Beauty School: How To Get Movie Star Skin!
Dr. Shetty is a pioneer in non-surgical aesthetic medicine in India. Her patients come from all walks of life: corporate employees, home makers and movie stars. Her goal: create beauty while leaving the “evidence of creation” a mystery with ongoing product and technology evaluation and research at her clinic and Center for Excellence: Ra Skin and Aesthetics.
Glowing skin, perfect hair, heavenly body and luscious lips blowing kisses from the red carpet! Fully prepped for you to admire, for you to envy and for you to desire. A thousand flashbulbs go off… she smiles a million watt smile, she’s a movie star! Most among us mere mortals would never know of her relentless effort in the journey to perfection. The reality is a star is not just born, a star is made!
But behind all that glamour and high-wattage looks, lies the efforts of an entire industry striving to keep you looking your stunning and beautiful best, for as long as possible. They work far below what you can see. When you say the star has glowing skin, it is not just about skin itself; it goes much deeper all the way till the bone. That means the water holding gel beneath the skin surface, the collagen, the elastin, the fat in various pockets of the face and the muscle tone; all on a framework of bone and teeth. So the goal of a stunning face requires that each of these be taken care of, nourished and dealt with individually.
And then there’s the issue of those oh-so-perfect features. But hey, do you realize that they may not be so perfect on you? The famous Angelina Jolie lips or the Priyanka Chopra nose, let’s face it, look best with the rest of that particular face. Angelina’s lips for one, will only look good on an angular face (and with Brad Pitt on your arms!) It’s important to bring out the best of yourself instead of chasing a star nose, lips or any other feature in singularity.
So then what happens in each of the layers? And what looks good on my face? How do I go about all this and make sure I do not look like I am carrying two apples on my cheeks like some socialites do or that I don’t end up with the perennially “stunned look” or that frozen smile of party animals that some of us want to run away from. No, of course I’d prefer to look like a star while keeping the ‘preparation’ a mystery.
Simple questions like whether it should be botox or filler for my laugh line. Should I go for laser treatment? But what laser should I choose?
These are some of the issues we shall deal with as we go along. Don’t be confused any more. You ask the questions, We have the answers……at MissMalini’s, where else?
Post your question in the comments below for Dr. Rashmi Shetty to answer and she’ll do just that! xoxo

Any solution for ingrown hair that results in acne? I have sensitive skin that doesn’t even allow waxing since body hair growth will lead to pimples/acne.

Dear pinky, chubby face is a problem which makes you look bigger than you actually are. You are right. I need to know if it is the cheek as in front part of it or the portion below your ear as in jaw portion . The later is easy to treat , all it takes is a botox injection as it is not fat but hypertrophied muscle , but if it is cheek then you may need fat dissolving injections. Need to see your pic to give you the right solution.

Dear ash, that’s good that you know that really there is nothing that can be done specially if you have dark circle running in the family, in which case you have dark ring wide and all round your eye. If it is due to the shadow cause of deep under eye area, then we have a magical solution in filler, one sitting and you are fresh. Then of course there are the skin lightening creams like Kojic, melglow etc. try them

Dear kannu, I need to know more about your skin, but for starters pls use cold calamine lotion on your face , that ll get the red spots down, and for the oily skin pls try spongysal or cleanance face wash thrice a day. Take a supplement with vit A C E. also try vitamins C face masks. Cold water only to wash your face with.
All the best.

Dear supreta, acne scars till some time ago was a nightmare to deal with. Now we do have fantastic equipment to deal with it , a new one with a combination of micro needling and radio frequency is giving me the best results. You can also try the very old dermaroller. All you will need is 6 sitting on an average of any of the above.

Dear miss distressed,
Ingrown hair has only one solution, stop waxing and get on to shaving . get laser done for hair reduction as very thick hair is the main culprit for folliculitis and hot wax for Ingrowth.
