Living in Chennai means enjoying plenty of sunshine, but it also comes with the challenge of protecting your skin from intense UV rays, high humidity, and year-round heat. Sunscreen is one of the most powerful tools in preventing sun damage, pigmentation, premature aging, and skin cancer. Yet, many people struggle to find the right sunscreen that works for Chennai’s tropical weather—where sweating, oiliness, and stickiness are constant concerns.

At Dr. Hanan Dermatology Speciality and Trichology Clinic in Chennai, we regularly help patients choose sunscreens that are not only effective but also comfortable for daily use in hot and humid conditions. This blog will guide you on everything you need to know before buying your next sunscreen.

A face wash is more than a cleansing step — it’s the foundation of your glowing skin routine. Using the wrong type can strip your skin of its natural oils, trigger breakouts, or dull your complexion.

Your skin’s pH balance, hydration, and barrier integrity all depend on how you cleanse it. That’s why dermatologists at Dr. Hanan Clinic Chennai recommend using cleansers with gentle surfactants, hydrating ingredients, and antioxidants suited for your skin type.

A dermatologist-recommended face wash doesn’t just remove dirt and makeup — it supports your skin’s microbiome, regulates oil, and prepares your skin to absorb nutrients from serums and moisturizers.

LED Light Therapy (also called Low-Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) uses specific wavelengths of light — particularly red and near-infrared light — to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.

Unlike surgical procedures, LED therapy is completely non-invasive, painless, and has no downtime. It works at a cellular level, improving blood circulation in the scalp and enhancing the activity of hair follicle cells.

The light energy penetrates the scalp tissue and stimulates mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouse), improving energy production and nutrient absorption. This helps weakened hair follicles become active again, resulting in stronger, thicker hair strands.

Hair loss is a concern that affects millions globally, and one common but often overlooked cause is stress. In a city like Chennai, where fast-paced lifestyles, work pressure, and environmental changes are constant, stress-related hair fall is becoming increasingly common. At Dr. Hanan Dermatology Speciality and Trichology Clinic, our dermatologists frequently treat patients whose hair loss is directly or indirectly triggered by stress.

In this blog, we’ll explore the scientific link between stress and hair loss, the different types of hair fall caused by stress, symptoms to watch out for, and expert treatment options available in Chennai.

If you are struggling with acne, sunspot, or pigmentation, do not ignore it. At Dr. Hanan Dermatology Specialty and Trichology Clinic, our experts provide personal summer skin care treatment:

1. Hydrafacials for hydration and deep cleansing

2. Chemical peels to remove tan and dead skin cells

3. Laser treatments for pigmentation and dullness

4. Custom summer skin care plans for all skin types

After hydrating, seal it in with a rich but non-comedogenic moisturizer. Choose products based on your skin type:

Dry skin: Ceramides, shea butter, squalane

Oily skin: Gel-based moisturizers with aloe or panthenol

Sensitive skin: Fragrance-free creams with oat extract or niacinamide

Applying moisturizer twice a day strengthens your skin’s lipid barrier and prevents water loss.

If your skin is extremely dehydrated or you’re not seeing improvement from your skincare routine, professional dermatological treatments may help:

• HydraFacial – deep cleans, exfoliates, and hydrates in one session

   

• Mesotherapy – injects hyaluronic acid directly into the skin

   

• Skin boosters – improve hydration and texture with long-lasting results

During the monsoon, the skin is exposed to a humid environment that can disrupt its natural barrier. Excess moisture in the air increases oil secretion in some skin types and increases the clog pores, causing acne or fungal infections. For others, sudden temperature shifts and indoor air conditioning can remove moisture, causing dry, flaky skin. The skin also attracts more dirt, sweat and pollutants during this season.

To maintain the glow and health of your skin, it is important to follow a skincare routine customized to monsoon-specific challenges.

Many believe that moisturizing oily skin will make it oil. Truth? Lagging moisturizer can actually increase oil production as skin tries to compensate for a lack of hydration. The key is to use a mild, non-comedogenic moisturizer that hydrates without pores. Moisturizers help maintain the natural obstruction of the skin, reduce inflammation and protect against environmental damage. Even oily skin requires balance – and it comes from proper hydration.
