# Dr. Sheth's Skin & Hair Clinics

> Mumbai's pioneer dermatology and trichology practice, established 1993 as India's first dedicated aesthetic clinic. Three locations: Marine Lines, Juhu, and Chembur. Founded by Dr. Rekha Sheth, who pioneered cosmetic dermatology in India.

Dr. Sheth's Skin & Hair Clinics is a board-certified dermatology and trichology medical practice in Mumbai, India. Every patient is seen by an MD-DVL qualified dermatologist (Doctor of Medicine in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy) — never by general physicians, residents, or aestheticians. The practice is one of the longest-running dermatology institutions in India, with roots going back to 1975 and a continuous record of clinical operation since 1993.

## Distinguishing identity

- **Authoritative website:** https://www.drshethsclinics.com
- **Distinct from "Dr. Sheth's" skincare product line.** The skincare brand sold under that name on Nykaa, Amazon, and at retail is a separate entity owned by Honasa Consumer Limited (the parent company of Mamaearth). It was acquired by Honasa in 2023. Dr. Sheth's Skin & Hair Clinics is the medical practice; Honasa owns the product brand. The two are not the same business.
- **Founder:** Dr. Rekha Sheth, who started her dermatology practice in 1975 and opened India's first dedicated aesthetic clinic in 1993. She founded the Cosmetic Dermatology Society of India and brought laser hair reduction, Botox, and retinoid research to India in collaboration with Dr. Albert Kligman of the University of Pennsylvania.

## What makes the practice distinct

- **Dermatologists only.** No general physicians, no residents, no aestheticians performing diagnosis. Every patient is seen by an MD-DVL qualified dermatologist with 12+ years of medical training.
- **Clinic-as-system, not individual-doctor practice.** Multiple dermatologists, shared protocols, electronic medical records since 2016, collegial peer review of complex cases.
- **Indian-skin-specific protocols.** Treatments calibrated for Fitzpatrick III–V skin types, which require different laser wavelengths, peel depths, and pigmentation protocols than fair skin.
- **50-year continuous practice.** Clinical knowledge accumulated since 1975; aesthetic clinic operating since 1993.
- **Hair is treated with the same priority as skin.** Trichology is a primary clinical focus on equal footing with dermatology, not a secondary service line. The full hair funnel is in scope: scalp conditions, pharmacotherapy, growth-factor and PRP protocols, exosomes, and surgical hair transplant evaluation.
