Kosmoderma Skin, Hair & Body Clinic — Nungambakkam
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 52.4/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #13 of 21 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Dermatology, hair and body-contouring branch in Nungambakkam, part of a nationwide chain founded and medically directed by a named dermatologist. The clinic's own site does not publish a street address for this branch. A National Accreditation Board for Hospitals search for the operating company's name found only its Bengaluru facility accredited, none in Chennai; the specialist-board and medical-licence registers for Tamil Nadu could not be queried.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Dr. Chytra V Anand found by first name "Chytra" on the Karnataka Medical Council register via the NMC national cross-check (reg. 60144, 2001); the NMC national list does not disclose specialty. [nmc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Founder and Medical Director named with role network-wide; this Chennai page names the city but no street address or resident on-site physician, so the tie to a specific location is weaker than the flagship Bengaluru clinic. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Same NMC record as M1: matched by name, Karnataka Medical Council registration 60144 (2001). [nmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The clinic's Chennai facility page names no legal entity for this specific location (brand only); the group's Bengaluru entity ("Kosmoderma Healthcare Private Limited") is not confirmed to be the operator of this Chennai facility. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The clinic's own site states "India's 1st NABH Accredited Aesthetic Brand" (a claim confirmed for the brand's Bengaluru facility) but does not publish a certificate number for this branch; no physician licence number published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative ("renowned") found on the shared founder-bio page cited by this record; re-fetched 2026-09-18. [site] a renowned Cosmetic Dermatologist |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route content found on the pages loaded this pass. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
