Experience: | 10 years |
Education: | Indira Gandhi Medical College & Research Institute |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am an aesthetic physician who mostly deals with skin & hair stuff—acne, pigmentation, scalp flareups, sudden hairfall... that whole mix. Sometimes patients walk in thinking it’s just a “pimple” or “some dandruff” but there’s always more to it. Hormonal shifts, stress, gut stuff... these all play out on skin in ways we don’t notice at first glance. I kinda like figuring out those puzzle pieces.
I don’t really stick to one fixed routine. Every skin behaves different—what works for one person totally backfires on another. That’s why I spend time actually understanding their skin history, their daily routine, even what shampoo or facewash they're using. I’ve seen people use 10-step skincare that did more harm than good.. not judging, just saying!
Hair issues too—they're tricky. It's not just about lotions or oils. You gotta think about nutrition, maybe thyroid, maybe PCOS.. even bad sleep sometimes mess things up. I focus on that entire picture, not just one cream or pill. People don’t always want to hear lifestyle talk, but honestly if you ignore it, you’ll keep treating the same issue again-n-again.
I keep up with new methods, newer ingredients, clinical updates—all that, cause skin medicine shifts fast. But I stick to what’s proven safe. End of day, my goal’s to help people feel ok in their own skin again—even if it takes a bit of trial and error getting there. |
Achievements: | I am someone who did a fellowship in aesthetic medicine—not just to collect a certificate honestly, but to actually get into the science behind skin & hair stuff that shows up everyday in clinic. The training gave me more depth in understanding how treatments really work—like why one peel suits oily skin and another totally wrecks it. It covered things like injectables, cosmeceuticals, lasers (though I don’t do all of it), but yeah it shaped the way I look at skin now\.. way more precise. |
I am an aesthetic physician with around 8 years of full-on experience, mostly dealing with all kinds of skin issues—some simple, some not that simple. Acne? Yeah, a lot of it. Hairfall and dandruff too, they show up more often than you’d think and each case needs a slightly different approach. People assume there's just one cream or shampoo that’ll fix it all... but nope, doesn’t work that way. You gotta listen, really *look* at what’s going on underneath the surface—sometimes literally. Over time, I started seeing patterns, not just in skin problems but in how they’re connected to bigger health concerns. That's partly why I also began focussing on managing non communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension etc. You can't separate skin from the rest of the body. Blood sugar out of whack? You might see it first on the face before anywhere else. Stress, poor sleep, diet—it's all tied in. And sometimes people just want to feel better about how they look, which is fair, but we gotta fix the inside stuff too or it’ll just come back again. What I try to do is blend medical care with what people actually need day to day. I mean not everyone wants to hear the word “lifestyle change,” but sometimes that’s the only thing that'll really work. No point sugarcoating. I take my time explaining things—even if it takes a bit longer—because rushing through explanations or tossing random treatments never felt right to me. If I’m honest, I don’t think there’s a one-size-for-all solution in aesthetic medicine or general care. I still tweak my methods based on the patient in front of me, what they’re telling me.. or not telling me. Skin reflects a lot, not just biology but mood, confidence, the whole thing. It’s personal. And I treat it that way. I keep updating myself, not because I have to—but cause medicine changes fast and patients can tell when you’re behind. Anyway yeah, that’s where I’m at. Skin. Hair. Sugar. BP. All of it kinda connects in my day to day.
