About Acne & Scar Management
I know how much acne and scars can mess with your confidence. After decades as a dermatologist, I've seen it all - from stubborn breakouts to scars that just won't fade. My approach is simple: treat acne early, and don't let scars become permanent.
Tackling Active Acne
First, we need to get your acne under control. Most breakouts come from hormonal changes, genetics, or lifestyle stuff like tight clothes and leftover hair conditioner. Body acne solutions are often about fixing these habits. And please, don’t pick or squeeze pimples - that’s the fastest way to get scars.
Dealing with Scars & Marks
Once the breakouts calm down, we focus on what’s left behind. This includes pitted scars, hyperpigmentation after acne, and rough skin texture. Clinical treatments are way more effective than home remedies here.
My Treatment Style
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Your plan starts with a proper consultation. Sometimes it’s prescription meds, sometimes it’s advanced stuff like microneedling for acne scars, subcision, lasers, or injectables. These boost collagen and help fill scars, smooth skin, and fade marks.
What Actually Works
No magic fixes. Consistency is everything. I’ll help you find the right plan, but you need to stick with it. Patience pays off, and together, we’ll aim for skin you can feel good about.

My Story
Hi, I’m Dr. Deepika. Thirty years as a dermatologist, mostly in Juhu, now also in Worli – finally, folks, you can stop asking! Mangaluru is home, always. Namaskara matergla, special shoutout to my Tulu family. Sun there, it’s harsh, I know – nekku upay undu (there’s a fix). My mom’s skin changed too. I love teaching, learning, celebrating, but breaks? Eh, never enough. But seeing you smile – best part of my job.
My Work
Skin & Hair Solutions - I handle acne, pigmentation, hair loss, plus offer HIFU face contouring, chemical-free laser bleach, and more.
Explaining the Why - I break down treatments, explain what’s happening, and help you pick what fits you best.
Honest Results - No magic – some things aren’t permanent. I keep it real about what works and what doesn’t.
Quality & Safety First - Only top products and tech like ULTRAcel Q+ and Erbium glass lasers. I don’t compromise.
Stick With It - Results need time, especially for scars. Continuity matters. We’ll see it through together.
