Exosome therapy harnesses tiny cell messengers to repair and rejuvenate the skin. Often applied with microneedling, exosomes deliver growth factors that boost collagen production and healing for a youthful complexion. In 2025, this cutting-edge treatment is trending as a natural way to achieve youthful skin without surgery.
Thread lifts offer a mini-facelift without surgery. Doctors insert dissolvable threads under the skin to lift sagging areas and spur collagen production. The result is an instant lift plus gradual firming as the threads dissolve. In 2025, this quick procedure is popular for achieving a firmer, refreshed look with minimal downtime.

Skin boosters are ultra-light injectables designed to hydrate and brighten the skin rather than add volume. Using soft hyaluronic formulations, they are placed shallowly to give a dewy 'glass skin' glow. In 2025, these glow-giving microinjections, such as SkinVive, have gone mainstream as people seek radiant, healthy-looking skin.
Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries – remains a top trend in 2025. Those controlled pinpricks trigger the skin's healing process and collagen renewal, improving fine lines, scars, and texture with little downtime. New 'supercharged' versions pair microneedling with radiofrequency energy or exosome serums for even greater skin-smoothing results.

Similar to exosomes but built from DNA fragments (mainly salmon sperm), PN injections hydrate deep layers of skin and stimulate fibroblasts. They excel at smoothing crepey skin and reducing sun damage, making them a popular treatment, the results of which show after a few sessions.
Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid gels) restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. The new skin-forward approach favours minor tweaks to subtly enhance the appearance over the outdated, overfilled 'pillow face' look. New filler formulas and strategic, minimal injections refresh one's features without obvious work, aligning with the 'less is more' aesthetic.

Popularly called Botox or Dysport, the classic wrinkle smoother never goes out of style. It not only smoothens wrinkles, but it can also slim down the nose and muscles in the jawline to give it a slimmer appearance. It can also be used to reduce bulky shoulder and calf muscles. It even works for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. This has resulted in a high demand for muscle-relaxing injections.

Drinks, desserts, stir-fries: Yuzu is having its moment
Matcha exotic fingers with yuzu Yuzu blueberry tart Earlier this year, yuzu – a staple in Japanese and Korean cuisines – was named the flavour of 2025 by a company that provides flavouring products. No wonder then that the vibrant citrusy fruit with notes of mandarin, grapefruit and lemon is finding its 'it' moment across cuisines, including Indian. Dubai-based executive pastry chef Rajkumar Kalal says, 'Yuzu's intense citrus flavour is a hit among food connoisseurs as it hits that perfect tangy note, especially when incorporated in desserts like mango yuzu cheesecake, banana yuzu parfait, and raspberry yuzu petit gateaux.' Adds chef Jay Kasawlekar, 'Yuzu infuses cheesecakes, mousses, and sorbets with an unparalleled bright, tangy, and aromatic twist. Essentially, yuzu's concentrated zest and juice elevate both sweet and savoury dishes. It works great with vegetables and vegan dishes as well and is also a key ingredient in condiments like ponzu and yuzu kosho.' 'Yuzu has a bright, complex citrus flavour; it's more aromatic than normal citrus fruits. Yuzu pairs well with desserts using berries and fruits, lending a refreshing tangy flavour,' says Rajkumar Kalal, executive pastry chef. Blue pea yuzu lemonade 'Healthy, aromatic & versatile' What works for yuzu is its versatility – the peel can be used as zest to flavour cakes or frostings or sliced into strips and infused in syrups. Yuzu juice is considered an ideal replacement for lemon or lime juice in dipping sauces, brine or pickles, or even added to sparkling drinks for a citrusy sour note. Not just taste, yuzu also packs in health benefits, say experts, including potentially elevating one's mood and boosting immune health. Says sports nutritionist Pallak Shah, 'Yuzu contains antioxidants which help protect the body from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It also has a significantly higher vitamin C content than other citrus fruits.' Yuzu in traditional Japanese dishes : Light yuzu salt ramen noodles: The addition of yuzu helps balance the savoury saltiness of the delicate, flavourful broth Miso-ginger marinated grilled salmon: Drizzle yuzu juice over the miso-ginger marinated fish for a delicate, aromatic flourish to the salmon Yuzu cheesecake: It's creamy and smooth like a cheesecake with a burst of tanginess from the yuzu. It's fragrant and delicate, with a balanced flavour profile Yuzu ponzu: A dipping sauce made with yuzu, vinegar, and soy sauce – add a dash of mirin or dashi for added complexity Pair it right: Noodles (soba or udon): Yuzu zest or juice in dipping sauces enhances cold or hot noodle dishes Soy sauce & miso : Classic umami-rich pairings for yuzu in dressings, glazes, and marinades Avocado: Yuzu brightens creamy textures, great in tartare or guacamole with an Asian twist Pickled vegetables: Yuzu's floral citrus adds depth to quick pickles Savoury main course dishes : Yuzu-chilli glazed paneer or halloumi skewers, roasted cauliflower with yuzu-tahini dressing, yuzu kosho vegetable stir-fry – the options are endless Matcha: Yuzu's acidity lifts the bitterness of matcha – excellent for cakes, tarts, or ice creams White chocolate : Creamy, sweet, and citrusy – works perfectly in ganache, truffles, or mousse Vanilla & almond : Yuzu's brightness cuts through richness, enhancing custards, panna cotta, or financiers Berries: The tartness of the fruit pairs well with yuzu in compotes, glazes, or tarts Coconut: Yuzu cuts the fat in coconut-based desserts like panna cotta or sorbet Honey: Good in yuzu teas, syrups, or poached fruit desserts Green or jasmine tea: Infuses a citrus floral profile into drinks Yuzu soda, yuzu ginger fizz, yuzu mojito, yuzu cucumber sparkler or yuzu lassi : Create a variety of beverages by spotlighting yuzu juice combined with other ingredients Indian mithai with a yuzu touch : Yuzu jalebi: Mix yuzu juice and zest into the jalebi batter. Then soak the fried jalebi in a yuzu-infused sugar syrup. This balances the sweetness with the bright citrus notes Yuzu rasgulla : Adding yuzu juice to the syrup of rasgullas gives this sweet, spongy dessert a tangy flavour that pairs beautifully with its sweetness. Yuzu ghewar with rabdi : For ghewar topped with rabdi, you can infuse the rabdi with yuzu zest and the ghewar batter with yuzu juice. This can help elevate your regular ghewar to something new and exotic - Inputs by chef and food stylist Jay Kasawlekar Written by: Yashaswi Kochar One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change

