It’s no secret that we’ve been living in very strange, uncertain times. This is probably also a sentence you’ve heard on repeat over the last 2 years (yeah, I know, even we can’t believe it’s been that long already *sigh*), accompanied by the words “new normal”, “social distancing”, “wear your mask”, “sanitise your hands”, and lest we forget the most different one of them all, “wash your hands to the count of the song ‘happy birthday’.”

 

We all remember when it first happened — we’re talking about none other than “he who shall not be named”. Just kidding, maybe if we took Covid’s name enough, just maybe, even he’d get tired of it.

 

It’s something none of us could ever imagine happening in our lifetime. It’s something none of us had ever experienced or known before — the confusion and hope, all at the same time, that it would go away soon *cough*, the franticness with which we would pull out the sanitiser everytime anything made its way home from the outside, the looks of horror shot our way if we accidentally and innocently sneezed/coughed in public, and really just how surreal the whole thing was.

 

Ah, the nostalgia. This is not to live in denial and say that we’re past the difficulties. The pandemic is still very real and out there. But one thing has changed for sure. We’re all better prepared this time. 

 

And at every Kaya skin clinic, we want to make the “new normal” feel like the “old normal” where we free you of all your worries by making your safety, along with that of our staff, our first priority.

 

The entire staff at every Kaya skin clinic is 100% certified on all safety procedures and leave no stone unturned when it comes to implementing and adhering to these measures. 

 

Let’s walk you through some of the 60+ WHO compliant safety protocols we follow diligently at each Kaya skin clinic: 

 

 

Pre-Booked Appointments and Client Self-Declaration 

 

At Kaya, we would only accept pre-booked, limited number of appointments given the current scenario, until the situation improved. We also encourage our clients to fill up a self-declaration form that provides us with necessary information on their health status to ensure everybody’s safety.

 

Socially Distant Seating in Every Lounge

 

While you wait for your appointment, we’re mindful that this needs to be a comfortable and safe space too. All seating arrangements are placed at a safe distance as per social distancing norms.

 

Temperature Checks 

 

Temperature monitoring is a routine check that we conduct for both, our clients and staff, so as to avoid putting anyone at risk.

 

UVC Sanitisation 

 

Each and every skin clinic, each and every room within the clinic is sanitised thoroughly using UVC radiation which is highly effective as a disinfecting agent. Rooms are also sanitised before and after every individual session.

 

SITRA Certified PPE Kits for Staff 

 

Our staff is geared with SITRA certified PPE kits to bring you a contactless and safe experience.

 

Disposable Clothing for Clients 

 

For our clients, hygiene and safety is guaranteed by offering fresh, clean clothing during service that is disposed off right after treatment.

 

Digitised Billing and Payment 

 

Gone are the days when we relied more on cash. All clinics are mandated to make your bills and method of payment digital to make this a contactless and seamless experience as well.

 

 

If we promise you a luxury skin clinic and overall service, then we’re also promising you the best of Kaya safety. While we slowly move into the beginning of the end - and yes, we will get there - we will continue to work together in making that a reality sooner rather than later.

Love is a strong word. A difficult word. A confusing word. A word that’s easier said than done. 

 

But it is also a compassionate word. A joyful word. An exhilarating word. And above all, a word that brings people closer together. 

 

For as long as the existence of time, we have made it a point to make everyone else’s business, our business. It’s almost as if humans were gifted with the instinct to sense when someone is about to make a choice that brings them happiness, and then make it their mission to “put you on the right path” with their unsolicited opinions. Yeah, those aren’t welcome either. 

 

And the instance we most commonly see this happening with is the choices you make for your own body and what makes you feel beautiful. When an individual - be it across gender or sex - decides to undergo any kind of cosmetic treatment, the first reaction is to criticise and ridicule, without a second’s thought to what it means for the individual themselves. 

 

But this is a story about love. This is when love is easier said than done — when you know what it means to love yourself and what it means to feel beautiful in your own skin, but to have to fight that societal battle to stand your ground. 

 

Let’s not forget, though, we also did say that love is something that brings people closer together. It’s because of the same love that today we see a hopeful shift towards more inclusive beauty — where we slowly but steadily grow to appreciate and admire beauty in all its forms, in all its genders. 

 

The Kaya Life is your forever Cupid, not just on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, but every day. We are your partners in giving life to the thought that #BeautifulIsYou — both inside out. 

