Laser tattoo removal is an innovative technique that allows permanent tattoos to be removed from the skin. For the success of the treatment, it is advisable to contact centers that have the latest alexandrite laser or neodymium-YAG laser technology, and know what level of power to use to eliminate the colors that make it up. The laser technique allows the removal of the tattoo because it fragments the pigments that will later be eliminated by the macrophages, the blood cells that metabolize these particles.

Why is it done?

Permanent tattoos can become deformed with the aging of the skin, lose their initial appearance or simply stop being liked by those who wear them, so they look for a way to erase them from their skin without leaving a trace. Today, those who regret a tattoo can go back to the tattoo artist to have it changed or go to a specialized dermatologist or aesthetic doctor for complete removal using laser technology.

What does it consist of?

Tattoo removal is performed using laser photoacoustic technology, which breaks up the ink pigments on the skin into powder. Over time, the body metabolizes these particles and removes them through the lymphatic system.

Normally this removal takes about 8 weeks, although it is a very variable time depending on the type of tattoo, its size, colors used and the area in which it is located.

Preparation for laser tattoo removal

When you decide to remove a tattoo that you are no longer satisfied with, you need to consider a few factors that can affect the outcome of the treatment. First of all, it is necessary to evaluate the size of the tattoo, the depth of the pigment and the colors that make it up: blue and black are the easiest colors to remove, while white and yellow are almost impossible to remove.

The date of completion is another influential factor: the older the tattoo, the easier it will be to remove it, since it has been partially attacked by macrophages. Also, if the patient undergoing treatment has olive or black skin, there is a risk of altering the natural pigmentation of the skin, making removal problematic. Finally, the time of year in which you choose to erase your “mark” should also be evaluated. Winter is the most suitable period to remove a tattoo since, in the months after treatment, you cannot expose the treated skin to sunlight.

In addition, sunbathing or UVA sessions should be avoided up to 10 days before the session.

Care after the intervention

After each session, an antibiotic cream and a patch are applied to the treated area, so that the patient can go about their daily lives safely. Thus, the patient can return to their normal activity after the session and should avoid sun exposure in the treated area during the months after the laser treatment.

It is also advisable to treat the skin after the sessions: it will turn red and the patient may feel itching or pain in the area. It can be applied cold to reduce discomfort and swelling in the area, as well as a specific ointment and skin regenerating cream will be recommended. You should also avoid rough sponges and towels during the shower and wash the area with a neutral soap.

Alternatives to this treatment

Currently, laser technology is the most advanced and used treatment for tattoo removal, due to its optimal results with minimal invasion.

What is vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition in which white patches appear. It originates when there is a lack of melanin (pigment that gives color to the skin).

Vitiligo usually appears in the following areas of the body:

• Expensive
• Neck
• Hands
• Mouth (outside and inside)
• Eyes
• Fingers
• dolls
• armpits
• Groin
• Genitals

However, this condition can arise in any area of ​​the skin.

​What are the causes of vitiligo?

Vitiligo is caused by a lack of melanin in the skin. Melanin is produced in skin cells known as melanocytes, and they are what give skin its color.

Vitiligo arises because there are not enough melanocytes producing melanin in the skin. This generates the appearance of white spots on the skin or hair. There is no consensus on why the melanocytes disappear and cause vitiligo.

Some factors that can influence or trigger the appearance of vitiligo are:

• Failures in the immune system (autoimmune disease)
• Family history of vitiligo or autoimmune diseases
• Stress
• Skin damage (burns or cuts)
• Contact with certain chemicals

​Is vitiligo contagious?

No, vitiligo is an internal alteration in the functioning of skin cells. It is not caused by a virus and therefore is not contagious.

​Can vitiligo be prevented?

There is no way to know the exact cause of why vitiligo originates and therefore there are no methods to prevent its appearance.

Types of vitiligo

There are different types of vitiligo according to their characteristics:

• Generalized: appears in various places on the body.
• Segmented: appears on one side of the body or in a specific area.
• Mucosal: affects the mucous membranes of the mouth and/or genitals.
• Focal: it is located in a small area.
• Trichome – has a white or colorless center, an area of ​​light pigmentation, and an area of ​​normal colored skin.
• Universal: More than 80% of the skin on the body has no pigment.

​Treatment for vitiligo

An evaluation consultation is necessary to determine the appropriate vitiligo treatment for your particular case. The consultation consists of a professional diagnosis by a dermatologist, and medical treatment, medication and home care are recommended.

Dr Pradeep Bansal is the one who personally administers Botox injections in Zaragoza to her patients. Although the Botox treatment is a 15-minute treatment and seems simple compared to any cosmetic surgery such as rhinoplasty, the Botox injection must be applied in a correct, effective and above all safe way, and this requires training and experience.

