The world’s oldest surviving system of natural medicine ayurveda offers the skin the best treatment. Skin isn’t just a dead layer covering our body, it is the body’s largest organ and its most sensitive.

Healthy living makes healthy skin. Beauty problems such as acne, dark-circles under the eye, and puffiness can be reflection of internal imbalances over the year, the skin care industry has evolved from merely pampering senses to offering treatments that are technologically and technically advanced.

Ayurveda is an ancient healing modality that dates back more than, 5,000 years. The traditional medicine practice hails from the Indian subcontinent, but today it is widely practiced around the world, renowned for its health benefits and ability to promote well being to aid body, mind and skin. Dr. Shanika Arcscularatne MD of Christell Skin Clinic is no stranger to the medical beauty business. Following her mother’s footsteps, Dr. Shanika gave up a lucrative career in the government medical centre and ventured into cosmetic medicine.

According to Dr. Shanika, the characteristic of good skin are the texture, tone, evenness and brightness. She has started this new venture providing Sri Lankans with the best aesthetic and holistic therapies in the Chrysteli clinic.

“Our brand Chrystell is a reflection of luxurious services that we strive to offer. Skin care haircare, anti aging treatments are some of the treatments we offer’ said Dr Shanika, There are many competitors in this field,but Dr Shanika’s popularity is due to the correct procedures excecuted for her clients in a professional matter.

At the Christell Skin Clinic, this new exciting portfolio of professional skin and body treatments with Ayurveda Wellness promises a holistic, physical and psychological wellness experiences, combining the ancient traditions of Ayurveda with the sciences of modern integrative medicine said Dr Shanika

She believes the world’s oldest forms of healing, Ayurveda is rooted in the belief that the body should be detoxified of all impurities -external and internal- in order to attain a state of complete wellbeing.

She says the new line of treatments is designed to help clients achieve a truly transformative mind, body and spirit experience; one that promises renewed energy, a relaxed body, and relief from persistent ailments.

Why did Christell clinic start auruveda?

As a western medical practitioner we use the newest technologies and Medicines to treat a patient. But sometimes the root cause needs to be addressed in a more holistic way rather than just by popping pills. For example some patients come to me to treat acne which we successfully do. But if the root causes stress, rather than giving them Tablets for this we do Ayurvedic medical destress treatments, which would give a complete cure .

How will skin clinic Christell go hand in hand with auruvedic medicine?

Our goal is to make people beautiful INSIDE OUT through sustainable holistic medical wellness therapies. while we use the modern medical technologies and medicine to treat a certain condition , we will use the medical sciences of Ayurveda to amplify its benefits so we don’t use pills to solve every little thing.

All treatments from the Christell Luxury Ayurveda Wellness menu are carefully designed and overseen by the Christell Skin Clinic’s certified Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery specialists. Following an initial consultation to determine each client’s individual Prakthri (body constitution) and Dosha (body humours), a personalised treatment plant is also formulated, to be carried out a team of trained therapists.

In accordance our principles, female clients will be attended by clinic’s female therapists, and male clients by male therapists.

Christell Luxury Ayurveda Wellness offers a broad portfolio of nourishing and healing body treatments, including those that promote reduced inflammation and overall skin hydration, skin nourishment and improved complexion, body exfoliation for glowing complexion, weight loss, skin cleansing, and improved blood circulation. The new menu also includes relaxing and tension-relieving massages and therapies to treat recurring back pains, neck, shoulder, and head massages, as well as other stress relief and curative joint pain treatments. Of the face treatments offered are face massages, herbal face masks, and various other procedures for dry skin and skin discoloration.

“Sri Lankans have a tendency to lean towards all things traditional, and irrespective of the many Western treatments that have seemingly surpassed this ancient science, Ayurveda has withstood the test of time, as an effective holistic healing system for many of our modern-day afflictions,” said Prof. Ramani Arsecularatne, . “With Christell Luxury Ayurveda Wellness, we hope to offer a certified alternative for those looking to find health and wellness solutions outside of, or even in tandem with Western treatments.”

Prof. Arsecularatne and Dr Shanika with many years of experience, together with a trained team of skincare therapists and consultants, employ only US FDA approved technologies and treatments to incorporate a menu of scientifically proven and holistic procedures; from modest BOTOX to exclusive dermal therapies, and laser skin rejuvenation treatments to non-surgical body contouring and toning. Since its founding, the cosmetology and luxury wellness clinic has expanded its services by opening a full-service salon and beauty clinic, Christell-Cutting Station at One Galle Face shopping centre, in collaboration with The Cutting Station. Christell Skin Clinic now also currently operates in the Maldives too, and has also opened the internationally-acclaimed Elixir Clinic’s first global franchise here in Sri Lanka.