 

To work its magic on the inside, our special team of 100+ expert dermatologists and skin care specialists curate treatments from over 60+ luxury skin care products, having 18 years of understanding Indian skin unlike any other. 

 

And for the outside, Kaya skin care clinics have 600+ customised services to offer for your every need. 

 

We also understand that sometimes you may need some help to feel more like yourself through cosmetics that aren’t “natural” in its form — Botox and Fillers being some examples. But love is about acceptance in every form and we’re bringing to the forefront a few pampering skincare treatments and products for you to embrace without judgement. #MyLoveMyWay is the belief that will take you all the way!

 

Treatments for Young, Firm, and Glowing Skin: Profhilo, Botox, and Fillers

 

• Profhilo: Made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), these are injections that stimulate collagen production to build new cells and give you younger, firmer, and more hydrated skin
• Botox: A protein that stems from Botulinum toxin, Botox injections are used to visibly reduce signs of ageing such as wrinkles. The effects typically last 3-4 months 
• Fillers: Dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers are composed of a few compounds including Hyaluronic Acid to fill up areas of the skin to make them look more plump and reduce fine lines

 

Anti Aging Products to Reduce Signs of Ageing: RetinoBoost Serum and Antox Vit C Serum

 

• RetinoBoost: A combination of Retinol, Niacinamide, and Matrixyl 3000 to reverse early signs of aging. Retinoids help produce more collagen to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Matrixyl 3000 and Niacinamide work in similar ways and also help keep moisture intact. It’s a great over-the-counter face treatment for glowing skin
• Antox Vit-C Serum: One of Kaya's best sellers in skin serums, it is rich in the goodness of vitamin C that helps fight free radicals. These free-flowing molecules result in oxidative stress which can alter and cause damage to your skin cells. Oxidative stress can be a cause of prolonged exposure to the sun and its UV rays, which can make your skin age faster to develop fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant that can significantly protect against UV damage to keep your skin feeling fresh and youthful 

 

Treatment for Smooth, Hairless Skin: Laser Hair Removal

 

Laser hair removal or laser hair reduction works using heat from a laser light that destroys hair follicles under the skin. Destroying hair from its follicles ensures that hair grows back much slower and when it does, that it grows as fine as “baby hair” — as Cupid, you know we can really appreciate this one. The results are long-term to leave your skin feeling smooth perpetually.

 

Of all the kinds of love, self love is the most powerful. Self love is unabashedly selfish and we love self love! It’s when you start to take care of yourself and glow on the inside that it automatically shines on the outside. It’s when others start to see your light and soak it in to appreciate you for your true self. So, be selfish and love yourself for a change. Because to love yourself in your skin is is to mean that #BeautifulIsYou. 

 

And if you ever need Cupid, we’re just a click away. Book an appointment online here to treat yourself with the best self-care beauty products and skincare treatments. #MyLoveMyWay is your mantra today and everyday!

“Laser hair removal”. A term you’ve probably heard time and again, and wondered if this is just another one of those things you’re supposed to do now because everyone else is doing it. 

 

Kind of like being around couples all the time (we see you, Instagram, with all those wedding pictures and stories). So, you most likely jump into something “casual” just to feel like you fit in. The treatment of laser hair removal, though, is anything but casual dating. Hear us out, we’re getting to the point. The case in point here being that just like the concept of dating, we have no choice but to evolve and advance with the times. 

 

Today, dating is much more progressive. You can choose your partner, or you can have your partner chosen for you, or you can simply choose yourself - no, really, only recently there was news of a woman who chose to marry herself. It’s no longer “one size fits all”. It offers something for everyone.

 

Similarly, there was a time when laser hair removal was only recommended for people with dark hair and light skin because of safety reasons, but that’s old news now. It can start off casual, possibly head towards a live-in relationship, and finally culminate into a long-term commitment. Or you could choose not to commit at all. The beauty of it is that it’s only for you to decide.

 

But while we’re at it, we will say that this can be the partner you choose - a worry-free and safe treatment to give you a life (almost) free from all unwanted and troubling hair growth. 

 

The only way to know for sure is to experience it.

 

As for all those questions you have? Let’s get them out of your hair (literally too, if you like).

 

Do I Really Know Them?

 

We understand no one can really get involved in something without having a background on the matter. So, what is laser hair removal exactly? 

