How to take care of different skin types?

Doctor's Answers 1

There are many different skin types. This includes:

  • normal
  • dry
  • oily
  • combination skin type.

Some people have very sensitive skin and how you manage your skin depends on a lot on your skin type. For example, if someone has very oily skin type, they are more likely to suffer from acne related problems because acne is associated with oily skin.

This is because the pores get clogged and this increases the risk of developing acne.

Individuals with sensitive or dry skin will have to be careful of the type of products you are using, as a lot of them may actually aggravate the skin, and cause a stinging sensation.

How many years can breast implants last in our body and what are the risks of having implants?

Thanks for your question. While modern breast implants are very durable and safe, it’s important to realise that they are not expected to last a lifetime. According to some studies, rupture rates are initially very low and begin to increase about 6-8 years after implantation. The chances of implants rupturing and leaking then gradually increases over time. Although rates do vary, you can expect that after 10 years, there is an approximately 10% chance of implant rupture and leakage occurring. This does vary with the type of implant used.

What causes a sudden dent on the nose tip after a nose threadlift procedure?

Hi there,Threads used in threadlifts are usually supposed to be placed in the subcutaneous layer (just below the skin layer). Dents in threadlifts are caused by a part of the threads engaging or “clutching” onto the skin layer, pulling it inwards, causing that part to have a “sucked in” effect. That is why you can see horror pictures online of patients having many dents on the face after a face threadlift by inexperienced doctors. Applying this theory to nose threads, any dent would usually be seen immediately during or after the threadlift.
