Talks & Papers
A catalogue of invited talks, published research, oral papers, and posters across clinical dermatology and dermatosurgery.
Most of my speaking is on five recurring topics: combination treatment of acne scars (release, fat grafting, ablative laser); autologous fat grafting — microfat, nanofat, and SVF — for facial rejuvenation and acne-scar correction; foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins, with focus on the low-concentration high-volume technique that suits resource-restricted Indian settings; regional nerve blocks for dermatosurgery; and hair transplantation in advanced grades of baldness with beard- and body-donor sources. Invited international appearances include ASDS 2024 (American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Orlando), DSCON 2024 (Bangladesh), the DASIL World Congresses in Buenos Aires (2018) and Goa (2019), the International Union of Phlebology meet in Krakow (2019), the American Venous & Lymphatic Society congress in Phoenix (2019), and the ISDS annual meeting in Manila (2019). Current work on clinical AI is described on the Building page.
Recent talks (2019–2026) appear first. Earlier oral papers and posters from residency and fellowship years follow.
