Dr Nishita Ranka, founder of Dr Nishita’s Clinic for Skin, Hair and Aesthetics in Hyderabad, offers evidence-based, personalised care. In collaboration with South Korea’s ExoCoBio, she focuses on regenerative skin and hair treatments. She speaks about her clinic, latest technologies, and practical care tips.

Tell us about the clinic.
The Clinic for Skin, Hair & Aesthetics is a dermatologist-led, evidence-based centre on Road No 7, Banjara Hills. I’m a board-certified dermatologist, international trainer for injectables, and cadaveric anatomy educator. Our focus is ethical dermatology, scientific protocols, and long-term results. We treat patients of all ages, from newborns to 90+ with personalised plans based on in-depth diagnosis, skin imaging, and global-standard protocols. For us, dermatology is built on trust, not trends.
Tell us about the SRLV and HRLV treatments you offer.
We are among the first clinics in India to introduce ASCE+ Exosome Therapy from ExoCoBio, South Korea, a leader in regenerative biotech.
SRLV (Skin Rejuvenation Lyophilised Vial)
Contains rose stem cell exosomes, growth factors, peptides, mRNA, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, retinol, and vitamin C.
Boosts collagen by ~690%, elastin by ~300%, and reduces melanin by ~75%.
Ideal for dull, dehydrated, sensitive, or aging skin — especially post-laser or microneedling.
Improves hydration, glow, and skin resilience with zero downtime.
HRLV (Hair Rejuvenation Lyophilised Vial)
Combats scalp
inflammation,
follicular damage, and androgenetic hair loss.
Contains exosomes, biotin, amino acids, coenzymes, and growth stimulants.
Reduces inflammatory markers by up to 45%.
Enhances density, thickness, and scalp health in both men and women.
Both are safe for all skin types, non-immunogenic, and backed by published clinical studies.
Why has Korean skincare become so popular?
Korean skincare excels in barrier repair, layered hydration, and prevention, principles aligned with dermatologist-led care. Innovations like encapsulated peptides, fermented actives, and exosomes are supported by robust clinical research. However, not all trends suit Indian skin. The ‘glass skin’ ideal — translucent, poreless, and reflective — can encourage excessive exfoliation or product layering, leading to damage in our melanin-rich, sebum-prone skin. Instead, we focus on ‘healthy skin’ — even-toned, resilient, and well-hydrated — rather than chasing unrealistic aesthetics
Could you share some skincare tips?
Never skip sunscreen! It’s your best anti-ageing and anti-pigmentation tool. Make sure you keep it simple, with cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF. Strengthen your skin barrier with glycerin, ceramides, or panthenol, and avoid unsupervised mixing of strong actives. Get annual skin checks to catch early signs of damage.
What is the bare minimum for good hair care?
Use a mild, pH-balanced shampoo, condition the lengths after every wash, and limit colouring, heat styling, and tight hairstyles. Apart from these measures, ensure proper nutrition — iron, vitamin D, protein. Also watch for early signs like widening hair part or excess shedding.
