Looking younger doesn’t have to mean Cosmetic Surgery

Men and women can choose from a variety of non surgical procedures that can turn back the clock. The procedures discussed here were designed to reverse, improve or erase the earliest signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and sun damaged skin. They are often referred to as “Lunchtime procedures” because they take very little time to perform and do not have any recovery period.

Signs of Facial Aging

In your thirties, Wrinkles and age spots may begin to appear. Your skin may seem less radiant and may show signs of discoloration.

In your forties, the collagen and elastin support network begin to break down. Lines and wrinkles become more prominent as your skin become dryer. The blood flow begins to slow down, leaving your skin with less of a blush.

Once in your fifties, the new cell production decreases. Your skin retains less water, which increases the wrinkles formation. At the same time the underlying fat cells in your face shrink and your excess skin begins to sag.

Why are they called Lunchtime Procedures?

They are called lunchtime procedures because you can improve various signs of aging in just a short period of time and return to your normal activities immediately. Your skin will have a healthy glow, age spots will lighten or disappear, wrinkles around the eyes and frown lines will be soften, and sagging skin can be improved. Patients love these procedures because they help slow down the appearance of aging. It’s easier than ever before to look your best.

Your treatment options   

Botox Injections relax the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal facial expression to be unaffected.

Photo rejuvenation is designed to combat the effects of aging in a gentler way. The procedure is performed with lasers that use intense pulsed light to treat age spots, broken capillaries, and blotchy pigmentation and improve the appearance of wrinkles. After your treatment the treated vein or lesion will gradually fade and slowly disappear, leaving your skin smoother and softer.

Non-Ablative Lasers treat wrinkles by stimulating the production of your body’s own collagen. This newly formed collagen fills the wrinkles from within. Some patients see improvement after only one treatment. Unlike CO₂ and Erbium lasers, there is no downtime.

Wrinkle Injections using soft tissue fillers can improve the appearance of facial wrinkles. Fillers can also add fullness to the lips and reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Dermaroller or Micro Needling Therapy (also called skin rollers, microneedle rollers, and dermarollers) is a small hand-held rolling device which has micro surgical steel needles that reach the inner surface of your skin to promote skin repair from the inside out. It stimulates elastin and collagen production in the skin without causing any damage. Derma Rollers are supported by clinical studies to be effective in non-surgical and non-ablative treatment for a variety of skin conditions. These include aging, (wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks), scarring, (acne and breast augmentation), as well as cellulite and hyperpigmentation. Regular use of derma roller can thicken skin, smooth scars of all sizes, and erase wrinkles. The dermaroller has become very popular and is proven effective for:
* Stretch Mark Removal and Stretch Mark Treatment
* Acne Scar Removal / Acne Scar Treatment
* Anti Wrinkle Treatment / Anti Aging
* Surgical Scar Removal
* Cellulite Treatment and Cellulite Reduction

Microdermabrasion leaves your skin softer, smoother and fresher looking. In as little as twenty minutes, this gentle, abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results.

Beautiful & Healthy Skin with Non Surgical Cosmetic Procedures

Non Surgical Cosmetic Procedures- Beautiful & Healthy skin without surgery!

The stress of current day life and environmental pollution is having an effect on our body. This hastens the effects of ageing, which is most visible on our skin.

Lifestyle changes, like giving up smoking and alcohol and eating a healthy balanced diet with regular physical exercise is advisable.

These days various non surgical solutions have become available, which can help to combat the effects of ageing without resorting to surgery.

They work by smoothing out lines and restoring volume and giving you a healthier, younger looking skin.

Several courses of the treatments are usually recommended.

Laser facial resurfacing is a technique that can remove the upper layers of the skin using laser treatment. This will rejuvenate your skin making it look healthier and more youthful.

It can be used to tighten your skin, treat fine wrinkles, evening out pigmented area and smoothing rough skin like improving the look of shallow acne or chicken pox scars.

Dermal fillers

As the skin ages, it loses its elasticity. Dermal filler is a substance which is injected into the skin to restore volume, making it firmer and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. They can be used smooth out forehead frown lines, nose mouth grooves, crow’s feet etc

There are various fillers available today and a full explanation of the type used will be given during the consultation.

Non surgical hair removal

Laser treatment is now being widely used to effectively remove unwanted hair from all parts of the body.

For Your New Figure

Obesity affects two of every three people. For those morbidly obese patients, dieting and exercise just doesn’t work. Their excessive weight adversely affects their quality of life and that  of their families. They are in constant discomfort with aching joints and backs. They are high risk candidates to develop ischemic heart disease (IHD), diabetes or cancer. For them Bariatric surgery is their only hope, and their last resort.

