Alleviate Discomfort And Be Confident In Your Own Skin
Tiny, benign, pearly-white, or yellowish cysts known as milia, or “milia seeds,” usually show up on the face, particularly in the areas surrounding the eyes, nose, and cheeks.
However, they can also show up on other body parts. These tiny, hard bumps are called superficial keratin-filled cysts, and they develop when dead skin cells get trapped beneath the skin’s surface.
The exact cause of milia is not always clear, but these are the factors that may contribute to the issue:
Moles or Nevi, are recognisable by its brown or black colour. They come in different sizes, shapes, and colours and can appear anywhere on the skin. Melanocytes, which produce pigment, are the cells that give moles their distinctive colour. They can vary in quantity and appearance over time, and they typically emerge between childhood and adolescence.
Even while moles are often benign, certain people may be more susceptible to developing melanoma, a kind of skin cancer, or unusual moles (dysplastic nevi). Consider paying our doctor a visit should you have any concerns or notice any changes in your moles.
Moles are primarily caused by the clustering or grouping of melanocytes, which are the pigment-producing cells in the skin. However, there are also other factors that contribute to the development of moles:
Skin tags, often referred to as acrochordons, are benign, small, soft growths that usually show up as tiny, fleshy protrusions on the skin. Skin tags are prevalent and can appear on the neck, groyne, underarms, eyelids, and under the breasts, among other areas of the body. They can come in rounded or in an uneven form. They could have a rounded or uneven form.
Skin tags can be irritating even though they are usually harmless, especially if they appear in areas that are prone to irritation or friction.
The exact cause of skin tags (acrochordons) is not fully understood, but these several factors may contribute to their development:
Keloids is an elevated overgrowth of scar tissue that appears after a wound, cut, surgical incision, vaccination site, or acne lesion. The scars grow larger than the original damage and extend beyond the wound or incision site, in contrast to regular scars, which are often flat and disappear over time.
Minor skin injuries can also cause keloids to form, and some people may be more genetically prone to getting them.
There are several factors may contribute to the development of Keloids on the skin:
Glowwis provides a comprehensive approach to target unsightly imperfections across the skin. Dr. Sam Pradeep will assess each patient’s conditions and goals to provide the most suitable treatment to effectively address the issues.
Q-switched lasers are commonly used for mole removal. The laser work is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis. This principle involves using a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the targeted pigmented tissue (melanin in the case of moles) without significantly affecting the surrounding skin. The body’s natural healing process then helps remove the treated mole over time.
To remove warts, CO2 Laser is utilised. The wart contracts and eventually falls off as a result of the laser’s destruction of the blood vessels supplying it. Our doctor can precisely manage how much tissue is removed when using CO2 lasers. This accuracy is crucial for locating the wart and eliminating it with the least amount of harm inflicted on the surrounding healthy tissue.
Chemical peels can be used as they help to rejuvenate and improve the texture, tone, and pigmentation of the skin. The chemical solution which normally consists of BHA and AHA acid serve to exfoliate the outer skin layer, promoting new and healthier skin underneath.
Dr. Sam Pradeep will perform a comprehensive skin analysis to identify the condition of the patient and prescribe medications upon necessary.
Steroid injections, with their anti-inflammatory and collagen-inhibiting properties, are commonly used to treat keloid scars by reducing inflammation, softening and flattening the scar tissue, and preventing recurrence after surgical removal.
