- Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
PRP therapy is a modality used for Acne scars and facial skin rejuvenation, where the PRP is injected into the skin under topical anaesthesia. When used as an anti-ageing treatment, PRP reduces fine wrinkles and sagging of skin.

Hair Loss Treatment
- Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
PRP therapy is a proactive therapeutic option for male and female patients experiencing hair loss. The blood is taken from your body and PRP is specially prepared by spinning down the blood cells to a high concentration and the highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into the scalp. The primary purpose of using PRP in hair restoration is to stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase
- Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a non-invasive technique based on superficial microinjections. The solution injected can contain a wide range of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acids and co-enzymes that can be tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

Treatment for Pimples and Scars
- Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a superficial resurfacing technique commonly used by Dermatologists for treating acne scars, dark spots, enlarged pores and facial rejuvenation. Microdermabrasion is a fairly simple, easy, painless, non-invasive, skin rejuvenation procedure using a combination of a fine abrasive tip or crystals and vacuum suction applied to the skin. The procedure can be performed in OP setup with minimal or no side effects.
- Micro-Needling
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
- Chemical Peeling
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. The new skin is also temporarily more sensitive to the sun. Marked reduction in pigmentation and pimples are achieved with multiple settings
- Acne Scar revision
Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The inflammatory lesions can result in scars which can sometimes be disfiguring. Subcision and Microneedling are procedures that can reduce the depth of acne scars
- Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a treatment to reduce facial wrinkles and skin irregularities, such as blemishes or acne scars. The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin, precisely removing skin layer by layer

- Punch grafting for Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder that causes areas of skin to lose colour. It presents as depigmented (white) patches. Exposed body sites, such as the face, elbows, knees, hands and feet, are often involved, resulting in significant cosmetic concerns. Vitiligo is usually treated with creams and tablets, or by phototherapy. Vitiligo may fail to improve or clear with these treatments.
The goal of Vitiligo surgery is to achieve complete repigmentation that cosmetically matches the surrounding normal skin. Small areas of skin from healthy areas are grafted to the white patches in Vitiligo punch grafting
