Dr. Prachi Saraogi is one the few doctors who have done both MBBS & MD from one of the most prestigious institutions of India, KEM Hospital, Mumbai. Her desire to excel in her work drove her to undergo an extensive 3-year fellowship at one of the largest Dermatology centers of England, the Salford Royal NHS Hospital.

This fellowship gave her the opportunity to be trained in cutting edge technology lasers for acne scars and pigmentation disorders. Consequently, she is providing the most advanced & laser treatments in the world in our own city of Mumbai. She is the only dermatologist in Mumbai suburbs treating acne scars with the latest and innovative modality of RF subcision.

Dr Saraogi is one of the very few Indians who excel in the field of Psoriasis as she has worked with world-renowned expert, Prof. Griffiths. Her experience with the use of Biologics (medicines for auto-immune conditions) is noteworthy.

She spends time with her patients; to understand their problems and helps them understand their condition, in the simplest of words. This brings out a lot of confidence in the patients, with regards to what results they can expect out of a particular treatment.

Another facet worth mentioning is her flair for Botox & fillers. Having done her aesthetic training with Dr Tim Pearce at England’s topmost institution like Skin Viva, she understands the importance of individualizing patient treatment. She takes all the efforts to first understand every patient’s aspirations and expectations and then tailor-makes a treatment regime accordingly.

Being a perfectionist as a person, her meticulous way of doing procedures speaks for itself. Lastly, the patients feel very comfortable & confident with her approach and eventually become a part of one happy family, the Saraogi Healthcare.
