Frequently Asked Questions

Which cosmetic treatment has no downtime?

PRP therapy, dermaroller (microneedling), and microdermabrasion (MDA) have minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness for a few hours, but can resume normal activities immediately. Botox and fillers also have minimal downtime — usually just avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours.

What is the most effective anti-ageing treatment?

For wrinkles, Botox is highly effective for dynamic lines (forehead, crow's feet). For volume loss, dermal fillers are best. For overall skin rejuvenation, a combination of chemical peels, laser therapy, and PRP provides comprehensive results. Dr. Richa recommends a personalised combination approach for best results.

How much do cosmetic treatments cost in Dehradun?

Costs vary by treatment: Chemical peels start around Rs 2,000-5,000 per session, Botox ranges from Rs 8,000-20,000 per area, Fillers from Rs 15,000-35,000, PRP from Rs 5,000-10,000 per session, and Laser treatments from Rs 3,000-15,000 per session. Exact pricing depends on the area treated and number of sessions needed.

All treatments at the clinic use FDA-approved products and follow strict hygiene protocols. A thorough consultation ensures the right treatment is chosen for your skin type and concerns.

Can I combine multiple treatments?

Yes! In fact, combination treatments often give the best results. For example, Botox + Fillers for comprehensive anti-ageing, or Dermaroller + PRP (Vampire Facial) for scar treatment. Dr. Richa will create a personalised treatment plan that may combine procedures for optimal outcomes.
