Dr. Suchita Parab

"With my interest in biology right from my childhood, the complex mechanisms of the human body and the effect of medicines in making us feel better, felt like magic to me! Later when my elder brother entered MBBS and when I saw him study all these complex magical phenomena, I decided to follow his footsteps into medicine", says Dr. Suchita. She completed her MBBS in 2006 from Pune. Although it is said beauty is only skin deep, while doing her MBBS, she saw how skin conditions tend to make people very very distressed. And that's when she decided to pursue Dermatology as her post-graduation. She did her DNB in Dermatology and Veneral Diseases from Bhalabhai Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. Her dissertation for DNB was on a common skin condition of Acanthosis Nigircans, affecting PCOS patients. Acne, skin changes in PCOS, skin changes for women in various stages of their lives hold a special interest of work for her. She has had an active presence in seminars and workshops in dermatology where she has presented many scientific papers as well. "Isn't taking care of your skin a part of self-love?", she says when asked about her special interest in Cosmetology. Cosmetology Botox, Fillers, Mesotherapy, Dermatosurgery and Lasers are among her areas of special interest. She is now into private practice at her own Dermagrace Skin Clinic in Borivali, in Mumbai, and is a visiting consultant at hospitals in Mira Road and Borivali.
