Marengo Asia Hospitals Elevates Orthopaedic Care With The Onboarding of World Renowned Dr. K.C. Mehta
VMPL New Delhi [India], May 29: Elevating its orthopaedic capabilities, Marengo Asia Hospitals has onboarded prominent orthopaedic surgeon Dr. K.C. Mehta at its flagship Marengo CIMS Hospital in Ahmedabad. The onboarding was officially announced at an event by Dr. Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, Managing Director & Group CEO of Marengo Asia Hospitals. "Marengo Asia Hospitals has a legacy of treating patients like family members. The onboarding of Dr. K.C. Mehta at Marengo CIMS Hospital further strengthens our commitment to outcome-driven care, especially in one of the most demanding and complex surgical specialities," said Dr. Singhal. According to Dr. Singhal, Marengo Asia Hospitals has carved a distinctive reputation in successful heart and liver transplants and works closely with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. Dr. K.C. Mehta is globally acclaimed for thousands of successful knee replacement surgeries and holds ten global patents across the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. He is regarded as one of the most renowned figures in cruciate-retaining high-flex knee replacement surgeries, which allow for enhanced mobility and quicker recovery. Orthopaedic disorders, particularly joint-related issues, are witnessing a rapid rise across the globe due to ageing populations, sedentary lifestyles, and increasing obesity. In India too, the demand for joint replacement surgeries has risen significantly over the past decade. On the cost front, according to Dr. Mehta, a knee replacement surgery costs anywhere between INR 3 lakh to 10 lakh, depending on the level of care and facilities chosen. He also asserts that some of the world's best doctors are Indians and that the Indian healthcare system is fully equipped to offer world-class treatments. "Some of the best doctors in the world are Indians. In this context, inviting doctors from abroad for procedures that can be effectively and safely performed here by highly skilled surgeons may not be necessary," opines Dr. Mehta. Recently, Dr. Mehta became the first surgeon in the West Zone of India to implant the advanced BPK-S Ceramic Knee from Peter Brehm, Germany. This ceramic knee is recognised for its outstanding properties such as minimal polywear and high resistance to infection, making it a breakthrough in orthopaedic implant technology. Moreover, he is also the first surgeon in the Asia Pacific region to use the Attune All Poly knee implant, leading orthopaedic advancements in India. Operating four state-of-the-art hospitals in India, Marengo Asia Hospitals boasts a total capacity of 1,500 beds, supported by a team of 600 highly proficient doctors. The group serves patients from over 50 countries, including the UK, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, and is setting new benchmarks in the healthcare segment.

The secret to men's glowing skin: is simplicity the key to skincare success?
Social media is abuzz with the 'wash your face like a man' trend, a hilarious and relatable commentary on men's minimalist hygiene. Image: Tima Miroshnichenko/pexels Let's face it, skincare can feel unfair. Women often spend countless hours (and thousands of rands) perfecting 10-step routines, only to battle persistent breakouts, dryness and frustration. Meanwhile, men slap on a bar of soap meant for their face, their body and their hair and somehow walk away with glowing skin. The absurdity of this imbalance has sparked a viral conversation online, with millions of users poking fun at the simplicity of male grooming habits and questioning how this 'one-bar miracle' even works. Now, a viral trend: 'Wash your face like a man' has social media is abuzz with hilarious and relatable commentary on men's minimalist hygiene. It all started when Instagram creator Martha shared a video demonstrating how men aggressively scrub their faces with just soap and water and still manage to have clear skin. The video, now boasting over 4.3 million views, resonated deeply as women everywhere chimed in with disbelief and humour. Here are some of the responses to the viral video: 'Men treat their face like a car windshield and still have perfect skin.' 'My man uses dish soap and has the nerve to glow.' 'Why do they wash their eyeballs so aggressively?' While the trend delivers plenty of laughs, it also raises a serious question: why does this low-maintenance routine work for some and is it actually healthy for your skin? The truth about soap and skin According to dermatologists, the soap-and-go lifestyle isn't as universally effective as it appears. What works for one person's skin might wreak havoc on another's. 1. Soap strips natural oils Speaking to the "Hindustan Times", Dr Anil KV Minz, a senior dermatologist at Marengo Asia Hospitals, explained that regular soap can strip the skin of its natural oils. 'While some people with normal skin may get away with using soap, it can cause dryness and irritation, particularly in sensitive areas like the beard, ears and eyebrows,' he said. For individuals with dry skin, eczema or allergies, soap can aggravate existing issues. Even those with oily skin might experience dryness and irritation if soap is overused. 