FAQs
Consultations & visiting
Do I need a consultation before starting treatment?
A consultation is recommended so that your skin concern can be properly assessed and an appropriate treatment plan can be discussed.
Do you treat acne scars?
Yes. Acne scar treatment is planned according to the type, depth and condition of the scars and the individual's skin.
Do you treat hair fall?
Yes. Hair fall is assessed to understand possible contributing factors before recommending a treatment approach.
Are aesthetic treatments suitable for everyone?
Not every treatment is suitable for every person. Suitability depends on factors including skin type, concern, medical history and treatment goals.
How long does a consultation take?
Consultation duration may vary depending on the concern and assessment required.
Where is the clinic located?
The clinic is on Baner Main Road near Balewadi High Street, Baner, Pune 411045 — conveniently accessible from Balewadi, Aundh, Pashan, Sus and Wakad.
Will I be recommended unnecessary treatments?
No. Our approach is to recommend only what is clinically appropriate for your skin, explain what each option can realistically achieve, and let you decide without pressure.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the concern and treatment. Dr. Mehta gives you an estimated plan at consultation and reviews progress as you go.
By treatment
Treatment questions
Why does my acne keep coming back?
Acne often returns when the underlying drivers — hormones, oil production, routine or triggers — aren't addressed, or when treatment is stopped too early. A maintenance plan is usually part of acne care.
Acne TreatmentCan acne scars really be improved?
Yes, most acne scars can be improved with the right combination of treatments, although complete removal is uncommon. Results depend on scar type, depth and skin type.
Acne Scar TreatmentWhat's the difference between pigmentation and tanning?
Tanning is a temporary darkening from sun exposure that usually fades. Pigmentation disorders such as melasma or post-acne marks involve changes in pigment production and often need targeted treatment.
Pigmentation TreatmentCan melasma be cured permanently?
Melasma can be controlled well, but it tends to recur with sun, heat or hormonal triggers. A maintenance plan keeps it under control.
Melasma TreatmentWhy does my fungal infection keep coming back?
Incomplete treatment, steroid-containing creams and reinfection from clothing or family members are common reasons. Treatment includes steps to prevent recurrence.
Skin Infection TreatmentIs eczema contagious?
No. Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition and cannot be passed on to others.
Eczema TreatmentCan psoriasis be cured?
Psoriasis is a long-term condition, but modern treatment can keep it well controlled for long periods.
Psoriasis TreatmentWhen should I see a dermatologist for hair fall?
If shedding lasts more than a few weeks, you notice thinning or patches, or it follows illness or pregnancy, an assessment helps identify the cause early.
Hair Fall TreatmentCan women have pattern hair loss?
Yes. Female pattern hair loss usually shows as a widening parting and diffuse thinning, and it can be treated.
Hair Thinning TreatmentDoes dandruff cause hair fall?
Severe scalp inflammation can contribute to shedding. Treating the scalp condition helps create a healthier environment for hair.
Dandruff & Scalp CareAre hair procedures enough on their own?
Usually not. They work best alongside treatment of the underlying cause of hair loss.
Hair RejuvenationIs skin rejuvenation suitable before a wedding?
Yes, with planning. Starting two to three months ahead allows treatments to be spaced safely before the event.
Skin RejuvenationDo chemical peels suit Indian skin?
Yes, when the right peel and strength are chosen and aftercare is followed carefully.
Chemical PeelsAre laser treatments painful?
Most feel like mild snapping or warmth. Numbing cream can be used for more intensive treatments.
Laser TreatmentsIs laser hair reduction permanent?
It gives long-term reduction rather than complete permanent removal; occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
Laser Hair ReductionWill skin brightening make me fairer?
No. The aim is an even, healthy tone that reflects your natural complexion, not a change in skin colour.
Skin BrighteningWhen should I start anti-ageing care?
Sun protection and a good routine help at any age. In-clinic treatments are recommended based on your skin, not a specific birthday.
Anti-Ageing TreatmentsCan open pores be closed permanently?
Pores can't be closed, but their appearance can be reduced significantly with the right treatment and routine.
