Reveal Lasers Hosts Groundbreaking Forum with Dr. Madhuri Agarwal & Navya Singh
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 25: In a landmark Pride Month initiative, Reveal Lasers India, led by CEO Mr. Kuntal Debgupta, partnered with renowned dermatologist Dr. Madhuri Agarwal and trans icon Navya Singh--the first trans woman among the top 30 contestants of Miss Universe 2024--to elevate the conversation on LGBTQ+ skin and hair health. Hosted at Yavana Clinic Mulund, this event centered on the unique hormonal and physiological challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community and offered real-world solutions.
Redefining Confidence: Laser Hair Removal as a Gender-Affirming Solution
One of the most discussed and emotionally resonant topics during the session was laser hair removal--a procedure that holds deep significance for many in the LGBTQ+ community, especially transgender individuals undergoing gender transition.
For trans women, excessive facial and body hair can be a persistent source of gender dysphoria, affecting both confidence and day-to-day comfort. For trans men, targeted hair reduction is often desired to shape identity on their own terms. In both cases, laser hair removal becomes more than a cosmetic treatment--it becomes a step toward self-affirmation and dignity.
Dr. Madhuri Agarwal emphasized how laser hair removal, when performed with medical-grade devices like those from Reveal Lasers, offers long-term results with safety and precision, especially when tailored to different skin tones and hair types. The technology not only reduces physical discomfort from shaving or waxing but also helps individuals align their appearance more closely with their gender identity.
Navya Singh shared how laser hair removal played a critical role in her own journey:
"It gave me the power to walk into the world with confidence. It wasn't just about appearance--it was about being me, unapologetically."*
The session called attention to the urgent need for safe, accessible, and inclusive laser hair removal services in India. Reveal Lasers, through this initiative, aims to break the stigma and make these treatments more approachable for queer and trans individuals across the country.
By prioritizing visibility and education, this Pride Month event spotlighted how technology can empower transformation--not just of the body, but of self-worth and identity.

Pioneering 'Batman Procedure' Offers New Hope to High-Risk Heart Patients
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 8: Doctors at Rajasthan Hospital Limited (RHL), Jaipur have successfully performed India's first electrosurgical valve-in-valve mitral procedure, informally called the "Batman Procedure", giving a 74-year-old woman from Srinagar a new lease on life. Fatima Bano, who had previously undergone open-heart surgery to replace two valves, was once again facing heart failure. Medical investigations revealed her mitral valve was failing, but her advanced age and health condition made her too high-risk for another conventional open-heart surgery, according to specialists at Srinagar and AIIMS, New Delhi. With her condition worsening and traditional surgery deemed too risky, her family turned to Dr. Ravinder Singh Rao, Chairman, RHL Heart Centre & Head - TAVI Program. Dr. Rao and his team performed the complex procedure using an advanced electrosurgical technique. Using a minimally invasive catheter-based approach, Dr. Rao's team employed precision electrosurgical tools, including a fine electrified wire, to precisely open part of the malfunctioning mitral valve and implant a new one, all without opening the chest. This complex but swift procedure, rarely attempted in such high-risk patients, enabled Fatima to walk within days and return home to her routine life shortly after. "This case proves that even elderly, high-risk patients can receive transformative treatment with the right tools and expertise," said Dr. Rao. This case represents a significant milestone in India's cardiovascular care landscape: the nation's first electrosurgical valve-in-valve intervention for a failed mitral valve in a previously operated patient. The procedure demonstrates the possibility of safely treating complex heart valve disease in elderly, high-risk patients once deemed inoperable.

Handa Aesthetics Introduces ERAS Protocol to Transform Tummy Tuck Recovery Experience
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 8: Handa Aesthetics has become one of the first aesthetic surgery clinics in the region to introduce the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for its aesthetic procedures. This evidence-based approach is making an impactful difference in patient care by reducing post-operative discomfort such as pain and nausea. The protocol is also effective in speeding recovery, ensuring well-being and comfort. ERAS is a comprehensive, multi-step protocol designed to improve outcomes before, during, and after surgery. At Handa Aesthetics, the protocol is now being applied to abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedures, significantly improving recovery time and reducing the need for narcotics. "With ERAS, our tummy tuck patients experience less pain, quicker healing, and return to their normal lives sooner," says Dr. Handa. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is increasingly popular among mothers and those who've lost significant weight. The procedure helps remove excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, helping restore strength, posture, and confidence. Beyond aesthetics, it can relieve back pain and improve core support, especially for those with a sagging skin or with separated muscles after pregnancy or major weight loss. At Handa Aesthetics, patients often arrive after years of physical and emotional discomfort. Loose skin can cause rashes or infections, and weakened abdominal muscles may lead to back pain or difficulty performing physical activities. Beyond the physical, many report struggling with low self-esteem, especially when it comes to choosing clothing or engaging in personal relationships. "I spent years hiding behind baggy clothes. After two kids and losing 30 kgs, nothing worked. The tummy tuck gave me my body and confidence back," shares Shweta M., 36, a recent patient at Handa Aesthetics. Under the expert care of Dr. Handa, a board-certified plastic surgeon with international training, Handa Aesthetics offers more than just a procedure; it provides a deeply personalized and transformative experience. Using advanced surgical techniques that minimize scarring and promote faster recovery, the clinic ensures safety and comfort with cutting-edge technology and comprehensive pre- and post-operative care plans. What truly sets the clinic apart is its commitment to patient-centered care, including emotional support and body-positive consultations. "We don't just change bodies, we change lives," says Dr. Handa. "Every tummy tuck is custom-planned based on the patient's lifestyle, concerns, and long-term goals." Tummy tucks aren't limited to women; many men opt for the procedure after significant weight loss. Recovery typically takes 2 to 3 weeks before returning to work, with full recovery around 6 to 8 weeks. Scarring is expected, but strategic incisions and refined techniques ensure scars fade well over time. Safety is a top priority; thorough pre-surgical screenings are conducted to ensure each patient is a suitable candidate for the procedure. With growing awareness around health and body positivity, the popularity of tummy tucks is rising. Post-pandemic, people are focusing more on wellness and self-care, and reconstructive procedures like this one are increasingly seen as part of that journey. The monsoon and early winter months are ideal for recovery, making now a great time to plan your transformation. If you're struggling with loose skin, discomfort, or the feeling that your body doesn't reflect your hard work, a tummy tuck might be the solution. At Handa Aesthetics, you're not just another case; you're a story we commit to, from the first consultation to the final result. Schedule your consultation today and take the first step toward the body you deserve.