2. Soap disrupts your skin's pH balance Most soaps are alkaline, while our skin naturally prefers a slightly acidic pH of 5.5. When you use soap on your face, it can disrupt the skin's natural pH balance. This disruption can weaken the skin's protective barrier, leading to dryness, tightness, redness, or even more breakouts over time. Differently, facial cleansers are specifically formulated to be gentle, maintaining the skin's natural pH while still removing dirt and oil. The viral trend might make it seem like men's minimalism is the secret to flawless skin but dermatologists agree: that skincare isn't one-size-fits-all. Some men with naturally oily or resilient skin might be able to handle soap without issue, especially in hot and humid climates. But for most people especially those with dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin soap alone can cause long-term damage. The key is tailoring your skincare to your skin type and lifestyle. A simple routine doesn't have to involve 10 steps or need to break the bank. Even adding a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser can make a world of difference. Why some men's skin 'glows' effortlessly So, why do men often seem to have better skin despite their low-effort routines? Martha demonstrating how men aggressively scrub their faces with just soap and water and still manage to have clear skin. Image: Screenshot/instagram Experts suggest a few reasons: 1. Thicker skin: Men's skin is about 25% thicker than women's, thanks to testosterone. This makes it more resilient to environmental damage. 2. Higher oil production: Men's sebaceous glands produce more oil, which naturally moisturises the skin and helps maintain its glow. 3. Simple routines: Minimalism might actually help. Using fewer products means fewer chances of irritation from harsh ingredients or over-exfoliation. The humour of the 'wash your face like a man' trend underscores an important point: skincare is deeply personal. While men's low-maintenance routines might work for them, many people especially women need more care to keep their skin healthy and comfortable.

'Wash your face like a man' trend is hilarious but here's what experts say
A new trend on social media called "wash your face like a man" is getting millions of views and laughs. It started when Instagram creator Martha posted a video on Instagram showing how men often wash their faces with just soap and water and still have clear skin. Meanwhile, many women use multiple skincare products every day and still struggle with skin problems. The video, which has over 4.3 million views, has sparked a lot of discussion about skincare routines and what really works. The internet is also finding it hilarious, with comments like 'Why do they wash their eyeballs so aggressively?' and 'When I use this method, my skin looks so good tho.' Others joked, 'Men treat their face like a car windshield and still have perfect skin,' and 'My man uses dish soap and has the nerve to glow.' A post shared by Girls (@girls) So what's the truth behind this trend? Are men's simple routines enough or is there more to the story? A post shared by Chitra Sharma (@thecrankbrown) Experts explain why washing your face with just soap might not be the best idea for everyone. Dr Anil KV Minz, a senior dermatologist at Marengo Asia Hospitals in Faridabad, says that regular soap might be fine for people with normal skin but it can cause problems for those with dry or sensitive skin. 'Normal soaps can strip away natural oils from the skin,' he explains. This can leave some areas like the beard, ears, and eyebrows dry and irritated. People with dry skin, eczema, or allergies should be especially careful. Even people with normal skin can benefit from simple skincare tailored to their skin type and the season. Dr Minz adds that expensive treatments are not always necessary. Taking good care of your skin with the right products can make a big difference. Dr Harsimran Kaur, a consultant dermatologist and medical advisor at Kaya Limited, explains that most soaps are alkaline while our skin prefers to be slightly acidic, with a pH of about 5.5. 'When you use soap on your face, it can disrupt the skin's natural pH balance,' she says. This can cause dryness, tightness, redness, and even more breakouts over time. Facial cleansers are designed to be gentle and match the skin's natural pH, so they clean without damaging the skin's protective barrier. Some people with oily skin might be able to use soap occasionally, especially in hot and humid weather, because their skin produces more oil. But even oily skin can become dry and irritated if harsh soaps are used too often. If you have dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin, it is best to avoid using regular soap on your face. Instead, choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type. This will help keep your skin balanced and healthy without stripping away natural oils. The 'wash your face like a man' trend is funny and relatable, but it also reminds us that skincare is not one size fits all. Men's simple routines may work for some, but many people need more care to keep their skin healthy and comfortable. The key is understanding your skin and choosing products that support its needs.
