We all fantasize good glowing skin of radiant complexion and humankind’s obsession with that has led to faster and effective revolution in cosmetology and dermatology. But with it has risen various skincare advice that just doesn’t work, and some skincare myths can even cause harm.
Getting behind the truth of some of the most popular ones, we spoke to the city’s most trusted dermatologist, Dr. Anshul Jain, MBBS, MD and Director, Pearl Skin Hair & Laser Centre. With her prolific experience, she is associated with US based GAIN Academy where she trains upcoming Dermatologist and Cosmetologists, nationally.
Myth: Skin treatments take longer to show effect and it fades soon.
Fact: We all have been guilty of believing this one, but Dr. Anshul revealed Some results are visible almost immediately following the procedure, but it can take 3 – 8 weeks to see the full effects of certain procedures. This is because it takes time for skin to respond and lead new collagen production. Patients get natural-looking results that can last for years with proper skin care. Infact you can keep the results long-term by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Myth: Fillers are for aging skin only.
Fact : That isn’t true, Dr. Anshul remarked. “There are effective cosmetic treatments for individuals of any age who want to look younger. The aging process is inevitable for everyone, and injectable fillers are ideal for adults of any age who want a fresher, rejuvenated appearance. Choosing the right plan of action and the right dermatologist, can provide the natural-looking, fantastic results you desire at any age.
Myth: Natural, botanical skincare products are better for your skin.
Fact: “One of the biggest myths I encounter in dermatology and medicine in general is that natural and organic products are safer. But at the same time, natural-based skincare products are often unregulated and tend to contain botanicals and essential oils that can lead to significant allergic contact dermatitis in some people, informed Dr Jain. Know your source, trust brands which are endorsed and certified by professionals.
Myth: Threads are invasive, time taking and extremely painful.
Fact: Thread lifting is a non-surgical procedure, which means not only does it produce incredible results but also is super quick, say a 60-minute lunch break and has relatively much less downtime of surgery. These threads are surgical sutures, derived from renewable resources like corn starch and sugar cane that are re-absorbable and biocompatible which means your body will eventually break down the sugar over time. And these miracle strands would leave your skin more uplifted, youthful and alive.
