About Cosmetic Dermatology
What Drives Me
I care about making your skin look and feel its best, but I won’t promise miracles or hype up trendy stuff. I’m about real science, honest advice, and treatments that suit your skin - not just what’s popular. I love it when someone says, "nivēditā mēḍaṁ, avaru tumbā inna cennāge nōḍiddāre" (Nivedita ma'am, she’s treated me even better). That’s why I do this work.
Why Board Certification Matters
Don’t risk your skin with DIY tips or unqualified advice. I’m a board-certified dermatologist - which means I’ve trained to spot what’s really going on, and avoid things like hyperpigmentation or long-term scarring. Your skin’s delicate, so getting the diagnosis and treatment right is super important.
My Cosmetic Dermatology Approach
- Injectables: I use safe injectables for a natural look, not the frozen-face effect. My training means you get subtle results that match your face.
- Laser treatments: Carbon peels for instant glow, laser hair removal (I’m a bit obsessed with lasers, honestly), and laser treatment for pigmentation or tattoo removal. Sessions vary, and I’ll explain what works best for you.
- Common concerns: DPN, milia, warts, keratosis pilaris - I treat these with simple, painless in-clinic procedures. No unnecessary drama.
Beyond Procedures
I’ll help you cut through the noise and find a simple skincare routine that actually fits your skin type. No overloaded shelves, just what works for you.
If you want real advice, tailored treatments, and someone who listens, I’m here.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Nivedita. Dermatology isn’t just my job, it’s my everyday adventure. Still at The Venkat Center, learning and teaching, soaking in wisdom from Dr. Venkataram Mysore Sir—he’s the real MVP! I get a kick out of research, workshops, and writing chapters about stuff like smoking and hair loss. Biggest win? Co-authoring a paper with my mom, who’s an OBGYN! Real 'mom-daughter goals' moment. Always chasing new knowledge, always sharing it.
My Work
What I Do - I help with acne, pigmentation, tanning, vitiligo, warts, milia, scars, and offer procedures like laser tattoo removal, Hollywood peel, botox, fillers.
No Guesswork, Please - Don’t DIY your skin—come see a board-certified dermatologist for a plan that actually fits your needs.
Personalized Skin Care - Your skin’s not like anyone else’s. I’ll figure out what works for you and build a routine just for you.
Safe & Painless Treatments - From milia removal with needling to safe botox injections, I focus on treatments that are gentle and really work.
