When Should You Start Anti-Ageing Treatments? A Guide by Decade By Dr. Disha Jaggi

 

Ageing is a natural part of life, and you cannot stop the ageing process. However, with the science of aesthetics today, there are plenty of alternative options available to slow down the ageing process and keep your skin healthy and youthful for a lot longer. Anti-ageing skincare is most effective when you start doing it at the right age, and that varies by age, skin type, and lifestyle choices.
Here is a guide to the decades of when and how to begin: 

---

In Your 20s: Prevention is Key

• What's your focus: Protecting your skin and healthy habits.

• Why start now: Your collagen is at its best, but sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle are causing premature ageing.

• Recommended Treatments:

  • Daily sunscreen use (SPF 30 or higher)

  • Hydrating facials

  • Light chemical peels to brighten the skin

  • Gentle laser therapies to protect against pigmentation

• Tip: Start using an antioxidant serum rich in Vitamin C & E for protection.

---

In Your 30s: Early Intervention

• What's your focus: Collagen boosting and treating first fine lines.

• Why start now: The production of your collagen is slowing, and you may be noticing some expression lines.

• Recommended Treatments:

  • Microneedling to stimulate collagen

  • Botox for dynamic wrinkles (forehead, crow’s feet)

  • Skin tightening treatments using radio frequency or ultrasound to treat laxity

  • MediFacials are offered regularly for hydration and dewy skin

  • Tip: Introduce retinol products at night to promote cell renewal.

---

In Your 40s: Restoring Firmness

• What's your focus: Lifting, tightening, and deep hydration.

• Why start now: Skin loses elasticity, and deeper wrinkles begin to appear.

• Recommended Treatments:

  • Dermal fillers for volume loss in cheeks & under eyes

  • Thread lifts for the definition in the jawline

  • Advanced laser resurfacing to improve skin texture

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for skin rejuvenation

• Tip: Stay committed to your professional treatment every 3–6 months.

---

In Your 50s and Beyond: Maintenance & Repair

• What's your focus: Skin health & graceful ageing.

• Why start now: Thinning skin, sagging, and pigmentation become increasingly present.

• Recommended Treatments:

  • Combination therapies (Fillers + Botox + Laser) to create overall rejuvenation

  • Non-surgical facelifts for tightening

  • Deep hydration treatments containing hyaluronic acid infusion

  • Pigmentation removal treatments

• Tip: Continue to have regular skin check-ups with your dermatologist for your skin health.

Final Word by Dr. Disha Jaggi

Starting anti-ageing treatments does not mean you are "old"; it means you are proactively taking care of your skin and its future. The earlier you start preventative measures, the better your skin will look and feel in the future.

Skin is an investment, so treat it appropriately throughout life

Dandruff is a very common scalp condition that can be bothersome and sometimes embarrassing. It can mostly arise from dry skin, infection from something such as fungus, or from scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis. While shampoos, home remedies, and treatments may occasionally have an impact, medicated aesthetic care will provide long-lasting results..

🔍 Causes of Dandruff:

• Overgrowth of Malassezia (a scalp fungus)

• Dry or oily scalp

• Poor scalp hygiene

• Sensitivity to hair care products

• Weather changes or stress

What Is the Difference Between a MediFacial and a Regular Facial? By Dr. Disha Jaggi – Skin & Aesthetic Expert

In the world of skincare, facials are a go-to solution for refreshing and rejuvenating the skin. But with the advancement of technology and skin science, new techniques have been developed to treat the skin, one of which is the MediFacial. A facial provides you with the relaxing rejuvenation when you want to address the surface of your skin; however, a MediFacial goes deeper and focuses specifically on your skin's needs.

Let's break down the difference between a regular facial and a MediFacial: 

---

A regular facial can be received at either a salon or spa, which will typically include:

• Cleansing
• Exfoliation
• Steaming
• Extraction
• Massage
• A simple face pack

Purpose: Primarily relaxation and some standard skin revitalisation.

Best For: Rarely pampering, minimal dullness, and 'normal' skin types.

Limitations:

• Simply short-term benefits

• Doesn't address deep skin issues like pigmentation, acne scarring, and age markers

• Often involves generic products that may not be right for all skin types

---

🧬 What is a MediFacial?

A MediFacial (Medical Facial) is a tailored treatment that is supervised by a doctor or licensed doctor, using higher-grade, clinically tested ingredients, and advanced technology (i.e.:

• Chemical peels

• Hydrafacial

• Microdermabrasion

• LED treatment

• Oxygen infusion

MediFacial Intended Purpose: To target specific skin concerns, such as:

• Acne with and without scarring

• Hyperpigmentation

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Dehydration or dullness

• Uneven pigment and texture

MediFacial Indications (Who should/shouldn't get it):

Appropriate for all skin types, but particularly for someone with active skin conditions or specific skin concerns.

