Durdans Hospital, one of Sri Lanka's first Joint Commission International (JCI) approved hospitals, opened an ultra-modern cosmetic care centre, 'Enhance' on Wednesday.

Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. T. Sabesan said, "Beauty is something that everyone desires. It is also something that everyone possesses. At 'Enhance' our aim is to help patients reveal their true beauty. Our experienced consultants, surgeons and nursing teams are trained and equipped to handle the largest variety of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic care procedures that will be available at the facility."

'Enhance' has a wide array of services ranging from basic skin care, anti-aging treatment, hair reduction therapy, body toning and contouring, facial rejuvenation surgery, facial contouring surgery, aesthetic and cosmetic medical procedures and cosmetic surgical procedures.

"At the skin care clinic dermatologists will identify the specific root causes for age-old dermatological problems such as acne and pimples, stretch marks and open pores and thereafter, provide a permanent solution," he said.

For those who wish to take a step further, facial rejuvenation and facial contouring surgeries such as a face lift, facial implants, chin shaping (genioplasty), lip shaping (cheiloplasty), nose shaping (rhinoplasty) and ear shaping (ptoplasty) could also be arranged.

'Enhance' will help patients to reshape their body and regain confidence under the more complex cosmetic surgical category.

For many people how they look determines how they feel both physically and emotionally.

The Clinic will enhance how people look and feel. Director Medical Services, Dr Wimal Jayantha said, "Durdans Hospital is pleased to introduce a Cosmetic Care Clinic, which is supported by skilled clinicians and guided by the highest international standards for health and safety of patients."
