Evidence-Based Skin and Hair Care
I don't believe in miracle cures or complex ten-step routines. My approach is simple science: diagnose the root cause, treat with proven methods, and maintain consistent care.
This is a look at the process of melanocyte transfer, a surgical procedure for stable vitiligo. We take healthy, color-producing cells from one area of the body and transplant them to the white patches. The final frame shows the remarkable repigmentation achieved for this patient, demonstrating how we can restore skin color with advanced surgical techniques.
In this video, I explain cryotherapy for treating viral warts. This procedure uses liquid nitrogen at an extremely cold temperature to freeze and destroy virus-infected cells without needles. It is a safe and effective treatment I often use for warts on the palms, soles, and genital areas, suitable for both adults and children.
I often use the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for pigmentation issues like dark spots, melasma, and blemishes. This technology works by targeting and breaking down excess melanin pigment deep in the skin, which the body then clears away. It is a precise and effective way to achieve a clearer, more even skin tone.
This video documents a patient's seven-month journey to treat a persistent fungal nail infection. Nail treatments require patience, but with consistent, medically-sound care, we can achieve healthy nail regrowth, which is especially important for patients preparing for a significant life event like a wedding.
Finding the root cause of a skin issue is critical. This patient had persistent facial redness from using multiple products. We performed an allergic patch test, applying common allergens to the skin, and identified a specific fragrance and a sunscreen ingredient as the culprits, allowing us to create a targeted and effective treatment plan.
Hear directly from a patient about his experience with skin tag removal. I use a procedure called radiofrequency ablation, which is a quick and simple way to remove these growths, often with just a numbing cream. Patient satisfaction is the most important measure of my work.
Beyond the clinic, I believe in sharing knowledge. Here I am conducting a seminar for NEET aspirants and their parents, mentoring the next generation of medical professionals. I feel that being a lifelong learner is essential to being a good doctor.
Skincare does not need to be complicated. I break down my philosophy into three simple, scientific steps: cleanse, protect, and repair. This video explains how to build a basic, effective routine tailored to your skin's actual needs, without the hype of trendy, multi-step regimens.

Before we jump into any procedure, I insist on a proper dermatoscopic exam to understand exactly what is happening at the cellular level. Whether you are dealing with persistent pigmentation or recurring skin tags, we do not rely on guesswork. We diagnose first, and then build a treatment plan based on what your skin actually needs.
In my practice at Therapeia, I have one rule: if it is not backed by science, we do not do it. Whether you are dealing with acne, vitiligo, or hair thinning, the journey to healthy skin starts with a proper diagnosis, not a trending product.
At my Basavanagudi clinic, we combine modern technology with tried-and-tested methods. For pigmentation and uneven skin tone, I often use Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to target melanin deep in the dermis. For viral warts, cryotherapy allows us to treat the issue effectively without the need for invasive surgery or needles. I also handle more complex cases, such as surgical repigmentation for stable vitiligo, using melanocyte transfer to restore skin color.
But treatment is only half the battle. I spend time helping patients simplify their daily habits to Cleanse, Protect, and Repair. If your current skincare is causing redness or irritation, we use patch testing to identify the specific culprits, be it a fragrance or a common sunscreen ingredient. We keep it realistic—results take time, and consistency is the only real 'miracle' cure. Whether you are coming in for a consultation or an advanced procedure, expect an honest, professional, and patient-first approach.
