Meet Dr. Ananya Iyer
Consultant Dermatologist & Aesthetic Physician
Dr. Iyer trained in medical dermatology before completing a fellowship in aesthetic and laser medicine, and has spent the years since treating skin, hair and pigmentation concerns across every skin type. Her approach starts with a proper diagnosis — what's actually happening in the skin — before any treatment is discussed, and she's just as comfortable saying "let's wait and watch" as she is starting a treatment plan.

- Fellowship in Aesthetic & Laser Medicine
- Member, Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists & Leprologists
- Special interest in acne, pigmentation & non-surgical rejuvenation
“Good dermatology is unglamorous — it's a correct diagnosis, a realistic plan, and enough follow-up to know it's working.”Book a Consultation with Dr. Iyer

Tell us what's bothering you
Pick the concern closest to yours — we'll point you to how Dr. Iyer typically approaches it.
Acne & Breakouts
Acne is treated as a medical condition here, not a cosmetic one — Dr. Iyer looks at what's driving it (hormonal, bacterial, or a mix) before prescribing anything, since the right combination is different for every skin.
Dark Spots & Pigmentation
Pigmentation has several distinct causes — sun exposure, old marks, and melasma all look similar but respond to different treatment. Getting the cause right matters more than the treatment itself.
Uneven Skin Tone
Texture and tone concerns that don't fit neatly into "pigmentation" — sun damage, dullness and rough patches — are usually addressed with a course of peels or laser toning, rebuilt gradually rather than all at once.
Hair Loss & Thinning
Hair loss always starts with an assessment, not a prescription — bloodwork and scalp examination first, because thinning has genetic, nutritional and hormonal causes that each need a different plan.
Fine Lines & Ageing
Early lines respond well to conservative, staged treatment — Dr. Iyer favours building up gradually over one dramatic session, so results stay natural and are easy to adjust as your skin changes.
Sensitive / Reactive Skin
Reactive skin needs a gentler starting point — patch testing, lower-strength protocols, and treatments built up slowly rather than a standard course, so the skin barrier isn't compromised along the way.
How It Works
Your treatment journey, step by step
The same structure for every patient, whether the visit is for a single concern or an ongoing plan.
-
01
Consultation
A conversation about your skin, your history and what's actually bothering you — before anything is examined.
-
02
Assessment
A clinical examination, sometimes with dermoscopy or digital skin analysis, to understand what's really happening.
-
03
Personalised Plan
Options explained in plain terms, with realistic timelines and costs — including the option to simply monitor.
-
04
Treatment
Delivered at a pace suited to your skin, with clear aftercare instructions before you leave the clinic.
-
05
Follow-up
A review to check progress and adjust the plan — treatment isn't considered finished until this happens.
Results & Expectations
What personalised care can realistically do
No two skins respond identically — here's the kind of change patients typically notice, and the honest timeline for it.
Calmer, clearer skin
Fewer active breakouts and less visible redness, usually noticeable within a few weeks of starting an acne plan.
More even tone
Gradual fading of pigmentation and sun marks over a full course — evenness builds session by session, not overnight.
Smoother texture
Softer scarring and fewer visible pores after a resurfacing course, most apparent around the 8–12 week mark.
Confidence in the plan
Knowing why a treatment was chosen, and what to expect — patients report this matters as much as the result itself.
We don't publish stock before-and-after photos. Every patient's skin and consent is different, and we'd rather not show images that aren't genuinely theirs. If you'd like to see real examples relevant to your concern, Dr. Iyer is happy to share them candidly during your consultation.

Common Questions
Before your first visit
Anything else, call the clinic directly and reception can talk you through it.
Call +91 98765 43210What happens at the first consultation?
A conversation first — your history, what's bothering you, and any treatments you've already tried. Dr. Iyer then examines the skin, sometimes with a dermatoscope, and talks through the likely cause before any treatment is proposed. First consultations usually run 30–40 minutes.
Are the treatments painful?
Most patients describe discomfort rather than pain. Numbing cream is used ahead of laser and injectable treatments, and sessions are paced to what you're comfortable with — nothing is rushed for the sake of the schedule.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends entirely on the concern and how your skin responds — some plans are a single consultation, others are a course of 4–6 sessions over a few months. You'll get a realistic estimate before committing to anything, and it's reviewed as you go.
Is this safe for darker or sensitive skin tones?
Yes — device settings and peel strengths are adjusted for skin type, and darker or reactive skin is treated more conservatively to reduce the risk of post-treatment pigmentation. A patch test is standard practice before a first laser or peel session.
Do you publish before-and-after photos?
No — we don't use stock or generic before-and-after imagery online. Real examples relevant to your concern can be shared candidly in person during your consultation, with patient consent.
What does a consultation cost, and do you take insurance?
Reception will confirm the current consultation fee when you book. Medical treatments may be eligible under some insurance plans; purely aesthetic treatments typically aren't — ask at the time of booking and we'll clarify what applies to your visit.
What should I do before a laser or peel appointment?
Avoid sun exposure and any active retinoid or peeling products for a few days beforehand, and arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. You'll get specific instructions when the appointment is confirmed, tailored to the treatment.
