India’s dermatology and aesthetics industry is moving beyond traditional metro markets. Rising awareness, increasing disposable incomes and greater acceptance of aesthetic procedures are creating new demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. As consumers seek access to advanced treatments and qualified dermatologists closer to home, organised clinic networks are increasingly looking at expansion beyond major urban centres.
Here are five clinic brands shaping this next phase of India’s aesthetic and dermatology market:
1. V6 Clinics
V6 Clinics is among India’s emerging dermatologist-led dermatology and aesthetics networks, bringing dermatology, advanced aesthetics, nutrition, lifestyle optimisation, anti-ageing medicine and wellness together under one integrated model.
From its flagship centre in Gurugram, V6 Clinics has expanded into Delhi with its Green Park centre, with Chandigarh next in line. The brand has set an ambitious target of establishing 100 doctor-led clinics across India by March 2029.
Technology is central to its model, with AI-powered facial simulation, digital care tools and continuous patient monitoring supporting personalised treatment planning. Its multidisciplinary approach is designed to address skin and aesthetic concerns alongside nutrition, lifestyle and wellness.
2. Kaya
Kaya is one of India’s established dermatologist-led skin and hair care networks, with more than 80 clinics across major Indian cities. Its footprint includes metros as well as cities such as Chandigarh, Coimbatore, Indore, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Nagpur, Siliguri, Surat and Visakhapatnam.
The company has continued to add locations, including new clinics in Yelahanka, Bengaluru and Noida, while also expanding its presence in Hyderabad. Kaya’s expansion demonstrates how organised dermatology networks are increasingly looking at high-potential markets beyond India’s traditional metro hubs.
3. VLCC
VLCC is expanding its beauty, wellness and aesthetic services across both metropolitan and non-metro markets. In 2025, the brand opened its first clinic in Goa’s Porvorim, describing the move as part of its pan-India expansion strategy. The clinic offers dermatology, skin rejuvenation, anti-ageing, weight management and laser hair reduction services.
The brand has also highlighted a growing presence across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, supported by a mix of company-owned and franchise-led locations. This model allows VLCC to take its broader beauty and wellness ecosystem into markets where demand for organised services is increasing.
4. Oliva Skin & Hair Clinic
Oliva Skin & Hair Clinic has built a significant presence across cities including Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Visakhapatnam, Kochi, Ahmedabad and Vijayawada. Its current network reflects a strategy of taking specialised dermatology and hair-care services beyond a single regional market.
The brand has also previously outlined ambitions to expand into Tier 2 cities, following its growth across major urban markets. Oliva’s expansion has focused on bringing advanced dermatology, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation and aesthetic procedures closer to consumers outside the traditional metro catchments.
5. Uncover Wellness
Uncover Wellness represents another approach to scaling organised dermatology and aesthetics in India’s emerging markets. In 2026, the brand expanded its North India network by acquiring two clinics from Oliva Skin, Hair & Body Clinics, taking its network to more than 12 locations.
The brand is deepening its presence across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir, with plans to scale across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities through a combination of owned and franchise-led clinics. Its portfolio includes laser hair removal, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation and body contouring.
