New Year Reflection and Resolution From Lt Col (Rtd) Dr Faiza Aamir CEO, SkinDot Clinics PWD Branch

As I welcome the New Year, I do so with gratitude, reflection, and a renewed sense of responsibility. Medicine, for me, has never been just a profession. It has been a lifelong commitment to discipline, ethics, and service — values shaped deeply during my years in uniform and carried forward into civilian medical practice.

The past year at SkinDot Clinics has been one of steady growth and meaningful learning. We strengthened our PWD branch not just in numbers, but in trust. We built systems that prioritize patient dignity, reduced waiting times, improved coordination between our administrative and clinical teams, and ensured that every patient interaction reflected respect and professionalism. Seeing patients return with confidence, comfort, and visible improvement in their skin health has been the most rewarding achievement of all.

We expanded responsibly — investing in trained professionals, modern equipment, strict hygiene protocols, and evidence-based treatment pathways. Our focus remained clear: no shortcuts, no exaggerated claims, and no compromise on medical ethics. Every treatment decision was grounded in clinical knowledge, experience, and patient safety. This is what I believe true healthcare leadership looks like.

As CEO of the PWD branch, my New Year resolution is deeply personal. I aim to further strengthen a culture where patients feel heard, staff feel valued, and medicine is practiced with integrity. We will continue improving our systems, supporting continuous learning, and ensuring transparency in every aspect of care — from consultation to follow-up.

Expertise is built over years, experience is earned through service, and trust is created through consistency. In the coming year, my commitment is to uphold all three — personally and professionally. SkinDot Clinics will continue to grow, but never at the cost of its core values.

A new year brings new goals, but the purpose remains the same: honest medicine, compassionate care, and skin health guided by science and conscience.

New Year Reflection and Resolution From Dr Rabeea Naveed Medical Director, SkinDot Clinics Islamabad – Khanna Pull Branch

 

A new year is always a pause — a moment to look back honestly and move forward with intention. As a clinician and as Medical Director at SkinDot Clinics Khanna Pull, I see this transition not as a formality, but as a responsibility to do better medicine, better systems, and better patient care.

The past year has been deeply fulfilling. At our Khanna Pull branch, we focused on strengthening the fundamentals: accurate diagnosis, ethical treatment planning, and patient education. We streamlined clinical workflows, reduced waiting times, and ensured that every patient was managed with dignity, privacy, and transparency. Watching patients regain confidence in their skin and trust in medical care has been our most meaningful achievement.

We invested in trained teams, safe protocols, and evidence-based technologies while staying grounded in clinical judgment rather than trends. No treatment was offered without medical indication, and no result was promised beyond what science and experience could support. This balance between innovation and responsibility defines how I believe dermatology should be practiced.

As we step into the New Year, my resolution is clear. I am committed to further strengthening clinical governance, mentoring younger clinicians, and ensuring consistent standards across consultations, procedures, and follow-ups. Patient safety, informed consent, and long-term outcomes will remain non-negotiable. Growth will continue, but always with ethics at the center.

Experience teaches you that trust is earned quietly — one consultation at a time. In the coming year, my focus remains on building that trust through competence, compassion, and consistency. SkinDot Clinics will continue to evolve, but its core promise will not change: honest dermatology, delivered with care and accountability.

New year. Renewed purpose. Medicine practiced the right way.

How the Keto Diet Can Affect Your Skin: What You Need to Know

 How the Keto Diet Can Affect Your Skin: What You Need to Know

By Dr. Danish Hafeez Malik, SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, Khanna Pul Branch

When patients come to me at SkinDot Clinics, one of the first questions they often ask is: “Doctor, will my keto diet harm my skin?” Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how dietary changes—especially popular ones like keto—can impact the skin in ways many people don’t anticipate.

Understanding the Connection

The ketogenic diet is high in fats and extremely low in carbohydrates. While it can be effective for weight management, fat loss, and even blood sugar control, it can affect your skin differently depending on your body and skin type.

Some patients notice a clearer complexion after reducing sugar and refined carbs. Lower insulin levels often mean less sebum production, which can calm acne. Others, however, experience temporary breakouts, dryness, or dull skin when first starting keto.

Common Skin Problems on Keto

1. Dryness and dehydration

When the body enters ketosis, water loss increases. This can lead to dry, flaky skin and chapped lips. A simple fix: increase water intake and use a gentle, nourishing moisturizer.

2. Acne flare-ups

Some patients see temporary worsening of acne. This is often due to hormonal adjustments and changes in fat metabolism. Patience is key here, along with professional guidance on suitable skincare routines.

