Frequently asked

How do I find the best dermatologist in Sri Lanka?
Review Guru ranks 49 dermatologists by aggregated patient reviews and ratings. Compare their feedback, check which hospitals each practises at, and confirm SLMC registration — then channel through the hospital directly.
Are the dermatologists listed on Review Guru verified?
Listings display SLMC (Sri Lanka Medical Council) registration where we've been able to verify it, alongside practice locations and patient reviews. Always confirm a doctor's current registration and channelling availability with the hospital before booking.
How much does a dermatologist consultation cost in Sri Lanka?
Private channelling fees vary by doctor and hospital — typically a few thousand rupees plus the hospital's booking charge. Confirm the current fee when you channel, as rates change.
Which dermatologists in Sri Lanka specialise in acne and eczema treatment?
Several dermatologists listed on Review Guru see high caseloads of acne and eczema patients — the two most common reasons for a skin specialist visit in Sri Lanka. The list ranks skin doctors by patient rating and review count, so the most consistently reviewed dermatologist for acne in Colombo and eczema specialist appointments appear toward the top. A dermatologist with 30+ reviews and a 4.7★ rating is a stronger signal of reliable acne and eczema care than a single 5★ outlier.
Which skin specialists in Colombo offer laser and cosmetic dermatology?
Colombo has a growing number of cosmetic dermatologists offering laser skin treatment, chemical peels, and skin-whitening procedures alongside standard medical dermatology. The best approach is to read each listed dermatologist's patient reviews — patients who have had laser skin treatment in Colombo or cosmetic procedures often mention these specifically. For skin whitening specialists in Sri Lanka, confirm that the cosmetic dermatologist discusses safety and realistic outcomes at the initial consultation before committing to any procedure.
What is the cost of a dermatologist consultation in Colombo?
Private dermatologist channelling fees in Colombo typically run LKR 2,500–5,000 for the initial consultation, depending on the doctor and hospital. This is the channelling fee only — diagnostic tests (skin scraping, patch testing, biopsy) and prescribed medication are charged separately. Fees at specialist hospitals in Colombo 5, 7, and 10 tend toward the upper end of this range. Confirm the current dermatologist consultation fee when you book, as rates are revised annually.
