Customised skin treatments are the future of modern dermatology. Every individual has a different skin type, genetic makeup, lifestyle, and underlying medical concerns — which means one-size-fits-all skincare simply doesn’t work.

At Novocare International Hospital & Research Center, Sargodha, I design treatment plans that are scientifically tailored to each patient’s skin biology. With 14 years of experience, global training from the USA, UK, Europe, Singapore, and Japan, and a specialised focus on accurate diagnosis and targeted dermatology, I ensure every plan addresses the root cause—not just the surface symptoms.

Personalised treatments lead to:
• Better long-term results
• Reduced irritation and minimal downtime
• Safer, evidence-based outcomes
• Natural improvements in texture, pigmentation, ageing and skin health

Customised dermatology is not a trend — it is precision care.
When your treatment is tailored for your skin, results become healthier, clearer and more sustainable.

✅ TREATMENTS I NO LONGER RECOMMEND

Some procedures may have been popular once, but with evolving science and years of clinical experience, I’ve stepped away from these approaches:
1. Derma Rollers
The micro-injury is uncontrolled, the results inconsistent, and the risk of infection is unnecessary when safer, more predictable technologies exist.
2. Hard Fillers Around the Mouth
They often distort expression, migrate, or create heaviness around the perioral triangle. Softer, more anatomical options are far superior now.
3. Frozen Forehead Botox
Expressionless foreheads may have trended once, but natural movement with strategic dosing creates far more refined, age-harmonious results.

Treating Skin Discolouration & Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation always has a trigger — sun exposure, heat, hormonal changes, medication, inflammation or lifestyle factors. These triggers signal your skin to produce more pigment as a protective response, which can lead to persistent dark patches and melasma.

When the skin senses stress or danger, it sends a message to the melanocyte cells to “increase pigmentation,” creating a natural shield against further damage. This is why pigmentation becomes stubborn over time.

Once excess melanin is formed, completely reversing it is challenging. But with a targeted approach, we can:

• Control and minimise the triggers
• Prevent new pigmentation from forming
• Fade existing discolouration
• Boost cell turnover for a brighter, smoother, more even skin tone
• Strengthen the skin barrier for long-term clarity

So don’t lose hope, my sun-damaged, melasma-prone skin queens 🔥
There is light at the end of the tunnel — consistency and expert care make all the difference.

🔥 Laser Hair Removal – The Do’s and Don’ts for Best Results!

✨ Thinking about Laser Hair Removal? It’s one of the most effective ways to achieve long-term smooth, hair-free skin — but only when done the right way.

Here’s what you must know before booking your sessions 👇

✅ DO’s:
• Choose a qualified dermatologist or trained technician — experience matters to ensure safe, precise laser energy delivery.
• Schedule 8–10 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for long-term hair reduction.
• Manage underlying hormonal issues like PCOD/PCOS alongside your laser treatments to prevent regrowth.
• Always keep your skin well-hydrated and protected with SPF post-session.

🚫 DON’Ts:
• Don’t go for laser if your hair is very fine, light, or thin — it works best on dark, thick hair.
• Avoid treating unnecessary or sensitive areas to prevent paradoxical hair growth.
• Don’t skip patch testing or pre-treatment consultation.
• Avoid exfoliation, waxing, or sun exposure for a few days before and after treatment to protect your skin barrier.

⚡ Why it matters:
Incorrect technique or poor candidate selection can cause paradoxical hair growth, pigmentation, or barrier damage. Always trust your skin to experienced hands.

💫 Before the lehenga, before the makeup — let’s perfect the canvas.
Because real bridal glow isn’t a filter, it’s a journey of care, science, and consistency.

⸻

💎 1. Start Early – Glow Takes Time

Begin at least 3–6 months before your big day. Early intervention allows your skin to heal, renew, and truly glow.
Recommended: Monthly medical-grade chemical peels or laser toning for texture and pigment balance.

⸻

🌿 2. Choose Professional Treatments, Not Parlour Facials

Salon facials only give temporary shine; dermatologist-led treatments create transformation.
Recommended: HydraFacial, biorevitalising injections (like Profhilo), or Aptos thread tightening if needed.

⸻

💧 3. Stay Loyal to Your Routine

Avoid hopping between products. Consistency builds resilience and long-term clarity.
Recommended: Gentle cleanser, vitamin C serum, broad-spectrum SPF 50, and a night repair cream with peptides or retinol (as advised).

⸻

✨ 4. Nourish from Within

Glowing skin mirrors a nourished body and calm mind.
Recommended: Hydration 2.5–3 L daily, antioxidant foods (berries, nuts, chia, pumpkin seeds), and 7–8 hours of quality sleep.

