About Dermatology Consultations & Minor Procedures
My Philosophy
Namaskara matergla (Hello everyone). I’m Deepika Shetty, and I’ve been working as a dermatologist for over three decades. I believe in keeping things simple - no chasing every fad, just finding what actually works for your skin. Sometimes, less is more.
How I Work
First, I try to understand why your skin is acting up. I’ll explain what’s happening, step by step, before suggesting anything. Coming from Mangalore, I know how heat and humidity mess with our skin - trust me, I’ve seen it all. There’s always a way forward, even if things feel stuck.
What I Can Help With
- Acne (face & body): We’ll dig into the cause, whether it’s hormones, genetics, or even friction from gym clothes. Early care means fewer scars - acne scar prevention is key.
- Hyperpigmentation & tanning: If your skin’s gone patchy after a holiday, I’ll help you get back to balance.
- Skincare routine: If your Vitamin C or Retinol isn’t working, I’ll help you build a personalized skincare routine that actually fits your needs.
Minor Procedures
- Safe milia removal: Those tiny white bumps near your eyes? I remove them safely - please don’t poke at them yourself.
- Hyperhidrosis treatment: If sweating in your underarms or palms is bothering you, we can try clinical options that give relief for months.
- Earlobe repair procedure: Torn or stretched earlobes from heavy earrings? I stitch and repair them neatly.
Beyond Products
Skin reflects your health and habits. I talk about stress, sun protection (even at nail salons), and small changes that make a big difference. Consistency and a realistic plan are what get results. My job is to help you find your upay (solution) and move forward.

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.
