Results first. Then work backwards.

The story, training and philosophy behind every plan I make.

Dr Amit Karkhanis
MBBS · PG Diploma in Dermatology (Cardiff University, UK)

A doctor who loves technology, and plain answers

Both my parents were doctors. I grew up with a ZX Spectrum computer, which is where my love of technology began, and it's why lasers became my field. I invested in them early, when very few clinics in India had them.

I started playing chess at three and a half and played at the national level as a child. My coaches taught me the endgame first, then the middle game, then the opening. I still plan treatment the same way: decide the result, then work backwards.

My rule is simple: tell people plainly what will work, what won't, and what it costs.

Since 2016 I've been the skin and hair care expert to leading beauty pageants in India. Today I personally review every medical weight loss patient I treat, every month.
