Deepika Padukone swears by the HIFU treatment for glowing skin; here's how it helps combat signs of ageing
The secret behind Deepika Padukone's radiant and youthful skin isn't just expensive cosmetic treatments, but a dedicated focus on nutrition, fitness, and a solid, consistent skincare routine. In a recent Instagram post, the Singham Again actor shared behind-the-scenes footage of getting ready for a Cartier's High Jewellery event in Dubai, which entailed getting a HIFU treatment done.
'Cleansing is the foundation of good skin,' said the Piku actor, adding that 'HIFU is HIFUing.' 'When it comes to my everyday skincare routine, I just stick to the basics,' she revealed.
Pointing towards a Cryo machine, she shared that it works very similarly to 'when you dunk your face in ice'. Padukone also mentioned in the video that the treatment involves using a booster, which helps 'boost collagen in your skin', and finishes the routine with LED light exposure.

Dr Shareefa Chause, dermatologist at Dr Shareefa Skin Care Clinic, Mumbai, explained that High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen production in the skin, creating a tightening effect and minimizing wrinkles and sagging. It helps combat signs of aging by boosting the skin's natural collagen production. It is a good option for individuals seeking to lift and rejuvenate their facial skin without undergoing surgery.
You do not need anesthesia, surgery, or extended recovery periods, offering a safe and precise option for targeted therapy. Dr Chause recommended consulting a doctor regarding this procedure and clearing all doubts. 'The doctor will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure. If advised, follow the instructions given for optimum results,' she added.
'Ultracel Q+ is an advanced HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) which stimulates collagen production while targeting fat cells, providing a painless, quick, and effective way to achieve firmer, youthful skin. With results that last up to 18 months, this revolutionary treatment is perfect for facelifts, body contouring, and overall skin rejuvenation,' said Dr. Dhruvi Patel, MBBS, DDV, The Luxē Clinic Mehsana, Gujarat.
According to her, investing in anti-aging treatments can also serve as a proactive approach to skincare. 'The earlier one begins to incorporate anti-aging products into their routine, the more effective they can be in slowing down the aging process. This also includes sun protection to guard against UV damage, antioxidant-rich serums to combat free radicals, and hydration techniques to maintain skin moisture,' she said, adding that establishing a solid skincare routine early on can reduce the need for more invasive treatments later in life.
Proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate hydration, and quality sleep all play crucial roles in maintaining youthful skin and a vibrant appearance. Anti-aging treatments can work in synergy with these habits, amplifying their effects and fostering an overall healthy lifestyle.

Shivangi Verma hits back after Govind Namdev reveals the story behind their viral photo: 'Buzurg satiya jaate hain'
Veteran actor , 70, recently broke his silence on the dating rumours involving his 31-year-old co-star Shivangi Verma. He revealed that their viral photo was part of a planned publicity strategy for their upcoming film Gaurishankar Goharganj Wale. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, it appears that is not at all pleased with this revelation. Govind Namdev clarifies the viral photo In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Namdev explained, 'When the film was being prepared, we had a discussion with the director, producer, and Shivangi about planning a strong publicity strategy. I agreed that it was necessary,' he said, adding that they had taken photos during morning workouts and shoot days. Namdev said that Shivangi herself had suggested the idea of projecting them as a romantic pair to generate buzz. 'Shivangi insisted that we should have a romantic pairing, that the images needed to convey a certain chemistry. I agreed, but also asked what kind of content she had in mind,' he explained. 'She said, 'There's a lot. Content matters most.' I thought, fine, let's do it.' However, he said things went south when she proceeded with tagging and posting content without informing him. 'That's where the misunderstanding started. People began speculating about us, and frankly, I didn't appreciate it. That's why I stopped talking to her,' he stated. Shivangi posts a scathing message on Instagram Shivangi didn't take these remarks lightly. On Wednesday evening, she took to her Instagram Stories and posted a scathing message in Hindi: 'Sahi kaha hai kisi ne, buzurg badhti umr mein satiya jaate hain...G***** Tired of too many ads? go ad free now N*****.' The comment, roughly translated to 'Old people lose their senses with age,' was seen as a direct dig at Namdev. The use of his initials left little doubt about whom she was referring to. 'I'm not here to prove anything,' says Namdev In the same interview, Namdev also addressed rumours suggesting that his marriage with wife Sudha Namdev had hit a rough patch due to the controversy. 'There were rumours that my household was affected and me and my wife were considering living separately. I didn't react then, and I don't react now. Everyone can see the truth,' he said. 'The more I raped, murdered, misbehaved onscreen, the more I got close to my family,' says popular villain Govind Namdev He added that the situation forced him to speak up, especially after people close to him expressed concern. 'People had begun feeling sorry for me — not just the audience, but even close friends and family. So yes, as a respected actor, I felt a responsibility to speak up. That's why I shared two posts initially — just to set the record straight.'

Katy Perry says Los Angeles belongs to Mexico; X users ask her to shut up, remind her she's an 'astronaut', not a historian
Pop star supported the Los Angeles riots and said illegal migrants are being hunted like criminals in their ancestral home while Los Angeles is basically a Mexican city. Social media users asked her to shut up and reminded her that he recent Blue Origin flight into the space makes her an 'astronaut' but not a historian. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a series of Instagram stories, Katy Perry shared what she felt about the riots and how a deep injustice is being done to the people who built the city. "Los Angeles has lived under three flags: Spain, Mexico, and the United States. That land has seen borders shift, power, change, hands, and yet the people, especially the brown and indigenous people, have always been there. Planting roots, building lives, raising families,' the message said. 'And now, in 2025 the descendants of those same communities are being hunted, like criminals and their own ancestral home. ' 'It's more than infuriating, it's a deep injustice. How can a city built on Mexican labor, Mexican history and Mexican culture turn around and criminalize the very people who shaped it?' the post added. 'This was once Mexican land, and the people being targeted today are often descendants of those who have lived here for generations, or who came seeking safety, work, and dignity,' the message said. 'Many undocumented immigrants are quietly holding up the economy with their labor, raising families, paying taxes, and contributing to communities, yet they are vilified and dignity.' "REMINDER: Katy Perry is an astronaut, not a historian," one post mockingly said. "@katyperry thinks Mexico and Spain are the same place.," another wrote. "A reminder that Hollywood airheads are just that. Clueless #KatyPerry, or her media flack, doesn't know that in 1781, there was no such thing as Mexico. It was New Spain (the Virreinato de Nueva España), part of the Spanish Empire," a third user said.
