Aakaar Medical Technologies Ltd., a Mumbai-based company listed on the NSE Emerge platform, has launched XELIX, a digital platform that connects patients with verified dermatologists and aesthetic medicine specialists across India. The initiative was introduced during the FAHA Dermatology Conference in the presence of leading experts, including Dr. Jerryl Banait, Dr. Syed Nazim, Dr. V. S. Rathore and Dr. Vijay Nagdev.
The platform has been developed to make it easier for patients to identify qualified medical professionals for skin, hair and aesthetic treatments at a time when demand for cosmetic procedures continues to grow. With social media and online promotions heavily influencing treatment decisions, healthcare experts have raised concerns about patients unknowingly seeking care from unqualified practitioners, increasing the risk of complications such as infections, burns, scarring and permanent skin damage.
XELIX addresses this challenge by offering access to a curated network of dermatologist-led clinics that follow standardized, evidence-based clinical practices. The network includes specialists in dermatology, trichology, plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, enabling patients to find experts for conditions ranging from acne and pigmentation to hair loss, skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing treatments.
Through the platform, users can search for specialists based on their city or treatment requirement, review verified doctor profiles and schedule appointments online. According to the company, consultations begin with a detailed medical assessment, ensuring treatment recommendations are based on clinical evaluation rather than social media trends or promotional claims.
Dr. Vijay Nagdev, MD, Dermatologist, said, “Aesthetic treatments are medical procedures and should always be performed by qualified and trained doctors. Choosing an unqualified provider can increase the risk of infections, scarring, skin damage, poor results, and other health complications. Through its trusted network of verified dermatologists and aesthetic specialists, XELIX helps patients find the right experts for safe, evidence-based, and ethical care, while promoting high standards of treatment and patient safety.”
Dr. V. S. Rathore, plastic surgeon, said, “The rapid growth of aesthetic medicine has created tremendous opportunities for patients, but it has also made choosing the right healthcare provider increasingly challenging. Today, patients are often influenced by social media, online promotions, and marketing claims, making it difficult to identify qualified medical experts for their skin, hair, and aesthetic concerns. XELIX has been created to bridge this gap by connecting patients with qualified, certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and aesthetic physicians. Our vision is to make it easier for every patient to identify the right specialist for their hair, skin, and aesthetic concerns while ensuring access to evidence-based treatments, standardized clinical protocols, and the highest standards of patient care. XELIX is not just a platform—it is a commitment to restoring trust, transparency, and clinical excellence in aesthetic healthcare.”
Apart from helping patients, the company said the platform also supports dermatologists and aesthetic physicians through access to standardized treatment protocols, advanced diagnostic technologies, professional collaboration, training opportunities and greater digital visibility.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Rahul Sawakhande, CEO & Director of Aakaar Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd., said, “XELIX Clinic has been developed as a collaborative ecosystem for dermatologists and aesthetic physicians. Doctors associated with the network benefit from standardized clinical protocols, access to advanced diagnostic technologies, training & knowledge sharing, continuous professional collaboration and increased digital visibility through a trusted national brand. The platform enables specialists to focus on delivering high-quality patient care while becoming part of a larger network committed to clinical excellence and ethical dermatology practice.”
As India’s aesthetic medicine sector continues to expand, industry observers believe platforms that promote verified medical professionals and evidence-based care can play an important role in improving patient safety and strengthening confidence in dermatology services.
The launch of XELIX reflects the growing focus on transparency and quality in aesthetic healthcare. By enabling patients to connect with verified specialists while encouraging standardized clinical practices, the platform aims to support safer treatment choices and contribute to higher standards across India’s dermatology and aesthetic medicine landscape.