 

A laser machine resembles the shape of a “gun”. The tip of the gun is a flat surface that is massaged around the targeted parts of the skin. This gun emits a laser light, and the heat from the light reaches your hair follicles, under the skin, to destroy it. Destroying the hair follicle prevents hair from growing again, or in most cases, it grows back much slower, weaker, and finer. The procedure is often also called “laser hair reduction” for this reason.

 

Should I Keep it Unofficial First or Go Right Into it?

 

When starting a new relationship, there are always apprehensions on whether you should take it slow or jump right in because “what if it’s not for me”? 

 

If it’s your first time with laser hair removal/laser hair reduction, it’s always advisable to first consult your physician so they can better understand your hair growth. Once you do this, you are always free to ask for a trial session to begin with. If you feel like this is something for you and it’s suiting your skin, you can go ahead and see it through for the longer run.

 

At Kaya too, our in-house experts closely assess treatments for every individual and recommend sessions accordingly.

 

“I Don’t Want to Get Hurt”

 

Nobody wants to be hurt by something they put their trust in. Laser hair removal treatment is usually painless. At the most, it feels like little pricks. Although areas with more dense skin hurt much less, in areas with more sensitive skin such as the underarms or bikini area, there is a possibility you will feel the effects of the laser slightly more. However, experts are sure to use soothing or numbing gel first, before running the laser over your skin. Both, the client as well as the expert are also required to wear protective eye gear.

 

You can trust that you will be in the best hands with our professionals across all Kaya clinics. 

 

Laser hair removal side effects are only minimal with possible redness, swelling or discomfort. However, this is usually temporary and most people carry on with their regular lives right after. 

 

In case of more severe side effects, consult your doctor.

 

How Much Work Will this Relationship Take?

 

It might seem like a lot of effort at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty smooth sailing from there. Typically, a person is recommended about 6-7 sessions, with one session a month. 

 

The time for each session varies too - for example, the bigger the body part such as legs or arms, the longer it takes. You can even break up your sessions into smaller body parts, so you don’t have to sit for too long at once. 

 

Now, just as every relationship is unique, so is the case from person to person with permanent hair removal. Depending on the type of hair growth, some people may require fewer or more sessions than others to see longer lasting results.

 

Is the Commitment Worth it?

 

We can vouch for this one. Permanent hair removal is a short term investment for long term benefits.

 

It’s always a two-way street to make something work, though. It’s important that you look after your skin post-treatment. It’s best to speak to your dermatologist but general care involves avoiding direct sunlight on treated areas, and tending to sensitive skin. You can consider the Kaya Daily Moisturising Sunscreen or Kaya Tea Tree And Honey Purifying Body Wash for post care. Tea Tree and Honey are both highly effective ingredients to soothe the skin.

 

Laser hair removal benefits include: 

 

• Delayed hair growth 
• Finer, smoother, weaker hair minimising its appearance 
• Lesser growth 
• No hassle of continuous waxing, shaving is much quicker and only when needed 

 

If we may say so, body hair is kind of like your husband. You get pretty used to having it around but it’s only when you get time off that you embrace the freedom. And when you do get together again, it’s a much smoother experience.

 

Is this Going to be My “Forever”?

 

Now, for the big question: “Will they stay?” 

 

The procedure is permanent hair removal in that it is actually permanent hair “reduction”. While, for some skin types, it may work as well as halting hair growth altogether, for others, it will permanently slow it down and give you finer, almost baby-like hair growth. 

 

In conclusion, yes, the benefits are here to stay forever.

 

Consider this a long love letter professing why we feel you should give us your hand in “becoming more than friends”. You just have to take that leap of faith and we’ll be on the other side waiting for you. 

 

So, is that a “yes” to our proposal?