From stress to self-mastery: Affirmations and conscious practices to reset your life instantly
The growing pace at which the world is moving makes it chaotic and brings physical and mental pressures, not allowing us to function with ease. Not being aligned to natural rhythms of sleeping, eating and resting mentally, we are fatigued in more than one way but it is time we outsmart the pandemic called 'stress' through easy, needful and doable steps. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Coach Samira Gupta, Executive Life and Wellness Coach, said, 'Stress isn't a setback — it's a signal for growth. Begin with the 5-Second Rule: when overwhelmed, count down 5-4-3-2-1 and take immediate action, shifting from paralysis to progress. Engage in somatic practices like body scans or mindful movement to reconnect with your body and release tension.' She recommended, 'Utilise cognitive reframing to view challenges as opportunities, asking, 'What is this teaching me?' Incorporate gratitude journaling to shift focus from stressors to strengths. These tools don't just manage stress, they harness it, transforming pressure into purpose and adversity into advantage. Embrace these practices to evolve into a resilient, self-aware leader.' Bringing her expertise to the same, Shweta Rhea Chopra, Spiritual Life Coach, shared some simple yet powerful suggestions to live consciously, combating everyday stress and leading to self mastery. 1) The moment you wake up, sit up straight on your bed for about two minutes. Bring all your attention to your heart center, connect to your being within and smile at yourself and everything out there. Thank the universe for blessing your day in the best way. Say to yourself, 'Everything in the universe supports me', announcing victory over all your endeavors. 2) Play your favourite music that elevates or inspires your spirit while dressing up. Look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'I attract blessings and fruitful outcomes and need to chase nothing'. 3) Fix 10 minutes of 'me-time' just before sleeping and write down your observations to better yourself in every area of life, be it your work or relationships. Release your worries and make little notes of communication to the divine creator with the belief that you are being heard. Only if we become as conscious of our inner grooming as we are of ourselves outwardly, life would change its pace to a much manageable one.

IBS vs IBD: Gastroenterologist shares the main differences between the two common gut conditions
Gut health is getting spotlighted in wellness conversations today, and for all the right reasons. Because of the growing discourse around it, there are a lot of remedies and superfoods for common, upset gut issues like bloating, acid reflux, or diarrhoea. But what if these gut issues are actually signs of underlying health conditions that require medical intervention, not just your go-to gut superfoods? IBS and IBD typically share very similar symptoms and may even be confused with everyday digestive issues like bloating, which commonly happens after a heavy meal. It's common to brush them off as minor issues, but they can also hint at IBS and IBD. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Anukalp Prakash, Director of Gastroenterology at CK Birla, Gurugram, shared the key differences between IBS, IBD, and their symptoms, diagnosis and treatments. He explained the basics, addressing the confusing overlap of symptoms, 'The spread of digestive health problems is on the rise, and two conditions frequently mentioned in such a context are IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). Even though the two share a common set of symptoms and both involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, they are quite distinct in causes, implications, and treatment approaches. Understanding the difference is key to effective management and future well-being. Both IBS and IBD benefit from early diagnosis to be treated most effectively and with the best long-term prognosis.' Dr Anukalp Prakash shared a detailed guide with HT Lifestyle, distinguishing the key differences between IBS and IBD, along with treatment pathways: ALSO READ: Tired of chronic constipation?
