Finding a dependable dermatologist in Santacruz can feel overwhelming when every clinic promises quick fixes. At Cozmaa, our Santacruz (East) clinic, led by Dr. Prajct Sao, offers careful diagnosis, transparent treatment plans and gentle protocols rooted in modern dermatology. Whether you are dealing with stubborn acne, pigmentation, hair thinning or simply want healthier skin, we focus on what your skin truly needs.
Why Santacruz Patients Trust Cozmaa for Skin & Hair Care
Santacruz is busy, humid and polluted — and your skin shows it. At Cozmaa, we treat every patient as an individual, not a template. Here’s what makes us different.
- Dermatologist-led care. Every plan is built by Dr. Prajct Sao, a qualified dermatologist with deep experience in medical, cosmetic and laser dermatology.
- Evidence-based, not trend-based. Recommendations are grounded in current dermatology literature and tailored to Indian skin types.
- No package pressure. You’ll never be pushed into elaborate packages or treatments you don’t need.
- Unhurried, private consultations. Detailed one-on-one sessions where your history, lifestyle and previous treatments are actually heard.
- International hygiene standards. Regularly serviced equipment, sterilised instruments and strict room turnover between patients.
- Honest, clear options. From teenage acne to adult melasma and hair loss — you get realistic choices, not dramatic promises.
The goal is simple: healthier skin and steady, sustainable results over time.
Skin & Hair Concerns We Treat Every Week
Our Santacruz clinic handles both medical dermatology and aesthetic concerns under one roof, so you rarely need a referral elsewhere.
- Acne & acne scars. Active acne management, hormonal evaluation, peels, microneedling and resurfacing for scars.
- Pigmentation & melasma. Topical regimens combined with chemical peels, mesotherapy and gentle laser toning where appropriate.
- Monsoon-flare conditions. Eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, urticaria (hives), seborrheic dermatitis and rashes — diagnosed early before they turn chronic.
- Anti-ageing concerns. Fine lines, dull skin, open pores and early sagging addressed with medical skincare, micro-needling, HIFU and injectables.
- Hair fall & thinning. Trichoscopy-based diagnosis, blood work, PRP/GFC sessions, low-level laser therapy and FUE hair transplant for advanced cases.
- Scalp issues. Dandruff, scalp infections and pattern hair loss for both men and women.
- Laser hair reduction. Long-term reduction in unwanted facial and body hair on Indian skin tones.
- General dermatology. Nail disorders, mole evaluation and wart treatment.
Every plan is customised after examining your skin or scalp in person — never prescribed over a phone call.

Your First Visit, Step by Step
No guessing, no surprises — here’s exactly what happens when you walk into Cozmaa Santacruz.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Quick form | Medical history, current medications, allergies and your specific concern. |
| 2. Detailed exam | Skin, scalp or nail examination by Dr. Prajct Sao, often using dermatoscopy or trichoscopy for a closer look. |
| 3. Plain-language explanation | We explain what we’re seeing in simple terms — no jargon. |
| 4. Tests if needed | If blood work, biopsy or imaging is required, we tell you exactly why and what it will rule in or out. |
| 5. Written plan | Prescription medication, medical-grade skincare, lifestyle adjustments and a clear follow-up schedule. |
| 6. Procedure walk-through | If a procedure is suggested: how it works, number of sessions, realistic outcomes, side effects and aftercare. |
No pressure to commit on the spot. You’re encouraged to ask questions, take a second opinion if you wish, and return when you feel comfortable. Our priority is steady improvement, not dramatic before-and-after promises.
Safety, Hygiene & the Team Behind Your Care
Dermatology involves needles, lasers, energy-based devices and active chemicals — so safety is non-negotiable. Here’s how we protect every patient.
- Cleaned between every patient. Treatment rooms are sanitised after each visit, with documented turnover protocols.
- Single-use disposables. Used wherever clinically indicated, no shortcuts.
- Sterilised reusable instruments. Following standard medical sterilisation protocols.
- Calibrated, serviced devices. Lasers and energy-based equipment are serviced on schedule to ensure consistent output.
- Trained clinical team. Dermatology nurses and technicians assist during procedures and counsel you on aftercare.
- Discreet, confidential. Front desk is briefed for sensitive concerns; patient records are kept private and used only for continuity of care.
- Doctor-led, always. Injectables, lasers and chemical peels are performed or directly overseen by Dr. Prajct Sao — never left entirely to technicians.
- Accessible between visits. If something doesn’t look right, reach out for guidance instead of waiting weeks for your next appointment.
That combination of medical expertise, careful hygiene and accessible follow-up is the standard we hold ourselves to.
