BODY & MIND THOSE disillusioned with their ageing image in the mirror can now buy youthful looks again. The much-talked about age defying treatment options successfully tried by film stars are now available in India. It is now possible to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles in just 20 minutes, says Dr Vimal Malik, a surgeon, who runs Eleganza, a rejuvenation clinic, in Rajouri Garden, with his wife, Dr Seema Malik (a pathologist and laser expert). The instant removal of wrinkles and fine lines is done by the revolutionary technology of Gel Implant. Dr Vimal Malik says that the FDA approved technology is painless and free of any side effects. The treatment is also used for shaping facial contour, lip sculpting and correction of facial hollow cheeks. The treatment costs anything between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000 depending on the extent of work a face demands. The product used in the treatment is Non-Animal Synthetic Hyalarunic Acid (NASHA) 20 mg/ml and physiological saline pH 7 qs The gel is available in three forms depending on the molecular size of the NASHA. The gel is clear and transparent and as biodegradable as the
hyaluronic acid of the body. Follow up treatment, is therefore, needed only after a year. A second sitting would also depend on other factors such as the skin, lifestage, age and the degree of perfection demanded by the client. Dr Malik says that about five patients come to their clinic every week for removal of wrinkles. He says that the Gel Implant technique has been used by over 500 million people across the world including Hollywood celebrities as Mellani Griffeth, Demi Moore and Meg Ryan.
Lifetime achievement award for docs Two Delhi based doctors- Dr S.K. Sama, Chairman of Ganga Ram Hospital, and Dr D.S. Gambhir, an eminent Cardiologist, have been honoured with DMA (Delhi Medical Association) Ratna for contribution in the field of gastroenterology and interventional cardiology. The Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs Shiela Dikshit, gave away the lifetime achievement award, carrying silver trophies, to Dr Sama and Dr Gambhir on the opening day of the 46th annual medical conference of DMA. In her inaugural address, Mrs Dikshit called upon private medical practitioners to provide concessional or free services to atleast 10 per cent of patients who cannot afford treatment. She expressed the hope that the voluntary service would serve to eradicate the menace of quackery. Addressing a gathering of about 500 doctors, the Health Minister of Delhi, Dr A.K. Walia, said that the role of the private practitioner cannot be ignored as he is the first to reach the reach in an emergency. Dr Walia said that all doctors ought to update their knowledge about resuscitation on an annual basis. DMA President, Dr Anil Bansal, reiterated the association’s commitment to provide state-of-the-art preventive health care to society.

Observe
personal hygiene and good food habits this summer TAKE care of your food habits this summer. The dusty atmosphere and scorching sunlight can not only harm your skin but also your health. Though these things need to be done regularly but often we do not give heed to these but it could prove dangerous to avoid precautions in summers. Make sure that you wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating. Adequate cooking is needed to kill bacteria and prevent them from re-growing after cooking. Refrigerate meats as soon as possible after bringing them home and cook them until they are no longer pink. After meals, refrigerate the cooked leftovers as soon as possible. Don’t forget to wash kitchen counters and utensils after they have been in contact with raw meat especially poultry. Carry own water bottles especially when going out. Dr. Arun Kumar, Senior Consultant Gastroenterology, Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute says: “The most important thing for the people is to stop activities that they enjoy, but take appropriate preventive measures. Following just few simple steps is the shortest way to reduce infections. Actually the source of most of the gastrointestinal infections is contaminated food and water. Non- vegetarian food items as beef, sea food, ham, meat, dairy and poultry products, items that are not stored properly- all carry infections. And in summers, these infections spread more quickly.” He says one must ensure personal hygiene to avoid acquisition and transmission of infections. Dirty hands carry
infectious germs into the body. Washing hands is the most effective means of preventing infections that are passed on from one person to the other. |
