**Editor’s Note:** Aakaar Medical Technologies Ltd. has launched XELIX, a pioneering national platform designed to connect patients with qualified dermatologists and aesthetic experts across India, aiming to enhance access to safe, ethical, and evidence-based care.
Mumbai-based Aakaar Medical Technologies Ltd., a company listed on the NSE Emerge platform and a leading provider of technologies and solutions for cosmetic dermatology and medical aesthetics, today announced the launch of XELIX, a first-of-its-kind national platform that connects patients with qualified dermatologists and aesthetic experts across India. Developed to improve access to safe, ethical and evidence-based dermatology and aesthetic care, XELIX enables patients to discover and verify qualified specialists through a curated network of dermatologist-led clinics across the country.
The announcement was made at the FAHA Dermatology Conference in the presence of leading dermatologists and aesthetic medicine specialists, including Dr. Jerryl Banait, Dr. Syed Nazim, Dr. V S Rathore and Dr. Vijay Nagdev.
India has witnessed a sharp rise in demand for treatments for acne, pigmentation, hair loss, anti-ageing and cosmetic concerns. Patients are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of online information, influencer recommendations and unverified clinics. While social media has made aesthetic treatments more visible than ever before, it has also made it difficult for patients to distinguish between qualified dermatologists and untrained practitioners. Medical associations across India have repeatedly cautioned against cosmetic procedures being performed by unqualified individuals due to the risk of burns, scarring, infections and permanent skin damage.
XELIX brings together a curated network of verified, dermatologist-led clinics that follow standardized, evidence-based treatment protocols. The platform includes specialists in dermatology, trichology, plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, enabling patients to access qualified experts for a wide range of skin, hair and cosmetic concerns. Each clinic within the network is supported by advanced diagnostic technologies and follows established clinical practices to ensure consistent standards of care.
Through the platform, patients can search for certified specialists based on their city or treatment requirement, review doctor profiles and book appointments with the nearest XELIX-associated clinic through a seamless digital interface. Covering conditions such as acne, pigmentation, hair loss, skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing, XELIX is designed to simplify the patient journey while helping individuals make informed healthcare decisions. Every consultation begins with a detailed clinical evaluation, with treatment recommendations based on medical evidence and individual patient needs rather than trends or promotional claims.
Making expert care accessible, through the XELIX platform, patients can:
– Find trained and certified aesthetic specialists across multiple cities.
– Book appointments at the nearest trusted XELIX clinic.
– Access comprehensive solutions for skin, hair, and aesthetic concerns.
– Review verified doctor profiles and clinical expertise.
– Connect with the right specialist through a smooth and efficient appointment process.
– Receive consistent, doctor-led, evidence-based care through standardized treatment protocols across every XELIX clinic.
Supporting India’s dermatology community, beyond improving patient access, Dr. Rahul Sawakhande, CEO & Director of Aakaar Medical Technologies Pvt Ltd, said:
As aesthetic medicine continues to grow rapidly in India, industry experts believe trusted medical platforms will play an increasingly important role in protecting patient safety while raising standards across the specialty. Reports of medical misinformation and influencer-driven treatment decisions continue to concern healthcare professionals, reinforcing the need for patients to verify qualifications before undergoing dermatological or cosmetic procedures.
