VOGUE India interviews Dr. Devgan on how to treat hyperpigmentation on Indian Skin

Dr. Devgan was recently interviewed by Vogue India to discuss the causes, treatments, and prevention tips for hyperpigmentation. Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of the luxury medical-grade skincare line, Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty, so her expertise on the subject is superior. 

Hyperpigmentation Collection

Hyperpigmentation is caused by various factors, like sun exposure, trauma, and scarring, and is a main skin concern for Indians living in the tropics. Hyperpigmentation appears on the skin in the form of “freckles, age spots, brown or beige spots, or even a confluence of patches of dark colours on the skin.” According to Dr. Devgan, “medium, olive and darker skin tones can often experience more hyperpigmentation because of a tendency of the skin to tan in response to noxious stimuli.” Ways in which you can treat hyperpigmentation “range from at-home and minimally invasive to extensive in-office procedures”, like lasers, chemical peels, and microinfusion microneedling. For a less invasive approach, Dr. Devgan recommends “topical products including Vitamin C serum, retinol, bakuchiol, hyaluronic, peptides, and zinc- or titanium- based SPF.” If your skin requires something more intense, in-office treatments are a great option. In the end, the most important step anyone can take to prevent hyperpigmentation is applying sunscreen on a daily basis.

If your skin is experiencing hyperpigmentation, you should look into the Hyperpigmentation Collection. This Scientific Beauty Collection includes the Retinoid Glow Serum, Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum, Hyaluronic Serum, SPF 44 BB Cream, and Microdermabrasion Scrub. When used together, these five products will help fade hyperpigmentation, smooth and soften the texture of your skin, and protect your skin from the sun.

If you would like to schedule an appointment for any minimally-invasive skin treatments, email Office@LaraDevganMD.com, or call (212)-452-2400. For the full article, click here.

Allure Magazine interviews Dr. Devgan on her thoughts about “How Cosmetic Doctors Are Approaching Injectables in a World That Calls for Masks”

Allure Magazine consults with Dr. Devgan, New York City-based board-certified plastic surgeon, on her thoughts about how the world of cosmetic surgery and injections will be different after the spread of COVID-19. What many people do not realize is how plastic surgeon’s protocols will now be drastically different than how they were before.

So long are the days where patients at any office are able to enter the office freely and wait among other patients until their name was called. Protocols these days are much more than just a confirmation call. In order to be cleared to come in for an appointment, patients must now arrive at the time of the appointment to avoid time spent in the waiting room, sign all consents and documentation prior to arrival, as well as use hand sanitizer and wear a protective mask at all times. While some believe that injecting in only the upper one third of the face, the area not covered by a mask, is not beneficial, Dr. Devgan believes that there is “value in addressing the face one area at a time.” That being said, this is not stopping Dr. Devgan from performing injectable filler on any area of the face. Her approach? Dr. Devgan is considering having patients wear a large face shield so that she can comfortably inject on any part of the face without risking contamination. Even so, whether you are being injected on your forehead or your nose, any practitioner is still standing the same distance away.

The most important thing to remember is that while plastic surgeons are now open and available to see patients, your health is the most important factor and should be taken into consideration before making an appointment, especially if you are at high risk. If you are healthy and would like some more information about making an appointment, please email Office@LaraDevganMD.com or call (212)-452-2400 so we can help set one up.

The Daily Front Row include Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum in the Top 8 Vitamin C Serums to incorporate into your skincare routine

The Daily Front Row, your online destination for all things fashion and beauty, listed Dr. Devgan’s Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum as one of the top serums to add to your skincare routine. Dr. Devgan is the founder of Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty, which is a clean, luxury medical-grade skincare collection. 

