Acne treatment starts with finding the cause which can be hormones, PCOS or a cosmetic product that is making it worse. Your acne is graded then treated.
Acne scars are treated with laser resurfacing, chemical peels and minor surgical methods.
Ahmedabad’s strong sun makes melasma, dark patches and tanning worse. Treatment is aimed at control and long-term maintenance.
Creams, lasers, peels and sunscreen advice are matched to the exact type of pigmentation you have.
Our clinic offers a wide range of expert aesthetic and cosmetic treatments like scar treatment, laser toning, Hollywood/Carbon facials, chemical peels, microneedling, MNRF and injectables. A detailed skin analysis is performed, and you are told the number of sessions and the likely result before you begin.
Settings and parameters are chosen based on your skin type.
Hair fall can come from iron or thyroid problems, a recent illness, or genetic hair loss. Each needs different treatment. Scalp examination with trichoscopy comes first to find the root cause of your hair fall.
PRP, GFC, Exosomes and Peptide hair treatments are offered along with medications.
Psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo are managed expertly for long term improvement. You get a plan you can keep up with.
Newer biologics for psoriasis that target IL-17, IL-23 or TNF-α, like secukinumab, ixekizumab and adalimumab, are prescribed after examination.
Nail problems are examined using modern dermoscopy. Fungal infections like ringworm are often recurrent, so the infection is confirmed first and then effective treatment is started.
Walk-ins are accommodated where the day allows. However, an appointment is usually preferred so that enough time is set aside for a proper examination. Call +91 96248 62487 or use the booking form.
A first visit covers history, examination of the affected skin, scalp or nails, dermoscopy or trichoscopy where useful, and any blood tests needed. You leave with a written plan explaining what the condition is, what will be used, and roughly how long it will take.
Any creams or tablets you are currently using. Previous blood reports or prescriptions if you have them.
Acne and acne scarring, melasma and pigmentation, hair fall and pattern hair loss, psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, fungal infections, nail disease, and skin growths such as moles and skin tags, alongside laser and aesthetic procedures.

It depends entirely on the condition. Generally, itch and inflammation often settle within a week. Acne takes around six to eight weeks to improve. Pigmentation and hair issues need one to three months before a fair judgement is possible. You will be told which of these applies to you at the first visit.
No. Many skin and hair problems are managed with medication and correction of underlying causes. Procedures are recommended only where they add something medication cannot, and the cost is discussed before anything is booked.
