You may know this clinic as BNR Skin & Vitiligo Hospital.
That is the name it traded under until recently, and the Google listing still carries it alongside the new one. Nothing else changed: the same doctor, the same rooms in Secunderabad, the same patient files. If you were treated here before, your history is already on record.
What runs here
Everything in one place, deliberately.
A skin clinic that sends you elsewhere for the procedure it just recommended wastes a visit and, often, a diagnosis. So the consulting room, the phototherapy and excimer equipment, and the dermatosurgery list are at one address. The one you are reading about.
That matters most for the work this practice is deepest in. Vitiligo is assessed, phototherapy is started, stability is judged over months and, when surgery is appropriate, grafting is done, without a handover in the middle.
It also means a first consultation frequently ends with something being done the same day: a dermatoscopic look, a scraping, a photograph for the baseline record against which everything later is compared.
Before you decide
Who is treating you, and what his patients said.
Dr. (Lt Col) Khagendra Varada
- 45 years in dermatology and dermatosurgery
- 25 of them in the Indian Army Medical Corps
- MBBS, Osmania Medical College
- Dip. Practical Dermatology, Cardiff · Dip. Dermatology, AAAM
Reg. No. 10461, Hyderabad State Medical Council
Full background →“Dr. Varada is an incredibly patient, knowledgeable and wonderful doctor. He sorted out an issue that I had been dealing with for years in one appointment and there’s been no looking back since!”
“Dr. Varada was excellent. Clearly knowledgeable and thorough, took time to explain what they saw and why. Office staff were friendly and the visit felt unrushed. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a dermatologist who really knows their craft.”
Under one roof
What is actually in the building.
A phototherapy cabinet for whole-body treatment, a laser for one patch at a time, the lens a diagnosis is made with, and the instruments for the surgical list. All at the address above, which is why a consultation here often ends with something being done the same day.

In the light room
What phototherapy reaches, and what it doesn’t.
Narrowband ultraviolet is not a heat treatment and it does not act on the whole body. It penetrates the epidermis and the top of the dermis and stops there, which is both why it can be given twice a week for months and why it does nothing for anything deeper.
- 1Ultraviolet enters here
- 2Pigment cells reactivated
- 3Immune cells suppressed, and no deeper
Sessions are a few minutes each and are given at the clinic, so a course does not require a second address. Vitiligo and psoriasis are the two conditions it is used most for here.

Consultation fees
What an appointment costs
The consultation fee is fixed and is the same for everyone. What treatment costs is not, and is quoted after the examination — those are two different questions and only one of them can honestly be answered in advance.
At the clinic, Secunderabad
In-person appointment
₹1,499
The full examination, including the two instruments that cannot travel over video: the Wood’s lamp and the dermatoscope.
- Booked on WhatsApp; a time is confirmed back to you
- Bring previous prescriptions and any recent reports
- Only the difference is charged after an online consult
- Procedures are quoted separately, after examination
Anywhere in India
Online video consultation
₹1,299
History and photographs are taken on WhatsApp first, so the doctor has read your case before the call begins rather than during it.
- Paid in advance, then you choose a date from the open slots
- In English, Telugu or Hindi
- Diagnosis and plan sent back to you in writing
- Follow-up questions on the same WhatsApp thread
Fees are for the consultation itself. Where an online consultation turns out to need an examination in person, only the difference of ₹200 is charged, not a second full fee. Medication, tests and procedures are separate and are quoted after examination, in writing.
