Skin Biopsy

• Done either to confirm clinical diagnosis, establish a diagnosis in a doubtful skin lesion and sometimes to strategize treatment.  In small lesions, it can also serve as treatment.
• Is a minor procedure, usually done using a disposable punch — such a wound if not on the face, does not need to be stitched. However, depending on the lesion and diagnosis, sometimes a deeper scalpel biopsy will need to be done, and this would need to be stitched.

Electrosurgery/RFA

• Used for removal of warts, molluscum contagiosum, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags. It is also used for skin rejuvenation.
• Uses electric current to create heat and is used in different modes — electrosection, electrocoagulation, electrodessication and fulguration. 
• Skin lesions are effectively treated while producing minimal side effects and complications by this method.
• At Amrita Hospital we have a KLS Martin machine, which is the best of its kind.

Cryosurgery

• Used for treatment of warts, molluscum contagiosum, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags and other small lesions.
• Utilizes extremely cold temperature of a cryogen (usually liquid nitrogen), delivered in a controlled fashion. There are several ways to deliver the cryogen. 
• Simple, cost-effective, efficacious and esthetically acceptable modality. Though there are several ways of doing cryotherapy, at Amrita we use a cryogun, which gives extremely good control over treatment.

Laser Hair Reduction

• Is done when women have unwanted body hair. It is also done to prepare skin from a hairy area when it is grafted to a non-hairy area.
• Should only be planned by a trained dermatologist, after ruling out and addressing underlying hormonal issues, otherwise the hair reduction may be suboptimal. Apart from evaluating for underlying hormonal issues, the dermatologist will be able to choose the appropriate laser and the dose and duration of laser pulse to be used, based on the quality of hair growth and color of your skin.
• At Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, we are equipped with the latest Suprano Ice Platinum from Alma. This laser combines 3 lasers (diode, Nd-YAG, Alexandrite) in a single hand piece which targets different color/ thickness of hair follicle and is the most comprehensive platform available.  It provides virtually painless yet effective and safe hair removal experience to patients.

Chemical Peels

• Common indications of chemical peels include acne (some types), to improve skin texture (blotchy complexion, uneven, dull skin tone, fine wrinkles, especially under eyes and around the mouth) and pigmentation of skin (freckles, melasma).
• There are different peels available like   glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid peel, combination peels. Depending on the chemical and its concentration, peels can be superficial, medium and deep.
• At Amrita, we have the expertise to do all types of peels.

Micro-needling Radiofrequency

• MNRF is also called collagen induction therapy.
• Is used to treat and improve conditions like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, pore size and stretch marks.
• Has an edge over many therapy platforms due to its efficacy and short down time.
• The platform we are procuring at Amrita, Faridabad combines MNRF with fractional CO2 laser, which is itself a great equipment for managing acne scars and for facial rejuvenation.