3. Nutrient deficiencies

A strict keto diet may reduce intake of essential vitamins like C, E, and zinc. These nutrients are critical for skin repair, glow, and preventing hair thinning. A well-planned diet or supplementation often resolves these issues.

4. Keto rash (Prurigo Pigmentosa)

In rare cases, a red, itchy rash may appear on the chest, back, or neck. I’ve treated a few patients with this condition, and the solution usually involves slightly adjusting carb intake or applying topical soothing treatments.

Practical Tips From SkinDot Clinics

Hydrate and moisturize: Drinking plenty of water and applying a rich moisturizer can prevent dryness.

Balance nutrients: Ensure your diet covers essential vitamins and minerals.

Monitor changes: Keep a simple diary of skin reactions after dietary changes.

Seek professional advice: If acne, rashes, or dryness persist, a dermatologist can provide personalized solutions.

A Personal Note

I remember a patient, a young professional from Khanna Pul, who had been struggling with sudden breakouts while on keto. By adjusting hydration, introducing gentle skincare, and monitoring her vitamin intake, we were able to bring her skin back to balance within a few weeks. It’s small changes like these, combined with professional guidance, that make a real difference.

Bottom Line:

The keto diet can have both positive and negative effects on your skin. Understanding your skin’s unique needs, staying hydrated, and seeking professional care when necessary can help you enjoy the benefits of keto without compromising your skin’s health.

If you’re on keto and noticing changes in your skin, the dermatologists at SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, Khanna Pul, are here to help. Personalized plans, practical solutions, and evidence-based guidance await.

Common Dermatology And Aesthetic Questions — Answered By SkinDot Clinics Islamabad

At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, patients often come after months or years of trying treatments that did not work. Below are clear, evidence-based answers to the most common questions we receive daily at our PWD and Khanna Pull branches.

Why Does Acne Keep Coming Back Even After Using Medicines?

Persistent acne usually means the root cause was never fully addressed. Hormonal imbalance, wrong antibiotic duration, overuse of steroid creams, unsuitable skincare products, or poor compliance are common reasons. Acne requires a customized plan, not random prescriptions.

Is Melasma Curable Or Only Manageable?

Melasma is a chronic condition. It can be controlled and significantly lightened, but it requires strict sun protection, correct topical therapy, and carefully selected procedures like chemical peels or Pico Laser. Aggressive or wrong lasers often worsen pigmentation.

Which Laser Is Safest For Darker Skin Tones?

For South Asian skin, Pico Laser, Soprano Diode Laser, and controlled fractional treatments are safer when used by trained dermatologists. Skin type assessment matters more than the machine name.

Hydrafacial Or Chemical Peel — Which Is Better?

Hydrafacial improves hydration and glow. Chemical peels treat acne, pigmentation, and texture. They are not substitutes; they serve different goals. Treatment choice depends on your skin concern, not trends.

Does PRP Actually Help Hair Loss?

PRP improves hair thickness and reduces shedding when combined with proper diagnosis and medical treatment. It does not regrow dead follicles and is not effective alone in advanced baldness.

How Many Sessions Are Needed For Acne Scars?

Acne scars improve gradually. Most patients need 3–6 sessions using combinations of Microneedling Radiofrequency, CO2 Laser, or Pico Laser. Complete scar removal is unrealistic; visible improvement is realistic.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal reduces hair growth significantly and long term. Maintenance sessions may be needed due to hormonal changes. Soprano Diode Laser offers effective results with minimal discomfort.

Are Fillers And Botox Safe?

They are safe only when performed by qualified medical professionals using authentic products. Incorrect technique and cheap products are the main causes of complications.

Why Do Treatments Fail When Done Elsewhere?

Most failures occur due to wrong diagnosis, under-treatment, over-treatment, poor follow-up, or non-medical providers performing medical procedures.

When Should I See A Dermatologist Urgently?

Sudden rashes, fast-spreading hair loss, painful skin lesions, severe itching, drug reactions, or infections should be evaluated immediately.

At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, every treatment plan is built on diagnosis, evidence, and safety — not trends or shortcuts. Our goal is long-term skin and hair health, not temporary fixes.