MediFacial Benefits:

• Safe, even with sensitive skin

Laser Hair Removal: Cost, Sessions, and Side Effects With Dr. Disha Jaggi – Skin & Aesthetic Specialist

 

Unwanted hair can be a nuisance in life, and although techniques like waxing, shaving, or threading can minimise the issue, laser hair removal provides a more permanent solution. Here, Dr. Disha Jaggi, an experienced skin and aesthetics professional, will break down some information you need to understand before undergoing the procedure of laser hair removal.

---

✅ What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light (laser) to identify and damage hair follicles in order to reduce or remove hair growth in the area treated.

---

💰 Cost of Laser Hair Removal in India

Cost can vary with the body implementation, how many sessions will be required, and the location of the clinic.

Area Treated	Cost Per Session (Approx.)

---

Understanding Dark Circles – Causes and Treatments That Work By Dr. Disha Jaggi

Dark circles are the most common skin concern that I see in my clinic. Anyone can experience dark circles, including college students, parents of babies, new workers, etc, regardless of their age or gender.

The good news is, the majority of dark circles are easily treatable depending on the proper diagnosis and treatment.

In this article, we will discuss dark circles and the best treatment options to reduce dark circles. 

---

🧠 What Are Dark Circles?

Dark circles describe the skin, which has a darker pigmentation observed under the eyes, creating a tired and/or older appearance. Dark circles can have brown, blue, or purple undertones, depending on the individual and their skin tone. 

---

🧐 What Causes Dark Circles?

✅ 1. Lack of Sleep & Fatigue

• Poor sleep reduces blood flow and oxygen, making skin under the eyes less vascularized or duller in color, for the eyes creating the eye area darker.

✅ 2. Genetics

• If dark circles run in your family, there is a higher chance you will have them as well, especially if you had thin skin under your eyes!

✅ 3. Allergies & Rubbing Eyes

• Rubbing of the eyes from itching or other allergic reactions creates darker pigmentation of skin under the eyes.

✅ 4. Hyperpigmentation

• When the skin around the eyes starts to produce additional melanin or pigment, typically, darker skin tones have this extra brown pigmentation.

✅ 5. Aging

• As we get older, skin becomes thinner, and fat under the eyes decreases, which allows our blood vessels to be more visible.

✅ 6. Dehydration & Poor Diet

• Inadequate hydration or vitamins (especially B12, iron, K) can also cause our under-eye shade to darken.

---

💆‍♀️ Effective Treatments for Dark Circles

As a dermatology professional, I encourage a tailored approach depending on the reason and severity of the dark circles.

🌿 1. Lifestyle Changes

• Get 7–8 hours of sleep

• Drink enough water

• Eat iron-rich and vitamin-rich foods

🧊 2. Home Remedies (For Mild Cases)

• - Use a cold compress to reduce swelling

• Slice and place cucumbers or cool green tea bags over the eyes to refresh the area

• Use almond oil or creams containing caffeine to treat the under-eye area

💉 3. Medical Treatments (Clinic-Based)

🔹 Topical Creams

• Prescribed creams that contain retinol, vitamin K, kojic acid, or caffeine tend will fade pigmentation in the long term. 

🔹 Chemical Peels

• Light peels using lactic acid or glycolic acid may help fade pigmentation around the eyes.

🔹 Under-Eye Fillers

• If dark circles are due to volume loss or hollowness, dermal fillers can restore a youthful, smooth look instantly.

🔹 Laser Therapy

• It is safe to use laser therapy under the eyes. Lasers can help with melanin build-up (pigmentation) or blood vessel build-up and improving tone and texture of skin.

---

👩‍⚕️ Why Visit a Dermatologist?

Not all dark circles are created equal; some are due to pigmentation, some with hollowing, and some lifestyle or health issues.

In my clinic, we begin the process with an in-depth analysis to determine the cause of the dark circles prior to discussing treatment options.

Top Skin Care Tips for Humid Weather By Dr. Disha Jaggi – Skin & Hair Specialist Lucknow

 

Humidity can cause your skin to feel sticky, greasy and uncomfortable. Whether it is breakouts, dullness, or sweat, the key to glowy skin during hot, sticky weather is to switch up your skin care routine. As a skin expert in Lucknow, I have seen firsthand the impact that humid weather and the monsoon season can have on all skin types, but mainly on oily or combination skin. 

Let's take a look at my top recommended tips to keep your skin healthy and fresh in humid weather.

---

🌬️ 1. Cleanse Twice a Day

High levels of humidity and sweating increase the damage from dirt and oil on your face.
👉 Use a gentle foaming facial cleanser to wash away the oil without stripping your skin of moisture.
✅ If you have acne or are prone, use a product with salicylic acid or tea tree oil.

---

💧 2. Keep Skin Hydrated (Yes, Even in Humidity!)

Humidity can sometimes play a trick on us into thinking our skin does not need hydration, but your skin still needs hydration in humid weather. 
👉 Use a light-weight water-based or gel-based moisturiser.
✅ Avoid heavy/thick creams as they could clog your pores.

