About Medical Dermatology & Hair Treatments
I keep things simple and honest when it comes to your skin and hair. I know there’s a lot of confusion thanks to all the info floating around, so my focus is on clear, science-backed advice that actually fits you—not just what’s trending.
My Way of Working
- No cookie-cutter solutions here. I always start with a detailed consultation to really get to the root of what’s going on, whether that’s acne, pigmentation, or hair fall.
- Expect a mix of approaches: at-home care plus in-clinic treatments. For tough stuff like acne scars or melasma, combining options (think chemical peels for acne scars and microneedling) usually gives the best results.
- Sticking to your plan—especially daily routines—is what keeps things improving.
What I Treat Most
- Acne & Scars: From random breakouts to stubborn marks, I treat all kinds, including treatment for hormonal acne and sudden pimples. I use peels, injections, and sometimes RF microneedling for deeper scars.
- Pigmentation Issues: Patchy tone, dark spots, or lip pigmentation? I dig into the cause first, then use advanced pigmentation correction with customized creams or lasers.
- Hair Loss: Hair thinning is tough, but I offer honest advice and only evidence-based fixes. PRP hair restoration and topical solutions can help if you’re the right fit.
What to Expect
- We’ll talk through your history, nail down the diagnosis, and set up a routine that works for your lifestyle.
- I’ll be upfront about what’s realistic—deep scars can improve a lot, but perfection isn’t always possible. Consistency is your secret weapon.

My Story
Hi, I’m Dr. Prerna Sikka. Dermatologist in Bangalore, obsessed with cutting through all the skin care noise. I studied MBBS, DDVL, and got my Aesthetic Medicine post-grad from London - all because I truly believe in science-based skincare, not magic pills. You’ll see me breaking down myths, sharing real advice, and making sure you understand your skin’s story. I love watching people’s confidence grow when their skin does.
My Work

No Magic, Only Science - I make skin plans based on real diagnosis, not trends. If you want quick fixes, sorry, not my thing.
Personalised Skincare Routine - Your skin is not like anyone else’s. I’ll figure out what suits your lifestyle and needs, and build your routine.
Consistency Wins - Skin changes only happen if we both stay consistent. That’s how my patients get real results.