کھلے پورز کے لیے گھر پر ڈرما رولر استعمال کرنا بہتر ہے یا گرم تولیہ؟

اسکن ڈاٹ کلینک اسلام آباد کی طرف سے:

اگر آپ سوچ رہے ہیں کہ کھلے پورز کے لیے گھر پر ڈرما رولر استعمال کرنا بہتر ہے یا گرم تولیہ؟ تو آئیے اسے واضح کریں۔

ڈرما رولر (مائیکرونیڈلنگ):
یہ کولیجن کو متحرک کرتا ہے جس سے وقت کے ساتھ پورز کی ظاہری شکل میں بہتری آ سکتی ہے۔ لیکن گھر پر صحیح طول، دباؤ اور جراثیم سے پاک تکنیک کے بغیر استعمال کرنے سے جلد پر زخم، سوجن، انفیکشن یا داغ کا خطرہ بڑھ سکتا ہے۔

گرم تولیہ یا سٹیم:
یہ عارضی طور پر جلد کو نرم اور پورز کو کم نمایاں دکھانے میں مدد دیتا ہے۔ یہ صرف وقتی اثر کے لیے ہے، مستقل تبدیلی کے لیے نہیں۔

عملی رہنمائی:

• فوری اور وقتی اثر کے لیے: گرم تولیہ/سٹیم استعمال کریں تاکہ جلد نرم ہو اور سیبم آسانی سے نکل جائے۔
• مستقل نتائج کے لیے: کلینک میں کنٹرولڈ مائیکرونیڈلنگ، لیزر یا کیمیکل پیل بہتر ہیں۔
• گھر پر ڈرما رولر استعمال کرنے سے پہلے ماہر کی رہنمائی ضروری ہے، ورنہ پورز مزید بڑھ سکتے ہیں۔

ہمارا مشورہ: روزانہ صفائی، سیلیکائلک ایسڈ پر مبنی کلینزر اور SPF کے ساتھ ہلکی ہوم رُوٹین رکھیں، گرم تولیہ شامل کریں اگر پسند ہو، اور مستقل نتائج کے لیے پروفیشنل ٹریٹمنٹ کروائیں۔

اسکن ڈاٹ کلینک اسلام آباد ہمیشہ نتائج + حفاظت کو ترجیح دیتا ہے۔

Stubborn Skin & Hair Problems: Why Treatments Fail — And How We Fix Them

 

Stubborn Skin & Hair Problems: Why Treatments Fail — And How We Fix Them

Hairfall Not Stopping Despite Treatments

When hair keeps shedding, the root causes are often hidden: iron deficiency, thyroid imbalance, chronic stress, post-COVID effects, or misdiagnosed hair loss type. At SkinDot, we reassess labs, scalp health, and follicles, then create a customized, staged treatment plan instead of repeating therapies blindly.

PRP / Mesotherapy Didn’t Work

These therapies amplify growth—they don’t restart dormant follicles. We first stabilize shedding, correct deficiencies, reduce inflammation, then reintroduce regenerative treatments for real results.

Acne Keeps Returning

Recurrent acne usually signals unaddressed drivers: hormones, stress, gut-skin connection, or steroid overuse. We build long-term maintenance plans, hormonal screening if needed, and barrier-friendly routines.

Pigmentation Not Improving

Pigmentation fails when triggers persist: friction, heat, sun exposure, genetics, or aggressive lasers. We pause procedures, strengthen the skin barrier, use anti-inflammatory topicals, and carefully escalate with low-energy protocols.

Melasma Darkened After Treatment

Melasma is a biological response. Overtreatment causes rebound. We use slow, evidence-based protocols, pigment stabilizers, Pico laser where suitable, and long-term maintenance plans.

Dandruff Not Going Away

Persistent dandruff often means seborrheic dermatitis. Triggers include stress, weather, and inconsistent care. Maintenance therapy and structured scalp care are key.

Skin Looks Dull Despite Facials and Serums

Dullness often signals barrier damage, dehydration, anemia, or poor sleep. Facials polish the surface; real improvement needs barrier repair, hydration therapy, and internal correction.

Lasers Didn’t Improve Scars or Pores

Not all scars or pores are the same. Wrong depth or wrong laser = poor results. We map scar types and use combination protocols: MNRF + Fractional Laser + Subcision when indicated.

General Note on Stubborn Cases

Almost no case is untreatable. What fails is protocol repetition without reassessment. SkinDot focuses on root causes, staged treatment plans, realistic timelines, and patient safety first.

Fat Dissolving Injections FAQs SkinDot Clinics Islamabad

 What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?

Fat dissolving injections are minimally invasive injectable treatments designed to target and reduce localized fat pockets by breaking down fat cells. These are ideal for patients with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond well to diet or exercise.

How Do They Work?

