Our story

"The best dermatology is often the least visible."

The Skin Clinic began with a simple observation: Indian skin, and coastal monsoon skin especially, needs care shaped for its climate, its melanin and its rhythms, not imported protocols.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Vindhya A. Pai after years in academic dermatology and aesthetic medicine, the clinic brings evidence-based medicine together with genuine listening. Today three dermatologists care for families across Mangaluru and the coast.

  1. 2010Dr. Vindhya completes her MD in Dermatology at KMC Mangalore.
  2. 2014Sets up the aesthetic clinic at KMC Hospital; completes a dermoscopy fellowship at Cardiff University.
  3. 2017Trains in fractional CO2 laser resurfacing in Milan.
  4. 2018The Skin Clinic opens its doors on Kadri Kambla Road, Mangaluru.
  5. 2023Recognised by IADVL as a centre for observerships in aesthetic dermatology.