⸻

🌸 5. Final Month – Maintain, Don’t Experiment

This is the time to preserve, not test.
Recommended: Mild hydrating peels, soothing masks, and strict sunscreen compliance. Avoid new products or invasive treatments now.

Why Your Fungal Infection Keeps Coming Back!

Fungal infections are more than just itching or redness. Many become treatment-resistant because of improper or incomplete treatment.

Over-the-counter creams may calm symptoms but don’t kill the fungus. Result? Chronic, recurring infection.

A successful cure needs a targeted, dermatologist-designed plan based on:
✅ Identifying the fungal type
✅ Skin barrier repair
✅ Correct oral and topical combination

At Novocare International Hospital, Sargodha, every case is managed with precision and evidence-based protocols for lasting results.

Stop self-medicating. Get expert care.

🧠 “It’s not just an itch… it’s Pediculosis!” 🕷️

Many people confuse an itchy scalp with dandruff — but head lice (Pediculosis) are a contagious scalp condition that spreads quickly through close contact, shared combs, hats, or pillows.

👩‍⚕️ How to identify it:
• Persistent itching, especially behind ears and at the nape of the neck
• Tiny white nits firmly attached to hair strands
• A crawling sensation or mild scalp irritation

💡 Effective treatment options:
• Use a 1% permethrin conditioner or lotion as first-line therapy — it’s clinically proven and dermatologist recommended.
• Combine this with olive oil wet combing to loosen and remove stubborn nits.
• Disinfect combs, bedding, and clothing in hot water to prevent reinfestation.

🚫 Avoid harsh home remedies like kerosene or vinegar — they can burn or irritate your scalp without solving the root cause.

✨ With the right care, you can easily restore a clean, healthy, and itch-free scalp. Early treatment prevents spread within families and schools.

✨ Laser hair reduction isn’t magic — it’s medical science at work. ✨

Still relying on waxing or shaving every few weeks?
Let’s clear the common doubts and talk facts 👇

⸻

🔬 3 Scientific Truths About Laser Hair Reduction

1️⃣ Targets the Root, Not the Surface
Laser energy focuses on the hair follicle’s melanin, disabling it from regrowth.
This process — called selective photothermolysis — is backed by decades of dermatologic research for safe, lasting results.

2️⃣ Improves Skin Health and Texture
Regular laser sessions don’t just reduce hair — they treat folliculitis, ingrown hairs, and post-waxing pigmentation.
Clinical studies prove skin becomes smoother, clearer, and more even-toned over time.

3️⃣ Safe for All Skin Types with Modern Devices
Advanced Diode and Nd:YAG lasers are now skin-tone smart, offering precision and built-in cooling to protect the surface.
Dermatologist-supervised sessions ensure safety, comfort, and consistent results.

⸻

✨ Why choose lasers over waxing?
Because you’re not just removing hair — you’re investing in healthy, confident skin.

Microneedling isn’t a one-time magic trick — it’s a collagen-building journey your skin deserves. 💉💫

Here’s why:
🌿 Collagen naturally declines every year after your 20s — leading to fine lines, enlarged pores, and loss of firmness.
⚡ Microneedling stimulates collagen + elastin by triggering your skin’s natural healing response.
🔁 With regular sessions, results compound over time — your skin gets smoother, tighter, and more luminous with every treatment.
💎 It’s science-backed, dermatologist-approved, and safe for almost all skin types.

Think of it as your long-term collagen investment plan — not a one-off fix.

🔥 Hair Growth Treatments Ranked: What Really Works (Based on Science!) 🔥

If you’re struggling with hair thinning, bald spots, or excessive hair fall, here’s the truth about the most popular hair growth treatments, ranked from least to most effective:

5️⃣ PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Uses your own blood growth factors to stimulate hair. Sounds amazing, right? But—multiple painful sessions + high cost = not for everyone. Results vary.

4️⃣ Hair Multivitamins: Overrated unless you’re truly deficient in iron, Vitamin D, zinc, or biotin. If your labs are normal, popping pills won’t regrow your hair.

3️⃣ Spironolactone: A game-changer for women with hormonal hair loss. Works as an anti-androgen, also clears up acne + reduces excess facial hair. Best for female patients.

2️⃣ Finasteride: A gold standard for Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness). Blocks DHT (the hormone behind thinning). Best when started early—saves the hair you have.

1️⃣ Oral Minoxidil: The current superstar of hair regrowth! Works wonders in both men and women when prescribed in the right dose. Consistent results, thicker hair, visible density.

✨ Bottom line: Don’t waste years on random oils, shampoos, or DIY hacks. Evidence-based treatments work—and the sooner you start, the better your results.