These injections contain agents (such as deoxycholic acid) that disrupt adipocyte (fat cell) membranes, allowing the body to metabolize and clear the released fat naturally over time. The process is clinical, controlled, and sits squarely in the non-surgical body-contouring category.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

Common treatment zones include the submental area (double chin), jawline, abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), bra line, inner thighs, and arms. Custom treatment plans are crafted based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Am I A Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates are those with localized fat deposits, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations. These injections aren’t for significant weight loss. A consult with our dermatology specialists (leveraging SkinDot Clinics’ evidence-based assessment) determines appropriateness.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Most patients benefit from 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This cadence gives tissues time to respond and ensures safe metabolic clearance of dissolved fat.

Is the Procedure Painful?

Discomfort is generally mild. Topical numbing and gentle injection techniques minimize pain. Some patients describe sensation as pressure or warmth rather than sharp pain.

What Is the Downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Expect mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site for 48–72 hours. Most patients resume regular activities the same day.

When Will I See Results?

Results evolve gradually over 4–12 weeks as the body metabolizes fat cells. Visible improvement typically becomes noticeable after the second session in most cases.

Are Results Permanent?

The treated fat cells are permanently disrupted. However, overall body weight changes can influence remaining fat distribution. Maintenance of a healthy lifestyle is recommended to preserve outcomes.

What Are The Risks & Side Effects?

Common, transient side effects include swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, numbness, or firmness in the treated area. Rare but important risks (e.g., temporary nerve irritation) are thoroughly reviewed during consultation.

How Do I Prepare for Treatment?

Avoid anti-inflammatory medications, alcohol, and blood thinners (unless medically necessary) for a few days prior, as advised by your clinician. Hydration and a clear medical history help optimize safety.

Why Choose SkinDot Clinics For Fat Dissolving Injections?

At SkinDot Clinics, clinical excellence meets patient-centric planning. Our board-certified dermatologists use evidence-based protocols, personalized consults, and outcome-focused execution, ensuring safety, predictability, and a high standard of cosmetic medicine.

Is It Covered By Insurance?

Fat dissolving injections are cosmetic in nature and typically not covered by medical insurance. Transparent cost estimates and package options are shared during patient consults.

How Do I Book A Consultation?

Reach our centralized booking team or use our online appointment system to schedule a comprehensive assessment with a certified dermatologist.

Poverty And The Rising Resistance In Fungal Skin Infections: A Ground Reality From Our Region

 Antifungal resistance is often discussed in scientific journals and conferences as a pharmacological or microbiological problem. On the ground, however, especially in South Asian regions like Pakistan, the roots of this crisis lie far deeper. Poverty remains the single most powerful driver behind the increasing burden and resistance of tinea and other fungal skin infections.

In low-income communities, overcrowding is a daily reality. Multiple family members often share small living spaces, clothing, towels, and bedding. This environment is ideal for the spread of dermatophyte infections. Add to this limited access to clean water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene facilities, and fungal infections become not just common, but persistent.

Healthcare access is another critical factor. Poverty restricts timely consultation with qualified dermatologists. Many patients rely on over-the-counter medications, unregulated combination creams, or advice from non-medical sources. Inappropriate steroid-containing creams temporarily suppress symptoms but worsen fungal infections in the long run, leading to chronicity and resistance. By the time patients reach a specialist, the disease is often extensive, recurrent, and difficult to treat.

Delayed treatment further compounds the problem. When daily survival takes priority, skin infections are perceived as low-urgency issues. Treatment is frequently interrupted due to cost, lack of understanding of treatment duration, or early symptom relief. Incomplete courses of antifungal therapy create the perfect conditions for resistant strains to emerge.

Poverty and illiteracy are tightly intertwined. Low literacy levels limit awareness about basic preventive measures such as personal hygiene, avoidance of sharing personal items, early treatment, and adherence to prescribed regimens. Without education, myths flourish, self-medication increases, and evidence-based care is sidelined.

It is unrealistic to expect long-term control of antifungal resistance without addressing these socioeconomic determinants. Medical interventions alone cannot succeed in isolation. Economic reforms, improved public health infrastructure, regulation of topical medications, community education, and accessible primary dermatological care are essential pillars of any sustainable solution.

Until poverty is addressed at a structural level, fungal infections will continue to recur, resistance will continue to rise, and dermatologists will remain in a cycle of damage control rather than disease prevention. Skin health, like all health, is ultimately a reflection of social and economic health.

True progress will come not only from better drugs, but from better living conditions, better education, and a healthcare system that reaches patients before disease becomes entrenched.

