About Cosmetic Dermatology Procedures
I see skin as a journey, not a quick fix. As someone who's gone through big changes myself (hello, new mom life!), I get how personal skin concerns can feel. My approach is all about honest advice, real science, and working together to find what fits your life.
What Happens in a Consultation
- Deep dive into your skin's story, daily routine, and goals
- Chat about upcoming events, your comfort with downtime, even your budget
- No one-size-fits-all plans - we figure it out together
Skin Concerns I Often Treat
- Atrophic acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling)
- Pigmentation, like melasma or patchy skin
- Uneven texture, early signs of aging, keratosis pilaris
Procedures I Offer
- Chemical peels (including for melasma), tailored to your skin
- TCA CROSS for deep scars - especially tough ice pick scars
- Laser resurfacing for acne scars - both ablative and non-ablative options
- Microneedling for skin rejuvenation - good even for darker skin tones
- Subcision, punch excision, dermal fillers for specific scars
Real Talk: What to Expect
- Big results are possible, but not perfection - scars fade, not vanish
- Most treatments need a few sessions and patience
- Downtime can be a few days (microneedling) to a couple of weeks (some lasers/TCA)
- Active acne? We'll calm that first before scars
I believe in safe skin treatments for Indian skin and will always discuss risks, downtime, and honest outcomes. If you want a partner who keeps it real and respects your journey, I’m here.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Poovamma. So, I went missing for a bit – turns out, I was busy growing a tiny human! Pregnancy was wild, with nausea, heartburn, all those crazy hormones. Diwali 2021, we became three. Parenting? Not easy, lots of trial and error, but worth every bit. I really get pregnancy skin stuff now, not just from books but from my own mirror. My work fam keeps me sane – we celebrate, we support, we laugh.
My Work
Skin and Hair Consults - I help with acne, melasma, stretch marks, and pregnancy skin changes. Also do chemical peels and laser.
Real Talk, Real Facts - I bust myths and give you evidence-based skincare advice so you actually understand your skin.
Patience Pays Off - No magic overnight! Most treatments need 12 weeks for results. Slow and steady wins here.
Pregnancy-Safe Skin Care - Been there myself. I guide you on safe acne and skin treatments during pregnancy, with real empathy.
