DERMAROLLER TREATMENT
Medical skin needling,
also called Collagen Induction Therapy and Micro-needling, is a
relatively new among minimally invasive skin treatment techniques. It is aimed
at stimulating the body’s collagen production to improve the skin texture and reduce
appearance of scarring and fine to moderate lines. It is used as an alternative
to laser resurfacing and is said to be successful in hair restoration in cases
of alopecia.
The procedure involves
introduction of a series of fine surgical needles into the skin. Pain control
is achieved by the application of a topical local anaesthetic . The needles are
attached to a single-use sterile roller, which is gently rolled over the
surface of the skin to create multiple microscopic columns. This procedure stimulates
a wound healing response leading to new collagen formation.
Skin cells in a radius of 1-2 mm around the needles’ entry points, release growth signals to undifferentiated cells. These signals stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts to transform into collagen and elastin fibres. Fibroblasts migrate to the point of intrusion closing the wound and integrating into the existing collagen formation in the upper dermis.

This new fibre
formation thickens the skin filling former atrophic scars. The induced colla
gen forms a new layer. The endothelial cells are stimulated to proliferate. They sprout new capillaries thus creating better blood supply to the skin.
It can take up to 6 weeks to produce visible results of regeneration, however, the process will continue over the following months providing a gradual and longer-lasting improvement. A typical course of treatment will include a series of 3 – 5 sessions four weeks apart.

ACNE AND ITS CAUSES
PIMPLES (ACNE) AND ITS CAUSES
A Pimple is a small pustule or papule. Pimples
are small skin lesions or inflammation of the skin. They are sebaceous glands
(oil glands) which are infected with bacteria swell up and then fill up with
pus.
Pimples
occur when the sebaceous glands which are located at the base of hair follicles
become overactive. The most vulnerable parts of the body are the face, back,
chest and shoulder.
All kinds of pimples if treated in time can
minimize infection and scarring on face and body. Pimples can occur on
shoulders back and chest also. So avoid wearing tight clothes as friction leads
to spreading of acne. Wash your face twice daily and do not prick the pimples
to avoid scarring.
What are the sebaceous glands:-
The
sebaceous glands are tiny skin glands which secrete sebum a waxy/oily substance
to lubricate the skin and hairs of mammals.
If a breakout of pimples occur doctor
recommend that they should be treated promptly to prevent the risk developing
severe acne. There is also the danger that untreated severe acne may result in
visible scars on the skin.
What are the causes of pimples :-
The sebaceous glands which produce sebum
exist inside the pores of our skin. The outer layers of our skin are being shed
continuously.
Sometimes
deads skin cells left behind and get stuck together by the sticky sebum ,
causing blockage in the pore resulting in acne.Pore blockage is more likely to
occur during puberty.
The skin of
people who are prone to acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of
testosterone a natural harmones found in both males and females. In such people
the testosterone can make the sebaceous glands to produce too much sebum making
the clogging of dead skin cells more likely which in turn produces pimples. Pimples
are not infectious.

SUMMER CARE TIPS
You can surely guess the first step to take in
skin care this summer! Yes, use sunscreen! You’ve heard this a thousand times
probably. Skin cancer is the biggest danger and besides that, we can avoid
those early wrinkles, patches of discoloration, and thick leathery texture.
EFFECTIVE USE OF SUNSCREEN
§ The minimum SPF you should look for is 15, which provides 93% protection. If you’re very fair in complexion, look for 30, which gives 97% protection and if necessary, go even higher.
§ If you’re on snow, sand or water, be aware that these environments intensify the UV rays by reflecting the sun. Remember too that UV rays are most intense at midday, UV rays are also more intense at higher altitudes.So apply sunscreen if you are planning a vacation to some hill station.
§ Don’t wait to apply sunscreen until you’ve been out in the sun a while and are feeling the heat on your skin. Apply it 20 or 30 minutes before you head outdoors to give it time to soak in and start working.
§ Remember to re-apply about every 2 hours. If you’re swimming or sweating to any extent, re-apply even the waterproof varieties.
§ Don’t abandon your sunscreen when the sky gets cloudy. About 80% of UV rays penetrate light clouds, although heavy cloud blocks mostly blocks them. Even while travelling by car with AC on a sunscreen is a must as the UV rays get reflected by the windows.
General summer skin care tips
§ Be cautious with exfoliation products. They’re good for some parts of the body but not necessarily for the face. Avoid facial scrubs with coarse granules because they can cause tiny tears in the skin, which lead to uneven pigmentation after you’ve been in the sun enough.
§ As an alternative to scrubs, use cleansers and moisturizers containing alpha-hydroxy acids, as these will gently exfoliate and improve the skin’s texture and tone.
§ Try using an oil-free moisturizer if your skin feels too greasy in the heat.
§ If you don’t need any moisturizer, wear a foundation with an SPF of 15 or more.