Fitzpatrick Skin Types And Pakistani Skin: A Complete Guide

 Understanding your skin type is one of the most important steps toward healthy skin and safe aesthetic treatments. In dermatology, the Fitzpatrick Skin Type system is widely used to classify skin based on how it reacts to sun exposure. This system helps predict the risk of sunburn, tanning, pigmentation disorders, and complications from procedures such as lasers and chemical peels.

What Is The Fitzpatrick Skin Type System?

The Fitzpatrick classification divides skin into six types, ranging from very fair to very dark. These skin types are based on genetic factors and how the skin responds to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Type I skin is very fair and always burns, never tans.

Type II skin is fair and burns easily, tanning minimally.

Type III skin is light brown or wheatish, may burn mildly, and tans gradually.

Type IV skin is moderate brown, rarely burns, and tans easily.

Type V skin is dark brown, almost never burns, and tans deeply.

Type VI skin is very dark and never burns.

Which Fitzpatrick Skin Types Are Common In Pakistan?

In Pakistan, most individuals fall under Fitzpatrick Skin Types III, IV, and V. These skin types have higher melanin content, which influences how the skin behaves and responds to treatments.

Higher melanin offers some natural protection against sunlight, but it also increases the risk of pigmentation problems such as melasma, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone. This is why skincare routines and aesthetic treatments must be adapted for South Asian skin rather than copied from Western protocols.

Key Characteristics Of Pakistani Skin

Pakistani skin tends to be more reactive to heat, inflammation, and improper procedures. Pigmentation can worsen quickly if acne, rashes, or injuries are not treated correctly. Harsh exfoliation, frequent chemical peels, and misuse of topical steroids are common causes of long-term skin damage in this population.

Skincare Advice For Pakistani Skin Types

Daily sun protection is essential for all skin types, regardless of weather or indoor exposure. Gentle cleansers and moisturizers that support the skin barrier are safer than aggressive products.

Acne should be treated early to prevent dark marks and scarring. Steroid creams and unverified home remedies should be avoided, as they often lead to pigmentation and skin thinning. Active ingredients such as azelaic acid, retinoids, and vitamin C should ideally be used under medical guidance.

Importance Of Skin Type In Aesthetic Procedures

For laser and energy-based treatments, adjusting parameters according to Fitzpatrick skin type is critical. Incorrect settings can cause burns, prolonged redness, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly in Types IV and V.

This is why professional assessment by a qualified dermatologist is essential before undergoing any aesthetic procedure.

Conclusion

Understanding Fitzpatrick skin types helps individuals make informed decisions about skincare and cosmetic treatments. For Pakistani skin, a personalized, skin-type–based approach leads to safer treatments, fewer complications, and better long-term results.

Education, prevention, and customization remain the foundations of healthy skin care.

Importance Of Free Medical Camps For Dermatology And Aesthetics Clinics In Rawalpindi Islamabad – SkinDot Clinics

 Free medical camps are not charity events alone; they are strategic, ethical, and high-impact healthcare initiatives. In cities like Rawalpindi and Islamabad, where awareness about skin health and aesthetic medicine is growing but access remains uneven, free dermatology and aesthetics camps play a critical role. For clinics like SkinDot Clinics, these camps sit at the intersection of community service, preventive medicine, and sustainable clinic growth.

Bridging The Access Gap

Skin diseases are common, visible, and often ignored until they become severe. Many patients delay consultations due to cost concerns, misinformation, or lack of awareness. Free medical camps remove the first barrier: access. They allow people from surrounding areas to receive professional dermatology advice, basic diagnosis, and guidance without financial hesitation. This early touchpoint prevents complications and reduces long-term disease burden.

Raising Awareness About Preventive Skin Care

Dermatology is not just about treatment; it is about prevention. Conditions like acne, melasma, fungal infections, hair fall, and eczema respond best when addressed early. Free camps create an educational environment where dermatologists can counsel patients on daily skin care, sun protection, hygiene, and realistic expectations from aesthetic treatments. This awareness directly improves community skin health.

Building Trust In Aesthetics And Dermatology Services

Aesthetics medicine often suffers from myths and fear, especially among first-time patients. Free camps humanize the clinic and the doctor. When people interact with qualified dermatologists in a no-pressure setting, trust is built. This trust later converts into informed, long-term patients who seek treatments with confidence rather than hesitation.

Early Detection Of Serious Skin Conditions

Free dermatology camps are valuable screening tools. Suspicious moles, chronic non-healing lesions, severe psoriasis, and neglected infections are often discovered during these events. Early referral can be life-saving. For a clinic, this reinforces its role not just as a business, but as a responsible healthcare institution.

