Acne & Pigmentation
How long does acne treatment take to work?
Most patients see clear improvement within 4-6 weeks of starting a structured plan. Stubborn acne or scarring may need 3-6 months of treatment.
Can pigmentation be permanently removed?
Most pigmentation can be dramatically reduced with the right combination of medical peels, lasers and topical actives — but maintenance therapy and strict sun protection are essential to prevent recurrence.
What's the best treatment for melasma in Indian skin?
A combined approach using medical-grade tranexamic acid, gentle peels, and pigment-safe lasers like our Tri-Beam works best for Indian skin. We avoid aggressive lasers that can worsen pigmentation.
Are post-acne marks treatable?
Yes — post-acne pigmentation responds well to chemical peels, topical brightening agents and Q-switched laser. Box scars and ice-pick scars need microneedling, subcision or laser resurfacing.
Laser Treatments
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Diode laser hair removal gives permanent reduction — typically 80-95% reduction after 6-8 sessions. A maintenance session every 12-18 months keeps results long-term.
Is laser hair removal safe for Indian skin?
Yes — we use a USFDA-approved Diode laser specifically calibrated for melanin-rich Indian skin, so there's no risk of pigmentation or burns when done correctly.
How many sessions of laser hair removal do I need?
6-8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart for face and 6-8 weeks apart for body, give optimal permanent reduction.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Modern Diode lasers have an inbuilt cooling tip — most patients describe it as a warm rubber-band snap, not painful. Numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas.
Botox, Fillers & Anti-Aging
How much does Botox cost in Chandigarh?
Botox starts from ₹250 per unit at our clinic. Forehead/glabella treatment typically uses 25-40 units. We use only USFDA-approved brands like Allergan / Galderma.
Will Botox make my face look frozen?
No — when administered correctly by Dr. Brar, Botox gives natural, expressive results. We aim for refreshed, not frozen.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Quality hyaluronic acid fillers last 9-18 months depending on area, brand and metabolism. Lip fillers usually last 6-12 months.
Are fillers reversible?
Yes — hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved within 24 hours using hyaluronidase if you're not happy with the result.
When should I start anti-aging treatments?
Prevention starts in the late 20s with skin boosters and good skincare. Botox is typically started in early 30s. Fillers as needed based on bone changes — there is no fixed age.
Hair Treatments
Do PRP and GFC actually work for hair fall?
Yes — PRP and GFC have peer-reviewed evidence for reducing hair fall and improving density. Best results are seen with 4-6 sessions, monthly, combined with medical management.
Am I a candidate for hair transplant?
Hair transplant is suitable for patients with stable hair loss (typically over 25 years), good donor density, and realistic expectations. A trichoscopy + consultation will confirm.
Will my transplanted hair look natural?
When done with FUE technique by trained experts (using single follicular units along your natural hairline), results are completely undetectable.
Procedures, Safety & Recovery
Are your devices FDA approved?
Yes — we exclusively use USFDA / CDSCO-approved devices including Tri-Beam Q-switched laser, Diode laser hair removal, Morpheus8, HIFU, Dermapen 4 and HydraFacial.
Are treatments safe during pregnancy?
Most aesthetic treatments (Botox, fillers, lasers, peels) are NOT recommended during pregnancy. Gentle facials, basic skincare and certain medical treatments are safe — always disclose pregnancy to Dr. Brar.
How much downtime do treatments need?
Most facials, lasers and injectables have zero downtime. Microneedling and stronger peels may have 2-3 days of mild redness/flaking. Only hair transplant needs 5-7 days off social life.
Are needles single-use?
Absolutely. All needles, cannulas, syringes, microneedling cartridges and consumables are single-use, sterile and disposed of per BMW guidelines.