Most Bariatric surgeries performed are gastric bypasses. A gastric bypass sections off a section of the stomach and re-routes food to the small intestine. This results in less food intake and a reduction in the calories absorbed by the body.

One drawback to bariatric surgery is that over time the loss of pounds may result in large pockets of loose, sagging, unattractive, excess skin. This excessive skin can continue to interfere or just looking good.

Your Surgeon

Prior to undergoing any Bariatric procedure it is important to consult with your surgeon. Together you can plan to deal with removing the final mark of your obesity. The excess skin left behind after your body looses weight.

Body Contouring

Body contouring can improve your figure and remove the excess skin and fatty deposits that are left after your Bariatric surgery.

The most common post Bariatric body contouring surgeries combine liposuction with excision body lifting. Generally body lifting is divided into the central body and trunk lift, the inner thigh lift, the arm lift and a breast lift or reduction

What will my recovery be like?

You will go home after the procedure and rest for at least 24 hours, after which you may gradually increase your activity as tolerated. Some discomfort and pain is to be expected, but it can be controlled with medication. The bandage over the incision site will be removed the day after surgery and you will be able to shower. Generally, it is necessary to wear a light compression garment two to three weeks after your surgery. All sutures are internal and absorbable. After 2 or 3 days you may resume most non-strenuous activities. Most patients return to work after a week or two. Sport and other strenuous activities are prohibited for at least two months.  

How will my skin look after surgery?

During the first 10 to 14 days, you will be bruised at and the surgical site. Scars will be red for the first few months, but they will gradually fade. Patients who have had liposuction will have more swelling than those who only had a lift performed. The use of smaller cannulas during liposuction allows the fibrous connections between your skin and body to remain. These connections will contract over time, after which the excessive skin folds will be gone. Following your surgery, you will enjoy the new more pleasing youthful shape you desire.

लक्ष्यकीरण लेसर सेंटर - तुमचा सौंदर्य साथी

Nothing is quite as beautiful as smooth, soft & glowing skin.

Skin is body’s largest organ and one of the most important because it protects all other organs of the body from external environment. While doing duty of gardening the body, skin itself gets affected by these external factors and over ages, the effects of the sun, wind, time and hormones begin to appear on it. But now maintaining its youthful & vibrant appearance doesn’t have to be a difficult process any longer.

Understanding Skin

Our skin is made up of two layers. The outer layer which is visible is called epidermis. This layer is gets replaced periodically about every 3 months as newly produced cells in its deepest layer push outer layers upwards & cells from the uppermost layer get shed off without our knowledge. One can test this by rubbing the forearms against each other over a beam of sunlight entering the house & the sun flakes will shine on it.  The inner layer, called dermis is the main layer. It is many times ticker than the epidermis & contains important appendages of the skin such as oil & sweat glands, hair roots, blood vessels & nerve ending through which we sense the external world by touch, temperature & pain sensation. So, given a simily of a house wall, epidermis is the external thin layer of plaster, while the dermis being the thick main brick wall. Here the bricks are collagen with interspersed elastin fibers as plaster.

The Aging process

The early signs of aging are when fine lines begin to appear on skin around the eyes and lips. This is because the collagen and elastin fibers begin to wear out and then deeper lines and grooves form between brows (frown lines), next to the nose on cheeks (naso- Labial folds) and down to the corners of the mouth. Surface irregularities such as pigment discolorations may also occur.

Many patients wish that there was a safe, easy and quick way to get rid of their red complexion, fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and large pores. Fortunately, today advanced technologies enables us to treat these skin imperfections safely, easily and effectively with very little, if any downtime.

Laser Rejuvenation         

Advances in the treatment of aging skin have continued to improve from dermabrasion to chemical peels to CO₂ and Erbium laser skin resurfacing. However all of these treatments exfoliate the protective outer layer of the skin, which may require bandages and a somewhat lengthy recovery period.

Who are the best candidates for photo rejuvenation?

The best candidates have:

·         Red, flushed faces

·         Sun damaged skin

·         Hyper pigmentation

·         Enlarged pores

What results can be expected?

After each session you will experience some improvement in skin tone and texture. There will be decrease in the overall redness and flushing. Sun spots will fade, pore size will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size and number as the new collagen forms beneath the skin. You will experience tightness of facial skin. These improvements will continue with subsequent treatment.

