One of the most commonly used allergy remedies, nasal sprays can temporarily relieve sinus-related symptoms.Thinkstock

Allergy treatments vary depending on the severity of your condition and the type of allergy you have.

If your allergies are severe enough to significantly interfere with your quality of life, it's important to see a doctor in order to identify what you are allergic to and to gain access to the full range of prescription options.

If your allergies are less severe or merely annoying, you may be able to find an effective over-the-counter (OTC) treatment. A pharmacist can help you choose the best option based on your symptoms.

Perhaps the most commonly used remedies for certain allergy-related symptoms are nasal sprays. There are several different sprays available, both OTC and prescription, that can temporarily help relieve sinus-related symptoms.  Read More

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nasal steroid or corticosteroid sprays used to be available by prescription only. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Nasacort AQ (triamcinolone) for nonprescription treatment in 2013, followed by OTC Flonase (fluticasone ) the following year.

These sprays work by reducing inflammation and mucus in nasal passageways. For people with allergic rhinitis (hay fever), nasal steroid sprays can “provide relief from one of the most bothersome allergy symptoms: nasal stuffiness or congestion,” says Clifford Bassett, MD, a clinical assistant professor at NYU Langone Health in New York City.

Nasal steroids are particularly helpful for severe or persistent symptoms, but they can take a few days to start working. If you have seasonal allergies, your doctor may advise that you start using nasal steroids about a week before you expect symptoms to begin. They can be used daily for seasonal or year-round symptoms. Click Here

Phototherapy Psoriasis treatment in kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

 Phototherapy Psoriasis treatment in kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

Psoriasis treatments aim to stop skin cells from growing so quickly and to remove scales. Options include creams and ointments (topical therapy), light therapy (phototherapy), and oral or injected medication.

Which treatments you use depends on how severe the psoriasis is and how responsive it has been to previous treatment. You might need to try different drugs or a combination of treatments before you find an approach that works for you. Usually, however, the disease returns. Read More

• Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid shampoos and scalp solutions reduce the scaling of scalp psoriasis. It may be used alone, or to enhance the ability of other medications to more easily penetrate the skin.

• Coal tar. Coal tar reduces scaling, itching and inflammation. It's available over-the-counter or by prescription in various forms, such as shampoo, cream and oil. These products can irritate the skin. They're also messy, stain clothing and bedding, and can have a strong odor.

  Coal tar treatment isn't recommended for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.

• Goeckerman therapy. Some doctors combine coal tar treatment with light therapy, which is known as Goeckerman therapy. The two therapies together are more effective than either alone because coal tar makes skin more receptive to UVB light.
• Anthralin. Anthralin (another tar product) is a cream used to slow skin cell growth. It can also remove scales and make skin smoother. It should not be used on the face or genitals. Anthralin can irritate skin, and it stains almost anything it touches. It's usually applied for a short time and then washed off. Click Here
  

 

Light therapy

Light therapy is a first-line treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis, either alone or in combination with medications. It involves exposing the skin to controlled amounts of natural or artificial light. Repeated treatments are necessary. Talk with your doctor about whether home phototherapy is an option for you.

• Sunlight. Brief, daily exposures to sunlight (heliotherapy) might improve psoriasis. Before beginning a sunlight regimen, ask your doctor about the safest way to use natural light for psoriasis treatment.
• UVB broadband. Controlled doses of UVB broadband light from an artificial light source can treat single patches, widespread psoriasis and psoriasis that doesn't improve with topical treatments. Short-term side effects might include redness, itching and dry skin. Moisturizing regularly can help ease your discomfort.
• UVB narrowband. UVB narrowband light therapy might be more effective than UVB broadband treatment and in many places has replaced broadband therapy. It's usually administered two or three times a week until the skin improves and then less frequently for maintenance therapy. Narrowband UVB phototherapy may cause more-severe and longer lasting burns, however. More Details
  

• Psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA). This treatment involves taking a light-sensitizing medication (psoralen) before exposure to UVA light. UVA light penetrates deeper into the skin than does UVB light, and psoralen makes the skin more responsive to UVA exposure.

