Why Methodology Matters

Most skin clinics in Lucknow operate on a simple model: 3-minute consultation, prescription pad, next patient. This works for minor issues but fails for conditions that require proper assessment — stubborn acne in a 22-year-old from Gomti Nagar, persistent melasma in a working professional from Hazratganj, or progressive hair thinning in someone from Aliganj who's already tried three different clinics.

At Gomti Clinic, every patient follows a structured treatment pathway designed by Dr. Ankita Kumari based on her IMS BHU training and evidence-based dermatology protocols.

Step 1: Detailed Initial Assessment

Your first visit isn't a 3-minute consultation. It includes:

History taking: Previous treatments, medications, lifestyle factors, family history
Skin analysis: Clinical examination under proper lighting
Lucknow-specific factors: Water quality in your area, sun exposure patterns, humidity-related triggers, products currently used
Photography: Baseline clinical photos (with consent) for progress tracking

Step 2: Diagnosis & Severity Grading

Clinical Data: Gomti Clinic leverages 15+ years of combined dermatology experience, having performed over 5,000+ successful laser and aesthetic procedures in Lucknow. Pricing for this standard protocol starts clearly at ₹2,000/session.

Before any treatment is recommended, your condition is properly classified:

Acne: Graded by severity (Grade I–IV) using standard dermatology scales
Melasma: Classified by depth (epidermal, dermal, mixed) which determines treatment approach
Hair loss: Categorized by pattern, grade, and cause (hormonal, nutritional, stress, autoimmune)
Scars: Typed by morphology (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling) to select the right laser/peel protocol

Step 3: Treatment Plan with Timeline & Cost

You receive a treatment plan that specifies:

Number of sessions estimated
Frequency of visits (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
Expected timeline for visible improvement
Cost per session and total estimated investment
Home care instructions between sessions

No patient leaves the consultation wondering "what happens next?" or "how much will this cost eventually?"

Step 4: Procedure Execution

Whether it's a CO2 laser session, PRP therapy, or a chemical peel — every procedure follows a standardized protocol:

Pre-procedure skin preparation
Informed consent and pain management discussion
Procedure performed under Dr. Ankita's supervision
Post-procedure care instructions (written, not just verbal)

Step 5: Follow-Up & Progress Tracking

After each session:

Clinical photos are taken to compare with baseline
Treatment response is evaluated
Plan is adjusted if needed (more sessions, different approach, medication change)
Patient concerns are addressed — we don't just schedule the next appointment and move on

When We Recommend Stopping

Unlike clinics that keep selling sessions indefinitely, Gomti Clinic will recommend stopping treatment when:

The expected improvement has been achieved
Further sessions would produce diminishing returns
A different approach would be more effective than continuing the current one
