Specialist skin care. Evidence-led.
Comprehensive medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology delivered by board-certified physicians. Insurance accepted. Same-week appointments.
Treatments delivered with zero rush, since 2008.
A specialist dermatology practice — not a wellness studio.
Meridian Dermatology was founded in 2008 by Dr. Helena Marin after fifteen years at Kathmandu University Teaching Hospital. We operate as a full medical clinic: EMR-backed records, in-house pathology partner, and physicians who hold privileges at three regional hospitals.
- Board-certified physicians only — no aestheticians performing medical work
- In-house dermoscopy, biopsy, and Mohs micrographic surgery
- Accredited training site for dermatology residents

Verified outcomes from real patients.
"After three other dermatologists, Dr. Marin finally got my cystic acne under control. Clear skin for the first time in a decade."
"They caught a basal cell on my temple early, removed it cleanly, and the scar is barely visible six months on. Hugely grateful."
"Started biologics here last year. My PASI score dropped 90% in four months. Honest, evidence-based, never overpromised."