According to Dr. Devgan, “Vitamin C is one of the most important and yet most frequently overlooked parts of an ideal skin care regimen.” This power-packed ingredient is crucial and does wonders for the skin. Further, “vitamin C works mechanistically as a powerful antioxidant that scavenges free radical damage caused by UVA and UVB radiation and blue light from our electronics.” That being said, since we are all working from home and on our computers and phones every minute, a Vitamin C serum would be great to add to your routine. Not only does it help with damage caused by UVA, UVB, and blue light radiation, but it also works to “fade hyperpigmentation, melasma, brown spots, improves the texture of the skin, and reduces the visibility of fine lines.” 

Dr. Devgan’s Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum contains  high concentrations of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B derivatives, Ferulic Acid, and Acetyl Octapeptide. All of these ingredients combined work together to give you a fantastic result. We recommend that you apply the serum at night, after you’ve washed your face and before applying any retinol or moisturizers. If you have any questions about skincare or would like to know if this product is right for you, feel free to email Beauty@LaraDevganMD.com. To read the article, click here.

Refinery29 consults with Dr. Devgan on how COVID-19 Will Change the Cosmetic Dermatology & Plastic Surgery world

The world as we know it has changed drastically since the spread of COVID-19. School is now online, employees are working from home, and restaurants and stores are offering curbside pick up to customers. What else is different? The world of cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery. Refinery29 reporter, Lexy Lebsack, chats with Dr. Devgan, New York City-based, board-certified plastic surgeon, about how COVID-19 will affect cosmetic surgery.

According to Dr. Devgan, “Coronavirus has affected every aspect of [her] practice and the entire fabric of our community.” In order to survive, the cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery world is learning to quickly adapt to these changes in order to cater to everyone’s needs. Dr. Devgan predicts that a more natural look will be popular. Since we are spending more time at home, everyone is “becoming acquainted with what we actually look like”, so so-long are the days of overfilled lips and cheeks. Dr. Devgan explains how she believes that patients will be focusing more on balance over size for features like lips, breasts, and buttocks. Additionally, Dr. Devgan believes that she will see more people asking for minimally-invasive injectables rather than complex surgeries. Elective surgeries will be able to resume once the virus is controlled, however even so, it may be awhile until people feel comfortable with surgical protocols.

While these complications may shift trends, Dr. Devgan mentions how demand will never fully fade. We will still have patients who desire both injectables and surgery, and when the time is right, Dr. Devgan will be able to do so. We are currently holding a waitlist for patients, both new and existing, who with to be contacted once we officially reopen. If you would like to be added, please email Office@LaraDevganMD.com with your full name and phone number. For the time being, Dr. Devgan is offering virtual consultations!

ELLE Features Dr. Devgan in the latest spread about post-COVID beauty

With so much uncertainty in the world right now, Elle investigates how the world of beauty will change. Being that Dr. Devgan is a globally recognized board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, Elle chats with her in order to get a better understanding of what she believes will be the future of beauty. Dr. Devgan is the creator of Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty, so her view on this situation involves both at-home remedies and in-office treatments.

Dr. Devgan predicts “that the return to medical-grade skin care will be the single biggest change in the aesthetics industry following COVID-19 home quarantine.” This is her conclusion because since we are all spending most of out days, if not all, at home with nothing to prove, people want and need products that work so that they can utilize this time best. If you are not familiar with Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty, it is a medical-grade, clean line of skincare products that address all skincare concerns. Whether you have oily skin, dry skin, uneven textures and skin tones, or just want to prevent aging, there is something for everyone. As for in-office treatments, Dr. Devgan believes “ minimally invasive procedures will continue to grow in popularity’ because patients “will focus on more durable procedures, such as fillers, rather than more fleeting ones like toxins.”

In regards to marketing and advertising, something that Dr. Devgan believes is that “the optics, the influencers, the expensive ad campaigns, and the colour schemes of branding all of a sudden [will] matter much less.” This time during quarantine, people have been able to reflect on what “real” really means, and people want transparency. Dr Devgan Scientific Beauty prides itself on being real with our customers and by sharing real customer photos and reviews. If you are interesting in reading more about each product, click here.