Strengthening Community Presence In Rawalpindi Islamabad

Healthcare is local. Clinics that actively engage with their surrounding communities gain visibility and credibility. Free medical camps help SkinDot Clinics connect with residents of Rawalpindi and Islamabad at a grassroots level. This creates strong word-of-mouth, which remains one of the most powerful growth drivers in medical practice.

Ethical Marketing With Long-Term Impact

Unlike traditional advertising, free medical camps are value-driven. They showcase expertise through action, not slogans. Patients remember genuine care. From a business perspective, camps create organic brand recall, improve reputation, and attract patients who are already educated and motivated to continue treatment.

Professional Satisfaction And Team Development

For dermatologists and clinic staff, these camps offer professional fulfillment. Treating a diverse patient population sharpens clinical skills and reinforces the core purpose of medicine. Teams also become more aligned with the clinic’s mission, improving internal culture and service quality.

SkinDot Clinics And Community Skin Health

At SkinDot Clinics, free medical camps are seen as an investment in healthier communities across Rawalpindi and Islamabad. By combining education, early diagnosis, and ethical outreach, these initiatives strengthen both public health and the future of dermatology and aesthetics practice.

In a healthcare landscape where trust matters as much as technology, free medical camps are not optional extras. They are a smart, responsible, and impactful strategy for any dermatology and aesthetics clinic committed to long-term excellence.

Sitting Close to Heaters in Winters can Cause Erythema Ab Igne

 

Sitting too close to heaters feels comforting in Islamabad winters, but it can silently damage the skin. This chronic heat exposure can lead to a condition called erythema ab igne, also known as “toasted skin syndrome”.

## What is erythema ab igne?

Erythema ab igne is a skin reaction caused by repeated exposure to moderate, non‑burning heat, usually over weeks to months. The affected area develops a net‑like (lacy) pattern of redness that can gradually turn brownish or violaceous. Over time, the skin may become dry, itchy, and mildly thinned, and in long‑standing cases there is a small but real risk of precancerous or cancerous change.

## Common everyday sources of heat

In local practice, the most frequent cause is sitting very close to gas or electric heaters in winter, especially with legs or back just a few inches away. Other sources include hot water bottles and heating pads placed on the same spot daily, car seat warmers, and even keeping a laptop on the thighs for long periods. Because the heat is “comfortably warm” and not burning, patients often do not realize the damage until the discoloration is obvious.

## How does it look and where does it appear?

Classically, erythema ab igne appears as a reticulate (net‑like) reddish or brownish patch that matches the area exposed to heat. On the legs it often affects the shins when a person sits directly facing a heater; on the back or abdomen it may follow the shape of a heating pad or hot bottle. In early stages the pattern may fade when heat exposure stops, but with ongoing exposure it becomes fixed and darker, sometimes with mild scaling or a slightly rough texture.

## Why is it a concern?

Many people take this rash as “just pigmentation from heater” and ignore it. Persistent erythema ab igne indicates chronic thermal injury to the skin, with alteration of collagen and elastic tissue. In long‑standing, untreated cases reported in literature, there is a risk of developing actinic keratosis‑like lesions or even skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma in the damaged area. Beyond the medical risk, the cosmetic impact—patchy brown, net‑like marks—can be distressing and difficult to treat once established.

## When to see a dermatologist?

A dermatology consultation is recommended if the rash is persistent, spreading, associated with burning or itching, or if there are any non‑healing scaly or ulcerated areas within the patch. A specialist will take a detailed exposure history (heaters, laptops, hot bottles, stoves) and examine the pattern and distribution. In doubtful or very chronic cases, a skin biopsy may be advised to rule out precancerous or malignant change.

## Treatment options at SkinDot Clinics

The most important “treatment” is to stop further heat exposure—the skin cannot recover while the same source of injury continues. Once that is addressed, management usually focuses on:

- Topical therapies to reduce inflammation and pigmentation, such as mild topical steroids for short periods and depigmenting or antioxidant creams.  

- Strict photoprotection, because sun exposure can worsen the pigmentation over already‑damaged skin.  

- For stubborn discoloration, procedural options like chemical peels, laser toning, or other pigment‑targeted lasers may be considered after clinical assessment.  

- In very chronic or suspicious lesions, excision or biopsy‑guided treatment is essential to address any precancerous change.

