Services & Facilities At Evercare Hospital Dhaka

Our services are provided through advanced facilities and programs:

• Electrocautery & Electrosurgery

Electrocautery and Electrosurgery are surgical techniques which involve introducing high frequency current to a specific area of the body in order to remove or cut unwanted tissue. In Dermatology, these techniques are used for the removal of moles, warts, skin tags, and other skin growths.

Electrosurgery

• Cryosurgery

Cryosurgery is the procedure which involves the use of liquid nitrogen in subzero temperatures for treating body warts, hand warts, planter warts, genital warts, moles, skin tags, solar keratoses, and small tumours or skin cancers.

• Intralesional injection

Intralesional injection is the direct delivery of medication percutaneously into specific skin lesions to treat local tissues with minimal side effects. It is used for the treatment of diseases like keloids, Alopecia areata (hair loss/baldness), prurigo nodularis, lichen planus, discoid lupus erythromatosus, and inflammatory acne nodules.

• Laser Procedures

Laser treatment involves the application of a strong laser beam of light for treatment of the skin. We are using laser treatment for the removal of scars, birthmarks, tattoos, unwanted hair, superficial leg veins, stretch marks, and acne scarring, as well as treatment of rosacea, facial blood vessels, pigmentation, age-related cosmetic problems, etc.

• Skin Biopsies

A skin biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of living skin is removed from the body for microscopic pathological examination, to establish a precise diagnosis of the skin condition. We utilize different types of skin biopsies, including punch biopsy, shave biopsy, excision biopsy and incision biopsy.

• Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy is a technique for advanced skin examination using magnification and illumination, applied extensively for mole screening and cancer diagnosis. Dermoscopy not only diagnoses pigmented skin lesions and melanoma, but also a whole variety of dermatoses, including infections and inflammatory conditions.

• Phototherapy

The department is equipped with latest PUVA (Psoralen plus ultraviolet light) and narrow band UVB chambers to give phototherapy to patients with psorosiasis, vitiligo, and sometimes in other dermatological conditions. Equipped with hand and foot unit, the PUVA machine is also used for treating localized diseases.

• Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is a process which increases the penetration of drugs into surface tissues by the application of an electric current. It is used with greatest success in the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the hands and feet.

Skin Rejuvenation Programme Our specialized Skin Rejuvenation programme involves glycolic acid peel treatment, which is a specific technique for skin renewal. Essentially, the glycolic acid peel is a controlled removal of surface skin cells that act as a stimulus for renewal of the skin and an improved skin appearance. Performed under supervision of a physician, the treatment is especially designed with products formulated to provide the stimulus for “renewal” of your skin. The process begins with the removal of the damaged layer of skin which lies over the undamaged skin. This removal of the damaged dead cell layer initiates rebuilding and reconstructuring of the deeper skin cells, resulting in skin which appears healthier, plumper and tighter. Glycolic acid is part of the alpha hydroxiacids (AHAs) group of naturally occurring “fruit acids”. Leading dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide have long appreciated the positive results of AHA treatments. Numerous clinical publications have also shown the benefits of AHA in improving skin appearance. Glycolic acid peel treatment results in the following improvements: · Minimize the visible signs of aging and age spots, softening of fine lines and diminution of course lines from sun damage · Smoothes complexion · Balances irregular skin tones · Softens dry skin · Promotes a healthy youthful glow · Improves oily acne prone skin; mild to moderate levelling of acne scars · Some minimization of pore size
