Skin conditions and imperfections can be unpleasant and cause great self-consciousness to their sufferers.

ACNE / ACNE SCARS

Acne occurs when there is an accumulation of oil, dirt, bacteria, or dead skin cells, known as sebum, that clog your pores.

Benign Growths

Benign tumors or growths are abnormal lumps of cells that do not affect the surrounding tissues.

CELLULITE

Cellulite is a common, harmless skin condition characterized by lumpy, dimpled flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen.

AGING HANDS

As collagen and fat in the hands fade, veins and tendons may become more visible, making the hands appear bony and unattractive.

FUNGUS

A fungus can cause a fungal infection that may affect your hair, nails, skin, mucous membranes, or other body parts.

LARGE PORES

Enlarged pores are depressions in the surface of the facial skin that contain one or more openings to the ducts that carry sweat and oil from the eccrine and sebaceous glands.

LIPOMAS

Lipomas are a fairly common benign fat cell tumor. Although they can be painful or occur in inconvenient locations, they frequently pose only a cosmetic challenge for patients.

SCARS

A scar is a growth of tissue marking the spot where the skin has healed after an injury. Scars are part of the natural healing process after an injury.

NOSE JOB

This non-invasive augmentation procedure is completely transforming the field of nasal and rhinoplasty surgery.

STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks are discolored scars found on the skin. They are caused by shearing forces or tearing of the deeper skin layers and are generally permanent.

EXCESSIVE SWEATING

Excessive sweating, which is known as hyperhidrosis. These are most likely to be excessive wetness in the underarms, palms of the hands, and/or soles of the feet.

TEETH GRINDING/CLENCHING/TMJ

Also known as bruxism, this condition where an individual grinds and clenches the teeth can cause serious damage over time.

SKIN CHECKS & SCREENINGS

Skin screenings involve looking for signs of skin cancer all over the body. It helps catch skin cancer early, giving you a higher chance of treating it using the right approach.

SUN DAMAGE

The sun gives off ultraviolet (UV) rays, which cause minor damage to healthy skin cells. Over time, the damage accumulates, resulting in premature aging of the skin.

TATTOO REMOVAL

A high-intensity light beam is targeted at the pigmentation, causing it to break apart, become absorbed into the body, and be excreted through the body’s natural immune system.

VITILIGO

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system attacks the body’s melanocytes. Melanocytes are the melanin-producing cells of the skin.

WRINKLES

A wrinkle is a fold or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically result from age, genetic predisposition and most importantly sun damage.
