Dermatology, hair and aesthetic care in Nallagandla
Six areas of care, all led by Dr. Manvitha Poluri, MBBS, MD (DVL). Every one of them starts the same way — with a consultation, because the right treatment depends entirely on an accurate diagnosis.
Medical Dermatology
For medical conditions of the skin, hair and nails — the diagnostic side of the clinic, and where most patients begin.
- Acne and acne scarring
- Eczema and dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Melasma and pigmentation
- Fungal and bacterial infections
- Vitiligo and urticaria
- Nail disorders
- Moles and skin lesions
Assessment may involve dermoscopy, which examines lesions at magnification and often distinguishes conditions that look alike to the naked eye. Treatment is typically a combination of topical therapy, oral medication and in-clinic procedures, planned around the diagnosis and adjusted as your skin responds over time.
Trichology — Hair & Scalp
For hair loss and scalp disease, diagnosed before it is treated.
- Pattern hair loss
- Telogen effluvium
- Alopecia areata
- Scarring alopecias
- Dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis
- Scalp psoriasis
Consultations use trichoscopy — magnified examination of the scalp and hair shafts — because pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata and scarring alopecias each respond to different treatment, and treating the wrong one wastes months. Blood tests are used where a nutritional or hormonal cause is suspected. Management may include topical and oral therapy, nutritional correction, and procedures such as PRP or microneedling.
Aesthetic Medicine
For non-surgical facial treatment, performed by a dermatologist rather than a technician.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Volume loss and contour
- Skin texture
- Dullness and dark spots
- Open pores
- Early signs of ageing
Botulinum toxin for dynamic lines, dermal fillers for volume and contour, chemical peels for texture and pigmentation, and medical-grade skin rejuvenation. These are prescription procedures and are only offered after an assessment. Results, how long they last and the number of sessions needed vary by treatment and by individual, and are discussed openly before you commit to anything.
Laser Treatments
For concerns that respond to dermatological lasers, with settings chosen for Indian and South Asian skin.
- Unwanted hair
- Pigmentation
- Acne scarring
- Skin texture
- Certain vascular lesions
Laser selection depends on your skin type and the condition being treated. Deeper skin tones carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is why parameters are set conservatively and a test patch may be used before a full session. Most laser treatments require a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart, timed to the skin's healing and hair growth cycles.
Dermatosurgery
For minor skin surgery under local anaesthesia, usually completed in a single visit.
- Moles and skin tags
- Warts, cysts and corns
- Earlobe repair
- Vitiligo surgery
- Biopsy of suspicious lesions
Not every lesion should be removed cosmetically. Anything with features that warrant investigation is biopsied and sent for histopathology rather than simply excised for appearance, because the result changes what happens next. Procedures are usually day cases, with aftercare instructions provided before you leave.
Hair Transplant
For surgical hair restoration in stable pattern hair loss — when it is the right option, which is not always.
- FUE and FUT techniques
- Hairline restoration
- Crown thinning
- Donor area assessment
- Graft planning
Follicular unit techniques move permanent hair follicles from the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp to areas of thinning. Suitability depends on donor density, the stage and stability of your hair loss, your age and your general health. Not everyone with hair loss is a candidate, and where hair loss is still active, medical treatment first is often the better answer. Graft numbers and expected outcomes are set out honestly at consultation.
What to expect
The same route, whichever service brought you here.
-
Tell us the concern
Call or message on WhatsApp with your main concern and a preferred day, and we confirm a slot. Walk-ins are accepted during opening hours, subject to availability.
-
Clinical assessment
Dr. Poluri examines the concern and takes a history. Where it helps, dermoscopy or trichoscopy is used to see what is not visible to the naked eye, and blood tests or a biopsy are arranged if the diagnosis needs them.
-
Diagnosis and a plan you can see
You are told what the condition is, what the options are, what each involves and what it is likely to achieve — including when the honest answer is that a treatment is not worth doing. Cost is itemised at this point, once there is something real to quote on.
-
Treatment
Procedures are performed by the dermatologist. Some begin the same day; others are scheduled, or start with medical therapy before a procedure is considered.
-
Review and aftercare
You leave with aftercare instructions and a review point. Most skin and hair conditions are managed over months rather than in one visit, and the plan is adjusted based on how you actually respond.
On cost
Varniqa does not publish price lists. What a treatment costs depends on the diagnosis, which treatment is appropriate and how many sessions it needs — none of which is knowable before an assessment. You will be given a clear, itemised plan before any treatment begins, and nothing proceeds without your agreement.
Not sure which of these applies to you?
That is what the consultation is for. Describe the concern in your own words — working out which category it belongs to is our job, not yours.
