Question 1

I'm dealing with mild acne and my dermatologist put me on a sebamed facewash and nioret nanogel for nighttime use. He also recommended the ansolar gel cream sunscreen, but it's quite pricey. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable sunscreen option that will work well with the nioret nanogel I'm using. Could you please advise?

Accepted Answer

For a cheaper alternative to Ansolar Gel Cream, consider:

1. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen ( 500)
2. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ( 1,200)
3. Cetaphil Sun SPF 50+ ( 800)

When choosing a sunscreen to use with Nioret Nanogel:

1. Opt for a non-comedogenic (oil-free) sunscreen.
2. Select a physical sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) for gentle, effective protection.
3. Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free to minimize irritation.

Consult your dermatologist before making any changes to your skincare routine.

Question 2

I'm curious about the EXCIMER 308 LASER treatment and was wondering about a few things. How much does this treatment generally cost? Is it known to provide a permanent solution? Also, where can I get this done in Delhi? I'm hoping to see a visible reduction in marks and pigmentation, so how long might that take?

Accepted Answer

The approximate cost of EXCIMER 308 LASER treatment can vary depending on the clinic and the area being treated, but it typically ranges from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 8000 per session. EXCIMER 308 LASER treatment can provide long-lasting results, but it may not always be a permanent cure. To get it done in Delhi, you can visit reputable dermatology clinics or hospitals such as AIIMS, Apollo Hospitals, or Fortis Hospitals. The time it takes to visibly reduce marks and pigmentation varies from person to person, but you may start seeing results after 4-6 sessions, with full results typically visible after 8-10 sessions.

Question 3

I've been using adapero mixed with nioclean for my pimples and scars, and it was working so well at first, my scars were actually fading. But then I found out I shouldn't be in the sun too much while using these. I spent a day at the beach, and now the areas where my skin was healing look really dark, almost black where the pimples and scars were. What can I do to fix this? Will the dark spots eventually fade away?

Accepted Answer

The post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by sun exposure while using adapalene and niacinamide may fade over time with consistent sun protection, topical treatments, and patience, but consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance and treatment.

I've been noticing these black spots appearing on my face and I'm really unsure about how to get rid of them. Could you offer some advice on what I should do?
