About Dr. Katheeja Nasika

Dr. Katheeja Nasika is a Consultant Dermatologist, Trichologist, and Cosmetologist based at Rela Hospital in Chennai. With over three years of focused clinical experience, she brings a thoughtful, patient-first approach to everything from complex skin conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo to modern cosmetic treatments that help people feel confident in their own skin.

Dr. Nasika holds an MBBS degree and a Diplomate of National Board qualification in Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology (DNB-DVL) — a nationally recognised postgraduate credential that reflects a rigorous standard of clinical training across medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Her certified advanced training covers facelift techniques using threads, Botulinum Toxin Type-A, laser-based pigmentation treatments, and more, giving her a well-rounded skill set across both medical and aesthetic care.

Patients often speak warmly about her thoroughness and her ability to explain conditions and treatment plans in plain, reassuring language. She takes the time to understand each person's skin concerns in context — whether it is a long-standing medical condition or a cosmetic goal — and she stays up to date with evolving treatment options so her patients always have access to current, evidence-based care.

For international patients travelling to Chennai for dermatology treatment, Dr. Nasika's broad expertise — spanning clinical dermatology, trichology, dermato-surgery, and aesthetic procedures — means fewer referrals and more continuity of care under one roof. Gaf Healthcare works directly with her team at Rela Hospital to help you plan your consultation, treatment schedule, and stay from start to finish.