The Cascades Neopolis in Hyderabad Becomes World's Largest and India's Only Residential Project to Achieve WELL Pre-Certification
VMPL Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 7: As a major boost for India's real estate aspirations to focus on residents' wellness and a matter of pride for the vibrant city of Hyderabad, The Cascades Neopolis has been awarded the WELL v2 Pre-Certification Platinum by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). This distinction makes The Cascades Neopolis both India's first and the world's largest residential development to receive this globally acclaimed recognition. While WELL is the world's first building standard to focus entirely on how our surroundings impact physical and mental health, IWBI is the global authority that develops and administers the WELL Building Standard to advance health and wellness-centric design. For the uninitiated, The Cascades Neopolis is a ₹3169-Crore 63-storey 217m tall mega residential project of GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP, a visionary joint consortium by the promoters of GHR Infra, Lakshmi Infra, and Urbanblocks Realty, which are legacy realty companies that are primarily operating in Hyderabad. How this certification matters for residents' wellbeing As part of the WELL evaluation, The Cascades Neopolis was assessed across ten inter-related concepts that directly shape occupants' well-being: air, water, nourishment, light, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials, mind, and community. The residents will experience enhanced indoor air quality through advanced filtration and ventilation systems, maximised natural light and daylight penetration, and materials carefully selected to minimise emissions and support respiratory health. Temperature and acoustic controls have been integrated to reduce stress and fatigue, and the overall layout encourages movement, mindfulness, and interactions with fellow residents. Every element of the design has been calibrated to promote a lifestyle of greater balance and vitality. Wellness-centric living standards not envisioned before in India While our country has seen commercial spaces embrace WELL principles in the past, The Cascades Neopolis has pioneered the vision for residential projects to set high standards that facilitate healthier living. The project will represent a fundamental shift in the design of residential communities, anchored not just in comfort and convenience, but also in purpose-built wellness. It is not only a testament to what's possible in today's world, but also a blueprint for how the homes of tomorrow can be built. "With a built-up area of 5.43 million square feet, more than double the size of the next-largest WELL precertified residential community, The Cascades Neopolis will likely have many first-of-its-kind accomplishments or features. Just to name a few, the project is designed to deliver 42 percent water savings through full-scale rainwater harvesting and cut annual energy use by 30 percent with solar and high-efficiency systems. During construction, 95 percent of the debris will be recycled. 30 percent of parking bays will be equipped with EV chargers--setting a new global benchmark for healthy, future-ready living," said Juzer S. Kothari, the Managing Director of Conserve Consultants (P) Ltd. (the firm that partnered with Cascades Neopolis to secure both WELL v2 Pre-Certification Platinum and IGBC Green Homes Platinum standards). "When architects, engineers, realty consultants, and sustainability experts joined forces, our goal was to reshape residential living through deep design thinking. As you step into your home, you benefit from cleaner air, abundant natural light, and thoughtfully crafted spaces for well-being--backed by WELL v2 Pre-Certification Platinum and IGBC Green Homes Platinum. The milestone underscores the project's leadership in shaping future-ready living spaces that go beyond conventional luxury, and having a vision to prioritize well-being of residents, environmental responsibility, and community-centric design," a joint statement was released from the three designated partners of the GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP, Mr. Karteesh Reddy M (representing GHR Infra), Mr. Lakshmi Narayana G (representing Lakshmi Infra), and Mr. Sharat V, (representing Urbanblocks Realty). About GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP: GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP is a dynamic joint venture formed by three seasoned developers - GHR Infra, Lakshmi Infra, and Urbanblocks Realty. Each partner brings high trust, a strong track record, and extensive expertise in Hyderabad's real estate landscape - they are collectively committed to delivering iconic and sustainable developments that redefine urban living. The launch of The Cascades, their first project, aligns perfectly with Hyderabad's impressive real estate market, particularly within the luxury segment. The project aims to be unlike no other and will be a testament to harmonious blend of luxury, technology, sustainability, and an evolved and enriching lifestyle.
