Ethical Dermatology: Learning When to Say No
By Dr. Alka MehtaFounder, Dr Alka Skincare and Healthcare There is a moment in every dermatologist’s career that no textbook prepares you for.It is not the first surgery.Not the first laser procedure.Not even the first difficult diagnosis.It is the first time a patient looks at you with expectation — and you realize the correct medicalanswer is “no.”Over the years in clinical practice, I have learned that dermatology is not only about improvingskin; it is about protecting it — sometimes even from the patient’s own urgency.Skin is emotional tissue.

It’s about digging deeper, really understanding what’s happening under the surface of our skin, and being absolutely sure it’s safe and effective before I even think about recommending it. The first thing I do is look at the scientific evidence , the studies published , the peer reviews not just flashy marketing claims. I read about the ingredients, how they actually work, and whether there’s credible evidence supporting their use. A product can sound revolutionary, but if it doesn’t have solid data behind it, it doesn’t make it past this stage. Then I think about how it’s formulated and delivered. It’s one thing to have a powerful ingredient, but if it can’t penetrate
