Skin and hair treatments offered allegedly without qualified dermatologists, aesthetic procedures (related to skin and hair) performed by dental practitioners, and online consultations provided without proper clinical registration were among the irregularities detected by the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) during inspections at multiple clinics in Hyderabad on Wednesday (June 10, 2026).
According to the Council, Neoskin Clinic offered skin and hair-related treatments without the presence of a qualified dermatologist and without obtaining the requisite permissions from the competent authorities. At Ora Aesthetics, aesthetic procedures relating to skin and hair were found to be carried out by dental practitioners, raising concerns over the scope of practice and compliance with applicable regulations.
The Council also found that Traya Hairloss Solutions offered treatment for hair loss through online consultations without proper clinical registration and in the absence of qualified dermatologists.
Based on the findings, TGMC said it would initiate proceedings against the entities concerned under Sections 34 and 54 of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, and other applicable provisions of law.
Registered medical practitioners found to be facilitating, promoting or associating with such unauthorised and unethical practices could face disciplinary proceedings under the Medical Ethics Regulations, they added.
The Council also said it would recommend to the Hyderabad District Collector and the District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO) that establishments engaged in unauthorised medical activities be sealed and that appropriate legal action be initiated against the management concerned in the interest of public health and patient safety.
