Heya, beautiful souls! I hope you are having lovely days and magical nights. You guys would be unaware but I am suffering from acne since 9th grade. I had a complete treatment at Shifa International and they bombarded me with a lot of products including Macrobac Capsules (best capsules for acne), Acne Aid facewash, a gel and a lotion. My acne disappeared in about a year and never came back until I entered the university. This time, acne was more severe and chronic plus, scarring started to occur. I had this huge patch of acne scars on my right cheek only. I again started the medication (ointments only) and acne became an on and off guest of mine then. Now as the Summers set in this year, a chronic acne started to appear on my right cheek and the chin area. I have this super duper oily skin so I bought facewash and oil control toners as well but all in vain.
Finally, my mum told me about this skin clinic that is situated in an Elite sector of Islamabad named as IPAL. We took an appointment for today and reached a few minutes earlier there so that I could take pretty pictures to share with you guys and review this pretty clinic later after.
About the clinic and their services:
The fee that they charged us with today was 1500 pkr. (consultation fee only) While waiting, we were offered tea/green tea by their staff. The receptionist was very kind and helpful and the manager gave us all the information we needed regarding the type of treatments that they offer along with their procedures and prices. He also told us about the alternate medications that we can find in the market and also suggested some drug stores. The ambience was amazing, Air conditioners were working great and the interior decor was up to the mark. There were professional nurses at the clinic as well who were taking continuous advice from the CEO. Machinery was amazing and the clinic was neat and clean. It was just like a home away from home. I loved the clinic actually! <3
About the Dermatologist:
Dr Sheher Bano, the CEO of IPAL greeted me with such a warm heart that I literally fell in love with her instantly. She is amazingly pretty inside out. Dr Sheher Bano is a dermatologist and a cosmetologist. She is the pioneer of introducing laser in hospitals and director of skin hair and laser clinic associated with American Academy Aesthetic Medicine (AAAM). She has a charming personality with a hint of professional charisma in her eyes. She is very confident and can tell you about the type of your acne in just a glimpse. She started off with a very friendly and affectionate “How may I help you?” dialogue and asked me about my health. She didn’t jump off at the conclusions or medications, instead, she learned each and everything about my hormonal history and then pulled out a model that was right on her table 🙂
After showing this model, she literally educated me about my acne and all types of acne that occur their causes and remedies.
Important for Acne sufferers:
The girls and boys who are having hormonal disbalances should seek help from their doctors because Hormonal disbalance is the root cause of acne. The girls with a history of Poly Cystic Ovaries (PVOs) should keep a check on their hormonal changes by having ultrasounds on and off.
My prescription and Recommendations:
The had a small pharmacy just beside the reception which had all the medicated products. I was prescribed with the following products:
- DCL Anti-acne Cleanser: For deep cleansing to remove all the dirt and unclogging the clogged pores. Its cost was 4500 pkr.
- Duac Gel: To apply on plump or fresh pimples. Its cost was 570 pkr.
- Skinoren Gel: To apply on acne scars. Its cost was 250 pkr.
- Heliocare Oil-free compact: A cake foundation sunscreen that controls oiliness thus giving you a wonderful sun protection. Its cost is 4100 pkr.
- Histomer- 201 Formula: It is a skin-glow formula to terminate pigmentation and skin lightening. Its price was also about 3000 pkr or more.
- Accutane Capsules: 1 capsule a day for a month with a gap of one day; 4 days a week. Their price is 590 pkr or so.
Discount Packages:
These packages are a full pack of many happy and beautiful things in a single jar. Go avail them!
She prescribed me with these medications to terminate the inflammation first so that she might go on further with the anti-scarring medications and treatments. Dr Sheher Bano is ranked as the #1 Dermatologist in Islamabad. She was very confident about each and every word she imparted. This clinic is a must to go if you are in search of getting rid of acne, excessive fat, acne scars, and burns, or want body contours, facials, fat loss, hair treatments, body reshaping and much much more. They are also offering Hydra facial for just 3500 pkr that is way much cheaper than many clinics who are claiming to be #1 skin clinics in Islamabad. I am going to get my hydrafacial in the coming week or so.
I hope you guys would find this post informative. Happy Pimpling! 😀
Adios xx