Before making a diagnosis, your doctor will likely give you a physical exam and ask about your diet, your hair care routine, and your medical and family history. You might also have tests, such as the following:

• Blood test. This might help uncover medical conditions that can cause hair loss.
• Pull test. Your doctor gently pulls several dozen hairs to see how many come out. This helps determine the stage of the shedding process.
• Scalp biopsy. Your doctor scrapes samples from the skin or from a few hairs plucked from the scalp to examine the hair roots under a microscope. This can help determine whether an infection is causing hair loss.
• Light microscopy. Your doctor uses a special instrument to examine hairs trimmed at their bases. Microscopy helps uncover possible disorders of the hair shaft. Click Here
  

 

Treatment

Effective treatments for some types of hair loss are available. You might be able to reverse hair loss, or at least slow it. With some conditions, such as patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), hair may regrow without treatment within a year. Treatments for hair loss include medications and surgery.

Medication

If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. If a certain medication is causing the hair loss, your doctor may advise you to stop using it for a few months. Read More

Medications are available to treat pattern (hereditary) baldness. The most common options include:

• Minoxidil (Rogaine). Over-the-counter (nonprescription) minoxidil comes in liquid, foam and shampoo forms. To be most effective, apply the product to the scalp skin once daily for women and twice daily for men. Many people prefer the foam applied when the hair is wet.

  Products with minoxidil help many people regrow their hair or slow the rate of hair loss or both. It'll take at least six months of treatment to prevent further hair loss and to start hair regrowth. It may take a few more months to tell whether the treatment is working for you. If it is helping, you'll need to continue using the medicine indefinitely to retain the benefits.

  Possible side effects include scalp irritation and unwanted hair growth on the adjacent skin of the face and hands. View More
  

• Finasteride (Propecia). This is a prescription drug for men. You take it daily as a pill. Many men taking finasteride experience a slowing of hair loss, and some may show new hair growth. It may take a few months to tell whether it's working for you. You'll need to keep taking it to retain any benefits. Finasteride may not work as well for men over 60.

  Rare side effects of finasteride include diminished sex drive and sexual function and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Women who are or may be pregnant need to avoid touching crushed or broken tablets. More Details
  

• Other medications. Other oral options include spironolactone (Carospir, Aldactone) and oral dutasteride (Avodart).

Scar Reduction Treatment in Kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

 Scar Reduction Treatment in Kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

• Scars occur when tissues have been significantly damaged and repaired.
• Scars result in changes that alter the physical architecture of normal skin or other tissue.
• Scars can occur after physical trauma or as part of a disease process.
• Poorly controlled wound healing can result in thick, unsightly scars that cause symptoms.
• There is a genetic predisposition in some people to produce thicker, itchy, enlarging scars called keloids.
• Scarring in areas of increased skin tension or movement tend to be unsightly.

 Scarring is the process by which wounds are repaired. Damage to the deeper layer of the skin, the dermis, is required to produce a scar. Damage to only the epidermis, the most superficial layer of skin, will not always produce a scar. Scars produce a structural change in the deeper layers of the skin which is perceived as an alteration in the architecture of the normal surface features. It is not just a change in skin color. Fetal tissues and mucosal tissues have the ability to heal without producing a scar. Understanding how and why this is possible could lead to better surgical scar outcomes.  Read More

There is only one type of scar. The appearance of a scar depends on the nature of the wound that produced the damage, the anatomical location of the wound, and a variety of genetic factors that are different for each individual.

A defective healing process can result in a keloid, an unsightly, itchy, thick, red, knobby bump that often continues to enlarge over time. Keloids often are larger than the margins of the original wound.

 

Scars are almost always diagnosed by visual inspection. There are a number of rare situations when it may be necessary to examine scar tissue under the microscope to confirm its true identity. This would require a biopsy of the skin and may require the injection of a local anesthetic. Sometimes other skin conditions can form in a scar and require a biopsy in order to be diagnosed. Know More

