Condition guides

  • Close-up of facial redness caused by rosaceaFace

    Rosacea

    A persistent skin condition marked by facial redness, swelling and visible blood vessels, often with small red bumps that flare for weeks at a time before receding.

    Treated with

  • A young woman with melasma pigmentation across her cheeksFace

    Melasma

    Often called the mask of pregnancy — symmetrical brown to grey-brown patches across the cheeks, nose, forehead, upper lip and chin, driven by pigment-producing cells.

    Treated with

  • Dry, flaking skin across the foreheadFace

    Dry skin on the face

    Redness, tightness, flaking and cracking caused by a lack of lipids in the skin — aggravated by cold, wind, low humidity and harsh cleansers that strip its natural oils.

    Treated with

  • Close-up of open pores on the skin's surfaceFace

    Open pores

    The small openings that let sweat and sebum reach the skin's surface, most visible across the nose, forehead and chin where oil production is highest.

    Treated with

  • A woman with hooded upper eyelidsFace

    Hooded eyelids

    Excess upper-lid skin that falls over the crease and can make the eyes look heavy or tired. Dr Sarwar's assessment covers both wrinkle-relaxing lifts and surgical options.

    Treated with

  • A woman holding her jaw in discomfort from bruxismFace

    Bruxism

    Habitual grinding or clenching of the teeth. It wears the enamel, strains the jaw joint and, over time, visibly widens the jawline through masseter overgrowth.

    Treated with

  • A woman lying down with a migraineFace

    Migraines & tension headaches

    Chronic migraine is more than a severe headache. For attacks on more than fifteen days a month, Botox can interrupt the pain pathway and reduce both frequency and intensity.

    Treated with

  • Stretch marks across the abdomen during pregnancyBody

    Stretch marks

    Atrophic dermal scars that begin as thin pink or purple lines and fade to silvery white. Rarely a medical problem, but a common and lasting aesthetic concern.
