Types of Skin Treatments for Healthy, Glowing Skin

Every day, your skin faces numerous stressors—UV light, pollution, hormonal changes, dehydration, and the natural effects of ageing. While a consistent at-home skincare routine is important, it often cannot address deeper concerns like pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, or skin laxity. That’s where professional care makes a difference. At her Cosmetology Clinic in Ahmedabad, Dr Stuti Bajaj guides patients in choosing treatments that are not just cosmetic luxuries but essential tools to rejuvenate, correct, and maintain healthy skin. 

In Ahmedabad, where sun exposure is high and wellness trends continue to evolve, investing in professional skin treatments combines local expertise with advanced techniques. Below, we explore popular skin treatments and how to select the right ones for achieving radiant, healthy skin in Ahmedabad.

What are the main categories of skin treatments? 

When patients ask, “What kinds of skin treatments are available?” or “Which one is best for me?” I like to categorise them into broad groups, each targeting different layers or concerns.

1) Non-invasive / Superficial Treatments

These treatments focus on the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, and generally involve minimal downtime:

• Microdermabrasion: A gentle mechanical exfoliation that buffs away dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin. It’s painless, quick, and often used to improve texture and reduce mild pigmentation. 
• Chemical Peels: Utilising acids such as glycolic, salicylic, or stronger forms like TCA, chemical peels dissolve the outer skin layers, promoting new cell growth and an even skin tone. 
• Dermaplaning: A precise scraping of the outer dead skin layer (and fine vellus hair) using a blade, resulting in brighter, smoother skin and better absorption of skincare products. 
• LED / Light Therapy: Uses blue or red light to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and combat acne-causing bacteria. 

These treatments are excellent starting points, especially for younger patients or those experiencing mild pigmentation, dullness, or clogged pores.

2) Moderate/intermediate treatments

These reach deeper layers (dermis) and stimulate renewal, but with manageable downtime. 

• Microneedling (collagen induction therapy): Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body to heal and produce new collagen and elastin. This helps with acne scars, large pores, and an uneven texture. 
• Radiofrequency (RF) or ultrasound treatments: Heat energy reaches deeper levels to tighten skin and stimulate collagen — useful for mild sagging or early laxity. 
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) / Photo rejuvenation / Laser therapy: Broad-spectrum light or laser energy treats pigmentation, broken vessels, and sun damage, and improves tone and clarity. 

These are ideal for those who want more than surface exfoliation but are not ready for aggressive procedures.

3) Injectables, fillers, and advanced aesthetic treatments

These work deeper and offer structural or volumising results. 

• Dermal fillers: Dermal Fillers Treatment Hyaluronic acid–based fillers can restore volume, lift cheeks, soften folds, or fill hollows. Their effects last months to a year or more. 
• Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, etc.): These injections reduce dynamic wrinkles by relaxing specific facial muscles. 
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) / Vampire facelift: Your own plasma is used to promote tissue repair, boost collagen, and rejuvenate ageing or damaged skin. 

Advanced treatments may also combine modalities, for example, microneedling + RF, or laser + PRP, to enhance synergy. 

Which treatment suits you? — Which treatment is best for my skin tone or concern? 

Patients often ask: Which of these types of skin treatments should I pick in Ahmedabad? The answer depends on several factors: 

• Your skin concern: If your goal is to treat pigmentation or sunspots, IPL or chemical peels may help. For acne scars or texture, microneedling is more suitable. For facial volume loss or folds, fillers or PRP therapy may be needed. 
• Your skin type and pigmentation: Darker or richly pigmented skin demands cautious selection (some lasers or peels can cause hyperpigmentation). An expert like Dr Stuti Bajaj evaluates your skin to pick treatments safe for your melanin level. 
• Downtime tolerability: Some treatments require rest (peeling, redness) while others let you resume work quickly. 
• Budget and frequency: Some treatments are affordable and repeatable (chemical peels, light therapy), while injectables or laser sessions may involve more cost and maintenance. 
• Combination approach: Often, a series of milder treatments over months is safer and more natural than one aggressive session. 

By discussing your goals, lifestyle, and tolerance, Dr Stuti Bajaj can design a customised regimen that combines appropriate treatments for lasting, glowing results. 

How can you maintain healthy skin care in Ahmedabad between treatments? 

Undergoing professional skin treatments is only part of achieving glowing skin. The rest lies in your everyday routine and local care: 

• Sun protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30–50+) daily. In Ahmedabad’s intense sun, UV protection is vital to preserve treatment gains. 
• Gentle cleansing and hydration: Use mild cleansers, and hydrate with non-comedogenic moisturisers suited to your skin. 
• Avoid harsh exfoliants unless advised by your cosmetologist. 
• Routine maintenance treatments: Periodic light treatments (e.g. LED, mild peels) help maintain results from deeper procedures. 
• Healthy lifestyle: Adequate sleep, hydration, a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco or excessive sugar all reflect on your skin. 

When combined with skilled treatments, this consistent care helps preserve results over the long term.
