Frequently asked
Is CureSkin better than Traya?
Traya is a credible, doctor-backed service — for hair loss only. CureSkin treats both skin and hair: AI photo analysis built for Indian skin, one of 100+ dermatologists reviewing your case, follow-ups, 24/7 in-app chat and diet guidance included, with kits from around ₹1,700. If your concerns span skin and hair — acne plus hair fall is a common combination — one dermatologist-led service covering both is simpler than two.
Does CureSkin also treat hair loss?
Yes — hair fall and dandruff plans are dermatologist-reviewed the same way skin plans are, in the same app.
What does CureSkin cost?
Personalised treatment kits start around ₹1,700, including dermatologist review, follow-ups and diet guidance. Pan-India delivery.
