Deepavali is only a month away. You may well be on schedule for all your preparations, having bought a fancy sari and the jewellery to go with it. But how about getting that perfect complexion for the festive season? Here's what you can do to ensure you have clear, glowing skin and look a million bucks this Deepavali.

Clarity: There are very effective medical treatments that can get rid of all acne spots and scars. Even difficult to get rid of pigmentation or large dark patches on the face can be successfully treated using medical-grade creams and special chemical peels.

Glow: With our signature facial therapy called Triple C, you'll be glowing within 24 to 48 hours and there is no downtime or any redness or peeling. Recommended for those special days when you want to look your best, like the coming festive period.

Lighten: Get rid of dark eye circles using medical-grade eye creams and light eye therapy.

Facial hair: Remove facial hair for good and get a smooth, permanently hair-free face through laser hair treatment. The laser used is safe on tanned skin and most effective in getting rid of embarrassing facial hair.

Dark spots: Get rid of dark spots on the back and chest. Many suffer from acne spots on the back and on the chest and hence refrain from wearing figure-flattering sari blouses. We use a combination of a special body peel together with lightening and anti-acne creams to get rid of these dark spots.

Ageing: Without surgery and using just the latest innovation of radio frequency and infrared therapy, you can tighten the skin and look youthful and radiant.
