Acne can be a persistent and challenging issue, often necessitating numerous attempts with various treatments to achieve control. As a clinic rooted in dermatology, technology, and transformation, we are pleased to announce the implementation of AviClear, an advanced technological breakthrough. AviClear represents a significant advancement in acne treatment. Unlike many of its predecessors, which merely manage symptoms without providing a cure unless oral medication is involved, AviClear offers results comparable to potent prescription medications, but without the associated side effects and risks. This technology is TGA-approved, a testament to its efficacy and safety given the stringent regulations in Australia. AviClear delivers lasting clarity in just three sessions, spaced one month apart. We invite you to learn more by visiting the link in our bio, where you will find detailed information to begin your journey to clear skin. #acne #acnetreatment #acnecommunity #acnetips

ODE Dermatology grew this patients hair back in under one year… here is how. #hairloss #hairlosscommunity #hairlosstips #alopecia

Alopecia Universalis, a variant of alopecia associated with the autoimmune system, takes center stage in this week's spotlight at ODE Dermatology. Our featured patient, Seliem, exemplifies resilience in facing one of the most challenging forms of alopecia.Remarkably, Seliem found us through social media—an unexpected but fortuitous connection that transformed his life. What Seliem may be unaware of is the positive impact he has had on our team. At ODE Dermatology, we consider our patients' triumphs to be integral to our own success.#hairloss #alopecia #hairlosstips #hairlosstreatment #hairlosscommunity #hargrowth

Hands displaying visible cracks can be as uncomfortable as they are unattractive. Addressing this issue has various approaches, and one of the most straightforward and budget-friendly methods involves examining daily habits, particularly in terms of handwashing, and identifying the most suitable hand creams for individual needs. Though it may seem insignificant, neglecting this concern can lead to a condition known as fissuring, where the skin splits, creating a significant opening. This not only causes discomfort but also poses a risk of infection, as it makes the skin more vulnerable. For guidance in dealing with this unfortunate situation, consider the following tips from Dr. Shammi. #dryskin #skinhacks #skinconcerns #skincommunity #dermatits

Hair shedding during perimenopause is primarily due to hormonal changes and so many women experience it. These fluctuations can affect the hair growth cycle, leading to more hairs entering the resting phase and eventual shedding, and honestly, it’s a very scary time for some. Increased androgen sensitivity on the hair follicles and the stress associated with perimenopause can also contribute to excessive hair loss. If you’re concerned about hair shedding during perimenopause, there are solutions in which ODE Dermatology utilise every day. You’re not alone, just ask the lovely Dimtria…. She’s experienced significant improvement after just one of @drshammitheesan Hair protocol. #hairlloss #thinninghair #hairthinning #hairlosstreatment #hairlosscommunity #hairlosscommunity

Excess chin volume can alter facial proportions, drawing attention away from other features and creating a silhouette that might not feel like yourself. At ODE Dermatology, we possess cutting-edge technology to safely and efficiently eliminate unwanted fat using Trusculpt, a non-invasive body contouring treatment. Trusculpt employs radiofrequency (RF) technology to target fat cells, reducing them by 24% permanently. The handheld device precisely delivers controlled RF energy, gently heating fat cells and inducing apoptosis. As time progresses, the body naturally expels the treated fat cells, and the procedure may even promote collagen production for enhanced skin tightening. Our expertise in human anatomy positions us advantageously to meet your body contouring needs with a safe and effective approach. #bodycontouring #bodyshpe #bodytreatments #fatmelting #fatremoval

This is a PSA- ODE can safely and effectively treat skin of colour. Exclusionary culture is not our style but transforming lives is. ODE has taken the guess work out of removing pigmentation by finessing our protocol to deliver impact while not exacerbating the condition. Now is the time to claim the clarity you seek as we wrap up 2022 and commence another prosperous year ✨

Our patient, Truin, has a beautifully moving story ❤️ Truin has alopecia areata universalis which affects hair loss over the whole body rather than just on the head. This is considered an autoimmune condition with a tricky pathology. Like many alopecia sufferers, she was feeling emotionally defeated when we first met, having tried many treatments, and consulted with a plethora of doctors. Her partner, instrumental support throughout her journey, found himself one day in a conversation in a carpark which led to ODE Dermatology’s details being shared. Trepidatious yet, hopeful, Truin reached out in hopes that she could repair her sense of identity and resolve the debilitating condition that is alopecia.

