"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty" – Coco Chanel. The millennials are breaking stereotypes in all spheres of life. Their behavior and needs are perceptibly shaping the skincare segment. In recent years, the boundaries of medical dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, and the beauty industry have blurred with the evolution of consumer needs and behavior as regards their skin. This has created many opportunities in dermatology, spanning from the medical domain to consumer healthcare.

As per the IQVIA prognosis report published in September 2021, the dermatology market is forecasted to grow in double digits and increase its market share within the pharma market. Established in 2011, Dr. Madhavi’s Advanced Skin Hair and Laser Clinic has been directly contributing to this exponential growth. It was established with a vision to bring affordable Skin Care to everyone. It started with clinical dermatology and skin procedures, and today, the clinic has increased its scope to include all clinical dermatology, trichology (diagnosis and treatment of hair and scalp conditions including hair fall and dandruff), nail disorders, and all skin-related cosmetic problems.

“By constantly updating ourselves with the latest technology and equipment, we aim to offer state-of-art treatments to keep your skin and hair healthy. Our clientele includes patients from all walks of life. Our exclusive facility in Hyderabad attracts patients from the twin states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The reputation we have earned in skin and hair treatments has brought us clients from Australia, Singapore, the US, and the UK”, says Dr. Madhavi Pudi, Founder of Dr. Madhavi’s Advanced Skin Hair and Laser Clinic. The team of experienced doctors attends to every case at Dr. Madhavi’s Advanced Skin Hair and Laser Clinic. From skin analysis, and understanding the skin tone to designing a treatment plan that will suit particular skin care needs and requirements.

Globally Renowned with Years of Expertise

Dr. Madhavi has more than 15 years of experience in dermatology and cosmetology. She did her MBBS from the Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, where she scored distinction in microbiology and pathology. Her strong interest in skin diseases and her interest in skin pathology led her to pursue dermatology residency training at CARE hospitals. She is one of the few doctors in India to have cleared her DNB degree on the first attempt. She has been certified by the National Board of Examinations.

With her strong interest in dermatopathology (the underlying causes of skin diseases), she pursued her dissertation in dermatoscopy which is a non-invasive method for the diagnosis of skin conditions. She is one of the few dermatologists in India with vast experience in dermatoscopy. “My husband’s advice, ‘think big and you will become big’. This motto pushed me to start my center – Dr. Madhavi’s Advanced Skin Hair and Laser Clinic,” says Dr. Madhavi.

She is extensively trained in all facets of dermatology and cosmetology and is now one of the sought-after dermatologists and cosmetologists in India. Dr. Madhavi has many achievements, including the prestigious Rao Bahadur Memorial Prize (gold medal) in microbiology and distinctions in pathology and microbiology. She has presented several papers in various state and national level meets. She has actively participated in research in chemical peels, acne, dermatoscopy, and drug trials.

She is adept at various dermato surgical procedures such as skin grafting (Vitiligo surgery), electrocautery, radiofrequency for removal of moles & warts, subcission for acne scar reduction, and excision of growths. She has also trained in the latest and most effective diode laser surgery for hair reduction, as well as Fractional CO2 laser for scar reduction.

According to Dr. Madhavi, the ability to heal patients and take care of people was a strong motivator that pushed her to always deliver the best. “Cosmetology is not just skin deep. It involves a deep understanding of the patient, and their needs and motivations. I knew that I could make a real change in this segment. I have been and continue to be a clinical dermatologist. Nothing is more satisfying than to see patients with critical conditions getting better”, she adds.

Quality Delivery with Every Touch

The mission of Dr. Madhavi through her clinic is to provide a professional and honest approach to Skin Care. Its customized treatments provide safe and effective solutions to all skin and hair-related problems. Facial Rejuvenation, tattoo removal, Hair fall - PRP/Stem cell, fat reduction Scar Revision, Hair Transplant, and Vitiligo/Skin grafting are some of the classic treatments offered at the clinic.

Facial rejuvenation is a combination of cosmetic treatments to restore the facial appearance and make it look younger. Dr. Madhavi’s facial rejuvenation treatment helps remove skin ailments and imperfections and reduces wrinkles, marks, fine lines, and the effects of aging and gravity. “We also specialize in removing blue, black, and green colored tattoos. A few of the common tattoo removal procedures are Laser surgery, Dermabrasion, and others”, adds Dr. Madhavi. The clinic’s Hair fall - PRP/Stem cell on the other hand determines the exact reason for hair fall, like hormonal changes, stress, anxiety, depression, and more. This in turn helps stop hair fall and regrow the hair follicle.

The clinic’s Fraxel laser treatment is also touted as one of the best treatments for scar removal. For its hair transplant treatment services, the clinic transplants modern technology hair in natural groupings of 4-5 which makes the transplanted portion look like natural hair. Lastly, Dr. Madhavi’s skin care specialists specialize in skin grafting techniques. It is a surgical procedure where skin is removed from one area (healthy skin area) of the body and placed over the affected area. “Most of my work concentrates around pigmentary disorders, Vitiligo, scarring especially scarring from acne and old injuries. We use a combination of invasive and non-invasive methods using lasers, intralesional injections, Platelet-rich plasma, and others”, says Dr. Madhavi.

Besides these classic treatments, the team at Dr. Madhavi’s Advanced Skin Hair and Laser Clinic also specializes in advanced treatments. Some of these include Thread lifting, a facial rejuvenation procedure that helps elevate the sagging areas of the face which consists of the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. Full body laser hair reduction - FDA-approved diode laser, a process of hair removal that destroys the hair follicles, PRP & stem cell therapy, Endovenous laser ablation for varicose veins and Cellulite treatment for double chin, cool sculpting, and more.

Onward & Upward

Dr. Madhavi started her practice when cosmetology had just started becoming popular in the country. She believes that she has been fortunate to be among the group of doctors who developed the field in the state. “Since we are at the forefront of technology, we are part of the revolutions and evolutions that occur. In effect is we who drive the evolution of the field forward. For example, melanocyte transfer and grafting used to be a niche technology. We have made it available to the masses”, she adds.

Since she started her career, Dr. Madhavi has worshipped her work and has been ‘a bit of a workaholic’. She strongly believes that ‘women are blessed with an innate caring ability’. This ability according to her helps them excel in the field of healthcare. “Our main motto and vision are to provide dermatology services to different classes of the population at affordable prices throughout the country”, concludes Dr. Madhavi.
