Transforming lives
Just a couple of months back, Thane got its own world class one stop clinic for all the skin and hair related treatments. Now the people of the city will no longer be required to travel hours for availing the best beauty treatment. Started by Dr. Snehal Pawar Badwaik, M.D in skin diseases and cosmetology, Dr. Snehal’s clinic for skin, hair and aesthetics is located in the heart of the city and is fully equipped with state of the art infrastructure and advanced technology. Before starting her own practice, Dr. Snehal was associated with Sion Hospital for a couple of months and after that she worked as an assistant to Dr. Jyotsna Deo for two years.
“Right from my childhood I was always fascinated by the human body and the way it functions. I remember insisting my parents to take me to a hospital whenever I had even a modicum of illness. I also used to visit the clinics of my grandfather’s friends and watch how the injections were being given and many other hospital related things. Since I had a keen interest in medicine, I decided to become a doctor. The reason I opted to become a dermatologist was that I myself had a lot of skin issues while growing up, be it acne or black patches due to stress. These things affected me badly. When I had acne issues I did not feel like going out. At that time, I realized that there could be many other people just like me who go through such situations. So I thought that if I become a dermatologist I will be able to help people and change their lives for the better,” Dr. Snehal avers. She adds, “There is no doubt that there is a dent in the people’s confidence if something is not right with their skin or hair. That is why we believe in our tagline ‘glowing skin to growing confidence’.”
Dr. Snehal, a first generation doctor has a detailed eye for natural beauty enhancements through lasers, cosmetic treatments, medicines and nutrition. She firmly believes in giving personal attention to each and every client visiting her clinic. At Dr. Snehal’s clinic, which is an US approved best technology clinic for skin, hair and body treatments, there is an avalanche of treatments on offer. She states, “We have hair fall treatments, acne scar treatment, tattoo removal, skin pigmentation treatment, detanning, treatments to resolve ageing related issues, medifacials, dermapen4, to name a few. We make use of the best technology and import machines from South Korea, Israel and Australia. Our machines are exclusive and have the reputation of not causing any side effect.”
Dr. Snehal, who has sought training from Galen Institute of Berlin, Germany for skin allergies and eczema is also a certified nutritionist. She offers tips about food and lifestyle. She says, “Having a glass of warm water and lemon juice mixed in it everyday in the morning can do a world of good to your skin. The vitamin C in lemon helps in maintaining skin health. Add a dash of ginger to it and that will help you in weight loss. With respect to your meals, follow the rule of 1921. We have 21 meals in a week. In order to ensure a healthy skin, try to have atleast 19 meals at home and the remaining two you can indulge in outside food. In addition to having a proper diet, it is important to have a regular exercise routine. Walking for 20 to 25 minutes is good practice. Also it is necessary to note that over exercising can lead to release of cortisol hormone, which is a kind of stress hormone and is not good for your overall scheme of skin health. Apart from your diet and exercise, I would recommend applying sunscreen to your exposed body parts.” She further adds, “Sleep forms the basis of everything. It is essential that you sleep in time. Our body releases a hormone called melatonin between 11m to 3am. If you are not asleep during that time, the body will not release that hormone. Melatonin is responsible for the health of our skin and hair.”
Dr. Snehal, who is an ardent believer in deep holistic healing of an individual says, “Beauty to me is about being comfortable in your own skin. So I try to even tell my patients to be happy in your own skin. It is important for me to make my patients understand that things do not change overnight. Empathizing with the patients, counselling them and setting realistic goals for them form integral parts of the job.”
As the word is grappling with COVID-19 for more than a year now, the deadly virus has stuck its head out in the field of skin diseases as well. Dr. Snehal explains, “‘Maskne’ is a new term that has come to the fore. It is a combination of the words ‘mask’ and ‘acne’. It is caused due to sweat accumulated in the mask and the heat generated while talking when the mask is on. In order to avoid this infection, it is of utmost importance to wash your mask everyday and wear a clean mask everytime you step out of your home.”
Skin is the largest organ in the human body, so it is cardinal that we take utmost care of it. At Dr. Snehal’s clinic which boasts of trained doctors, modern technology and pleasant ambience, Dr. Snehal Pawar Badwaik strives to leave no stone unturned in offering the best experiential treatments to her patients, transforming their lives completely.
