These treatments do not impinge on their working hours, nor do they have to take a day off for it. Here's a lowdown.
Ultherapy Courteney Cox and Kim Kardashian went through this newest non-surgical process in the market called Ultherapy that uses tiny electric shocks to tighten the skin on the eyebrows, face and neck. Fairly new in India, it uses ultrasonic therapy for collagen renewal of the skin. "This minimally invasive technique heats up the subcutaneous tissue at different levels, thus shrinking the skin and making it look younger," says senior cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mohan Thomas. Cosmetic dermatologist and laser surgeon Dr. Apratim Goel adds, "Ultherapy uses HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to contour the face. Rather than tiny electric shocks, it feels like deep dermal heating." The treatment is suitable on all skin types. Time taken: It takes an hour to an hour-and-a-half, so it can even be done during lunchtime. Drawback: This method could lead to hyper pigmentation or cause burns sometimes.
Micro-needling In this process, a derma roller with multiple fine needles induces collagen and treats acne and scars, thus resulting in smooth skin. Cosmetic dermatologist and laser specialist Dr. Abhijit Desai says, "Post giving topical anaesthesia on the face, the roller is rolled on the desired area till the condition of pinpoint bleeding. The micro injury on the skin surface leads to collagen stimulation, followed by improved skin texture. This provides long-term results and needs approximately three-four sessions." Time taken: The entire procedure lasts for 15-20 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Drawbacks: It can cause redness and soreness of skin.
Microdermabrasion It is basically an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves the skin looking softer and brighter. Dermatologist and skin specialist Dr. Sushil Tahiliani says, "Dead cells are removed from the skin surface using a suction device or by spraying diamond crystals or zinc powder onto the skin. It gives temporary results for one or two weeks, but is safe." This is a less aggressive technique. Time taken: It takes 30-45 minutes or 45-60 minutes, depending on the depth of the treatment. Drawbacks: "The procedure used here is a little harsh," says Dr Goel, adding, "Sensitive skins can experience rash or even scratch marks. It can also cause acne."
Mesotherapy An old technique, the basic idea behind Mesotherapy is to inject medication for lipolysis. It can be done on both the skin and the scalp. Aesthetic physician Dr. Jamuna Pai explains, "Fine little openings are made using a needle or derma roller or a meso-gun. This, in the end, leads to a uniform glowing skin and tighter contours. Cocktails are used on the hair. Mesotherapy is also done to dissolve the subcutaneous fat or lipoma." This process does not have many benefits, except the hydration of the intradermis, says Pai. Time taken: Each session is convenient and quick, lasting for approximately 20-30 minutes. Drawback: There are short-term side effects.
Notox A non-invasive beauty treatment, the effects of Notox are often said to be more long-lasting than Botox. "It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, wherein the nerves supplying the facial muscles on the forehead are damaged using radio waves. Consequently, it causes smoothening of face, wrinkle reduction and Botox-like effects without injecting toxin. Almost painless, there are no side effects," explains Dr. Goel. Time taken: It takes about 20-30 minutes. Drawback: Dr. Goel says that if the wrong muscle is paralysed, the effects can be damaging and long term.
