About Cosmetic Dermatology
My Approach
I see cosmetic dermatology as a mix of science, art, and a bit of heart. I travel for conferences, pick up the latest in aesthetic medicine, and bring it all back to my clinic. For me, it’s not about chasing flawless skin, but helping you get to your best, with skin that feels good and looks healthy.
What Actually Works
No magic wand here, boss. Real change takes time and teamwork. I’ll be your coach, but you’ve got to show up too. Here’s how we get results:
- Advanced in-clinic treatments (think: laser pigmentation removal, resurfacing, and more)
- A home routine that fits your life (consistency is everything)
- Lifestyle tweaks - sleep, food, stress, all of it matters
What I Focus On
- Pigmentation issues: Melasma management, stubborn marks, and uneven tone. I use a mix of clinical treatments and daily routines.
- Laser treatments: I’m big on using the right tech for acne scar laser treatment, smoothing texture, and softening lines.
- Personalized skincare routines: No one-size-fits-all. I’ll explain the ‘why’ behind every step so you actually stick to it.
It’s a Team Effort
I’m here to guide, not just prescribe. You bring the commitment, I bring the plan. Together, we’ll work towards skin that’s healthy and real, not just filtered.

My Story
People call me the 'travelling dermatologist' and, honestly, I love it. One week I’m at a Lisbon conference, next I’m hunting street food in Istanbul. Connecting with folks, sharing all I know about vitiligo - that’s my thing. Helped start the Vitiligo Foundation of India, which was wild and rewarding. Won some awards, sure, but real joy’s found in books, sunset chases with Aseem, and chai breaks. Balance is everything. Life’s a mix, and I’m here for it.
My Work
Dermatology & Aesthetic Services - I treat skin, hair, and vitiligo. I also do cosmetic trichology, laser procedures, and help with complex pigmentation solutions.
No Quick Fixes, Just Partnership - Skin health isn’t instant. We work together, stick to routines, and build habits for lasting results.
Vitiligo Expertise - Vitiligo is close to my heart. I offer advanced vitiligo treatment, including melanocyte transplantation and the latest therapies.
Myth Busting & Hair Care - Oiling isn’t always good for dandruff! I guide you through hair cosmetic procedures and choosing what suits you best.