Response varies: early erythema ab igne may fade significantly over months once heat is avoided, whereas long‑standing lesions may only partially improve and need multiple treatment sessions.

## How to prevent heater‑related skin damage

Simple behavior changes can prevent erythema ab igne, especially during harsh Islamabad winters:

- Keep a distance of at least 2–3 feet from gas or electric heaters.  

- Avoid keeping the same body part directly facing the heater for long periods—change posture frequently.  

- Do not place hot water bottles or heating pads on bare skin; wrap them in a towel and limit use to short intervals.  

- Use room heating or layered warm clothing instead of intense focal heat wherever possible.  

- Monitor children and elderly family members who tend to sit very close to heaters.

## Key message from SkinDot Clinics Islamabad

Warmth is important, but so is skin safety. If you notice a net‑like reddish or brown patch on the legs, back, or any area that is regularly near a heat source, consider it a warning sign rather than a harmless mark. Early recognition, avoiding further heat, and timely dermatology consultation can prevent permanent discoloration and reduce long‑term risks. At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, heater‑related pigmentation and erythema ab igne are seen every winter season, and tailored treatment plans are designed to address both the cosmetic concern and underlying skin health.

Winter Skincare: Keep Your Skin Hydrated and Radiant

 Winter brings cozy vibes, hot drinks, and crisp air—but it can be harsh on your skin. Cold temperatures, low humidity, and indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry, flaky, and dull. At SkinDot Clinics, we believe every season is an opportunity to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and protected.

Why Winter Affects Your Skin

The skin’s natural barrier slows down in winter, making it prone to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Without proper care, issues like redness, rough patches, and premature aging can appear faster.

Tips for Winter-Ready Skin

Moisturize daily: Choose a rich, hydrating cream that locks in moisture.

Gentle cleansing: Avoid harsh soaps; opt for mild, nourishing cleansers.

Sun protection: UV rays are still present in winter—apply sunscreen daily.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Seasonal treatments: Professional treatments like hydrating facials can restore your skin’s glow.

At SkinDot Clinics, our dermatologists provide personalized winter skincare plans tailored to your skin type. Whether it’s dryness, dullness, or sensitivity, we have solutions to keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.

Book your consultation today and give your skin the care it deserves this winter.

Why Flexible Payment Methods Matter in Aesthetic Clinics

 In today’s fast-paced world, convenience plays a crucial role in healthcare—especially in aesthetic and dermatology clinics. At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, we understand that excellent skincare and aesthetic treatments go hand-in-hand with a smooth, hassle-free payment experience.

Offering multiple payment options is more than just a convenience—it builds trust and improves the overall patient experience. Whether a patient prefers paying via cash, debit or credit cards, Easypaisa, or online bank transfer, having these options ensures that payment is never a barrier to receiving quality care.

Modern POS systems and digital payment methods allow clinics to provide secure, transparent, and efficient transactions. For aesthetic clinics, where patients often opt for advanced procedures, flexible payment solutions make it easier for them to manage their treatments without financial stress.

At SkinDot Clinics, both our Khanna Pul and PWD Road branches are equipped with fully operational POS machines and digital payment solutions, so patients can focus entirely on their skincare journey. Convenience in payments reflects the clinic’s commitment to professional, patient-centered care.

Ultimately, when payment methods are simple and flexible, patients feel valued, respected, and more likely to return for follow-ups or additional treatments. At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, we believe that excellent skincare should always be paired with seamless service—from consultation to payment.

Woolen Clothes, Winter, and Their Impact on Your Skin

 Winter brings cozy layers, warm sweaters, and unfortunately, a rise in skin problems. At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, we commonly see patients during winter complaining of itching, dryness, redness, and worsening eczema. One overlooked reason is prolonged contact with woolen clothing.

Wool fibers are naturally rough. When worn directly against the skin, they can cause friction and irritation, especially in people with sensitive skin. Winter air is already dry, and when sweat gets trapped under heavy clothing, the skin barrier becomes even weaker. This combination often leads to itching, rashes, and flare-ups of conditions like eczema and dermatitis.

Another factor is reduced moisturizing. Hot showers and less frequent application of emollients strip the skin of its natural oils, making it more reactive to fabrics like wool.

To protect your skin during winter, dermatologists recommend wearing a soft cotton layer underneath woolen clothes, moisturizing immediately after bathing, avoiding very hot showers, and using mild detergents for washing clothes. These small changes can significantly reduce irritation.

If your skin symptoms persist despite these measures, it is important to consult a qualified dermatologist. Early assessment prevents complications and helps maintain healthy skin throughout the winter season.

