About Adult Vaccinations
Why I Take Adult Vaccinations Seriously
Most people think vaccines are just for kids, but honestly, that's not true. I stick to science, not trends, and I see every day how staying updated with adult immunizations keeps people out of trouble later. My team and I get these shots ourselves - it's about staying healthy, not just fixing things when they go wrong.
Vaccines I Strongly Recommend
- HPV vaccine for adults: This one’s a game changer. It’s not just about cervical cancer - it also protects against throat, anal, and penile cancers, plus genital warts. I’ve taken it myself. Works best before sexual activity starts, but still useful for anyone sexually active.
- Shingles prevention for seniors: Shingles is brutal, especially after 50. The pain can last for months. If you’re over 50 or have a weak immune system, this vaccine is a must.
- Hepatitis E vaccination in Mumbai: Living in Mumbai, eating out is part of life, but Hep E is no joke. It can mess up your liver, cause hair fall, and leave you feeling wiped out. My whole team gets this shot.
- Annual flu shot for working adults: Not just about avoiding the flu. It keeps you from getting knocked out for weeks, and even helps with things like hair fall and dull skin that come after viral infections.
Other Vaccines I Offer
Depending on your health and lifestyle, I also suggest shots for Hepatitis A & B, typhoid, pneumococcal, and meningococcal diseases. Skipping these just delays your protection. I’m all about making sure you stay healthy, not just today, but for years ahead.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Rickson. Skin and hair is my jam, but honestly, half my time’s spent swapping notes with docs from Seoul to Surat, and laughing way too much with my team. Sunday science sessions, chai, and a bit of nerding out over the latest laser stuff - that’s my vibe. Sometimes I test anti-aging facials on myself, sometimes I let AI roast me with cartoons. Life’s too short to be too serious.
My Work
Skin and Hair Treatments - I handle everything from psoriasis treatment to advanced laser therapy for skin and evidence-based hair loss solutions.
Science-First Approach - No miracle cures. Only treatments that work, backed by solid research and data.
Right Tools, Right Results - We’ve got a big arsenal of lasers. It’s knowing how to use them for every skin tone that matters.
Partnership for Results - Good skin isn’t instant. We work together, build trust, and focus on real, lasting changes.
