What matters is building a new understanding: 1. Distinguish how pigment cells produce pigment under normal conditions versus abnormal conditions where oxygen tension increases 2. Pigment has at least 2 additional important functions beyond the old understanding that it merely protects the skin's nuclei from sunlight 3. Understand that increasing pigment cells differs from accelerated pigment production in abnormal conditions If all 3 are achieved, melasma can be treated with lasting results, post-laser PIH can be prevented, and Medlite/Revlite lasers can be used truly effectively in the cases that warrant them — and avoided in conditions where they should not be used.
Acne scarring is unwelcome for everyone — nobody wants a face as cratered as the moon. Acne scars come in many forms: raised or keloid scars, and pitted scars, which can be classified as sharp-edged or soft-edged, deep or shallow, wide or narrow, with or without accompanying redness or dark marks. Some people have several problems at once, so no single treatment is best for acne scarring — combining several methods is the most effective approach.

Moles are black or dark brown, present from birth or appearing later. Moles from childhood tend to grow with the body and may sprout hair. Most moles in Thai people are harmless — the rate of malignancy is very low, and when it occurs it is usually in new, odd-looking moles. Mole removal is popular not only for beauty but also for personal beliefs. If there is no concern about malignancy, an appropriate laser can remove a mole — though for the best cosmetic result without unsightly scarring, more than one gradual session may be needed. A device called the VivaScope can examine whether a mole is malignant; it requires expertise to use, and Nitanad Clinic is pleased to offer it.
When an allergic reaction occurs — whether from insufficient precaution or by accident — the safest fix is to rest your face: no makeup or cosmetics on the affected area until it heals on its own. Using cosmetics on irritated skin adds further irritation, and washing with cleansers makes things correspondingly worse. If you can rest the face and compress with clean water, skin cells recover quickly and it can clear within a day or two. If a day of rest doesn't clear it, see a dermatologist for treatment with oral antihistamines. We stress: oral antihistamines only. This may run against readers' habits of using creams — but those creams are steroids of varying strength that work instantly and get people hooked, since there's no need to rest the face the next day and makeup can go straight back on, until a beloved pot of steroid cream goes everywhere with them. Eventually the skin weakens and becomes dependent on the cream, until one day no cosmetics can be used at all — a misery for everyone around them.

Causes of dandruff and scalp problems - Dandruff arises when the scalp becomes too dry - It can result from overly concentrated shampoo or washing too often - It can occur together with yeast infection or dermatitis Treating dandruff and the scalp - Hair and scalp condition is checked with the DIHAM LAB for diagnosis - People with early dandruff should understand it comes from a dry scalp: use a mild shampoo and don't wash too often — it should improve within a week. If it doesn't, another cause is likely, such as dermatitis or yeast infection - Consult a hair and scalp specialist to check for these abnormalities, leading to correct treatment and prevention of further problems
Applying these concepts to molecular-level biology and anatomy has produced a range of tools: Laser light acting on blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and proteins such as collagen Radio waves that tighten the bonds of collagen fibers Focused sound waves creating anchoring points at various depths Special lasers generating reflected sound waves to organize leakage and circulation in delicate special skin layers
Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing skin disease of unclear cause that can run in families. Rashes appear on the scalp, arms, legs and torso — most often at the elbows and knees. The disease can affect the skin, scalp, nails and joints. On the skin it appears as raised red patches with clear borders and fairly adherent silvery-white scales. Importantly, flare factors include infection, scratching or abrasion that wounds the skin, certain medications, and stress. Current treatment falls into broad groups: topical medication, oral medication, and phototherapy (UVB phototherapy, PUVA). Because psoriasis is chronic, prolonged continuous use of medications with significant side effects can be dangerous, so we look for ways to avoid the long-term side effects of relying on any one drug — including treatment with the Pulsed Dye Laser, which Nitanad Clinic uses as an adjunct. Medical reports find Pulsed Dye Laser treatment effective. That said, choosing a psoriasis treatment still depends on many factors — the type and severity of the disease, the affected areas, and the patient's general health, underlying conditions and current medications.
How do you treat acne without leaving scars? The answer: use technology better than squeezing, dabbing or injecting acne — because pressing, dabbing and injecting not only damage the follicle but also increase the tendency to scar. The scar-preventing approach to acne treatment is to incorporate laser technology. Why is laser good? The answer: laser not only treats inflamed acne and post-acne redness — it also helps prevent acne scarring. Is laser treatment dangerous? The answer: no. Modern lasers — SmoothBeam, Vbeam Perfecta — are in the class that leaves no scabbing after treatment, unlike lasers used to cut out moles. SmoothBeam and Vbeam Perfecta technology is approved for acne treatment by the FDA in the United States, Thailand and many other countries.
Treatment has 2 parts: The flaking that indicates a yeast infection is treated with oral medication, plus topical medication or soap containing an active ingredient that kills the organism. The other part is restoring normal skin color: where discoloration is significant, UV-type laser light can stimulate faster color return, but without urgency the color returns on its own — provided you avoid the behaviors that bring tinea versicolor back. Skin fungus is uncommon today thanks to much better hygiene — except for people whose pets roam in soil and mud and carry fungus to their owners, or who do outdoor activities drenched in sweat and exposed to dust that may carry fungus, such as golf, cycling or marathon running. Prevention is similar to tinea versicolor: bathe thoroughly after exercise. Once infected, take or apply antifungal medication; topical treatment can sometimes lead to chronicity, and steroids should not be combined, as they mask symptoms and allow spread with no warning inflammation. Laser treatment for fungus is rarely necessary, except when oral medication is not possible or in very specific sites such as the nails — the principle being to use laser heat to kill the organism, like sterilizing medical instruments, without harming the skin. Images of the condition can be found by searching "Tinea Corporis".
