Here I am presenting my research at the KNOWLEDGE SHARE 2023 conference. I believe that staying engaged with the latest academic findings in dermatology and trichology is essential for providing the best possible care to my patients.
I was privileged to author a chapter on "Smoking and Hair Loss" in a leading medical textbook on hair transplantation. This research explores the direct link between smoking and conditions like androgenic alopecia, reinforcing the need for a holistic approach to hair health.
Receiving a certificate for my paper presentation at the KNOWLEDGE SHARE 2023 event. It is an honor to be recognized by my peers and mentors in the field of cutaneous sciences.
This is the cover of the "Hair Transplantation" 2nd Edition textbook, a comprehensive guide for medical professionals. My contribution to this work reflects my commitment to advancing the scientific understanding of hair loss and its treatments.

About Hair & Scalp Treatments

How I Approach Hair & Scalp Issues

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.

My Story

Hey, I’m Dr. Nivedita. Dermatology isn’t just my job, it’s my everyday adventure. Still at The Venkat Center, learning and teaching, soaking in wisdom from Dr. Venkataram Mysore Sir—he’s the real MVP! I get a kick out of research, workshops, and writing chapters about stuff like smoking and hair loss. Biggest win? Co-authoring a paper with my mom, who’s an OBGYN! Real 'mom-daughter goals' moment. Always chasing new knowledge, always sharing it.

My Work

What I Do - I help with acne, pigmentation, tanning, vitiligo, warts, milia, scars, and offer procedures like laser tattoo removal, Hollywood peel, botox, fillers.

No Guesswork, Please - Don’t DIY your skin—come see a board-certified dermatologist for a plan that actually fits your needs.

Personalized Skin Care - Your skin’s not like anyone else’s. I’ll figure out what works for you and build a routine just for you.
