Skin care expert to India's leading beauty pageants since 2016
For a decade, Dr Amit Karkhanis has prepared pageant contestants' skin for the stage and camera, where every pore, mark and shade shows. That experience shapes how we treat every patient: precise, protocol-driven and planned around your timeline.
Indian skin needs particular care with lasers, because the wrong settings can cause pigmentation. Our protocols are tuned specifically for Indian skin types.

The right laser for the right problem
No single laser does everything. We match the wavelength to your concern and skin type.
Laser Hair Removal
Long-term reduction of unwanted hair on the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini line and back. It's well suited to PCOS-related facial hair, uses built-in cooling, and is suitable for Indian skin tones when settings are chosen correctly.
Q-Switch Laser
The workhorse for pigmentation: sun spots, freckles, uneven tone, dark patches, pigmentation from pimples, and as part of a melasma plan. Also used for laser toning and the carbon laser peel to brighten skin and refine pores, and for tattoo removal.
Fractional Erbium Glass Laser
Creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones that trigger new collagen, while the skin surface stays intact. Ideal for acne scars, open pores, rough texture, fine lines and stretch marks, with minimal downtime.
Diode 1540 nm Laser for Acne
Targets the oil glands deep in the skin to reduce oil production and active breakouts. It helps when creams and tablets haven't been enough, or as a way to reduce long-term reliance on medication.
Fractional CO2 Laser
For deeper acne scars, surgical and injury scars, and significant textural change. It's also used for precise removal of moles, warts and skin tags with minimal marks.
Skin Tightening
Non-surgical lifting and tightening for sagging skin, jawline definition and loose skin after weight loss, using focused ultrasound and radiofrequency energy to rebuild collagen.
Fade it, or remove it.*
Changed your mind about a tattoo, or need to lighten it for a cover-up? Q-Switch laser breaks tattoo ink into tiny particles that your body clears naturally, over a series of sessions.
- Black and dark inks respond best. Some colours need more sessions
- Sessions spaced 6 – 8 weeks apart
- Number of sessions depends on ink, depth, age and location
- Also used for permanent-makeup and eyebrow-tattoo correction
Good to know
Amateur tattoos often clear faster than professional ones. Older tattoos usually fade faster than new ones. We'll estimate your number of sessions at the first visit, and test a small patch where needed.

Frequently asked questions
Is laser suitable for Indian skin?
Generally yes, when the right laser and settings are chosen for your skin type and the skin is prepared properly. Incorrect settings can cause pigmentation, which is why laser treatment should always be planned by an experienced doctor.
What is a Q-Switch laser used for?
The Q-Switch Nd:YAG laser treats pigmentation such as sun spots, freckles and post-acne marks. It's also used for laser toning, the carbon laser peel and tattoo removal.
How many sessions of laser hair removal will I need?
Most people need 6 – 8 sessions, 4 – 6 weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. Hormonal conditions such as PCOS may need more.
Which laser is right for acne scars?
It depends on the scar type. Fractional Erbium Glass suits most rolling and shallow scars with minimal downtime. Deeper scars may need fractional CO2, subcision or a combination.
Can a tattoo be removed completely?
Many tattoos can be removed or faded enough for a cover-up, but complete removal isn't possible in every case. Results depend on ink colour, depth and age, and usually take several sessions.
How do I prepare my skin before a big event?
Ideally start 3 – 6 months before. Like our pageant protocols, we plan backwards from your date, with stronger treatments early and gentle glow treatments in the final weeks.