You know, the funny thing about the holidays is that it tingles you with a weird sense of nostalgia and cheerful spirit, but it can also be accompanied by a feeling of being overwhelmed.  The truth is there’s planning, and then there’s pre-planning for the plan. Now, your plan would probably include buying presents for your loved ones, a special outfit for New Year’s, supplies for that house party you’re about to throw for your friends, who let’s be honest, are in all likelihood going to turn a blind eye to noticing the cute little star-studded vase you swapped for an old one that originally had a cat print on it. It’s all for the big day.  But your pre-planning starts much ahead of time. And it all starts right inside your mind. The little things like saving pictures of decor and outfit inspirations, figuring if you want to go big or keep it small this time around, and as is almost always the case — wondering how in the world you’re going to get your skin to glow in so little time. You probably might even set up a calendar schedule to align everything.  While we can’t promise that your friends are going to notice your new vase this year, we can promise to help make your skin glow just in time for the New Year!  Here are some skin and body treatments that are a must try ahead of the big day:

Party Peels

Party peel treatment is a type of chemical peel for the face that is typically done keeping in mind a reduced recovery time before an event.  Party peels are usually milder, which means post-treatment scarring or redness is minimal, and its effects may last for a shorter period of time, as compared to more intense chemical peels. However, this is precisely the job they are meant to do —  get you party-ready in just one sitting.  Party peels work almost as an exfoliating mask that is applied on the face to get rid of dead skin cells on the surface to leave your skin soft, glowing, and rejuvenated. 

Vampire Facials

A vampire facial, sometimes also known as a “vampire facelift” or “PRP facial”,  might sound intimidating but it does come with its benefits.  How it works is through the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) that is found in one’s blood. In this procedure, blood is drawn from the person opting for the treatment. The blood is then put through a centrifuge machine which separates the PRPs from it, which once exposed to air, start generating individual growth hormones of their own. The platelets are then injected back into the necessary areas of the body/face through PRP facial injections to work their magic.  The benefits of a vampire facial are many — increased collagen production to regenerate skin cells, improved skin tone, texture, visibly reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of ageing to give you younger and smoother looking skin.

Laser Hair Removal

Nobody wants to deal with constant visits to the parlour where your parlour lady never fails to remind you how much your hair has grown since you last saw her.  Laser hair removal, also known as laser hair reduction, is a long-term fix to rid you of all unwanted hair woes (and your parlour lady’s innocent taunts).  This treatment works using heat from a laser light that destroys hair follicles under the skin. Destroying hair from its follicles ensures that hair grows back much slower and when it does, that it grows as fine as “baby hair”.

Glow-Up At Home 

If all of this seems like it requires too much of your time that hasn’t found its way into your calendar, you can always opt for quick, at-home treatments.

• Kaya’s Blueberry and Vitamin C Peel Off Mask comes with Blueberry that contains antioxidant properties to do away with dead skin cells and brighten your skin, along with the benefits of Vitamin C that helps even out skin tone to leave you glowing. 
• Kaya Charcoal & Tea Tree Mattifying Peel-Off Mask is packed with activated charcoal and tea tree oil that rids your pores of excessive oil and deep cleans them, giving your skin a fresh, matte feel. It also works as an effective preventive mask to fight off acne.

Whatever your preference, at Kaya’s clinics, we offer safe, personalised treatment for every skin type, and our in-house expert dermatologists are here to give life to your resolutions by gifting you with the glowing skin you desire this festive season! Book an appointment today.

You may be a spontaneous person who loves making impromptu plans. A sudden trip to the beach or spontaneous plans for brunch where you want to take stunning pictures in that new dress - sounds like a fantastic way to live life to the fullest. But your body hair may not be as spontaneous as you. So, while you are plucking, waxing, and shaving, that laser hair removal that you have heard so much about pops in your head. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be at your best anytime, any day?  

The biggest question that surrounds this procedure is - is laser hair removal permanent?  

Let’s find out!  

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a procedure wherein a concentrated beam of light is used to remove unwanted hair from a chosen body part. The concentrated light is converted to heat, which, in essence, damages the hair follicles in the skin. Laser hair reduction is safe for all skin types and body parts. Some common body parts people prefer to do the procedure on are: armpits, bikini area, upper lip, chin, and legs. You can also get laser hair reduction done for full body.  

Once you decide to get a laser hair reduction, make sure to consult a dermatologist and get this procedure done under dermat expertise. At Kaya, the dermatologists assess the hair growth and recommend a customized solution to the client. Three important steps are followed, personalization, customization and expertise for every individual. Certified laser therapists will go through a process of understanding your skin type and hair growth. Before planning the personalized service, they will test the laser hair reduction on a small part of the skin to be sure of the service required.    

