Dr. Shanika Arsecularatne, the youngest person to be certified by the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine (AAAM) in Sri Lanka, is very passionate about conveying the importance of Aesthetic medicine to Sri Lankans. It is an area of medical practice, which embraces multidisciplinary modalities dedicated to create a harmonious physical and psychological balance through non-invasive, minimally invasive and invasive treatment modalities, which are evidence-based.

Gaining her primary education from Holy Family Convent and Asian International School where she completed her Advanced Levels, she then went on to pursue her aspiration of becoming a Medical doctor. Fulfilling her dream, she returned to Sri Lanka to successfully pass the Sri Lankan Medical Councils licensing exam to practice in Sri Lanka.

I did my internship at the Hambantota General Hospital in Surgery, Pediatrics and was a RHO in Radiology, said Dr. Shanika reflecting on the start of her career.

While pursuing her passion of becoming a Doctor of Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Shanika also practices in Pediatrics in a leading private Hospital in Colombo.

Having studied under many of the worlds leading specialists in Aesthetic Medicine she received the post Graduate Advanced Diploma from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and is currently in the process of completing the Fellowship in Aesthetic and Anti- Aging Medicine.

Dr. Shanika is on an upward trajectory to fulfill her aspirations while providing that benefit to Sri Lankans as well.

While working in Colombo and in rural regions, I have observed various skin disorders in newborns, teenagers, and in the aging population such as, disfiguring birth marks, acne and acne scars, pigmentation, surgical or traumatic scars and skin problems associated with aging and hormonal imbalances.
