Sneak Peak into some exclusive treatments available at vlcc



Often, we hide behind our scarves, huge sunglasses and what not. The pigmentation on our face, the numerous freckles, acne issues and even hair loss can sometimes lead to low confidence. I personally feel the everyone is beautiful with whatever flaws they have. But if you want to work on them then I guess I have a place for you.

Most of you who follow me on Instagram already know that I attended the #vlccstylestatements event organized by VLCC recently. I asked you guys to drop me your skin and hair related queries on Snapchat and Instagram. I was overwhelmed to see the response that I got. So today I will be sharing a few treatments that are available at VLCC and that will help you manage your skin and hair-related problem.

Thermage
Aging affects us in the way we act, the way we feel, and definitely the way we look. But with advancements in skin care, you can have a say in the way aging affects your skin and maybe even get back to the way you looked not so long ago. Thermage is a proven, unique radio frequency treatment that can help improve the appearance of sagging or loose skin, giving you a smoother, sleeker and younger look and feel. Thermage works in just one treatment with little down time and delivers a natural looking result. It’s you, just younger looking and more confident.



Vampire Facelift
The US FDA approved Vampire Facelift treatment is available at VLCC and they are the best ones for this job. It stimulates collagen formation while rejuvenating your skin. This simple procedure uses your own platelets to smoothen out folds and wrinkles. This also helps with reduction of acne scars, open pores and stretch marks. Having already taken the West by storm, this treatment is a natural, safe, quick and effective solution for visible improvement in texture and luminescence of the skin. Treatment will occur in 3 sessions. Duration for this procedure is under 2 hours and frequency is once in a month.

Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure, which involves removal of permanent hair shafts along with roots from a hair bearing area called as “donor area” and transplantation into the bald area called as “recipient area”. In case of Hair Transplantation over scalp, hair are usually taken from the back and sides of the scalp. For patients with advanced baldness of scalp, hair can also be taken from beard, chest, axilla, and / or other body parts.

Ayurveda Spa
I am listing down below a few of the categories of Ayurvedic spa that are available at the VLCC Centre.

A unique program where the prescribed oil is liberally applied using soft and gentle strokes, followed by a steam bath. Improves appetite, induces good sleep, reduces stress levels and builds the body’s immunity.
