100 February 2018 www.bahrainthismonth.com marketplace ROYAL BAHRAIN HOSPITAL Love Your Legs This hospital provides the perfect solution to an unsightly condition that women often complain about. Spider or thread veins are thin red or purple blood vessels, 1-3mm in width, running close to the surface of the skin. Medically called telangiectasia, the condition affects approximately 40 per cent of women. It is different from varicose veins, which are larger and run deeper within the skin. The causes are heredity, weight gain, prolonged standing or sitting, the use of certain medications (like oral contraceptives and chemotherapy), constrictive clothing, pregnancy, liver cirrhosis and hormonal shifts caused by puberty, birth control pills, menopause and hormone therapy. Facial thread veins can also be caused by tight-fitting glasses, squeezing spots, smoking and over-exposure to the sun, wind and cold. The Nd YAG laser is most widely used to treat this problem. It emits a specialised light, which passes through the skin and is absorbed by the haemoglobin in the unwanted vessels. This light energy is converted into thermal energy, and the heat coagulates the blood, destroying the function of the vein. Over time, the vein is reabsorbed into the body and is no longer visible. One procedure is often sufficient to achieve complete results; severe cases may require two or three treatments, approximately six weeks apart. Dr Reeti Malhotra, aesthetic dermatologist, and Dr Ramesh P, plastic and reconstructive surgeon, at the Royal Aesthetic Centre, Royal Bahrain Hospital (RBH), are experts to consult for more information on the matter. RBH provides affordable, safe and competent care to its patients, in keeping with the highest international standards. It has been recognised by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI) and accredited with the ‘diamond status’ by Bahrain’s National Health Regulatory Authority.

Coda Jazz Lounge, located at the Atiram Premier Hotel, is the brainchild of DJ, event organiser and entrepreneur Damian D’Costa, who has brought this popular concept from the high-end nightlife scene of Europe and the US to Bahrain. The outlet has a unique design that resonates with this musical genre. Coda Jazz Lounge opened its doors to the public in December 2016 and, since then, has hosted the island’s crème de la crème, who appreciate good music, food and drinks in an ambience like no other. The upmarket venue has made its mark as one of Bahrain’s most exclusive and classy night spots. Dihann Moore and the SheGroove Band from New York perform at the outlet five nights a week, supported by DJ Danzel John, who plays the best in disco, jazz, soul and funk. The entertainment is fantastic – perfect for a mature, sophisticated audience. The interiors have been designed around a special sound system for guests to experience live melodies, just like at a concert, but with the benefit of socialising comfortably. The New York-styled bistro menu is of the highest quality and has been designed by a top chef from Manhattan. The cocktail list has been carefully curated to keep the classic feel with a modern twist, at extremely competitive prices. The friendly service is top-notch, receiving excellent reviews from customers. The lounge hosts exciting theme nights throughout the week, apart from Sundays. On Mondays enjoy a two-course meal inclusive of unlimited grape for BD15 per person or get 50 per cent discount on the à la carte menu.