Despite the fact that Botox is a minimally invasive treatment, the Bansal’s clinic considers that the patient should receive totally personalized attention and care as in any other cosmetic surgery. It must be taken into account that the face has 43 individual muscles, and it will be of vital importance for the treatment and for optimal and longer-lasting results that the person in charge of administering the treatment in our clinic in Shalimar Bagh knows which is the most appropriate.

BOTOX WHAT DRIVES US?

Most women who apply Botox try to alleviate the signs of aging and wrinkles.

• Periorbital wrinkles or Crow’s feet.
• Frown lines or glabellar wrinkles.
• Front wrinkles.
• Wrinkles lip and mouth corners.
• Vertical neck bands.

What should we know about Botox?

Botulism is the disease caused by the toxin generated by a bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum, which does not need oxygen to proliferate and develops in certain foods stored in cans in poor conditions.

Botox is not an active poison, it is a protein that weakens and inactivates the muscles and that contains this toxin in its composition. Therefore, what we achieve with Botox is similar to muscle paralysis, but in a controlled manner.

Botox® for cosmetic applications is used in small amounts (30-70 U.), which gives it a high safety margin if we consider that to achieve toxic effects, more than 2,000 units would have to be injected at one time. After the muscle has been injected, its effect is not noticeable until 15 days have passed. Keep in mind that about 60 units are needed for a facial wrinkle treatment, very low levels compared to those that can actually cause intoxication.

The effects of Botox® only affect the muscle, and it does not affect the central nervous system or any other part of the body in any way, even if it is accidentally injected into a nerve or blood vessel.

The safety of Botox is complete, because in addition the mobility of the muscle is completely recovered over time, it does not have side effects in this sense.

Patients with a history of neuromuscular disease (multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis) or other diseases related to nerve transmission cannot be treated with Botox.

At Bansal Skin & Smile Clinic, we remove all type of wart & skin tag.
Warts are considered unsightly in virtually all cultures. Misconceptions about warts abound, but the facts concerning warts are relatively simple.

• Warts are caused by HPV or the Human Papilloma Virus.
• More than 70 types of the HP virus have been identified.
• 8-10 percent of the population have warts
• Women are more likely to have warts than men.
• Children are more likely to have warts than adults
• The most common are; common, plantar, flat, genital, cervical and laryngeal.
• Warts are contagious.
• There has been a dramatic rise in the incidents of genital warts
• Mothers can give their newborn children genital warts in the birth canal.
• Only humans have HPV. Animals carry other types of virus.
• The incubation period for the wart virus can be from 2 weeks to several months making it difficult to determine where it came from.
• The more warts a person has the more infectious they become,
• Warts can be successfully removed.
• Genital warts can be prevented.

Common warts are clusters of effected cells. Most are round and raise above the skins surface. Once a person has contacted warts, generally more are introduced to other sites on the body accidentally or unconsciously by scratching or abraising the wart then introducing it to another site on the body. This process is called ‘autoinoculation’. Common warts posses little potential for health problems unless they bleed, change color or shape. Most are removed for cosmetic purposes or because location on the body cause irritation due to rubbing on clothing, etc.

Plantar warts are confined to bottoms of the feet. They are generally flat due to being pushed upward into the foot by the body’s weight. They are frequently very painful. Plantar warts are very contagious due to the cells being sloughed off at a rate higher than any other wart and the virus remains stable in a favorable environment such as; a warm, wet gym shower floor. Many athletes contact plantar warts in a similar fashion as they contact athletes foot ( a fungal disorder) Plantar warts are often confused with bunions. Diabetic patients have a high incidence of plantar warts and athletes have the highest incidence.

Genital warts are confined to the genital area; vagina, anus, penis and scrotum. They are growths or bumps of the skin. They may be raised or flat, single or multiple, small or large, They might be clumped together forming a cauliflower-like shape. Occasionally they are virtually invisible to the naked eye. The HPV virus can also live on the surface of the skin without causing a wart. This is known as a ‘subclinical’ HPV infection.

HPV and genital warts are usually spread by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone with the virus. Warts on the hands, etc that contact pubic areas DO NOT spread the genital virus.

Warts appear from several weeks to several months after contact. The long incubation period makes it difficult to know when and from whom you get the virus.

It may be difficult to know that you have the warts if they are inside the vagina, on the cervix or in the anus. Rarely do they cause itching or bleeding. An abnormal pap smear might be the first warning that genital warts are present. It is prudent to see your health care provider if;

• You notice any unusual growths, bumps or changes to the skin in or around the genital area.
• You notice any unusual pain, itching or bleeding; or
• Your sex partner(s) tells you that he or she has genital warts

A small tag of skin that may have a stalk (a peduncle). Skin tags may appear on the skin almost anywhere although the favorite locales are the eyelids, neck, armpits (axillae), upper chest, and groin.

Women are more likely to have skin tags then men. Skin tags, generally appear during middle age.

Although newly born children occasionally will have skin tags. Excess weight is thought to be a factor in the development of skin tags Medically, a skin tag can be termed an acrochordon or a cutaneous papilloma. But it is far better known as a skin tag.
