World-renowned and celebrated cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Rinky Kapoor has been awarded 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.
The vision of CMO Asia is to share best global practices and give more space to the consumer voice. This award reinforces Dr. Kapoor’s standing as one of the best dermatologists & skin specialists in Mumbai & India.
Dr. Rinky Kapoor was named Best Dermatologist in India at the National Healthcare Excellence Awards 2016. The award, presented in Mumbai in June 2016, recognised her clinical contribution to dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Her work brings together medical dermatology, cosmetic science, procedural technology, and individualised patient care. She holds an MD in Dermatology. Her training also included the National Skin Centre in Singapore and Stanford Medical School in the United States. She has held senior dermatology appointments at leading healthcare institutions as well.
Clinically, her interests span cosmetic dermatology, laser and energy-based device treatments, skin rejuvenation, pigmentary disorders, and hair-related conditions. This range mirrors a shift within dermatology itself, away from treating skin disease in isolation, toward a discipline that addresses medical and aesthetic concerns together.
Research remains a consistent thread in her career too. She has co-authored peer-reviewed studies on hair loss and growth-factor formulations. This includes research on female pattern hair loss linked to PCOS, and on chemotherapy-induced alopecia, conditions that carry real weight for the patients living through them.
Her role as Co-Founder and Director of TEC® (The Esthetic Clinics) has also shaped much of her career. Established alongside Dr. Debraj Shome, the organisation has grown into a practice spanning dermatology, aesthetic medicine, laser treatments, cosmetic procedures, and hair-related care.
Beyond clinical work, she has stayed engaged with the wider professional conversation in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. This has come through industry events, academic platforms, and media interactions. Her international professional profile records multiple guest lectures, peer-reviewed publications, professional awards, and participation in beauty and grooming panels.
Taken together, the Best Dermatologist in India recognition sits within a much wider professional record, one built across clinical dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, research, medical education, and procedural innovation. For those evaluating Dr. Rinky Kapoor’s qualifications and professional standing, this award offers meaningful context within India’s healthcare and aesthetic medicine landscape.
