Overview
What is Skin Glow Treatment and who is it for?
Healthy-looking skin reflects light evenly and feels smooth to the touch. When dead cells build up on the surface, when pigment becomes patchy or when the skin lacks water, it looks flat and tired. Pollution, sun exposure, stress, poor sleep and inconsistent skincare all contribute. In Bangalore, daily commuting through traffic and regular outdoor sun exposure often add to tanning and dullness over time.
A skin glow plan uses medical treatments rather than beauty-parlour facials. Superficial chemical peels remove dull surface cells and lighten tan. Medifacials combine deep cleansing, exfoliation and active serums. Skin boosters inject small amounts of hydrating agents into the skin to improve moisture and texture. Carbon laser toning may be suggested for oily skin with tan. The choice depends on your skin type and concern.
Most glow treatments need a short series to build up results, with maintenance sessions every few months. They work best when paired with daily sunscreen and a simple routine at home. If you are preparing for a wedding or event, it helps to start about 2 to 3 months ahead. Results vary, and Dr. Shilpa will plan your sessions after examining your skin.

Is it right for you?
Glow treatments suit most adults with dull, tanned or tired skin who want a fresher look. They are not a substitute for treating active acne, melasma or skin disease, which need their own plan. If you are pregnant, some treatments will be avoided. Tell Dr. Shilpa about any recent facials, waxing or skin reactions.