---

🌿 3. Use an Alcohol-Free Toner

Use toner to help control oil and tighten your pores.
👉 Choose a toner with natural ingredients such as witch hazel, rose water, or green tea extract. 
✅ Toners help the skin reset after washing and help balance pH.

---

🧴 4. Never Skip Sunscreen

Even when it’s cloudy or rainy outside, UV rays can damage your skin.
👉 Use a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher, ideally a matte, non-comedogenic formula.
✅ Reapply every 3–4 hours if you’re outside.

---

🧼 5. Exfoliate Gently, But Not Daily

During humid months, dead skin cells and sweat can clog your pores.
👉 Exfoliate 2 times/week with a gentle scrub or an enzyme-based exfoliant.
✅ Be careful not to over-exfoliate, which can also lead to irritation.

---

💆 6. Don’t Touch Your Face Frequently

Your hands carry bacteria. Touching your face in humid weather can cause you to break out or get a skin infection.
👉 Bring tissues or oil blotting papers to pat or blot away sweat or oil.

---

🧽 7. Use Minimal Makeup

Heavy makeup + sweat = clogged pores.
👉 Use non-comedogenic or mineral-based make-up products.
✅ Tinted moisturizers or BB creams are better than full coverage foundations in humid weather.

---

🧊 8. Cool Down With Ice Cubes or Face Mists

I recommend rubbing an ice cube (in a cloth) or spritzing with a cooling facial mist to cool the skin or reduce puffiness.

---

📋 Bonus Tips From Dr. Disha Jaggi

• Change your pillow cases and face towels often

• Stay hydrated and eat fruits with high water content (like watermelon, cucumber)

• Don’t ignore signs like: itchiness, heat rash, or fungal infection, these are common in humid weather

• Consult a dermatologist if breakouts or rashes persist

What Causes Acne and How to Treat It Naturally – By Dr. Disha Jaggi- Skin Specialist in Lucknow

A clear complexion begins with understanding your skin.

---

Each person has their own skin issue, but acne is the most common skin concern for both teenagers and adults. Acne can appear to be just a surface issue, but its development has to do with what really happens inside you and your lifestyle.  I'm Dr. Disha Jaggi, a skin specialist in Lucknow, and I will help you to know the cause of acne and how you can treat it naturally, without chemicals to alter your skin or put you at risk. 

---

🌟 What Causes Acne?

Acne happens when your skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands) are overactive and clogged with dirt and dead skin. But what starts it up?

1. Hormonal Imbalance

• This occurs in puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or PCOS..

• Androgens are the hormones that ramp up oil output, which clogs pores.

2. Unhealthy Diet

• Eating many high-glycemic foods (basically sugary and fried foods) causes insulin spikes that help in developing worse acne. 

• Dairy and often even processed food are known to trigger acne for many people.

3. Stress

• Stress hormones such as cortisol can increase oil output. 

• May cause bad acne to worsen and unrecovered acne to heal more slowly! 

4. Improper Skincare Routine

• Using rough or comedogenic products (anything that clogs pores). 

• Not cleansing properly or washing your face too often. 

5. Genetics

• If your parents suffered from acne, there is a higher chance you will as well. 

6. Environmental Pollution

• Dirt, dust, and bacteria are all on your skin, which will clog pores.

🌿 How to Treat Acne Naturally – Dr. Disha’s Expert Tips

You don't always require strong medications for acne management. Here are natural and gentle remedies that I often provide to my patients: 

✅ 1. Keep Your Face Clean

• Clean your face 2x a day with a mild sulfate free cleanser. 

• Don't scrub too hard, this will only add to irritation. 

✅ 2. Use Aloe Vera Gel

• Use fresh aloe vera gel to reduce inflammation and redness. 

• It also contains antibacterial properties. 

✅ 3. Apply Tea Tree Oil (with Caution)

• Take 1 drop of tea tree oil and mix it with a carrier oil (coconut oil or jojoba). 

• Only apply to spots to reduce bacteria and swelling.

✅ 4. Eat Skin-Friendly Foods

• Eat leafy greens, fruit with antioxidants, and foods with omega-3 ( e.g. flaxseeds, walnuts). 

• Avoid sugary foods, dairy or fried foods.

✅ 5. Stay Hydrated

• Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day to help flush out toxins. 

✅ 6. Practice Stress-Relieving Activities

• Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing.

✅ 7. Use Clay Masks Weekly

• Clays such as Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) or bentonite clay help absorb excess oil and tighten your pores.

---

⚠️ When to See a Skin Specialist

Natural remedies will work for mild and moderate acne. If you are experiencing any of the following issues, then it is a good idea to consult your physician.

• Persistent cystic acne

• Painful nodules

• Scarring

• Sudden acne after a long, clear phase

It’s important to consult a dermatologist.
