An overview of evidence-based treatments and educational insights from over 30 years of dermatological practice in Mumbai.

As a dermatologist, I often see patients making common skincare mistakes that hinder their progress. In this video, I discuss three frequent errors, including over-exfoliating a damaged skin barrier and expecting overnight results. My approach is rooted in patience and a correct, personalized diagnosis to achieve lasting skin health.

Here I am addressing an assembly of plastic surgeons at the Aesurg 2026 conference. My lecture focused on the foundational principles of skincare, emphasizing how pre and post-surgical topical care, including barrier protection and anti-inflammatory protocols, is critical for optimizing surgical outcomes and accelerating healing.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) manifests with distinct cutaneous symptoms due to hormonal imbalances. This educational video explains the connection between elevated androgens, insulin resistance, and resulting conditions like cystic acne and hirsutism. My 360-degree approach integrates medical dermatology with lifestyle and hormonal management for comprehensive care.

I am pleased to introduce the Dermapen, a state-of-the-art microneedling device, to my practice. This procedure enhances the delivery of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and exosomes, stimulating collagen and improving skin texture, tone, and radiance with minimal downtime. It is an excellent modality for treating acne scars and early signs of aging.

My annual participation at the IMCAS World Congress in Paris is essential for my commitment to continuous learning. This year, I presented on the dualism of Biostimulation and Biomodulation, exploring regenerative modalities that harness the body's own cellular processes to repair and strengthen the skin. This ensures my patients receive treatments that are at the forefront of global dermatological science.

A common misconception is that sunscreen is only necessary on sunny days. This infographic clarifies that damaging UV radiation penetrates clouds and glass, making daily broad-spectrum SPF application a non-negotiable component of any skincare regimen for preventing photoaging and hyperpigmentation, even when indoors.

I am proud to share our published work in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. This paper, a consensus by the Indian Sunscreen Forum, provides crucial, evidence-based recommendations on sunscreen use tailored specifically for the Indian population, addressing our unique dermatological needs and environmental factors.

The monsoon season's high humidity presents unique challenges for skin and hair, such as increased oiliness and frizz. In this video, I provide practical, dermatologist-approved advice on adjusting your regimen, including using lightweight, gel-based products and the continued importance of sunscreen, to maintain skin balance and hair manageability.
