    We listen to your skin history, lifestyle, diet, skincare routine and medical background. This helps your dermatologist understand what may be contributing to your concern.

    2Skin Examination

    Your dermatologist examines your skin, using magnified imaging where needed. This helps identify the type and possible cause of your skin concern.

    3Investigations
    (If Needed)

    Blood tests, patch tests or other investigations are advised only when clinically required. They help check for contributing factors such as allergies, infections or hormonal issues.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1 Are occasional skin changes normal?

    Yes. Occasional breakouts, dryness or temporary marks are common and can happen due to weather, stress or hormonal changes. If a concern keeps returning, spreads, becomes painful or leaves marks, it is worth getting your skin examined.

    2 When should I see a dermatologist?

    Consider a consultation if a skin concern continues for more than a few weeks, if you notice a new or changing spot, or if you have persistent itching, redness, scaling or pain. It is also advisable if a problem began after a new product, a medicine or an illness. Early evaluation helps identify the cause.

    3 Does skin treatment work for everyone?

    No. Skin concerns have many causes, and a treatment that suits one person may not suit another. Whether a particular treatment is appropriate, and how a person responds, varies from patient to patient. Your dermatologist will advise only after examining you.

    4 Are there side effects?

    Every treatment carries some risk. For procedures such as peels or laser treatments, temporary effects like redness, dryness, sensitivity, swelling or changes in skin tone can occur. Medicines can have their own side effects. Your dermatologist will explain the possible risks and answer your questions before you decide.

    5 How many sessions are needed?

    This varies from person to person and depends on the cause and extent of your skin concern. Your dermatologist will explain the plan after evaluation and review it at follow-up visits.

    6 Is a procedure always required?

    No. Some patients are advised medicines, skincare changes or lifestyle changes alone. A procedure is considered only if your dermatologist finds it suitable for your condition.

    7 What should I bring to the first visit?

    Please bring:

    • Previous Previous prescriptions, test reports or skin-related records
    • A list of medicines and supplements you currently take
    • Details of skincare products or treatments you have used
    • Older photos showing your skin condition, if available
