Clinical Skin Care
That Transforms

Most patients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, hair colour, and skin type. Darker hair responds fastest because it contains more melanin to absorb the laser energy. Lighter hair and finer hair may require additional sessions. Maintenance sessions once or twice yearly are recommended for permanent reduction, as dormant follicles can occasionally become active again due to hormonal changes.

Botox (botulinum toxin type A) has a 30+ year safety record in both medical and aesthetic use. It has been used for conditions ranging from strabismus to hyperhidrosis and has one of the most well-studied safety profiles of any injectable agent. At BMH, it is administered exclusively by Dr. Pooja Baweja, a qualified aesthetic physician, using pharmaceutical-grade product at clinically validated doses. Results typically last 3–4 months, after which treatment can be repeated. With regular maintenance, the interval between treatments often extends.

Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) uses controlled cooling to trigger apoptosis — the natural, programmed death — of fat cells in the treated area. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding skin cells, which is the basis of this selectivity. Over 2–3 months, the body naturally eliminates those dead cells through its lymphatic system. Clinical studies consistently show an average of 20–25% fat reduction in the treated zone per session. It is not a weight-loss procedure but is an effective body contouring treatment for stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as lower abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, and double chin.

Medical aesthetic treatments use regulated, calibrated devices that penetrate specific skin layers to produce clinical results — laser, radiofrequency, medical-grade peels. These create measurable, structural changes in the skin: new collagen formation, permanent follicle reduction, targeted fat cell apoptosis. Salon treatments are surface-level and do not produce structural skin changes. Additionally, medical aesthetics requires a doctor's clinical assessment, as skin type, active conditions (rosacea, active acne, melasma), medications (like retinoids or photosensitisers), and contraindications must all be evaluated before any treatment is undertaken.

CO2 fractional laser resurfacing typically requires 5–7 days of healing, during which the skin will be red, and may have some peeling or crusting — similar in appearance to moderate sunburn. Keeping the skin moisturised and protected from sun is essential during this period. Most patients are socially presentable by day 7. Results continue to improve over 3–6 months as new collagen forms and the skin's structural matrix remodels. The full benefit of a CO2 fractional laser treatment is seen at approximately 6 months post-procedure.

The best treatment depends entirely on scar type. Depressed (atrophic) scars — including boxcar, rolling, and ice-pick scars — respond well to CO2 fractional laser, subcision, or PRP therapy, which stimulate new collagen to fill the depression. Superficial discolouration (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, PIH) responds well to chemical peels and IPL/Nd:YAG laser. Raised (hypertrophic or keloidal) scars require a different approach altogether. Dr. Pooja Baweja will assess your individual scar type and skin tone during consultation and recommend a personalised, multi-modality protocol for the best achievable outcome.
