Procedures
Treatments & Procedures
Here are the key procedures performed by leading specialists in Dermatology.
Laser Dermatology
Laser dermatology treatment in India uses advanced medical-grade laser technologies to address both cosmetic and medical skin concerns. These treatments target acne scars, pigmentation, melasma, unwanted hair, vascular lesions, stretch marks, fine lines, and skin laxity with high precision. Popular technologies include fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, Nd:YAG laser for hair removal and vascular lesions, Q-switched lasers for pigmentation, and IPL therapy for skin rejuvenation. Laser procedures are typically non-invasive or minimally invasive, with controlled energy delivery that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. India offers internationally recognised cosmetic dermatology centres equipped with modern laser platforms and experienced specialists, making it a preferred destination for affordable laser skin treatment.
MOHS Surgery
MOHS surgery in India is an advanced dermatologic surgical technique used for the precise removal of certain skin cancers, most commonly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The procedure involves removing the cancer layer by layer while each layer is examined immediately under a microscope. This method allows surgeons to identify and remove cancerous cells with extreme accuracy while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. The treatment is often recommended for skin cancers located on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, nose, eyelids, ears, and scalp, where preserving healthy tissue is critical for both functional and cosmetic outcomes. Diagnosis typically begins with a skin biopsy and dermoscopic evaluation to confirm the cancer type and determine the most suitable treatment approach. MOHS micrographic surgery offers some of the highest cure rates among skin cancer treatments, often exceeding 98–99% for newly diagnosed basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Because tissue removal is highly targeted, the procedure also helps minimise scarring and the need for extensive reconstructive surgery. India has become a preferred destination for international patients seeking skin cancer treatment due to experienced dermatologic surgeons, modern surgical facilities, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the USA, UK, and many Middle Eastern countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator, helping international patients obtain expert dermatology opinions, compare accredited hospitals, and receive transparent cost guidance before travelling to India for treatment.
Phototherapy and Excimer Pathways
Phototherapy treatment in India is a specialised dermatology therapy that uses controlled ultraviolet (UV) light to treat chronic inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, and certain forms of dermatitis. The treatment works by regulating immune activity in the skin, reducing inflammation, slowing abnormal skin cell growth, and stimulating repigmentation in areas affected by pigment loss. Common phototherapy approaches include Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) therapy, PUVA therapy (psoralen combined with UVA light), and targeted excimer laser treatment. NB-UVB phototherapy is widely used for widespread skin conditions, while excimer laser therapy delivers focused UV light directly to affected patches of skin, making it especially effective for localised vitiligo and psoriasis. During treatment, patients receive carefully controlled UV light exposure in specialised phototherapy units or targeted excimer laser devices under dermatologist supervision. The therapy is non-invasive and typically requires multiple sessions over several weeks to achieve noticeable improvement. India has become a preferred destination for dermatology treatments such as phototherapy and excimer laser therapy due to experienced dermatologists, modern phototherapy equipment, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the United States, United Kingdom, and many European countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator that helps international patients obtain specialist dermatology opinions, review medical reports, compare hospitals and dermatology centres, and receive personalised treatment guidance before travelling to India.
Skin Grafting
Skin grafting is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting healthy skin from one area of the body (the donor site) to another area where skin is damaged or missing (the recipient site). This vital reconstructive technique is commonly used to treat extensive burns, deep wounds, chronic ulcers, or areas where skin has been removed due to cancer or trauma. The primary goal is to restore the protective barrier of the skin, promote healing, prevent infection, and improve both function and appearance. India offers advanced facilities and experienced surgeons for various skin grafting procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mohs surgery better than standard excision?
It offers layer-by-layer margin assessment and can be tissue-sparing for selected lesions/locations. Your surgeon will advise.
Will I need reconstruction after skin-cancer removal?
Depends on defect size and location. Options include primary closure, grafts or local flaps; planned during consent.
How visible will my scar be?
All surgery leaves a scar, but placement, suturing technique, and aftercare can optimise appearance.
How many laser sessions will I need?
Varies by indication (e.g., scars vs pigmentation). Your specialist will plan sessions after assessment.
When can I fly after dermatologic surgery?
Often a few days to 1–2 weeks depending on extent and site. Your surgeon will confirm fitness-to-fly.
What documents should I bring?
Passport and medical visa, biopsy/histopathology, prior treatment summaries, medication/allergy lists and clinical photos.
Will I have language support?
Yes—Arabic, Russian, French and English support is available. Tell us your preference when you enquire.
