With technology improving at the pace of lightening, it is but natural that every sphere of life will become tech-reliant. The field of dermato-trichology has also witnessed big changes. In fact, in 2021, there are far more skin and hair treatments available for the purpose of beautification and rehabilitation, than ever before. But the question begs to be answered—which are the most effective and best?
Oliva is a medico-aesthetic clinic brand rated No.1 in the sphere of Dermatology and Trichology. Claiming the largest team of dermatologists in the country, and with a focus on scientifically-backed treatments that have given them a successful track record, they are probably the best-placed organisation to answer this question.
“We bring you the aesthetics of beauty and the science of medical knowledge as a single unified service. Each consultation at Oliva is conducted by expert doctors who start with a skin analysis and take stock of overall medical conditions before charting out a treatment plan, exclusive to the client. Our carefully balanced combination of aesthetic and clinical approaches—from a simple skin peel to a more advanced medical procedure—suits a variety of skin and body needs. Our holistic approach provides the best that science has to offer. Oliva is, by far, the most comprehensive medico-aesthetic clinic that you can choose,” explains the founder, Dr Soma Prashant.
Having studied medicine at Andhra Medical College, Vizag, he pursued his M.D. in Manipal and then did a Fellowship in Lasers at the National Skin Centre in Singapore. He eventually chose the field of dermatology with the far-sighted vision that lasers would be game-changers in this field. His approach focuses on leveraging ad¬vances in medicine to make people look more beautiful and youthful. Oliva has ad¬vanced facilities with qualified dermatologists and trichologists, skin and hair thera¬pists, and advanced equipment that bring the best of what aesthetic medicine has to offer. They are currently operational in seven major cities of India—Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Vizag, Kolkata and Pune. Oliva has continuously enjoyed a whopping 91% rating on the satisfaction scale with a loyal base of more than 3,00,000 happy customers.
Some of their most popular services include their Non-Surgical Weight Management Solution; Laser Treatment for Body Hair Removal; Skin Rejuvenation Treatments such as Skin Lightening, Pigmentation Removal, Dull Skin Treatments and Signature Facials. They also have acne and scar removal treatments; Non-Surgical Body Contouring Treatments; Inch Loss Treatments; Dermal Fillers; Skin Tightening; Anti-Ageing; Permanent Tattoo Removal; Mole Removal; Stretch Mark Treatments and Wart Removals.
A particularly popular treatment is the one for battling hair loss. The focus is on identifying the underlying cause of hair loss and customising the treatment plan accordingly. A few diagnostic tests may be prescribed to assess the client’s nutritional status after physically examining their hair and scalp condition and noting their medical records and family history of balding. Oral medications may be suggested such as nutritional supplements or injections to correct an underlying deficiency.
“We may advise you to use topical applications like peptide-based serums to strengthen hair roots and follow a customised hair-care regimen. We may recommend the above as standalone or combination treatments depending on the cause and severity of your hair loss. Above all, we offer extensive post-care support and counsel our clients to reassure them that they may expect a reduction in hair fall within the first two months of treatment and that the hair loss condition may subside within three to four months. This helps prevent the vicious cycle of stress-induced hair fall,” explains Dr Prashant.
Though Oliva has a fairly widespread reach around certain parts of the country, the brand constantly strives to reach out to people living in remote parts. Especially after Covid-19, there has been a record number of dermatological concerns as a side-effect of the dreadful infection, which is what Oliva hopes to resolve.
Residents of Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune, Vizag, and Kochi can visit their nearest Oliva clinic to seek expert advice from experienced dermato-trichologists. People living in other parts of the country can connect with their experienced medical team via e-consultation to seek customised treatments and world-class care.