सौंदर्यवृद्धीसाठी कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी

कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरी हि प्लास्टिक सर्जरीची एक उपशाखा आहे. सौंदर्य वृद्धी साठी करण्यात येणाऱ्या सर्व ऑपरेशन चा यात अंतर्भाव होतो. यात नाकाचा आकार सुधारणे, जाड ओठ  पातळ करणे वा पातळ ओठांना 'पाऊट' देण्यासाठी फुगीरपणा आणणे, तोंडाच्या आतून ऑपरेशन करून गालावर सुंदरशी खळी पाडणे, अर्धवट मिटलेली पापणी टोसीस सर्जरीने उघडणे,हनुवटीचा आकार प्रमाणात आणणे, हनुवटी खालील 'डबल चिन' लाय्पोसक्शन ने काढून टाकणे, तसेच शरीराच्या कुठल्याही भागावरील अतिरिक्त चरबी  कायमची काढण्यासाठी लाय्पोसक्शन हि शस्त्रक्रिया वरदानच ठरते

वार्धक्याच्या खुणा पुसून टाकण्यासाठी फेस लिफ्ट, फोरहेड लिफ्ट, डोळ्याभोवतीचा फुगीरपणा कमी करण्यासाठी ब्लेफेरोप्लास्टी या शस्त्रक्रिया वापरल्या जातात. चेहऱ्यावरील छोट्या सुरकुत्या, कपाळावरील, भुवया जवळील आठ्या 'बोटोक्स' इंजेक्शनने चुटकीसरशी घालवता येतात.

कॉस्मेटिक सर्जरीने फक्त माणसाचं दिसण सुधारत अस नाही तर त्या व्यंगामुळे आलेला न्यूनगंड जाऊन ती व्यक्ती अंतर्बाह्य 'सुंदर' होते, नवीन आत्मविश्वासाने आपली ध्येये साध्य करायला पुढे सरसावते.

Pause the ageing process with laser treatment

          Getting older and the skin problems which come with aging such as wrinkles is the worst nightmare for many people. Your skin can start facing many other problems like dead cells, enlarged pores and dull looking skin with aging, so your skin needs to be rejuvenated in order to keep it looking and feeling healthy. This is where laser treatment can help.

The treatment

There are two main types of laser treatment to treat aging problems – photo rejuvenation and ultrasound treatment. In the first process, the pigments of the affected areas are broken into fragments and removed completely. This results in the formation of new and younger looking skin. The second method uses exfoliation with laser to treat your skin. Exfoliation helps to clear different skin problems such as blackheads. This method also rejuvenates your skin giving it a healthier and more youthful look.

Sessions needed to treat the problem

Around three to five sessions are generally needed, and a gap of two to three weeks is taken between every session depending upon the healing process of the skin. It takes six to eight weeks to completely develop new cells, and this rejuvenated skin lasts for approximately 12 months.

Laser treatments are much more beneficial and cost effective than other beauty treatments, and guarantees much longer lasting effects.

RF FRACTIONAL CO2 Laser Treatment Provides Best Results in Short Time

These days, it seems like everyone is looking for the best way to fight wrinkles.

For many, a face lift is a very effective treatment, while others are reluctant about surgery. 

Some people prefer Botox, while others are unsettled at the idea of using a toxin to eliminate wrinkles. There are many creams and gels that purport to stop wrinkles, but few if any show results. 

The RF Fractional CO2 laser treatment is one method of wrinkle reduction and skin treatment that many people are beginning to turn toward. Safe, simple, and short, this procedure offers excellent results in approximately twenty to forty minutes.

RF Fractional CO2 laser treatment has many benefits.  In addition to reducing wrinkles, it can also smooth scars, rejuvenate skin that has been damaged by the sun, and create an even skin tone by minimizing discolorations. 

This brief procedure is done as an outpatient procedure and requires only local anesthesia, though some doctors and patients prefer the use of a mild sedative to eliminate anxiety.

Patients who undergo the procedure are allowed to return home immediately after. The procedure itself involves placing carefully guided pulses of light on the skin to vaporize the top layer to a specific depth, revealing clear, healthy skin beneath. 

After this brief procedure, patients can feel mild discomfort, compared to what is felt during mild sunburn.  Patients are given a soothing ointment that alleviates the discomfort while sealing out air until the skin is completely healed. 

A majority of patients report complete satisfaction with RF Fractional CO2 laser treatment.

There are many benefits to this treatment.  Patients typically appreciate the ease with which the procedure works to even out skin and skin tone on both face and neck skin.

Healing after the procedure is very rapid and requires only minimal care, with all redness subsiding within a week.  Perhaps one of the biggest benefits for patients, however, is that goals can usually be achieved with only one to two treatments. 

Unlike some procedures that must be done frequently or for prolonged periods of time to achieve results, Rf Fractional CO2 laser treatment provides patients with a fast and effective method of wrinkle reduction, scar removal and tone blending that is entirely non-invasive and free of injected toxins.  While both face lifts and Botox have their merits, for some patients RF Fractional CO2 laser treatments are simply the ideal treatment for repairing and treating the skin.

