resulting in acne. If not managed well, it can leave ugly, sometimes permanent, scars on the skin.

In simple terms, any of the following can be acne

• Whiteheads
• Blackheads
• Pimples
• Red bumps with or without pus
• Cysts

Acne usually occurs in the T-Zone (forehead, nose, and chin), shoulders, back, and chest.

Causes of acne range from hormonal changes, side effects of certain medication, diet, stress levels, weather (hot and humid), hereditary, using wrong skin care products, etc. In some cases, especially for adults, a sudden flare of acne may indicate underlying issues.

Mild acne can be managed with different home remedies or over-the-counter medicines. However, for severe acne, it is best to seek professional help

Depending on the severity of the skin condition, the dermatologist may suggest the course of treatment best suited to manage it. It could be,

• Topical application medicine
• Oral medication
• Therapies like laser treatment, chemical peeling, and usage of steroids

Many myths are floating around about acne. Do not get influenced by them and seek the right information and make the right choice when it comes to the line of treatment. At Alovia clinic we help you in understanding the causes of your acne and provide the treatment accordingly

Acne is a skin condition caused by clogged follicles. The sebum (oil), dirt, dead skin can clog the pores resulting in acne. If not managed well, it can leave ugly, sometimes permanent, scars on the skin.

The most common scars are

• Icepick scars: Narrow, V-Shaped deep scars
• Boxcar scars: Wide U-Shaped sharp-edged scars
• Rolling scars: Wide depressions with sloping edge
• Atrophic scars: Flat and thin scars
• Hypertrophic scars: Thick lumpy scars, mostly on the back
• Dark Spots

Mild scars fade over a period of time, but the deep ones need to be treated for even and radiant-looking skin

It is a good idea to manage your acne first so that any new flare-up does not leave behind more scars. Once the acne is treated, the scar treatment can commence.

Acne scar treatment involves

• Topical application products
• In-clinic procedures like chemical peeling, dermabrasion, etc. This works best for the depressed, but not deep scars.
• Laser treatment works for all types of scars
• Advanced treatments like derma fillers which work best for depressed and deep scars

These treatments significantly reduce the visibility of the scar giving an even look to your skin. At Alovia clinic we have the right expertise to conduct all types of acne scar treatments.

Pigmentation and Melasma are common, harmless skin conditions that happen because of overproduction of the skin pigmentation cells. They leave dark patches (and freckles) on the skin. They usually affect the part of your skin exposed to the sun and sometimes also occur due to hormonal changes in the body.

Statistically, women are at higher risk of getting affected by pigmentation and melasma than men.

Mild pigmentation and melasma go away on their own, but for other cases, professional help is required.

It is always a good idea to reach out to a dermatologist to seek treatment for Melasma. Sometimes, skin cancer can look like melisma, and in such extreme cases, the dermatologist can conduct a skin biopsy during the visit to the clinic.

The first step towards managing pigmentation is to control your exposure to the root cause, like UV rays emitters, and improve your overall intake of Vitamin C and D.

The dermatologist can then provide a combination of treatments ranging from

• Topical medication
• Micro dermabrasion
• Dermabrasion
• Chemical peeling
• Laser therapy

Alovia clinic is well equipped with the latest equipment and experienced doctors to help you in getting rid of the pigmentation. Call us today to know more.

Medifacial is a facial, performed under the supervision of a dermatologist, using medical-grade skin-friendly products which benefit the skin immensely. Besides making your skin look supple and youthful, medifacials also take care of skin conditions like acne, scarring, blemishes, pigmentation, etc. Medifacials are more effective than salon facials and have longer-lasting effects.

Common medifacial techniques are

• Hyperderma abrasion
• Stem cell facials
• Laser facials
• Water jet exfoliation

Medifacials are customized as per the skin type and are conducted under the supervision of an expert dermatologist

Medifacials are safe and effective. However, there might be slight redness or skin breakouts(in some rare cases) after medifacial. Reach out to your dermatologist in any such cases and he/she will guide you in managing these conditions.

Medifacials augmented with a disciplined skin maintenance regime make the effect much longer. Stay well hydrated, protect yourself from harmful UV rays, cleanse regularly, and enjoy radiant glowing skin.

Medical peels or Dermapeels, commonly known as chemical peels, work on the principle of exfoliation, i.e. removing a controlled amount of skin cells (in simple words, layer of skin) to reveal new skin underneath it. It is used to remove fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, scarring, dull complexion, freckles, blemishes, etc. Medical peels are also referred to as skin resurfacing.

This treatment generally does not have any side effects and leaves you with youthful-looking healthier skin. Expect some redness, mild itching, itching, etc, but nothing major. However, it is always better to discuss all aspects with your Doctor. The healing can take a week or two, depending on which level of peeling you have opted for, superficial, medium, or deep.

The dermatologist will guide you in how deep can the peeling go and whether it is a suitable choice of treatment for the skin condition that you may have. This is an important step since peeling is not advised for certain conditions. It is always advisable to get chemical exfoliation treatment done under expert care.

Botox and dermal fillers are minimally invasive procedures that are conducted by skin specialists. People tend to mix these two terms, however, they are different in the way they work.

Botox works on wrinkle lines. It contains botulinum toxin or neurotoxin which freezes the muscles of the injected area by stopping the nerve signal. Without this signal the wrinkles may soften and reduce and in some cases, they may vanish too. It is not a permanent wrinkle removal treatment and needs to be repeated.

Dermal fillers render volume and fullness to the areas where they are injected. Different types of fillers are used for different target treatments. Depending on the type of filler used and how your body accepts it, the treatment may last from months to years.

Both these procedures are fairly safe. The key is choosing the right Dermatologist who can conduct these procedures safely.

It is also advisable to check the cost, process, longevity, and after-effects of the treatment. Alovia team is always ready to help you out with any doubts that you may have.

Mesotherapy was originally developed for pain relief. However, it has evolved over the years as a skin rejuvenating and weight loss technique.

Mesotherapy uses injections of a combination of hormones, vitamins, plant extracts, homeopathic agents, enzymes for skin tightening, recontouring, skin lightening, and losing excess cellulite. The injections are customized as per the patient undergoing the treatment.

Mesotherapy can also be used for treating hair loss and pain relief for issues like sports injuries, menstrual pains, migraine, gout, etc.

In some cases, mesotherapy can be used as an alternative to liposuction to remove excess fat, but the results are not at par with liposuction. Mesotherapy is much easier on the pocket compared to liposuction. It is less invasive, less painful, and leaves almost no scars.

These days ultrasonic mesotherapy is gaining popularity which is a needle-free procedure.

Minor side effects are associated with Mesotherapy, like skin sensitivity, swelling, rashes, etc. But they do not last for long. Recovery time after Mesotherapy is almost nil.

Mesotherapy should be done by an expert dermatologist since it requires a patient’s health evaluation before the treatment plan can be made. The dermatologist can also guide in case Mesotherapy is contraindicated for people with certain preconditions.

Alovia’s experts are fully trained and knowledgeable to guide you through the Mesotherapy process. Contact us to know more details.
