India’s leading dermatologist and cosmetologist, Dr. Rinky Kapoor, has been recognised with the ‘Best Dermatologist in India’ award at the extremely prestigious National Healthcare Excellence Awards 2016. The event was organised by CMO Asia and held at Hotel Taj Lands’ End, Mumbai, India, on 24th June 2016.
Dr. Rinky Kapoor has been given the prestigious award for her pioneering contribution to the field of cosmetology and for making it accessible to her patients from across India and various parts of the world.
Dr Rinky Kapoor is well known for her work with celebrities and media personalities over the years. She has extensive expertise in dealing with various complex cosmetic and dermatological issues. The doctor has mastered and performed radical treatments to treat problems such as facial discoloration, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and various other skin-related issues. She is also a leading authority on non-surgical weight reduction and body toning procedures.
Dr. Rinky Kapoor was named Best Dermatologist in India at the National Healthcare Excellence Awards 2016. The recognition came at a defining point in her career, one built across dermatology and cosmetic medicine, fields that increasingly overlap with laser technology and individualised skin care.
Her training combines strong clinical grounding with exposure to advancing techniques. She holds an MD in Dermatology. She also completed fellowships at the National Skin Centre in Singapore and at Stanford Medical School in the United States, and has held senior dermatology roles throughout her career.
Clinically, her work spans cosmetic dermatology, laser-based treatment, skin rejuvenation, pigmentary disorders, and hair-related conditions. She has treated patients presenting with hyperpigmentation, melasma, uneven skin tone, photoageing, and other dermatological and aesthetic concerns. Research has remained a consistent part of her practice, particularly in hair restoration and growth-factor-based treatment. This has shaped her standing as a dermatologist who actively evaluates newer treatment approaches rather than relying solely on established protocols. She has co-authored research examining growth-factor formulations for specific presentations of hair loss, including female pattern hair loss associated with PCOS.
She currently serves as Co-Founder and Director of TEC® (The Esthetic Clinics), where dermatology and aesthetic medicine form the core of clinical practice. Her professional interests in hair, lasers and energy-based devices, and cosmeceuticals are reflected across her academic and professional profile, including her listing on the international IMCAS platform.
The 2016 award, seen this way, reads less as a standalone achievement and more as one point in a longer professional trajectory. It reflects sustained clinical exposure, continued academic training, and ongoing engagement with research and technological advancement in aesthetic dermatology.
Her current work still spans clinical dermatology, laser-based skin treatment, and aesthetic medicine, with research running alongside it. This combination of clinical depth and academic contribution largely explains the recognition she has built over the years.
