NEW DELHI: PRIVÉ LUXE Skin and Wellness Clinic, the luxury wellness space founded by celebrated dermatologists and cosmetologist Dr. Amit Bhasin and Dr. Aarti Bhasin, has announced the grand opening of its second clinic at Vasant Vihar, Delhi. The new space marks a bold evolution in the clinic’s vision, offering not just skincare but a transformative, holistic approach to health and beauty rooted in science, empathy, and results.

The new clinic introduces India’s first authentic Korean PDRN + Exosome therapy, a regenerative treatment that is rapidly gaining popularity across Asia for its ability to heal damaged skin, improve texture, and deeply hydrate at a cellular level. PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), derived from salmon DNA, is renowned for its skin-repairing and rejuvenating properties. Combined with Exosomes—nano-sized messengers rich in growth factors and peptides—this treatment provides extraordinary results in skin regeneration, collagen stimulation, pigmentation reduction, and anti-ageing.

“At PRIVÉ luxe, we believe true luxury lies in feeling your best—inside and out,” says Dr. Amit Bhasin, Managing Director of PRIVÉ Luxe and a leading voice in Indian dermatology. “PDRN + Exosomes represent a breakthrough in skin healing, and we are proud to be the first in India to introduce the authentic Korean formulation. My expertise has always focused on achieving results that enhance one’s natural features—subtle, refined, and true to everyone’s unique beauty.”

Dr. Aarti Bhasin, CEO, PRIVÉ Luxe, added, “What makes PRIVÉ special is the way we combine precision with empathy. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every individual’s skin tells a story, and our role is to listen carefully before deciding how best to support it. PDRN fits beautifully into this philosophy — it is gentle, effective, and works in harmony with the skin rather than overpowering it. We are proud to be the first to introduce it in India, the way it is meant to be experienced.”

Privé Skin Clinic goes beyond conventional dermatological services by embracing a philosophy rooted in holistic wellness. Rooted in the belief that external radiance stems from internal balance, the clinic’s Skin & Wellness philosophy combines advanced dermatological treatments with clinical dietetics, physiotherapy, psychology, Ayurveda, internal medicine, and even aesthetic plastic surgery. Each patient’s journey is mapped with intention, addressing not just visible symptoms but also the deeper, often overlooked causes, ranging from hormonal imbalances to gut health and emotional well-being.

Staying true to its ethos of elegance and restraint, PRIVÉ delivers refined, natural-looking results that focus on restoration, not transformation. Every treatment, whether a regenerative facial, laser therapy, injectables, or advanced anti-aging solution, is thoughtfully selected to enhance one’s features while preserving individuality. Signature offerings include HydraFacial MD, Glass Glow Facials, Skin Boosters like Hyaluronic Acid and Polynucleotides, laser resurfacing, Morpheus8, Baby Botox, PRP, and IV therapies. Blending the latest medical innovations with an aesthetic eye, PRIVÉ ensures that every procedure is grounded in intention, prioritizing subtle enhancements, long-term skin health, and the patient’s unique goals.

The launch of the new clinic is not just a milestone for the brand but a testament to a growing shift in how wellness is being perceived in India. With its compassionate, science-backed, and artistically guided approach, PRIVÉ Luxe is leading a new movement—one that embraces natural beauty, emotional healing, and personalized care. For those seeking authentic transformation and lasting results in a truly luxurious environment, PRIVÉ Luxe is more than a clinic—it is a sanctuary for self-renewal.

Down Syndrome, a genetic condition resulting from an extra chromosome, impacts cognitive ability, and physical growth, and heightens health risks. Individuals with Down Syndrome often exhibit characteristic features like upslanting eyes, low muscle tone, seizures, and attention difficulties, alongside a shorter stature and small hands and feet.

In India, prenatal screening options such as Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) and Amniocentesis are available post-15 weeks of pregnancy to detect Down Syndrome. Despite advancements in testing, managing Down Syndrome has evolved slowly. While challenges persist, families and organizations increasingly embrace individuals with Down Syndrome, integrating them into everyday life.