Photo Rejuvenation with Laser: Easy & Effective Skin Care Treatment

We all want to have smooth skin and clear complexion. When pimples come out, in young ages we all tend to squeeze and flatten them out. While many of us do this, it is not a good practice as this may lead to short and long-term problems such as persistent redness, large brown stains, and scarring. The best way to avoid having scars from pimples or getting rid of them is undergoing a photo rejuvenation skin care treatment. It has been seen that stains and scars are often confused or misinterpret. Stains are pale or brown flat marks whereas scars are indentations or pock marks in the skin. Scars develop from small as well as large lumpy pimples.

To avoid both scars and stains, photo rejuvenation skin care with Laser is an effective treatment. This treatment prevents the acne in the first place and also treats it early by avoiding picking or squeezing the spots. Photo rejuvenation skin care treatment mainly uses pulses of visible therapeutic light over many wavelengths. They usually deliver energy to all layers of the skin. This magical treatment mainly last about 30 minutes. However, its duration can vary depending on the skin type. The emitted light energy is absorbed by color and the associated heat helps cure the spot.

In photo rejuvenation skin care treatment, the vein or pigmented skin area is damaged by the heat and slowly peels off or disappears. This results in a clear patch of skin. Photo rejuvenation skin care treatment’s stimulation also increases collagen and elastin production. This result in the cells continuous activation, the collagen comes to the surface filling in fine lines and wrinkles.

There is a belief that photo rejuvenation skin care treatment isn’t totally safe. However, such believes are wrong as the treatment is safe and painless. Within few treatments you can experience a smooth and clear skin. If you are in Kolhapur and looking for photo rejuvenation skin care treatment, look no further as Lakshyakiran Skin and Cosmetic Laser Center is at your service.

Lakshyakiran Skin and Cosmetic Laser Center is a Kolhapur based skin care center offering a wide range of skin care treatments with laser. Before beginning with your photo rejuvenation skin care treatment, Lakshyakiran Skin and Cosmetic Laser Center’s doctor will analyze your skin to make a treatment chart. This treatment chart depicts the number of treatments you will be undergoing for how many weeks.

Skin Tightening

Several non-invasive devices can tighten the skin. While these devices do not deliver the results of a surgical lifting procedure such as a facelift, they can produce mild to modest tightening by sending heat deep into the skin. The heat causes some immediate tissue tightening and signals the body to start making new collagen. As the new collagen forms, skin may appear firmer and tighter. There is virtually no downtime.

Technologies used for this non-invasive skin tightening include:
• Infrared laser
• Pulsed infrared light
• Radiofrequency

Signs of Aging Treated
Different devices are used to tighten skin on virtually every area of the body. Most people choose non-invasive skin tightening to:

• Firm forehead and cheeks
• Lift the eyebrows
• Tighten jowls and neck
• Reduce wrinkles around the eyes
• Diminish the appearance of cellulite
• Tighten skin on the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs

What Happens During Skin Tightening?
If you are considering non-invasive skin tightening and want to know what would happen if you underwent this procedure, visit Skin Tightening: What to Expect Before, During, and After.

When See Results from Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
Patients may see some improvement after the first treatment session. One study reported that some patients saw a 40% to 60% improvement after the initial treatment, with continued improvement noticeable for up to 1 year after a series of treatments.

Most patients, however, will notice gradual improvement over 4 to 6 months. It also is possible that minimal or no improvement results from non-invasive skin tightening.

With recent improvements in the technologies used for non-invasive skin tightening though, more patients are seeing positive results. These improvements also allow more areas of the body to be successfully treated.

Effectiveness
Results tend to be modest, but noticeable. Skin-tightening devices cannot produce the results possible with a surgical lifting procedure such as a brow lift or facelift. However, both younger and older patients can be treated successfully without downtime. These skin-tightening devices cause the body to produce more collagen, which makes the skin thicker and firmer.

Earlobe Rejuvenation- You don't ever have to retire your favorite pair of earrings...

Just like the skin on the rest of our body, the earlobes change over time with aging and exposure to the sun. As collagen and elasticity decrease, the earlobes can become elongated and thin, with fine wrinkling on the surface. This can make it difficult to wear certain types of earrings due to lack of structural support around the post of the earring. The piercing hole may also become weak and stretched out or torn. Some scientists have even suggested you can tell the relative age of someone by the length of their earlobes.


In our cosmetic culture, earlobe rejuvenation is not uncommon and there are several options.

If your earlobes are of a generally good size and shape but your earrings are starting to droop, a good option is to use an injectable filler such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse or Evolence to plump them up and add support. This can be done on your lunch hour and you can continue to wear earrings immediately after the procedure.

If your earlobes are overly elongated, you can have them surgically shortened with a simple outpatient procedure. This is normally done under local anesthesia in the office with sutures left in place for about a week.

Earlobes with excessive wrinkling can be improved with either fractional or ablative skin resurfacing.