The experience of laser hair removal

Many people are often hesitant to get a permanent hair removal procedure done on their body. The minute they hear laser, they wonder about the pain levels. With advances in laser technologies, this procedure is pain-free, hassle-free and you will notice 90% less hair growth after 6-8 sessions.  For those with thicker hair, the dermatologist may recommend a higher number of sessions. Laser hair reduction gradually reduces your hair giving you long-lasting and a smooth skin. A salon service required frequent visit and gives short-term results. Conventional methods of hair removal such as waxing and shaving often lead to razor cuts or hot wax burns. With laser hair reduction, you will not experience burns, or ingrown hair and it protects your skin against pigmentation. Smaller areas like the upper lip take less time, and denser areas like your arms or legs may take a long while. For sensitive areas like your bikini line, technicians generally use an an aesthetic cream to numb the area to perform the procedure.  

Kaya uses US FDA approved Nd:Yag technology, because it is the best option for Indian skin and absolutely safe. These are considered to be gold standard treatments for laser hair reduction. Furthermore, at Kaya, you will be in the hands of expert dermatologists who ensure that your experience with laser hair reduction is safe and sound. The treatment will be performed by an expert Kaya technician and supervised by a dermatologist. The dermatologists often prepare the patient with ice before and after the actual laser treatment. The dermatologist They also stop whenever they think the patient needs a break. After the session, people generally experience some redness which disappears over the rest of the day.  

 

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Yes, and sometimes, no. But it comes very close. ‘Permanent’ hair removal is often a misnomer. Hair from the destroyed follicle will not grow back. That is, of course, permanent. If the follicle is only damaged and not fully destroyed, the hair may grow back. However, the hair will not have the strength or the colour it once had. The hair that grows back is often very fine and weak. With additional maintenance sessions, hair removal can be permanent.  

Hormonal issues can also cause some of the hair to regrow. Many women see patches of regrowth once they have a baby. These instances of regrowth can be combated with follow-up sessions.  

What influences the permanency of laser hair removal sessions?

  There are a couple of factors that influence the longevity of the hair removal procedure:  

• The skill of the technician.
• Type of hair.
• Strength of follicle.
• Hormonal imbalances.

 

Is laser hair removal the right choice for you?

Laser hair removal is quite common these days with many people opting to do their entire body at one go. With improving technology, people now require fewer, less painful sessions to completely eradicate the hair from the chosen body part. It is a more convenient and cost-effective option when compared to waxing. It is most often, a one-time investment as opposed to visiting your local salon once a month, at the very least.  

At Kaya, strict practices are followed when it comes to hygiene, to ensure that our customers get the best possible experience. Especially, in today’s time safety is of utmost importance and Kaya ensures contactless service with our experts wearing PPE kits to ensure safety of both, the clients and the skin care experts.

Here are the 8 rules for a healthy set of hair.

Just as beauty is a woman's glory, a crown full of hair is a man’s charming appeal. But this allurant part of your body faces a major threat of baldness by snags like heredity and hormones. This is how heredity and hormones can lead your hair onto the path of baldness and hair thinning.

How Does Heredity Affect Hair Loss?

If  you love running your hands through your hair, know that heredity will soon be ravaging your hair. Male pattern Baldness is a type of hair loss that heredity bestows upon you. This condition is generally inherited from the maternal line. Male pattern baldness comes with hair loss from the temples and the crown of your head, forming a ‘M’ shaped hairline. This ailment compresses your hair follicles, making your hair thin which stops hair growth in due course.

How Do Hormones Affect Hair Loss?

Hormonal hair loss is always associated with women but it is one of the major reasons for hair loss is men as well. DHT, also known as dihydrotestosterone, is a hormone that targets hair and causes hair loss in men. This androgen hormone, released at the bottom of hair follicles covers the cells at the root.This causes the follicles to shrink, eventually leading to thinning of hair strands and stunting hair growth. DHT is a major factor that participates in male pattern baldness as well.

Is There  A Solution To Reduce Hair Loss?

If you’ve been looking for a way to deal with hair loss as well as to perk up your man mane, Kaya offers the best of both worlds. The dermatologists at Kaya have developed the Kaya Hair Restore Expert Transplant Solutions, a new holistic system to make an impact on hair roots. Hair Transplant at Kaya is a procedure in which hair follicles form the donor area (back of the head which is unaffected by hair issues) are transplanted to the balding area called recipient area. As hair from the donor area is resistant to male pattern baldness, it continues to grow for a lifetime. This treatment is carried out under local anesthesia. A wait of 8-10 months after this treatment follows-up with ever-growing healthy hair.