If you can spare an hour, we'll give you back years topped with confidence and radiance.... See you at ODE ✨

ODE’S patient Anna is living proof that luminous skin can be achieved at ANY age, regardless of your starting point ✨ @drshammitheesan enjoyed a chuckle or two when Anna visited ODE to continue the bespoke treatment plan that was prescribed to her in Sept 2021. When we first met Anna, she was experiencing rosacea as well as notable sun damage, something she puts down to one too many hikes and cruises. Anna cited these things as making her feel “less than her personal best” and dedicated 2022 to adhering to the result-driven plan @drshammitheesan developed for her. It warms our hearts to feel her confidence radiate as she discusses where she was this time last year. Our message to you today is, that regardless of your starting point, there is always a journey ODE can bring you on should you find yourself ready to change your narrative. What is your ODE? 👇🏼

Seeing as @theellenshow has finished, we’d thought we’d pick up the job… There's something about getting to know people that helps us to understand who we are and lends perspective to our own feelings and thoughts. @mariathattil has been experiencing lacklustre skin recently and decided to drop into ODE. She enjoyed a BBL (not to be confused with a Brazilian Bum Lift) while our marketing manager @iam_rickypaul delved further into the TV personality/activists, with a mix of questions. If you have a Q for @mariathattil drop it below. We will ask her to answer it ✨

Can we see a show of hands for those who sweat profusely from their armpits? This is an obvious sentiment… but it comes with some serious anxiety, are we right? That all too familiar anxiety that we smell, that the wet patches are visible, that people can sense our physical discomfort. We understand and you’re not alone. Increased sweating can be attributed to genetics, diet, lifestyle and environmental factors, so a resolution can be tricky to obtain. Don’t sweat it 😅 …ODE has a maintenance and management plan that’s sustainable. Hit play to see how @drshammitheesan is tackling this debilitating issue.

Vitiligo is a condition that, on the surface, is relatively unknown to the everyday person. It’s not until you see an image of someone living with it that you would be able to connect the dots. In recent years, we’ve seen advocates such as @winnieharlow change the discourse around this autoimmune condition and what it means to live with it. While the root cause is yet to be understood, here is what we do know about it ✨ • Vitiligo is caused by the lack of a pigment called melanin in the skin. •Melanin is produced by skin cells called melanocytes. This gives the skin its colour. •In vitiligo, there are not enough working melanocytes to produce enough melanin in your skin. •This causes white patches to develop on your skin or hair. 👩‍⚕️Here is how ODE can assist .... @drshammitheesan has multiple approaches, however, in this video, she is seen injecting a combination of growth factors and hyaluronic acid, combined with topical corticosteroids. This will stimulate the pigment-producing cells to commence the production of melanin. If you want to know more about how we can treat vitiligo, comment 💯 and we will be in contact 👏🏼

@drshammitheesan caught up with @d_a_t_a last week to discuss fitness, lifestyle, and his approach to maintaining his physique as a male model. The ODE team really enjoyed treating Dave. He is a pearl of wisdom with a wealth of knowledge about the body, nutrition, and the staying focused on goals. If you’re comfortable sharing the types of exercise you participate in, we’d love to hear. Some of the ODE team are hoping to prospect new and exciting forms of exercise. Suggestions will be warmly welcomed 🧘‍♀️

When did you have your last full skin check? ☀️ Skin cancer accounts for the largest number of cancers diagnosed in Australia each year, THAT’S HUGE…. and it doesn’t exclusively affect the mature portion of the Australian population. What begins as an innocuous spot today becomes tomorrow’s threat. The good news is, if detected early, the survival rate is high which illustrates the need to prioritise your full skin check. Dr Shammi Theesan recommends a full skin check every 12 months. Over the past 15 years, she has witnessed a sizeable portion of her patients’ lives being saved because of their annual skin checks. When are you scheduling your skin check? www.odedermatology.com.au

Acne and hair loss- It’s not an ideal combination. This week, Claire consulted with @drshammitheesan to learn more about suspected hair thinning and a sudden surge in acne after using an expired product. Each week, ODE has the pleasure of meeting patients that are experiencing a range of symptoms. On the surface, their symptoms present in a similar fashion, however, the causations are unique to their body, requiring bespoke treatment plans. We are interested to learn what Claire’s causations are and how we can assist. Join us as @drshammitheesan investigates…

Allow us to set the scene… You’ve just finished a course of Vitamin A, you’ve had AMAZING results, your skin is pimple-free for the first time in forever, but, you realise you have just entered another battlefield. Cue acne scarring, the secondary problem to acne. You think, “It’s okay, it will fade…I hope” and you get on with life. 6 months pass and so does the PIE (post inflammatory erythema) but you’re left with indents in your skin, causing an inconsistent canvas and a resurgence of skin-anxiety. Your makeup isn’t sitting right, light isn’t reflecting well in images and you’re lacking luminosity and vibrancy. Many of us have been there. It’s deflating because so many people don’t hold discourse around this, it’s predominantly aimed at acne as a single topic. ODE Dermatology views curing acne as a protocol journey rather than a single step. We house the technology required to rectify acne scarring. Pico MLA is brilliant and doesn’t require long downtimes, ongoing treatments, and is effective with all 6 Fitzpatrick skin types. It’s a miracle that is yours to gift yourself post-acne. You deserve clarity 🌿

@drshammitheesan and @oliviamollyrogers discuss all things #acne in an intimate discussion. For those who may or may not know, @oliviamollyrogers has suffered with acne for the longest time, and she gets candid with Dr Shammi as we narrow in on causation, undiagnosed conditions and how we are going to manage it. It’s a long, yet valuable, video that will bring relief to fellow sufferers to know that acne doesn’t discriminate 👩‍⚕️
