The skin story

For all those who move out in the sun too much or are at the age where wrinkles begin to mar the looks, can go in for Bio-lifting whereby the skin is stimulated by passing electric vibrations in controlled frequencies which tone up and and contract the skin muscles that have come lose due to a variety of factors. Normally, 13 sittings are prescribes for at least a 70 per cent improvement in the skin structure. The cost may be a deterrent for some, with the total package costing nearly Rs. 12, 500.

However, says Richa Aggarwal, who8217;s managing Curls and Curves: 8220;We guarantee the treatment we provide, though the number of sittings may vary from client to client. We advise people in the age-group of 35 to 40 to go in for this treatment for at a later stage, it takes more time and the result percentage also declines.8221;

Not every skin problem has such simple solutions, though. Often, two or more therapies are combined along with special face packs and products to achieve the desired results.For instance, the laser technology is used to control falling hair, for wrinkle erasure and for removal of scar tissue. But for each skin problem it is combined with other therapies like facial scars can be removed with the help of laser treatment combined with fruit peel which helps to plug in the tissue that has come undone due to the skin damage. For falling hair, laser is given in combination with specially manufactured shampoos and hair oils. This treatment helps activate the body metabolism and rejuvenates the dead cells which leads to hair growth. The problem of dandruff is also countered with the ozone treatment combined with tonics, oils and packs that remove dead skin and help in hair re-growth.

Baljeet Kaur, 22, who underwent a treatment for excessive pigmentation on her upper lip and cheeks was given the laser treatment in combination with bio-peel. She says: 8220;I could see the difference in two sittings and by the end of the treatment my freckles had vanished almost completely. But one of the reasons for this could be that I had not tempered with my skin too much before the treatment so that the therapy was highly effective.8221;

Acne, which a common enough and a universal problem, also has guaranteed treatment that comprises enzyme therapy and thermodyn. The treatment includes the anti-pollution therapy after which the exfoliating process takes place and then ozone steam provides stimulation to the skin after which comes the enzyme application which takes care of the acne and its scars. Laser is also used in this treatment to help the fluid ooze out of the boils after which the healing process begins.

The treatment requires 15 sittings at the minimum and may even stretch longer if the problem is aggravated.

The treatment costs anything between Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000 though the results are guaranteed.