Don’t let heredity and hormones rule over your crowning glory. Book an appointment at Kaya today!

Are your afraid to trust hair transplants? Here’s how effective hair transplants are.

If you’ve been dying to experiment with a new hair product, maybe you should reconsider this decision! Constant experimentation is a calling card for multiple hair concerns. Here’s how trying out new products can harm your hair.

Effects Of Experimentation On Your Hair

Flaky Scalp

Overdoing various product trials on your hair makes the scalp dry and flaky, ultimately causing dandruff. Some hair products are low or even zero in moisturization which adds up to the dryness of your scalp. Such products can turn out to be the cause of a white build up on your scalp resulting in dandruff. If you’re already a victim of  such a damaged scalp, the Kaya Anti-Dandruff Lotion is your saving grace. This overnight lotion is formulated to soothe an itchy and irritated scalp and to effectively control the formation of dandruff.

Hair Breakage

Trial and error may be a good option but not when it comes to your hair. Constantly experimenting with new hair products makes your hair brittle and prone to breakage. Sometimes, hair products contain a high amount of protein which is also a cause for hair breakage. The Kaya Root Regen Hair Protect Serum is developed using the complex of sugarcane, lemon, basil and apple extract which is known to reduce hair fall and breakage. This easy absorbing serum improves hair strength by nourishing hair fibre.

Dry Hair

Trying out new hair products comes with the risk of dryness. This happens majorly due to the acids that these hair products contain. These acids act as cleansing agents but while at work, they take away all the moisture from your hair, making it dry.

Not understanding how to take care of your hair? Here’s an easy hair routine for you to follow.

Is your hair stressed and tired due to the daily travel struggle? We know that your busy schedule forbids you from pampering your hair which compels you to keep all hair pampering sessions for the weekends and holidays. But why wait for a holiday when there is an on the go solution to all your hair problems! Here are some hair essentials that will not just solve your hair concerns on the go but will slide down easily into your handbags!

The Must Have Hair Essentials For Your Bag

Hair Serum

Your hair is dying a slow death in this polluted city! The harsh sun and contaminants in the air, both come together to bother your hair, making it prone to hair fall and breakage. A hair serum works wonders on your hair and protects it from such an environmental frenzy. The Kaya Root Regen Hair Protect Serum is a light and easy absorbing serum enriched with basil, sugarcane, lemon and apple extracts which are known to reduce breakage and hair fall. This serum strengthens and restructures the hair fibres and protects your hair from external hair damage.

Comb

You cannot afford to forget your comb as travelling hours are bound to mess up your hair! The daily commotion damages your hair and makes it knotty and frizzy. If not combed on time, these knots can cause breakage. Combing your hair during travel hours is the best way to tame your unruly mane. But remember to not over comb your hair as that can fuel the existing damage. Also, make sure you have a wide toothed wooden comb since it is much gentler for untangling knots in your hair.

Head Scarf

It’s a danger warning if you have been travelling without a head scarf! The sun sits right above you, ready to harm your hair in a million ways. It dries your hair, triggers the release of excess sebum and does so much more! But what should concern you the most is that a prolonged exposure to sun rays affects the melanin production which makes your hair lose its colour. A head scarf protects your hair from all the sunny wear and tear. It also helps in covering your hair during windy days, keeping frizz at bay!

Is travelling exhausting your skin? Here are the 5 skincare essentials that you must have in your purse.

Pregnancy is a life changing event that alters your body in so many ways, be it physically or emotionally. But with pregnancy come so many health problems, one of them being hair fall.  Although this shedding of hair is temporary, it can have a negative impact on your hair growth in the long run.

Here’s how pregnancy and menopause affects your hair.

How Does Pregnancy And Menopause Affect Hair?

Pregnancy And Hair fall

Hair fall during pregnancy has many causes, a major one of them being hormonal imbalance. Normally, 90% of our hair grow while the remaining 10% go into the resting phase. During pregnancy, the secretion of the hormone 'progesterone’ increases which stops hair fall. This makes your hair appear voluminous. But as soon as your hormones get back on track, this effect vanishes, leading to excessive hair fall. Such hair fall can mostly be witnessed during the first 2-3 months after delivery. Another reason for hair fall during pregnancy is the lack of nutrients.If you’ve been consuming an improper diet, a deficiency of iron and protein can make your hair strands fall off.

