Skin Specialist in Gurgaon
People looking for a skin specialist in Gurgaon usually want one of two things: a diagnosis for something wrong with their skin, or help with how their skin looks. Those are different jobs, and they often belong to different doctors. This page sets out who does what, so that you book the right person, even if that turns out not to be us.
Be clear about who you are seeing
Dr Lokesh Yadav, who runs the facial aesthetics zone at Denz Aesthetics, is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (BDS, MDS) and a trained facial aesthetician. He is not a dermatologist, and nobody at this clinic is. His aesthetic work rests on years of operating on the face, not on a dermatology degree. You should know that before you book.
See a dermatologist for these
- Rashes, eczema, psoriasis or hives
- Fungal or other skin infections
- Severe, painful or scarring acne that needs medicine
- Sudden or patchy hair loss with no clear cause
- A mole or spot that is growing, bleeding or changing colour
- Anything that came on quickly along with fever or feeling unwell
These are medical conditions, and they need a doctor trained to diagnose and treat them. A facial or peel can delay that, or make things worse.
A facial aesthetician can help with these
- Dull, tired or dehydrated skin
- Tanning, uneven tone and marks left behind after acne has settled
- Open pores and oily skin
- Expression lines, volume loss and early sagging
- Skin tags, warts, unwanted hair and thinning hair
These concerns are about appearance and ageing. A skilled eye for facial anatomy counts for a lot here, because what shows on the surface is often driven by the muscle, fat and bone underneath.
If you are not sure which you need
Start with a message. Send a clear photo in daylight and a line about how long it has been there. You will be told plainly whether it looks like something the clinic can help with, or whether you should see a dermatologist first. If you have already seen one and want the cosmetic side looked after, bring their notes, as the two can work side by side.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dr Lokesh Yadav a dermatologist?
No. He is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a trained facial aesthetician. Skin disease should be seen by a dermatologist.
Why would a surgeon offer skin treatments?
Facial aesthetics depends on knowing the face beneath the skin: the bone, nerves and muscles. That is the anatomy a maxillofacial surgeon works with.
Can you tell me what my skin condition is?
If it looks like a medical skin condition, the advice will be to see a dermatologist. The clinic's focus is cosmetic skin and facial concerns.
Should I stop my dermatologist's medicines before a treatment?
Do not stop anything by yourself. Bring the names of what you use, because some creams and tablets affect whether a peel or laser is safe.
