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

Image
 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 ...

Common Dermatology And Aesthetic Questions — Answered By SkinDot Clinics Islamabad

Image
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 fractiona...

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

Image
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...

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

Image
  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, genet...

Fat Dissolving Injections FAQs SkinDot Clinics Islamabad

Image
 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 ...
