Kochi Metro timings →DermaVue — serving Kaloor patients
Kaloor is one of Kochi's most established commercial centres — anchored by the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, the Town Hall, and the rapidly developing Vyttila–Kaloor corridor. The Kochi Metro Blue Line runs directly from Kaloor Metro Station north to Aluva, where DermaVue is 100 metres from the terminus. By road via NH-47, Kaloor to Aluva is approximately 16 minutes outside peak hours. We see patients from Kaloor, Palarivattom, Thammanam, Elamakkara, Stadium Junction, and the high-density apartments along the Stadium Link Road.
Patients from across Kochi and the Greater Cochin area book at our main Kochi dermatology clinic — board-certified MD DVL dermatologists, US-FDA approved lasers, hospital-grade FUE operating theatre.
Kaloor to DermaVue — the Direct Metro Route
Kaloor Metro Station sits on the Kochi Metro Blue Line — the same line that runs to our Aluva terminus station. The 25-minute air-conditioned ride bypasses NH-47 traffic entirely. For Kaloor patients with mobility constraints or those visiting during peak hours, the metro is consistently faster than driving.
