Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Rashmi Shetty discusses common skin problems, adult acne, acne prevention through diet, skincare basics, aging treatments, and more on The Ranveer Show. This episode offers valuable insights on skin health from one of India's top dermatologists.
A great dermatologist focuses on understanding the diagnosis first before starting treatment, prioritizing being a clinician and getting to the root of the problem.
Adult acne can be caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, dietary choices, and genetic predispositions, and can be aggravated by factors like pollution, inadequate sleep, and poor diet in urban areas.
Diet plays a significant role in skin health, especially acne, with excessive consumption of sugar, dairy, and processed foods leading to increased insulin levels, inflammation, and hormone imbalances.
Dermatologists use visual examination and techniques like magnifying glasses to analyze the type and severity of acne, offering individualized treatment approaches based on factors like age, lifestyle, and medical history.
Superficial peels are the most common type of peel in India, helping to clear complexion, improve acne scars, and even out skin tone.
Deep dives
Differentiating a great dermatologist from a good dermatologist
A great dermatologist is someone who is a qualified board-certified dermatologist and focuses on understanding the diagnosis first before starting with simple treatment options like lifestyle changes. They prioritize being a clinician and getting to the root of the problem rather than relying on quick fixes or treatments. They also emphasize empowering patients to become independent in managing their skin conditions.
Understanding the causes of adult acne
Adult acne can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, dietary choices, and even genetic predispositions. It is influenced by testosterone levels in males and the balance of hormones in females. Excessive oil production from sebaceous glands, inflammation, and bacterial infection can contribute to the development of acne. Factors like pollution, inadequate sleep, and poor diet can also exacerbate acne in urban areas.
Impact of diet on skin health
Diet plays a significant role in skin health, particularly in relation to acne. Excessive consumption of sugar, dairy products, and processed foods can lead to increased insulin levels, inflammation, and hormone imbalances that can worsen acne. Each person may have different dietary triggers, and it is important to listen to your body, observe how different foods affect your skin, and make dietary adjustments accordingly.
Understanding the role of dermatologists in treating acne
Dermatologists analyze the type and severity of acne through visual examination and may use techniques like magnifying glasses to assess its condition. Treatment approaches may include topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide, short-term use of antibiotics to control infection and inflammation, or more intense treatments like surgical interventions or steroid injections for specific cases. Dermatologists also emphasize the importance of a personalized approach to acne treatment, taking into consideration individual factors like age, lifestyle, and medical history.
Different types of peels and their effects on the skin
Peels can vary in depth from superficial to deep. Superficial peels remove the top dead layer of skin, giving a brighter appearance. Medium-depth peels can cause redness and irritation, while deep peels remove a layer of skin. In an Indian scenario, superficial peels are the most common. Peels can help clear complexion, improve acne scars, and even out skin tone.
Actors' main concerns: hair and skin
Actors, male and female, often have concerns about their hair and skin. Hair issues include receding hairlines, thinning hair, and damage from styling products and treatments. They seek treatment for brittle, dry, or thinning hair. In terms of skin, actors aim to have youthful, flawless complexions that look good under different lighting conditions. They focus on skincare, addressing acne, pigmentation, and maintaining a youthful appearance.
The effects of plastic surgery on the skin
Plastic surgery procedures like rhinoplasty or chin augmentation do not directly impact the skin. The skin remains the same after surgery. However, changes in the face contour achieved through surgery can enhance the appearance of the skin by creating a more balanced and harmonious facial structure.
Exercise improves circulation and detoxification
Exercise, including yoga, promotes improved blood flow, which nourishes the body's tissues and removes waste products. Muscles act as peripheral hearts, pumping fluids back to the heart and reducing puffiness. Exercise also helps lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation and promoting detoxification. Lymphatic drainage massages can be beneficial in improving circulation and reducing acne by opening and pushing lymphatic fluid back to the heart.
Retinol and its effects on the skin
Retinol, a vitamin A precursor, is a popular anti-aging ingredient. It increases cell turnover, removes dead skin cells, and promotes fresh and youthful-looking skin. While retinol works for many people, it is not suitable for everyone. Thicker, oily skin types benefit most from retinol, while those with thin, dry, or sensitive skin may experience irritation. Other anti-aging treatments, such as peptides, may be more suitable for these types of skin. Retinol can also be used to improve acne by reducing oil production and increasing cell turnover.
