Special arrangement Dr. Rashmi Shetty - Celeb Cosmetic Physician 3 Rashmi Shetty had finished her medical studies and was training to be a plastic surgeon when life took a new turn. I got married and moved to Mumbai from Bangalore. I didnt find suitable postings and so I looked for ways to make people look beautiful. Thats how the Mumbai-based expert in non-surgical aesthetic medicine started off on a path that has led her to where she is now. Dr. Rashmi recently launched her first book Age Erase. I was travelling a lot to give technical lectures and was invited as a speaker to various events. I got a lot of questions on skincare and hair issues and realised that though there was a wealth of information online no one knew what to trust or what really works. I hence decided to create a credible source on skincare for laymen, she says. Age Erase is meant to be a ready reckoner for those just starting a proper skin and hair care regimen and also clarifies doubts for those already following their own. It also gives an idea of the right questions to ask a doctor if you choose to go … Continue reading →

Visually stunning, the slick futurist aesthetic of 'Drive' extended to the film's soundtrack. Much lauded, the score has become almost as well known as the movie itself. Radio 1 host Zane Lowe is attempting to re-score 'Drive', inviting top musicians to craft something new alongside the visuals. The 1975 agreed to take part. One of their first recordings since releasing their hugely successful debut album, the band have donated 'Medicine'. Here's Matthew Healy to explain more: After we stole him we made our way from Los Angeles through the Californian desert to Las Vegas. Drowning my sorrows and (narrowly) avoiding conflict from many directions..... I sat down with Jim (Zane Lowe's Producer) and he began to explain to me how he was in the process of re-scoring a movie and did we want to be involved. The film in question was the modern classic Drive. So of course my answer was yes. We wrote Medicine for our chosen scenes. Medicine, its title and sentiment, goes all the way back to the original The 1975 project that was based in my bedroom. Its a new piece of music informed by the genesis of our band and our love for Drive as … Continue reading →

SINGAPORE: A doctor practicing aesthetic medicine was found guilty of four charges of professional misconduct between July 2013 and August this year, a disciplinary committee convened by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) found. Dr Teh Tze Chen Kevin, who was a medical practitioner at Singapore Lipo, Body & Face Centre at Novena Medical Centre, was found guilty of wilful neglect by prescribing Augmentin to a patient, even though the patient was allergic to Amoxycillin, which the medication contained, the SMC said on Tuesday (Oct 21). The disciplinary committee said Dr Teh failed to act in the best interests of the patient by proceeding with a Vaser LipoSelection treatment after realising the patient had consumed Augmentin. The doctor then failed to tell the patient that he was about to administer Promethazine to treat the allergic reaction to Augmentin, the SMC said. The committee also found that Dr Teh, 40, had tampered with the case notes to reflect that the patients allergy had been discovered in March 2009, when in fact it had surfaced much later. The SMC said this was part of Dr Teh's cover-up and plan to divert the blame to the nurses. The SMC ordered that the doctor be … Continue reading →
