My Approach to Dermatology: Science, Training, and Ethics
I believe in evidence-based care, not viral trends. Here is a look at the training, credentials, and values that guide every treatment I offer in my clinic.
We are dermatologists, and we practice ethical dermatology. This means prioritizing patient safety, using evidence-based medicine, and empowering you with knowledge to make informed decisions about your skin health.
We can't win alone. It's crucial to check the educational credentials of your skincare provider before you entrust your skin to them. Your safety is the number one priority.
It can be hard to tell a real doctor from a quack. I created this fun rap video, inspired by a popular trend, to share a serious message in Kannada: *Skin doctore best, skin doctorge thorsi*. Always check for proper medical degrees like MD or DVL before trusting someone with your skin.
A patient asked if it's okay to go to a dental surgeon for a skin procedure. I explain why you should always trust your skin only to a real skin expert, a dermatologist, who has years of specialized training in the complexities of skin health.
Are you getting laser or chemical peels at a salon or from an at-home provider? I explain why these medical-grade treatments should only be performed in a clinical setting by a qualified dermatologist to ensure your safety.
There is a significant difference between serums you buy online and those prescribed by a dermatologist. Prescribed serums are personalized, have optimal active ingredient concentrations, and come with professional guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Have you ever used skincare products advertised by online influencers? This video humorously shows why it's always best to get a prescription from a dermatologist rather than choosing products based on trends.
This is a simple reminder of what a dermatologist does. We are the true skin and hair experts, treating medical conditions and performing aesthetic treatments with the highest level of training and expertise.
I am humbled and honored to be listed in the Outlook Initiative as one of the Best Doctors South 2024. My commitment is always to my patients and to providing the highest standard of care.

About My Professional Journey: Training & Recognition
You need a skin doctor, not an influencer. My approach to dermatology is built on years of MD and DVL medical training, not just a one-week certification. When you choose me for your skin journey, you aren't just getting a procedure—you are getting a diagnosis based on clinical science, ensuring that we treat the root cause rather than just the symptom. Your skin is not a science experiment, and it deserves the highest standard of ethical, evidence-based care.
Why Credentials Matter
In an age of DIY skincare and viral trends, knowing who you are letting touch your face is your first line of defense. I am a dermatologist with formal MD and DVL training. This means I have spent years studying the physiology of Indian skin—how it reacts to heat, inflammation, and pigment.
My Commitment to the Field
I don’t just treat patients; I contribute to the medical community. Whether it is moderating panel discussions on Facial Melanoses at the Roots conference or speaking at Dermacon—the second-largest dermatology association in the world—I am constantly learning. I believe that dermatology is an evolving field, and I owe it to my patients to bring the latest, safest, and most effective technologies back to my clinic in Koramangala.
Ethics Over Trends
My clinic isn't a place for quick fixes or unproven 'miracle' serums. We operate on a few core principles:
- Transparency: If a treatment won't work for you, I will tell you. I’d rather lose a sale than damage your skin barrier.
- Education: I treat 'patient education' as a therapy. Understanding why we are using a specific laser or serum is half the battle.
- Safety First: Medical-grade treatments like lasers, RF, and chemical peels should only be handled by a specialist.
If you are tired of the guesswork and the expensive products that just end up being sumne duddu waste (a waste of money), it is time to switch to a medical-first approach. Let’s stop experimenting and start healing.