Since scars are part of the normal healing process, ordinary scars are not treated. Only when superficial scars become cosmetically undesirable do they require treatment. This would include scars in those who are predisposed to develop keloids, as well as scars in anatomical regions known to produce thick scars and scars that produce a significant, unpleasant distortion of adjacent anatomical structures. Thick scars and keloids often flatten out after injections of steroids directly into the fibrous scar tissue. They can respond to the chronic application of pressure and the application of sheets of silicone rubber. Thick scars can be flattened by dermabrasion, which utilizes abrasive devices to sand down elevated scars. Certain types of depressed scars can be elevated by the injection of a cosmetic skin filler. Certain types of facial scarring respond well to forms of laser treatments. Occasionally, surgical revision of scars can result in a different scar that is much more cosmetically desirable. Since it takes about a year for scars to mature, it is frequently prudent to wait before starting any invasive surgical revisions. Click Here

Laser Tattoo Removal treatment in Kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

 Laser Tattoo Removal treatment in Kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

Laser tattoo removal is quickly becoming a popular aesthetic procedure for patients across all demographics. Tattoo regret is a common experience for many Americans, and laser removal is the only solution for removing ink without permanent side effects or scarring.

Laser tattoo removal works by sending light energy into the skin, heating up the tattoo ink particles, and shattering them. Then, over the following weeks, the body’s lymphatic system gradually flushes the fragmented tattoo ink particles away from the site of the tattoo. As more of the fragments are flushed away, the visibility of the tattoo fades until it can no longer be seen.

Many patients think that tattoo removal involves a “burning off” of the tattoo. This simply isn’t the case. Laser tattoo removal simply speeds up the natural fading process that happens to tattoos over time. For example, an old tattoo that has faded over time looks much like a recent tattoo that has undergone one laser treatment. Read More 

 Picosecond laser is the world's most advanced technology for tattoo removal. Picosecond laser erases unwanted ink more effectively than ever before, successfully removing difficult ink colors as well as previously treated tattoos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most patients require 5 to 10 laser treatments, spaced at least 6 weeks apart, to see the desired end result. Many patients are happy to undergo the process and return for multiple treatments, as the patient will notice fading progress after each treatment.

There is a very clear reason why multiple treatments are needed. When a tattoo is applied, the tattooing needle inserts at varying depths within the skin tissue. As a result, tattoo ink rests in multiple layers within the skin (inside the dermis). Each laser treatment shatters the most shallow layer of ink. Each progressive laser treatment shatters successively deeper layers of ink until none remain. View More

The waiting period between treatments is important, too. The first two weeks allows the body to heal in the treated area – any temporary scabs or blisters subside during this time. The following weeks allows the body’s lymphatic system to flush away the ink, which takes a time to occur. As a general rule, the longer the patient waits between treatments, the better fading they will yield from each treatment.

Performing laser tattoo removal takes no prior skill with other lasers to learn. Most tattoo removal lasers are very simple to operate and offer useful features (such as an aiming beam) to help the practitioner with the procedure. Most NLLC training clients quickly feel comfortable and confident using the laser system. Click Here

At a tattoo removal appointment, there are many concepts that the practitioner should discuss with the patient. The consultation is a critical part of the tattoo removal process – this is where you establish expectations, explain the process, and discover if the patient has any contraindications for treatment.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment in Kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

 Laser Hair Removal Treatment in Kumbakonam - Nkskin Hair Laser Center

If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair.

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, chin, back, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.

Benefits of laser hair removal include:

Precision. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

Speed. Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour. read more

Predictability. Most patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions.

Laser hair removal is more than just ''zapping'' unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks. Before getting laser hair removal, you should thoroughly check the credentials of the doctor or technician performing the procedure.

If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before treatment. That's because the laser targets the hairs' roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.

You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and makes complications after treatment more likely. View Here

Just before the procedure, your hair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. Usually topical numbing medicine is applied 20- 30 minutes before the laser procedure, to help with the sting of the laser pulses.The laser equipment will be adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated as well as your skin color.

Depending on the laser or light source used, you and the technician will need to wear appropriate eye protection. It will also be necessary to protect the outer layers of your skin with a cold gel or special cooling device. This will help the laser light penetrate the skin.

Next, the technician will give a pulse of light to the treatment area and watch the area for several minutes to make sure the best settings were used and to check for bad reactions.

When the procedure is completed, you may be given ice packs, anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, or cold water to ease any discomfort. You may schedule your next treatment four to six weeks later. You'll get treatments until hair stops growing. Know More