Early intervention programs are paramount for children with Down Syndrome. Physical therapy aids motor skill development and enhances movement and posture, while speech-language therapy improves communication. Occupational therapy assists in daily tasks, and emotional/behavioral therapy addresses behavioral challenges, facilitating a better quality of life.

As individuals with Down Syndrome age, regular healthcare screenings become imperative due to a higher risk of medical conditions. Annual check-ups aid in early detection and intervention, promoting overall well-being.

India boasts numerous support groups and centers offering assistance to individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. Counseling services and educational resources help families navigate the unique challenges associated with raising a child with Down Syndrome.

Social inclusion remains a significant hurdle for individuals with Down Syndrome. Misunderstanding and lack of awareness often lead to exclusion and bullying. Slower cognitive abilities can impede educational and employment opportunities, underscoring the need for enhanced support and understanding.

To promote greater awareness and understanding in the community, awareness campaigns, workshops, and seminars are vital. Providing support and resources to families and promoting social integration fosters inclusivity and acceptance.

Recent advancements in research offer hope for individuals with Down Syndrome. Studies into vaccines, drugs, and hormone therapies aim to enhance cognitive performance and overall well-being.

Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in advocating for the Down Syndrome community. Educating families, facilitating early intervention, and promoting integration into society are essential steps toward fostering inclusivity.

Looking ahead, improving the quality of life for individuals with Down Syndrome requires widespread awareness and support. Advocating for inclusivity and providing resources for families are key to creating a more accepting and inclusive society.

Let us reaffirm our commitment to supporting individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. Embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity enriches our communities and fosters a more compassionate and understanding society. Together, let us strive to create a world where everyone is valued and included, regardless of their abilities.

PUNE: “Mental issues, instability, and stress among the young and old have increased a lot post the Covid-19 pandemic. Parents and teachers are repeatedly complaining about children’s increased restlessness, lack of sitting, and concentration in studies. In order to increase stability and attentiveness through a concept like chess therapy has become an absolute necessity” said Vivek Velankar, an education expert.

The concept of ‘chess therapy’ by Velankar Chess Institute was inaugurated by Vivek Velankar at Patrakar Sangh recently. Makarand Velankar, chess coach and director of Velankar Chess Institute, Prakash Kunte, father of Grandmaster Abhijit Kunte, and Sonam Thakur, chess coach, were present at the event.

While talking about the idea behind this activity, Makarand Velankar said, “Good mental health naturally draws positive effects on the other activities we do. It also helps in building confidence and hopes to succeed in an I-can-win attitude. Many parents say that children are stubborn, impulsive, and hyperactive. Due to the inability to sit for long, their intelligence is underutilized. Many children face nervousness, think negatively, and have depression. Because of the increased screen time and lack of determination, parents are really worried about their children being slow learners. Therefore, chess therapy can turn out to be beneficial for such issues.”

Makarand Velankar also said, “Along with this, chess therapy can also help in finding a way out of high work pressure. By practicing this game, one’s forgetful behavior can be kept away. Seniors can also highly benefit from chess therapy.”

Giving more details about the therapy, Sonam Thakur said, “This is not a therapy to create players but a focus on the personality development of the students. We have prepared a suitable plan for each student. This therapy is arranged in three steps as the course of three months. This period can also be extended if necessary.”

Thakur also mentioned that it is their aim to make every person chess literate. And through this game, they will also direct the students to work on their weaknesses.

Makarand Velankar, who introduced the idea of chess therapy, has been a chess coach, coordinator, and broadcaster for the last thirty years. He completed his M. Phil in “Good Impact of Chess on Children, family, and Society” and has created this special model of chess therapy from all these experiences. His colleague Sonam Thakur is a chess coach, state arbiter, and official coach of MCA’s ‘chess in school’ initiative.
