About

I see so many people trying random fixes for their hair, but honestly, you need the right diagnosis first. As a dermatologist who’s deep into trichology (that’s all things hair and scalp), my main thing is figuring out the actual cause of your trouble. Please, don’t go by what you see online - even the fanciest shampoo can’t help if you don’t know what’s wrong.

What Happens When You Come In

• I do a full-on deep dive, checking your genetics, health, habits, and yes, your daily routine.
• I use a science-first approach for everything, from advanced trichology consultation to medicines and lifestyle tweaks.
• We look at your whole picture, not just your scalp, because what you eat and even how you live shows up in your hair.

Hair Loss & Why It Happens

• Pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) is something I see a lot, for both men and women.
• Smoking-related hair loss is real - I’ve even written about it. The more you smoke, the worse it gets, simple as that.

Not Just Hair Loss

If your hair is breaking, feels dull or brittle, it could be from too much sun, heat, or chemicals.

• UV damage hair protection is a must here in namma Bengaluru (our Bengaluru).
• Take it easy with the straighteners and dyes; your hair will thank you.

Real Talk

I love what I do, and nothing beats a patient telling me ‘nivēditā mēḍaṁ, avaru tumbā inna cennāge nōḍiddāre’ (Nivedita ma’am, she has treated me even better). That’s why I keep learning and showing up - your hair health is worth it.