Menopause And Hair Fall

Just like pregnancy, hair starts falling even during menopause. Those going through this phase experience extreme hormonal upheavals. During this period, the secretion of  two important hormones; progesterone and estrogen decreases. This increases the shedding of hair. While the level of these hormones goes down, the body starts releasing excess amount of androgens. These hormones block the hair follicles, causing hair fall and hair thinning.

Is There A Way To Treat This Hair Fall?

We know, hair fall has troubled you alot! It’s time to stop it right there! Kaya offers a range of hair fall treatments which act on all spectrums of your hair. The dermatologists at Kaya examine your hair and recommend a step by step plan. Once the treatment is carried out, follow ups are also arranged to keep your results and progress in check.

This is how heredity and hormones can affect your hair.

For men, hair loss is a major nuisance that causes a lack of self-confidence. If you’ve been scanning the world wide web for new hacks to hide your receding hairline which are barely of any use, stop your search right there! We’ve brought for you, the panacea to solve your hair loss issue.

Not-So-Useful Hacks To Hide A Receding Hairline

Getting Short Haircuts

Cutting your hair short or getting a pushed back hairdo is not going to improve your hairline, rather worsen the condition of your hair. If you’ve got a receding hairline, hair loss is likely to spread across your crown, giving rise to excessive baldness. It is essential to get to the root of the problem instead of just trimming your hair short to avoid your receding hairline from coming into the spotlight.

Using Styling Products

If your just bought styling product assures to volumize your hair, it is just for the time being. Products like volumizing gels, wax and creams may eventually lose their effect, leaving you in the same bald state which might now be hiked up. These styling products also include harsh ingredients that are the culprits in intensifying your hair loss.

Growing A Beard

Are you pampering your beard and growing it as a cover-up for your receding hairline? That’s a really creative hack which won’t work AT ALL. Masking your dwindling hairline with a beard means ignoring your baldness. Such ignorance can be fatal to your hair. Moreover, a beard will grab more eyeballs that will eventually focus on your receding hairline.

Best Way To Get Rid Of A Receding Hairline?

Now that we have scraped off all your fruitless hacks, here’s the best way to gain a hairful hairline. The Kaya Hair Restore Expert Transplant Solutions is designed by the expert dermatologists at Kaya to make a holistic impact on your hair roots. This treatment focuses on transplanting hair follicles from the donor area to the affected area under the effect of a local anesthesia.

Have you been coming across mind-boggling dandruff myth now that you have noticed white flakes on your scalp? If so, don’t fall for them! These myths will do nothing but make your dandruff problem worse! Here are some common dandruff myths that you must dump right away!

Dandruff Myths v/s Reality

Myth 1: Dandruff Is Contagious

Remember that time in school when you kept yourself at a safer distance from anyone spotted with dandruff, thinking it was contagious. Well, it’s been a long time that you’ve been believing this myth! Although dandruff may give you that scary vibe, it is nowhere close to contagious or infectious. So you can take the thought of getting a flaky scalp from your friend off your mind. However, with that being said, you must work towards getting rid of dandruff as soon as possible as it can be a troublesome menace to deal with.

Myth 2: Dandruff Is Caused Only In The Winter

We’ve seen people freaking out during the winter, taking extra precautions to stay away from dandruff. But what if we tell you that this condition can visit your scalp at any point of time? That’s true! A dry and freezing weather is not the only thing responsible to cause dandruff. Excess release of oil is another reason responsible for dandruff which can welcome flakes on your scalp at any time of the year.

Myth 3: Dandruff Is Hereditary

If you’ve been thinking that your scalp lies in the safe zone as your family doesn’t have dandruff troubles then your wrong! Although people believe that dandruff is a hereditary trait, this peril can pay a visit to anyone, any time!

Myth 4: Dandruff Causes A Dry And Itchy Scalp

Dandruff is always mentioned in correlation to a dry and itchy scalp. But there are plenty of other reasons that account for a dry and itchy scalp. Excessive use of styling products or reaction to certain hair products can also make your scalp dry. Certain scalp conditions can be responsible for causing itchiness as well.