SkinDot Clinics Islamabad provides expert dermatology and aesthetic care with evidence-based treatment plans tailored for seasonal skin concerns.

Hot Showers Can Damage Your Skin: Here’s What Dermatologists Recommend

Hot showers feel comforting, especially during winter in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. However, frequent exposure to very hot water can quietly damage your skin and worsen common skin problems.

Hot water strips away the skin’s natural oils that protect and hydrate it. This weakens the skin barrier, leading to dryness, itching, flakiness, redness, and sensitivity. People suffering from eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, acne, or dandruff often notice flare-ups after prolonged hot showers.

Another hidden issue is increased water loss from the skin, medically known as transepidermal water loss. When the protective barrier is damaged, skin becomes dehydrated, irritated, and more reactive to environmental factors. Hot water can also disrupt the skin’s natural pH and healthy bacteria, making the skin more vulnerable to infections and inflammation.

How To Shower Without Damaging Your Skin

Use lukewarm water instead of very hot water. Keep showers short, ideally 5 to 10 minutes. Choose gentle, pH-balanced cleansers rather than harsh soaps. After bathing, gently pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer immediately while the skin is still slightly damp. This helps lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier.

Small daily habits can make a big difference in maintaining healthy, comfortable skin.

At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, our dermatologists focus on practical skincare guidance along with advanced treatments tailored to your skin type and concerns.

Exosomes in Aesthetic Dermatology: Hype, Reality, or Just a Marketing Gimmick? By SkinDot Clinics Islamabad

 In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic dermatology, new treatments appear almost every season. Some redefine clinical practice, while others fade after a short-lived marketing surge. Recently, exosomes have taken center stage, promoted as a breakthrough for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. But are exosomes truly revolutionary, or are they another well-packaged marketing trend?

Let’s separate science from salesmanship.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles naturally released by cells. They act as biological messengers, carrying proteins, growth factors, lipids, and genetic material between cells. Their role in cell communication, tissue repair, and inflammation regulation is well documented in medical research.

In aesthetic medicine, exosomes are often described as “cell-free regenerative therapy,” a term that sounds impressive but is frequently misunderstood.

The Scientific Reality

Exosomes are real, and their biological function is legitimate. Early studies suggest they may help improve skin texture, support collagen production, reduce inflammation, and assist in post-procedure healing. In hair treatments, they may contribute to a healthier scalp environment.

However, it is important to understand that robust, large-scale human clinical trials in aesthetic dermatology are still limited. Much of the enthusiasm currently seen in clinics and advertisements is ahead of long-term scientific validation.

At SkinDot Clinics, we believe that promising science should be presented responsibly, without exaggeration.

Why the Hype Exists

Exosomes sit at the crossroads of regenerative medicine, stem cell research, and premium aesthetic treatments. This makes them highly attractive from a marketing perspective. Phrases like “cellular reversal,” “genetic repair,” and “next-generation anti-aging” are often used without sufficient scientific backing, leading to unrealistic patient expectations.

Innovation should excite clinicians, not mislead patients.

Are All Exosome Products the Same?

No—and this is a critical point.

There is currently no standardized global regulation for aesthetic exosome products. Sources, purification methods, concentrations, and biological activity vary widely. Some products labeled as exosomes may contain minimal active components, while others are essentially growth factor serums with branding advantages.

This lack of standardization explains why patient outcomes can be inconsistent.

Where Exosomes Actually Fit in Clinical Practice

When used ethically and appropriately, exosomes may be beneficial as:

An adjunct to procedures such as microneedling or laser treatments

A supportive option for reducing inflammation and enhancing recovery

A complementary therapy rather than a standalone solution

They are not a replacement for established, evidence-based treatments such as medical-grade skincare, lasers, injectables, PRP, or surgical interventions.

So, Hype or Gimmick?

The honest answer lies in the middle.

Exosomes are neither fake nor miraculous. They represent an emerging area of regenerative science with genuine potential, but one that is currently being oversold in aesthetic marketing. The science is evolving; the claims should evolve with it.

The SkinDot Clinics Perspective

At SkinDot Clinics Islamabad, every new treatment is evaluated through an evidence-based medical framework. We prioritize patient safety, scientific credibility, and transparent communication. Trends may come and go, but ethical dermatology remains constant.

www.skindotclinics.com

Final Thought

In dermatology, the most important question is not what is trending, but what is proven, safe, and suitable for each individual patient.

Exosomes may shape the future of aesthetics, but for now, they remain a supporting tool—not the headline act.
