Details on a few of the offshore dermatology- skin care procedures being facilitated by Life Smile health care is:

Skin resurfacing
Skin resurfacing includes varieties of major permanent and long-term plastic surgery, less invasive mid-range surgical procedures, and non-invasive temporary skin treatments. Common skin resurfacing techniques include chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing.

Skin resurfacing procedures may be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as diminishing the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth or eyes. They may also be used as a medical treatment, such as removing large numbers of certain precancerous lesions called actinic keratoses, sometimes combining techniques, using dermabrasion or laser resurfacing on some areas of the face, while performing a chemical peel on other areas.

Chemical peel: Chemical peels employ a variety of caustic chemicals to selectively destroy several layers of skin. The peeling solutions are "painted on," area-by-area, to ensure that the entire face is treated. After the skin heals, discoloration, wrinkles, and other surface irregularities are often eliminated.

Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion uses an abrasive tool to selectively remove layers of skin. Some skin specialist consultants use a hand-held motorized tool with a small wire brush or diamond-impregnated grinding wheel at the end. Some dermatologists prefer to abrade the skin by hand with an abrasive pad or other instrument. Dermabrasion does not require much preparation. It is usually performed under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.

Laser resurfacing: Laser resurfacing is the most recently developed technique for skin resurfacing. In laser skin resurfacing a laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of fine lines, especially around the mouth and the eyes. However, it is also effective in treating facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation. Laser resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in specific regions. Often, the procedure is done in conjunction with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. Laser resurfacing is performed under local anesthesia. An oral sedative may also be taken.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally sodium chloride) directly into the varicose vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view. The number of varicose veins injected in one session is variable, depending on the size and location of the veins, and the patient's overall medical condition. The same vein may need to be treated more than once.

Sclerotherapy is used to treat:
• Spider veins and small veins that are not causing more serious problems.
• Smaller varicose veins that come back after vein-stripping surgery.
• Larger varicose veins, when newer techniques are used.

Sclerotherapy costs less than varicose veins surgery, requires no hospital stay, and allows a quicker return to work and normal activities.

Laser treatment for Varicose veins and Spider veins:
Lasers have revolutionized the treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. A laser is a highly focused beam of light which can be used by a dermatologist – skin specialist or a cosmetic plastic surgeon to treat varicose veins and spider veins. Laser heat damages a vein, which makes scar tissue form. This scar tissue closes the vein. A closed vein loses its source of blood and dies. After a year or two, the vein is likely to disappear.

There are a variety of lasers and light sources being used to treat surface leg veins. These include, but are not limited to the long-pulse alexandrite, diode and long-pulse And Yag lasers as well as intense pulsed light devices. These light devices are generally used with cooling of the top skin layer with cool gel, chilled air or other cooling methods. Cooling helps to reduce discomfort and lowers the risk of injuring the skin and this type of laser treatment has become quite safe and effective.

Simple laser treatment: laser vein treatment has been limited to spider veins and tiny varicose veins just under the skin's surface. Usually, more than one laser session is needed.

Endovenous laser treatment: This newer technology is becoming more available for larger varicose veins in the legs. A laser fiber is passed through a thin tube (catheter) into the vein. While doing this, the doctor watches the vein on a duplex ultrasound screen. Laser is less painful than vein legation and stripping surgery, and it has a shorter recovery time. Studies show that endovenous laser closes veins up to 98% of the time, with less pain and shorter recovery time than vein legation and stripping surgery.

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION or HAIR RESTORATION:

Hair transplantation is the surgical removal of hair from a certain area of the scalp and its relocation to a bald or thinned area. Candidates for hair transplant surgery are those individuals with hair loss that have sufficient donor hair from the fringe of the scalp to transplant to the balding area. For hair transplantation the introduction of micro-grafts (one- to two-hair grafts) and mini-grafts (three- to four hair grafts) is a significant advancement in the field of surgical hair restoration leading to aesthetically superior surgeries. Apart from the treatment of male and female pattern baldness hair loss, hair transplant surgery using micro and mini grafts are now widely used in hair transplant repair procedures and reconstructive surgical hair restoration procedures. Because of their small size, the micro and mini-grafts have lower metabolic requirement than the plug grafts and have better survival rate than the follicular units, which can be damaged during dissection. Hair transplant surgery is always performed with the patient lying in supine position under the influence of a very mild sedation.

Hair transplant surgery procedure for hair restoration of the face- eyebrows, eyelids, mustache and sideburns is more difficult and different. Healing of the area is completed within 10 – 14 days but the hair growth on the recipient area is seen only after 3 to 4 months. A post procedure expert care by a trichologist, dermatologist or a cosmetic plastic surgeon may be required.
