Dermatology practice is steadily emerging as one the bigger draws of the Indian healthcare services industry, says Dr. Rinky Kapoor, one of the top dermatologists in the country and co-founder of the Esthetic Clinic. She mentioned that the clinic is seeing more and more patients from abroad. Her Mumbai-based clinic has been the referral centre for various doctors and hospitals from abroad besides India for a number of years.

Dr. Kapoor’s clinic provides various cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery as well as skin cancer treatment, in addition to generic medical advice on regular skin problems.Dr. Kapoor also regularly blogs to provide general skin care advice on her website, www.rinkykapoor.com, mentioned that besides foreign medical tourists, more and more Indians are getting conscious about their skin care.

A healthy skin is something that people of all ages want. And who does not want to look beautiful. And when you have a doctor like Dr. Rinky Kapoor treating your skin problem has become easy and possible. Dr. Kapoor treats patients for various skin disorders including those that arise due to the polluted environment or ignorance. The increasing pollution levels in the cities and the suburbs make it essential that people take good care of their skin. The need to be aware of these problems is especially important when we age as the skin does not regenerate loses its suppleness and becomes more prone to pollutants. Dr. Kapoor says that we need to remember that unseen chemicals and gases affect the skin every second we are outdoors. Unfortunately, that is generally not the case. Such ignorance of basic common skin care often leads to significant problems later, she adds.

Another factor that affects the skin are cosmetics and medications. The use of creams and packs for longer periods is harmful to the skin and lead to problems later. The incidence of these problems rises with medications. Strong medicines cause various complications such as rashes, acne, boils, scarring, among others. Thankfully, the experience of Indian doctors has helped keep these problems at bay and successfully cured the patients.