Myth 5: Any Shampoo Can Help Get Rid Of Dandruff

Are you the one who keeps switching between shampoos hoping that at least one of them will be the right pick? If so, then halt your search! Although it is true that certain shampoos can help you bid goodbye to dandruff, anti-dandruff shampoos are the only ones that can do justice to dandruff removal.  Anti-dandruff shampoos are specially formulated to help you eliminate dandruff from your scalp. The shampoo that you need to put an end to dandruff is the Kaya Gentle Purifying Shampoo. Along with removing dandruff, this shampoo reduces itchiness and stops the formation of new dandruff. Enriched with marine algae extracts, it rebalances the moisture on your scalp and leaves your hair soft and flake free.

Don’t let the fluctuating weather pattern take a toll over your hair. Here are some quick and easy tips to keep your hair healthy this season.

Are you experiencing excessive hair loss and witnessing a fast receding hairline? We’re sure that these issues can make anyone feel extremely conscious about themselves, making them look much older than their age. In such a case, opting for a hair transplant is the best solution to solve the problem of baldness. If you’re hesitant about the result that hair transplant offers, let us tell you that the results are totally natural looking. Read on to find out how hair transplants deliver natural looking results and thereby help you in regaining your confidence.

The Kaya Approach

At Kaya, we do Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) which is an advanced method of hair transplantation that ensures natural looking results. In this method of hair transplant, follicles are extracted from the healthy hair bearing area which is referred to as the ‘donor area’ and transplanted on to the affected, balding area. This method uses hair follicles from the back and sides of the head. This is because the hair on the sides and back of your head is not affected by hair loss and the hormones that cause hair loss.

These follicles take on the mannerisms of the healthy donor hair and then start growing as your natural hair would over a period of time. FUE is a minimally invasive method which is non-surgical and hence there are no visible scars, stitches or other signs of a hair transplant, thus giving you completely natural looking, healthy hair!

The Kaya Solution

At Kaya the Hair Transplants are performed by expert Dermatosurgeons who have performed more than 2000 successful hair transplants. Kaya also combines solutions like Natural Hair Rejuvenation by Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and Hair Nutri Infusion Therapy along with its Hair Transplants to give holistic solutions that ensure healthy growth of the transplanted follicles.

With the best in class medical infrastructure and highly skilled doctors, Kaya should be your natural first choice if you’re looking for solutions to hair loss. Hair Transplants is a day’s investment in a lifetime of returns.

When you experience significant hair loss in a short span of time, it is definitely a cause of worry. Baldness can be of various kinds. Baldness also called as alopecia is caused by a lot of reasons too. The most common type of baldness in men is Male Pattern Baldness that starts from the hair line along the forehead to the sides of the temples. This M-Shaped baldness pattern is caused because of genetic factors. Females usually see a Female Pattern Baldness which is a diffused shedding of hair throughout the scalp and specifically along the line of hair parting. 

Reasons For Baldness

Alopecia is the medical term for loss of hair and has 3 main types. Androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness is caused by action of androgenic hormones on hair follicles. Alopecia areata or spot baldness occurs with coin sized areas of hair loss and is caused when our body’s immune system attacks its own hair follicles and stops it from growing further. Telogen Effluvium or female pattern baldness is a diffused shedding in hair that happens all over the scalp and starts in the resting phase of hair growth leading to shedding of hair after 2-3 months.

Kaya For Your Needs

Maximum of hair loss seen in men is either genetic or because of action of hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone shrinks the size of the hair follicle and damages it irreversibly. Women oftentimes experience diffused hair loss throughout their scalp as they age. An aging scalp has direct effects on the health of the hair follicles. The damaged hair follicles cannot produce any hair so Kaya’s Hair Restore Expert Transplant Solutions helps in growing hair back in the bald areas.

As each hair strand is individually transplanted, this procedure shows greater precision and better results. The results will be a growth of natural looking hair that is voluminous and strong. Hence, this procedure is one of the best hair transplant options.

Are you noticing too many hair strands on your comb these days? There are numerous causes of hair loss and baldness. It can be hereditary, hormonal, stress-related, due to poor diet and sleep, lifestyle or pollution. When the balding area increases in size, and the hair follicles get damaged, there is no hair growth possible from the said area. While baldness is a common phenomenon in men, it is not rare in women. Women too can experience diffused hair loss throughout their scalp as they age. Hair transplant procedure should be considered in such cases. So read on to know how does hair transplant work.
