Rip wan wrinkle
If you are on the wrong side of 40, it may well be time to turn to your friendly cosmetologist and give yourself a much-needed makeover. Beauty is after all not skin deep and you are only as old as you think. Or, to twist an old adage, you are as old as your last wrinkle.
If you are on the wrong side of 40, it may well be time to turn to your friendly cosmetologist and give yourself a much-needed makeover. Beauty is after all not skin deep and you are only as old as you think. Or, to twist an old adage, you are as old as your last wrinkle.
To retain youth, turn to amazing Ayurveda and enhance your beauty and health, says Dr Sangeeta Agrawal, Director, Ayurvigyan Rejuvenation Centre. Tucked away in Hazratganj, ARC has been providing the age-old wrinkle treatment therapy since 2000 with much success.
Her secret to arresting the ageing process is ‘Potli massage’. Simply put, the cloth fist contains herbs dipped in exotic plant extracts. The massage contracts muscles and tightens the skin while providing it much needed nutrition. This leads to an exclusively glowing skin and that too within a short timeframe of between 10 to 30 days.
Spelling out her roadmap to wrinkle-free beauty, she outlines seven signs that she looks out for: Skin type, Age, Illness, hormonal problem, Weather, Lifestyle and Diet and nutrition. The Ayurvedic and cosmetic physician spells out her corporate philosophy of Ayurvigyan Rejuvenation Centre. The A in Ayurvigyan stands for the knowledge of the life science to enhance longevity & quality of life, the R for youthfulness while the C symbolises ridding oneself of challenging problems.
She says most of her clients who opt for this age-defying treatment are in the age group of 40-60. They sure have reasons to smile about. A near 60-year-old client had come in for her 10th sitting. After a 90-minute sitting wherein Dr Agrawal gave her both the ‘potli’ and the ‘bhasm’ treatment personally, the client was overjoyed as she realised that she didn’t need anymore of the 11 sittings left.
This is not an isolated case. She claims to have treated even a 70-year-old man who walked into her clinic one afternoon. Twenty-one sittings later, he himself was shocked to see the deep wrinkles on his face disappear and sagging neck muscles tightened. Showing the photographs of this man, she said even she had not expected such a mind-blowing result.
Incidentally, the ‘bhasm’ treatment involves herbs mixed with fine gold, mercury and ivory dust, depending on the kind of wrinkles on one’s face. The sprightly cosmetologist reveals that she procures the raw material from local pharmacies and prepares the herbal medicines with her own deft hands.
The latest fad for Botox in the metros is a big no, no at ARC. Instead of succumbing to the Botox rage, the beauty doctor lets you in on some of her secrets and cautions you that Botox is a localised treatment and cannot bring back the glow on your face.
After all, it just paralyses your muscles and that, in itself, is no solution and can be dangerous at times, she says.
Set up in the year 2000 by Dr Sangeeta Agrawal, ARC claims to take holistic approach in the treatment of physical, social and spiritual health of every client who comes here.
It has a team of experienced Ayurvedic and Allopathic physicians with proven track record of sound technology.
Besides wrinkle treatment, ARC also excels in treatment of chronic muscular pain, common cosmetic problem, unwanted hair growth, obesity and hair fall.
