Searching for a skin doctor near me?
Distance is a fair reason to choose a clinic. Who you sit across from matters more. If you have been searching for a dermatologist near me or a skin specialist near me, we have three clinics in Chennai, so one of them is usually a short drive away.
- Three clinics, so one is usually a short drive from you
- Appointments from 9am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday
- Parking available at all three clinics
- Same doctors and the same treatment plan at each
Patients come to us from across the city and from the suburbs. If the branch nearest you is full, the front desk will offer you a slot at one of the other two rather than push your appointment out by a week.
Ashok Nagar covers the T. Nagar, Saidapet, K.K. Nagar and Vadapalani side; Kottivakkam covers Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, Besant Nagar and the OMR stretch; Porur covers Ramapuram, Valasaravakkam, Mogappair and the Mount-Poonamallee corridor. If you are searching for a skin clinic near me from anywhere in these areas, one of the three is close to you.

What our patients say
★★★★★Six years of on-and-off acne treatment elsewhere. Here I finally got told why it kept returning. Clear by the fourth month.
Divya R.Ashok Nagar
★★★★★My melasma was written off as permanent by two clinics. The patches have faded a lot and, more importantly, they have stayed faded.
Kavitha S.Kottivakkam
★★★★★Blood tests first, then treatment. Nobody had checked that before. Hair fall settled in about three months.

Questions people ask before booking
What does the first consultation cost?
Consultation is charged separately from any treatment. Our front desk will tell you the exact fee when they confirm your slot, so there is no surprise at the counter.
How do I choose a good dermatologist near me?
Check the qualification first. A skin specialist doctor in Chennai holds an MD or DVD in dermatology, not a diploma in cosmetology. Then ask whether you will be examined by that doctor at every visit, or handed to a therapist after the first one. At this clinic you see the dermatologist each time, which is the single biggest difference between a medical skin clinic in Chennai and a salon that has added a doctor to the signboard.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Most patients are seen within the same week, and often the same day for morning enquiries. Call us if it is urgent and we will fit you into the first free slot across the three clinics.
Will laser treatment suit Indian skin?
Yes, with the right device and settings. We patch test before your first full session and adjust energy levels to your skin type rather than running a fixed protocol. Indian skin pigments easily after a badly set laser, which is why the test comes first.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition and how long you have had it. You will be given an expected number of sessions and the cost in writing at the first visit, before you commit to anything. If a condition needs no procedure at all, your dermatologist in Chennai will say so.
Do you treat men for hair loss and skin problems?
Regularly. Male pattern hair loss, acne, tinea and pigmentation make up a large part of the practice, and men are seen by the same skin doctor in Chennai as everyone else.
Where exactly are the clinics, and is there parking?
We have three clinics in Chennai: Ashok Nagar, Kottivakkam and Porur. Full addresses and phone numbers for each are further down this page. Parking is available at all three, and each clinic has its own direct number if you would rather call that branch.

Stop guessing what your skin needs
One consultation with a skin doctor in Chennai is usually enough to know what you are dealing with and what it will take to fix it.
About our skin clinic in Chennai
Skin problems get postponed. Acne is treated as a phase, hair fall as stress, a dark patch as something a pharmacy cream will handle. By the time most people finally look for a skin specialist in Chennai, they have already spent a year and a fair amount of money on guesswork.
That is the gap this clinic was set up to close. Every patient is examined by a qualified dermatologist doctor in Chennai, not a therapist or a counsellor, and leaves with a diagnosis in plain language, a written plan, and an honest estimate of how long it will take. Where a condition needs no treatment at all, we say so.
We handle the full range of medical and cosmetic dermatology: acne and scarring, melasma and pigmentation, hair loss, fungal and autoimmune skin conditions, laser hair removal, and anti-ageing work. Equipment is chosen for Indian skin tones, and every laser session begins with a patch test.
If you have been putting off finding a skin doctor near me on your phone and never getting further than the search, one consultation is a low-cost way to find out where you actually stand. Send the form above, or call the clinic during working hours.
Every consultation here is with a qualified skin specialist doctor in Chennai: MBBS with an MD in dermatology, registered with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, a member of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, and consulting in Tamil, English and Hindi. Fifteen years of practice as a skin specialist doctor in Chennai has been built mostly on acne, pigmentation and hair loss, the three things people here put up with far longer than they need to.
