Getting Under Your Skin

A significant increase in regenerative and preventive beauty treatments seem to be replacing Botox and fillers. It also comes at a cost

Zoya, a Kolkata-based banker, was troubled with fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Looking good in the corporate world is an important part of success. The 42-year-old tried Botox, dermal fillers, and chemical peels, but nothing helped. She then approached Keraderm Clinic, where a personalised skincare regimen was recommended. She opted for a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedure using her own blood. The plasma was injected into her targeted facial areas using a micro-needling device to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin renewal over three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. After six months her skin texture had improved by 25 per cent, the fine lines and wrinkles reduced by 30 per cent, skin tone enhanced by 20 per cent with significant skin tightening, fewer pores, and a radiant, glowing complexion.
